Thread: Mitigation?
Hi all, got a question on mitigation. Logix had a very nice post on it once upon a time, but I can't seem to find it.
I'm trying to figure out exactly how the damage is calculated now, and how a target's effectiveness and armor rating come into play. If anyone has the answer or remembers the link to Logix post on it, i'd greatly appreciate it.

This doesn't include mitigation.
Mitigation is a percentage reduction of the weapon's damage range subtracted from max damage, 20/40/60 percent at level 1/2/3.
If a weapon has 100-300 damage, its damage range is 200. Against someone with mitigation 1, its damage range is reduced by 20% to 160, making its effective stats 100-260. Against someone with mitigation 3, it'd be 100-180.
