Talk:Damage 2.0/@comment-9435727-20170325130615

Hey guys,

I guess I'm just misunderstanding something or stuff, so correct me please (and explain :D ):

Under "Armored" it says that e.g. corrosive damage on ferrite armor gets amplified by +75% (AM = 0.75) and gets reduced by only 25% of the targets armor (quote: "this means that Corrosive damage is only reduced by 25% of a target's whole Ferrite Armor and the base damage is increased by +75%"). So on a target with 1000 armor the calculation for 100 corrosive damage should work like this:

Amplified Damage = 100 * 1.75 = 175

Modified armor value = 1000 * (1 - 0.75) = 250

Damage reduction through armor = 250 / (250 + 300) = 0.454545..

Final Damage = 175 * (1 - 0.454545..) = ~95.454545

And the actual formula for the damage modifier (DM) should look like this:





The given formula under "Armored" seems weird to me, it takes the flat value of 300 from the actual damage reduction formula but I can't see that formual in there.

Can anyone explain where that formula comes from, why it is correct and why mine isn't?
