Reversing DR equation to find monster damage?
So:
Level 27 Armour 115 Estimated Physical Damage Reduction = 14%
If:
Damage Reduction = Armour / ( Armour + (12 * Damage) )
Then:
DR = A/(A+12D) <-- shorthandifying DR*(A+12D) = A DR*A+DR*12D = A DR*12D = A - (DR*A) D = (A-(DR*A))/(DR*12) D = (115-(0.14*115))/(0.14*12) D = 58.869047619047619047619047619048
Does this mean the average damage done by a level 27 monster is ~59?
If this is the case it will be easy for us to compile a table (or graph! :D) of the average monster damage per level. -AnnanFay (talk) 20:16, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
- I guess the pertinent question is, what exactly does "Estimated Physical Damage Reduction" mean? —Vinifera7 (talk) 21:05, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

No.
First, it's estimated physical damage reduction, so in addition to chaos, it also won't apply to fire, cold or lightning damage, only to physical.
Second, it's estimated physical damage reduction - it's a rough guess. The amount that armour protects you is different depending on how strong the hit is - the same amount of armour will prevent a higher percentage of damage from a small hit than from a big one.
The percentage shown as an estimate is based on the average amount of damage we expect a monster of your level to be dealing, but individual monsters will deal more or less damage, thus causing lower or higher amounts of reduction." - Mark_GGG [ bold mine ] - Given the above quote it seems it is an average amount of damage monsters are doing. Probably Normal (white) non-elemental monsters. I'll start gathering some data. -AnnanFay (talk) 22:04, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
- Average damage at level 2 is ~7 and level 29 is ~74. Hmm, where's the best place to put a table where people can enter their own values? This Talk page or some other page? -AnnanFay (talk) 23:08, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
