Talk:Armour

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)
