heya, and happy holidays! just curious about some formulas from the game’s dictionary. i checked the forum and found this: > [@Damage Formula Question(s)](https://forums.dungeon-quest.com/t/damage-formula-question-s/1099/4): > > You were very close with this. > > It’s:((((BWD\*(1+WD%)(1+WIQ)) + WD)(1+ED%))))+ED)/AS but on the in-game dictionary the last bit says you _ **multiply** _ the whole quantity by AS, NOT divide. so which is it then? also, where is element damage based from? i just happened to notice that on the stats page of any weapon, it only shows DPS, the min-max base damage and APS but no element damage. from the dictionary it says that ED and ED% are taken across all gear equipped but it doesn’t seem to show–unless by flat ED and ED% you mean the resist that shows on armor, but what about the MH and OH then? lastly, about the formulas regarding DMG after armor/resist, where is the armor/resist part based off of? i don’t suppose that the formula takes into consideration _ **the player’s** _ armor and resistance in a damage formula for _ **enemies** _, no? if not, do you guys have a list or chart of how much armor/resist a monster has? (for resistance, i am aware of the affix greatly resists [element] but just how much is the difference between it and a monster’s natural resistance value?) thanks in advance and happy holidays!!! --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.dungeon-quest.com/t/developer-q-a/3873)._
