Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

"reduces melee damage taken by ..."

Seems like the equivalent of Dampen Magic "reduces magic damage taken by ..."

How should these quofficients be interpreted in terms of actual reduction per hit (% wise maybe or absolute number reduction) ? Possible to calculate a DPS reduction on a mob maybe?

Trying to get a better grasp on the practicality of the numbers.

Thanks in advance.

Absolute numbers before armor calculation.

Spells that use this mechanic: stoneskin totem, curse of weakness and blessing of sanctuary

Spell X does 100 damage.

Dampen reduced the damage taken by 40.

Base damage is now 60.

60 is then applied to the partial resist roll table. - I resisted 50% of the damage.

I took 30 damage.


If you try to apply dampen after the partial roll it would look like this - 100 damage 50% resisted.

50 damage, dampen magic 40 (rng) took 10 damage. Would be nice if it was after, but it is not.

True about the part that dampen magic is before resistances.

But false on the base dmg part. Its depending on the spell that is casted on you.

3.5s spells get 100% of the dampens effect reduced, while 1,5s or instants get reduced by ~43% of dampens effect.

As of 1.12, this spell will no longer reduce a spell's damage below 50% of the total damage it would have dealt. If Dampen Magic reduced a spell's hit from 100 damage to 10 damage, that spell will now do 50 damage.
