Damage

• There won't be any damage dampening due to differences in levels in either PvP or PvE.

• Damage numbers will not be so large as to be meaningless.

We don't see the need to have these enormous numbers that are really start to lose meaning. That seems to be an innate design issue with other games as they try to balance the damage output in PvP and in PvE; but our design system allows for a more manageable damage protocol for PvE and PvP to be shared; and those damage protocols relate more to lower numbers. – Steven Sharif

• Erweiterungen can change damage types and values.

• Death by fall damage is possible.
  • Fall damage that occurs while mounted will be first applied to the mount; and if the mount dies as a result, then the remaining damage may overflow onto the player, but this will be determined based on testing.

• Receiving damage can cause casters to fail concentration checks, which does not interrupt the spell, but can result in increased casting time.

Damage types and resistances

Different damage types are mitigated by the defensive stats (resistances) on different types of armor.

Certain damage types will be strong or weak against certain enemy types. So you'll have to be somewhat smart about who you're bringing where, or what abilities or specs. Obviously, you'll be able to do the content, but you'll have an easier time with certain contents if you're using a certain spec over others. – Tradd Thompson

• Magic damage is mitigated by cloth armor (light armor).

• Holy/radiant damage are modifying energy types that have corresponding synergies and resistances.
  • Undead mobs are weak against holy magic.

• Physical damage is mitigated by plate armor (heavy armor).
  • Different classes of weapons may deal different types of physical damage: Bludgeoning damage, Slashing damage, Piercing damage.

• Players will be able to counter resistances with resistance penetration stats.

When there's a lot of different complexity that exists between the multi-layered interactions of damage mitigation, resistances, damage penetration... those things stack up over time and there's an opportunity for that subtlety to be more expressed when the receiving target is, let's say, weak to that or... chosen not to spec into any resistances against that. That keeps things fresh and it also keeps a healthy level of itemization progression that's necessary for the player as well. – Steven Sharif

• There is also non-mitigated damage.

• Monster will have certain types of resistances based on its type.

Not every monster is going to have unique resistances. They'll share groups of types of resistances based on whether that monster is a particular elemental affinity or a particular heavy armor, particular weapon type, stuff like that. So there will be resistances groups that are shared by certain types of monsters and their location and as it relates to their lower background and stuff like that. – Steven Sharif
