1. What is RS3 Damage Calculation?

The RS3 Damage calculation determines the actual damage output of an ability by multiplying the base ability damage by various modifiers. This is fundamental for optimizing combat performance in RuneScape 3.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the RS3 damage formula:

Where:

• \( ability\_dmg \) — Base damage of the ability
• \( modifiers \) — Combined effect of all damage modifiers (accuracy, gear bonuses, potions, etc.)

Explanation: The equation accounts for all multiplicative damage modifiers that affect your ability damage.

3. Importance of Damage Calculation

Details: Accurate damage calculation is crucial for optimizing DPS, planning combat strategies, and comparing different gear setups in RuneScape 3.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the base ability damage and the combined modifier value (as a decimal). All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Where can I find ability damage values?
A: Ability damage values can be found in the RuneScape wiki or in-game ability descriptions.

Q2: How do I calculate modifiers?
A: Modifiers are multiplicative. For example, 10% damage increase would be 1.10, 20% would be 1.20, etc.

Q3: Does this account for accuracy?
A: No, this calculates potential damage assuming the attack hits. Actual in-game damage would multiply this by accuracy chance.

Q4: What's typical ability damage range?
A: Basic abilities typically range from 20-188%, thresholds 200-300%, and ultimates 300-600% of weapon damage.

Q5: How do gear bonuses factor in?
A: All gear bonuses should be combined into the modifiers value (e.g., 1.10 for 10% damage bonus from gear).
