Diablo 4 Damage Calculation (Damage Formula Explained)

Discover the best ways to maximize your damage in Diablo 4 by understanding the intricate world of Damage Buckets and how damage calculations work.

In Diablo 4, damage calculations revolve around five crucial Damage Buckets: Main Stat, x Damage, Critical Strike Damage, Additive Damage, and Vulnerable Damage. These buckets interact in a unique way – each bucket is multiplicative, while multipliers within a bucket are additive. This fundamental concept forms the foundation of your damage output strategy.

To excel in the game, it's essential to know where to find these multipliers. Vulnerable and Critical Strike Damage, each with its dedicated bucket, are vital for late-game success. They can be discovered on weapons, rings, amulets, skill passives like the Rogue's "Malice," and the paragon board nodes, such as the "Exploit" or "Deadly Ambush."

The global multiplier, often confused with the plus percent multiplier, also plays a significant role. You'll encounter it on Legendary Aspects, unique items, and occasionally on equipment like chest pieces or paragon board nodes. Plus damage primarily comes from equipment affixes, but its practicality can vary.

Don't overlook the main stat, which offers a 10% skill damage boost for every 100 points invested. You can find it on various equipment pieces and the paragon board.

In summary, mastering Diablo 4's Damage Buckets is the key to dealing massive damage. Understanding how these buckets interact and where to find multipliers is crucial. Apply Vulnerable, enhance your crit chance and crit damage, and allocate your points wisely to achieve peak performance.
