[2023] Damage calculator including skills

Hey. Been playing for the fast few months and really enjoying it! I think I understand how more and increased damage modifiers work, but how do these interact with skill damage?

For example, rive gets 4% increased damage per point of strength. Idk what base dmg is for rive but let's say 100. So 10 strength = 40% so rive damage is now 140.

Now say on my gear i have + 100 Melle damage and 100% increased melle damage. Is this independent and additive with the rive damage, so it now does 340? Or are there other dynamics in play?

I ask because I switched gloves, only Stat change was I dropped healing effectiveness and added 8 str, and saw a much bigger damage increase than expected.

I'm still a little unsure of this myself, but from what I can tell it's something like this?

Example:

Rive

Base Damage: 10

Skill scaling: 4% increased damage, per strength

Skill passive tree node A: Rive deals 15% more damage

Skill passive tree node B: Rive deals 30% more damage

/

Character

Main hand: Generic melee weapon implicit (+12 Melee Damage)

Unique glove of hitting things: +3 attack damage

Strength: 5

Rive Strength scaling = 4 (% per stat) *5 (# of current stat)

= 20% increased damage (To Rive only)

Character passive tree: 50% increased attack damage

Temporary buff: 50% increased attack damage

/

All relevant sources of each three modifiers are calculated like so?

All flat damage that can apply to Rive currently (Physical, Attacks, etc) get added to one final total (See below for added effectiveness)

All % increased damage that can apply to Rive currently (Physical, Attacks, etc) get added to one final total

Lastly, all % more damage that can apply to Rive currently (Physical, Attacks, etc) are multiplied together to one final total

=

So it should look something like this

Rive:

(Flat Damage): 10 (Base) + 12 (Weapon) + (3) Gloves of whatever

= 25 (Total Flat damage)

All relevant % increased damage are combined together

20% (from skill scaling) + 50% (from buff) +50% (from character passive tree)

= 120% increased damage (Total % inc), which is converted to this

1+(120/100) = 2.20

Damage multipliers are multiplied by each other

1+(15/100)=1.15

*

1+(30/100)=1.3

=1.495 (Total damage multiplier)

Rive damage per Hit

25 (Flat) * 2.2 (%inc)= 55

55 * 1.495 (%multi) = 82.225

Final damage = 82.225

Note: This doesn't include any modifiers on the enemy that can effect the actual damage dealt, i.e. resistances, %10 inc damage taken or 20% less damage taken etc. And I'm not entirely sure at what step they are applied, I assume after all the above steps.

My way of remembering for why it's 1+(#/100) OR (#+100)/100 is because if its increasing the number needs to be above 1. Below 1 and its reducing or less. i.e. 127 * .91 = 115.57

Even if you have 10+ damage multi's, it's still the same idea: +1(#1/100) * +1(#2/100) * +1(#3/110) and so on

If Rive also had say, 140% Added Damage Effectiveness - I.e. 10 (Base) + (12 + 3 = 15 Total added flat)*1.4 (ADE) = 10 + 21 = 31 Total flat damage

This is right. Only thing I would add is that Rive has 2 base damage and 100% added damage effectiveness.
