Rift How Damage Works Math Guide by Talamare

Weapons are Normalized to 2.75 (1H) and 3.8 (2H) attack speed

1 Attack Power = 0.15 Damage
% damage increases affect the amount of damage you gain per 1 Attack Power, Affects the base damage of a skill and Affects the Base damage of the weapon

% damage increases stack addictively

Calculating how much damage you gain per 1 AP is simple
0.15 * (Total % of damage increase)

IE
0.15 * [1+ 0.40 (2H Spec) + 0.18 (Deadly Strikes) + 0.08 (Soldiers Bearing)] = 1 AP = 0.249 damage

Calculating Total Damage
(Normalized Weapon DPS + [AP * 0.15] + Skill Damage) * Total Damage % Increase = Damage Done

Crits
Damage Done * (1.5 + Crit damage increase)
