    How is damage taken is calculated ?

    Tried googling this for awhile now but no luck so far .

    For example:
    I take 100k raw damage. What is calulated first? Armor? then modifiers like 20% less damage taken?

    Interested to know the exact mechanic behind this!

    Armour first, then modifiers and then static numbers like absorbs. If you have more than one modifier up remember they stack multiplicatively rather than additively.

    100k -20% (barkskin) -65% (armor) = 28k
    100k -65% (armor) -20% (barkskin) =28k

    See... It doesn't matter which order you calculate damage in...
