Build Basics: Damage Calculations

Описание: In this video, we'll be explaining the commonly used ability metric that build creators use to compare different gear set-ups and builds. We'll be exploring how damage is calculated in ESO, how you can create your own builds, and clear up some concepts that are not well-known or have been miscommunicated in the past.

Concerning the misconception of diminishing returns, as I kinda was blabbering about it: you will only really see this if the equation has one of two things. Either the equation has a logarithmic term, which increases at a decreasing rate. Or the equation has two polynomial terms that have equal degree in the numerator and denominator. In the first case, the curve will always increase, but at a decreasing rate. In the second case, there will be a horizontal asymptote equal to the ratio of the coefficients preceding the polynomial terms; you will never go above this value. Because we don't see either happening in the damage equations, we can say that there is no diminishing returns.

A big thanks to Asayre and the team at the Unofficial Elder Scroll Pages (UESP) for all their work and effort to discovering these formulas and creating a tool to easily create and compare builds!
