Damage

There won't be any damage dampening due to differences in levels in either PvP or PvE.[1]

Damage numbers will not be so large as to be meaningless.[2]

We don't see the need to have these enormous numbers that are really start to lose meaning. That seems to be an innate design issue with other games as they try to balance the damage output in PvP and in PvE; but our design system allows for a more manageable damage protocol for PvE and PvP to be shared; and those damage protocols relate more to lower numbers.[2] – Steven Sharif

Resistances

Different damage types are mitigated by the defensive stats (resistances) on different types of armor.[62]

  • Magic damage is mitigated by cloth armor (light armor).[62]
  • Physical damage is mitigated by plate armor (heavy armor).[62]
  • There will be resistances to elemental damage.[63][64][65]
  • Holy/radiant damage are modifying energy types that have corresponding synergies and resistances.[66]
  • There is also non-mitigated damage.[62]
  • Monsters will have certain types of resistances based on its type.[67]
    Not every monster is going to have unique resistances. They'll share groups of types of resistances based on whether that monster is a particular elemental affinity or a particular heavy armor, particular weapon type, you know stuff like that. So there will be resistances groups that are shared by certain types of monsters and their location and as it relates to their lower background and stuff like that.[67] – Steven Sharif
  • Players will be able to counter resistances with resistance penetration stats.[67]
