Reading through the article Physical Damage Types, I am left wondering, "How well do we understand the damage/defense mechanics of this game?" Is it as simple as Physical Damage - Physical Defense = damage dealt? In a game this complicated, I doubt it. I didn't see a thread on the subject, but if this has already been discussed please point me in the right direction.
