Hey guys. So question on traits and runes.

When they say, +5 or +10% damage, what does that mean in regards to weapons, power, abilities, etc?

Does the % damage affect your overall Attack value? Or is it calc’ed before Power is included?

Damage modifier’s are based off of the direct damage formula, the effective damage that you do to a mob. So it’s not calculated before power and does not affect your overall attack value.
