Damage Done vs Weapon/Spell damage

ForTheEmpire

Warden Passive : Increases your damage done by x% for each Animal Companion ability slotted.
Fighter guild passive : Increases Weapon Damage by x% for each Fighters Guild ability slotted.

Wanted to know if they do the same thing or not for final damage output?

Short answer: Not the same thing.

The 2% “Damage Done” and 3% “Weapon Damage” actually end up being very similar, both around 1.3% increase to your damage skills for end game builds (lower CP builds will get more out of the “Damage Done”). They affect different things though (with a lot of overlap). Like the FG passive will affect healing too, the AC passive will not. On the other hand the AC passive affects even damage types that are not based on your Weapon damage, like weapon enchants and proc sets.

%10 more weapon damage means your weapon damage stat goes up by %10.

%10 more damage done means your final tooltip after weapon damage and max stamina involved, goes up by %10.

It depends on your spec. Best thing to do is plug it into the calculator and check.

If you’re 5m I think weapon damage is better, if you’re 5h I think damage done is better but I’m not sure. There are too many variables to say one’s better than the other.
