How does spell damage work?

How does spell damage bonuses work and scale?
For example if you have a +129 spell damage bonus from a piece of gear how much damage would that add to a spell that did exactly 10k damage would the total be 10,129 total damage or a lot more?

✭Each ability has a *different* mathematical formula that converts spell damage into ability damage.
129 spell damage is NOT 129 more ability damage.
You can go to this site and play around with different values to see the damage:

✭Here's an example with math.
The formula for Elemental Blockade from destro staff skill lines is:tooltip = 0.02503 * Magicka + 0.26186 * SpellDamage - 0.85598
So if we say you have 40k magicka and 3000 spell damage, the tooltip damage will be:tooltip = 0.02503 * 40000 + 0.26186 * 3000 - 0.85598 = 1786 damage
If you add 129 spell damage, so that you are now at 40k magicka and 3129 spell damage, the tooltip will be:tooltip = 0.02503 * 40000 + 0.26186 * 3129 - 0.85598 = 1820 damage
You can see that adding 129 spell damage increased the ability tooltip by 34 damage.0 -
pteam✭✭✭So your saying that in the case above adding 129 spell damage actually added less than 129 damage per spell? That’s like nothing lolThe Flawless Conqueror

You have to remember that adding stat increases the power of everything you're casting with that resource, and you can have multiple effects active at once. Also, the example given was a Damage over Time skill, which make up their strength over a duration rather than having an instant damage output. Solve it for a direct damage ability and you'll see a higher contribution.Edited by Erraln on December 12, 2017 10:40PM0
