I understand that DEX is substracted from magic damage only in PvP. Am I right?

So if my dex is higher enough than the enemy's one, then it's str who is more important? E.g. my enemy has dex=30. So if mine is 36, I always hit him. But if my str is 40 and his arm is also 40, then, following the formula, damage = (str - arm) * 2 = (40 - 40)*2 = 0?

And how do i calculate the critical hit damage?

Sorry for stupid questions, but I found no information regarding the formulas in General section.
Piffl/El Majo already explained everything, but I would just like to add that in Damage Calculator you have third sheet (Calculation) where you can see exactly what happened in the battle.

Time: seconds passed from the beginning of the fight. They are changed based on the hit rate - if you have weapon speed 7 then you hit every 0.7 seconds. For mages it is different - you can hit 7 times per second, so hit rate is 0.142857... seconds.

Dice roll: well, dice roll :-) If it is 5 then you have critical hit. If it is below 5 dexterity comes into play - your dexterity + dice roll have to be higher then enemy's dexterity. Example: your DEX is 50, enemy's is 45. If dice roll is -5 than your DEX + dice roll is 45 which is the same as enemy's DEX, so you miss. If dice roll is higher than -5 than you hit. Now, when you have a hit armor comes into play. If your dice roll was 4 enemy's armor does not reduce your attack. If your dice roll was lower than 4 then enemy's armor reduces your attack. I just realized that for a critical hit the dice roll is still random. It does not affect the calculation, but I will change this in some future version.

Damage: damage you did to the enemy.

Explanation: what happened in that turn. For instace, "Hit: STR not reduced by enemy's ARM" will be written if you got a hit and the dice roll was 4.

Enemy HP: current enemy HP. It will decrease as the fight progresses.

Enemy #: current enemy you are fighting, if you chose more than 1 enemy.

Mana left: only for mages, it tells you how much mana you have in every turn. It gets regenerated every 5 seconds.

PS. If you chose mage don't forget to enter mana! Right know Calculator does not validate parameters, but I will add in the future.

[Edit] I made a mistake when describing dice roll. It is now changed. I also have a bug which will be fixed soon (for dice roll <= 0 I did not compare dexterity, so the calculation is wrong).

Ok, thanks. Now it's clear. Probably it could be good idea to fix a post with all formulas in General Information section, otherwise it's hard to find all the details.

What I miss is info about how monster attacks work. With this I could simulate the whole fight, with damage to a character.

Monster attacks work the same way...the only real difference is in rate of attack. The vast majority attack at a rate of 1 per second. There are, however, a few (catapult for example) which attack slower. Also, there are a couple in game now that attack faster. I will try to get you a list sometime, but no promises how fast it'll bee... very busy ;)

It would be good to know in what language you want the explanation to be given?
