ADCTH - damage types

Grim Dawn Gameplay Discussion

Heya folks, quick question. Was working on a vit/chaos melee character, so obviously the physical damage done per hit is abysmal. Picked up a low level hollowed fang and noticed the life steal was truely awful, despite around 2k lmb dps.

Does it only operate off of the physical damage done? I always assumed it was the full attack damage, but other split type melees I played had a bigger physical component so I could very well have confused that. Unfortunately, the game guide is unclear on this.

TY for your time!:slight_smile:

It will affect any direct damage type, including vitality and chaos.

Enemy mobs MAY have ADTCH resistances.

Ah, that’s gotta be it, only tried it in one area, thanks!

Only weapon damage applies adcth. That 2k dps might have some damage over time baked in, and also attack speed. 2000 * 0,04= 80. You are getting maybe 40 per hit.

Essentially all direct damage. The attacks are around 1.5 per sec, the regen was significantly lower than 40, it’s gotta have been resistant mobs.
