Weapon Damage calculation: is 18mln damage possible or am I stupid?

Grim Dawn General Discussion

So I was using Grim Tools to make a 1-shoting Sentinel. Of course, GT doesn’t have a damage calculator so I had to do this by myself.

But there is one problem here: +% Weapon Damage. If I have (numbers rounded):
Doom Bolt
| 2000 Chaos Damage
| 240% Weapon Damage (and I have 46k Weapon Chaos Damage)
And overall +4328% Chaos Damage
Does that mean that I count {[(2k + <46k * 240%>)*4238%]*Crit Damage} *2 (direct Doom Bolt hit)?
Or do I have {[(2k * 4238%) + <46k * 240%>]*Crit Damage} *2?
Simple English: do I count this 46k showed in calculator * +% Chaos Damage?
Because when I did the first math (2000 + 46000 * 240%) * 4238% * 82% (crit) *2 I came with…
1 Hit 18 milion damage (critical, not counting Resistances, though I have some debuffs to use).
Help!
EDIT: “…including bonuses” with 46k Chaos Damage showed in calculator. That would mean that the second math is correct. But still I’m confused: if there is, for example, 300 Chaos Damage to DB, then it’s multiplied by the bonuses (+% Chaos Damage, +% Critical Damage). So following that logic, if there is 100% Weapon Damage to DB, then it would be the damage shown at the II page of the character multiplied by bonuses. Overcomplication I think. It should show the base Weapon Damage without %bonuses. Ah, someone explain this to me.
EDIT EDIT: New link, I had Voidsoul Bulwark before, now Harbinger, I had to change skills :smiley:

Welcome here :slight_smile:

More or less - the weapon damage displayed in grimtools is already scaled by your %damage - so it is skill flat damage * % damage + %weapon_damage*weapon_damage

18mill def seem a bit far away form last i tried harbinger doom bolt :thinking:

also, sadly doom bolt “cheats”, it’s not actually x2 dmg :confused:
what it does is make 2 separate dmg applications, completely independent of eachother, so 1 can crit, or be high rolled, and the other can be a non crit way lower dmg rolled,

PS safeguard requires you to wear a shield :sweat_smile:

Ah yes, sorry. I made it so I had Voidsoul first, then switched to Harbinger and completely forgot about Aegis and Safeguard. XD
