In this segment of the video, Don the Crown discusses the concept of “damage buckets” in relation to the overall damage equation in Diablo 4. He explains how certain factors like weapon damage and damage multipliers, such as those with the term “while” in them, are grouped into specific buckets that impact your overall damage output. Additionally, he emphasizes the importance of resource generation and how it contributes to maximizing damage potential in the game by allowing for more frequent casting of high-damage skills like Hammer of the Ancients. Attack speed is also highlighted as a factor that can interact with these damage buckets as a multiplier.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the importance of resource generation in optimizing builds for end-game content. They mention the potential role of Overpower in the damage equation and how it may interact with other multipliers. The concept of damage categories like vulnerable damage, damage vs. specific enemy types, and damage while under certain conditions is explained. Main stat bonuses for specific classes are also highlighted as a way to boost damage output. The idea of skill damage and how it factors into overall damage is briefly touched upon.

In this segment of the video, the key points discussed include leveling up skills from level one to level five to increase the multiplier on the skill. The importance of stacking multipliers such as using items like Harlequin Crest or other gear that boosts skills is highlighted. The concept of all damage is explained as having multiplicative scaling rather than additive, making it significantly more impactful. Examples are given, such as bonuses like increased damage versus Elites, which fall under the all damage bucket and multiply together. Specific in-game examples like the Barbarian’s skills, such as Hair of the Ancients and War Cry, are used to demonstrate how different multiplicative bonuses can be combined for a greater impact on overall damage output.
