In this segment of the video, the speaker explains the ABCs of Diablo 4 game mechanics, starting with damage reduction. Damage reduction reduces damage from all sources, applying after armor and resistances. Damage reduction does not stack additively but rather multiplicatively, making each additional source less effective. The video also covers armor, which reduces physical damage and contributes to non-physical damage reduction. Armor becomes less effective at higher difficulties, and there is a cap of 85% damage reduction from armor. The speaker mentions that barbarians have 10 all damage reduction by default.록

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the mechanics related to damage reduction from armor, attack power, attack speed, barriers, basic skills, berserking, bleed effects, blood orbs, and bludgeoning damage.

– Damage reduction from armor increases as you level up, but may decrease if you don’t upgrade your gear.
– Attack power is a rough estimate of your damage-dealing capability, influenced by weapons’ attacks per second and offensive stats like crit chance and crit damage.
– Attack speed is determined by weapons’ attacks per second and any bonuses, with an average calculated if dual-wielding.
– Barriers are temporary defensive layers that absorb damage, class-specific and may be built around.
– Basic skills are default attacks that don’t cost resources or have cooldowns.
– Berserking is a temporary Barbarian-specific buff increasing damage and movement speed.
– Bleed effects cause physical damage over time.
– Blood orbs are necromancer mechanics equivalent to health globes in Diablo 3.
– Bludgeoning damage is a type of damage dealt by mace-type weapons, important for certain Barbarian skills and passive abilities.
