What do you think about adding splash damage formula? There are a lot of mentions about splash damage, but not even one refers to what it actually is. I pretty much know the formula, just to make sure I'm not wrong:

Splash Damage = D * T2
  • D = Damage value of a skill given in percentage. It can be looked up on specific skill's page in Total Damage section.
  • T = Number of targets

There should be a mention, though, that this formula works when you want to count total damage dealt to T enemies. If you want to count damage dealt per enemy, skip the power of T.
