Formula Used
Base hit: flat damage × (1 + percentage damage ÷ 100) × weapon damage percentage.
Estimated hit chance: 85 + (Offensive Ability − enemy Defensive Ability) ÷ 40, limited between 60% and 100%.
Estimated DPS: base hit × attacks per second × hit chance × average critical factor × enemy resistance multiplier.
Enemy resistance sequence: subtract flat reduction, apply reduced-target percentage, then subtract stackable percentage reduction.
Physical test damage: incoming hit after physical resistance minus absorbed armor. This is a planning estimate, not an exact game simulation.
Overall score: 42% damage, 40% defense, and 18% sustain. Every component remains visible in the result.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this include every Grim Dawn item?
No. This standalone file provides complete planning fields without bundling a copyrighted full item database. You can enter any item manually.
Are the DPS results exact?
No. Grim Dawn combat includes skill formulas, animation timings, armor interactions, proc uptime, and enemy-specific mechanics. The calculator provides transparent estimates.
Can I plan dual-masteries?
Yes. Select both masteries, record mastery-bar investment, and add all active, passive, toggle, modifier, and transmuter skills.
How are resistance penalties handled?
The selected difficulty applies a configurable planning penalty. Effective values, overcaps, and deficits appear in the result table.
Can I plan Devotions?
Yes. Add constellations, costs, affinities, Celestial Powers, bindings, and acquisition order. Point totals are checked automatically.
Does it support pet builds?
Yes. Add permanent, temporary, or player-scaled pets with damage, speed, OA, DA, resistances, and uptime.
Can I compare two builds?
Yes. Save snapshots as Build A and Build B. The comparison tool reports differences in health, OA, DA, armor, DPS, and resistance values.
How are builds saved?
The browser-storage option saves form data locally. JSON export creates a portable backup that can be imported later.
Can I create a PDF?
Use PDF / Print. Your browser can save the printable results and build summary as a PDF file.
