Guild Wars' Damage System Explained

RPG Stars has whipped up a lengthy description of the damage system in Guild Wars, based upon recent in-game testing they have done. Check it out:
Some of which is contained in this article is based on speculation and may actually not exist in the game. The game developers have not, and most likely will not confirm nor release the game equations to the public - even after game release.

Those who wish to do the same as I did and figure everything out from scratch should be aware that it does take a fair amount of time.
