Damage Taken
Damage Taken refers to status effects that modify an instance of damage taken by a percentage. It can either increase the damage taken or reduce the damage taken. All sources of damage modifiers are applied after mitigation from Armor and Magic Armor are calculated. Unless stated otherwise, True Damage is affected by these modifiers. Direct Health removal, however, is not affected.
