Attack Damage vs Impact
Can someone definitively explain what determines damage in this game? Best yet, could Bungie just... put it out there so we know? I keep seeing different explanations saying completely different things. A straight, tested answer would be great.
A straight, Bungie confirmed answer would be greater. Thanks.

EDIT 1: I also need to know, apparently, if Impact is the same across all weapon classes. Does my Pulse Rifle with the same impact as my Scout Rifle do the same damage per round (not per burst)? Again, how do we know? Anything confirmed?

17 RepliesAttack determines the level you optimize damage. 331 delivers a possible 100% damage to level 33 enemies (if you are level 33) take the first two numbers of attack. That is the level damage possible. So a level 30 with a max 300 attack weapon will do negligible damage to a level 33 enemy compared to a 32 with a 331 weapon. Impact is just the max damage available to said weapon. So attack+enemy level+your level= optimal damage. Impact = damage from said equation.
