How exactly does Attack work?

[Chrushev]

So is there one stat for Spell/Melee damage? Or do different stats increase different damages? For example as a druid I got Firefist[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. Does that increase both my Dmg spell DMG and melee swing DMG? Does it only affect one of them? What about heals? Does it improve my heals?

Thanks ahead of time for explaining this :P

Impacts your ability to melee. Firefist adds to your attack rating, which compares to your target's AC rating. It determines whether you will hit the target, and by how much.

There is no adjustment to spell damage. If a spell will hit for 100, it will hit for 100 unless partially resisted. Spell focus items are Luclin-era, and won't be seen here.
