Physical Damage/Damage Reduction Question

How does phys damage work with the RB def bonus and then with blessed % dmg reduction along with tortoise gem %. Can someone just show me how to calculate the damage in a short mathematical equation showing attack, defense, reborn bonus, blessed pct and tortoise pct? Thanks in advance, it seems that not many people fully understand the way this works (me included) so I think it would help out a lot of people if they knew.

EDIT: Is the reborn 30% defense calculated in the beginning off the initial attack? or at the end to the damage dealt?

bump... please someone help with physical damage calculation.

1/ the equation aint short
2/ conqueronline.com official forum will give you the best answer

I have tried there, the people there dont know either.

Player attack - player defense = damage dealt.
If target has any blessed items, add the total of blessed item percentages together, make that into a decimal, mulitply it by the damage dealt, and subtract that from the damage dealt. This goes the same for any tortuise gems in sockets.
I'm pretty sure reborn doesnt help in killing people, except with the guard and the stat point distribution.

i was talking about the 30% damage reduction from being reborn. where does that come into play in the equation? Does it come right off the initial attack? or at the end?
