What does "bonus damage protection" etc. do?

[:1]

It would be rather relevant to making informed decisions on what gear to equip to know exactly what many of the statistics in the game do, and the exact formulas for how they work.

There are a lot of little stat bonuses like "bonus damage protection" that it would be really helpful to know the precise formulas for. Same goes for anything else that isn't intuitively clear, like how armor works -- particularly, how adding armor (with and without preexisting armor values) to a unit works, precisely how snare works, and so forth.

Not knowing these, most players will probably just opt for the perceived biggest generic bonuses, such as the gear that only adds to health.

If this has already been publicized, I apologize for making an unnecessary query. However, I haven't seen this information anywhere from an official source.

And, generally speaking, knowing the rules of a game has some relevance to playing the game.
