Damage order

Owner and hit eligibility gates precede damage. Enemy difficulty/rate, status callbacks, backstab and nonplayer stagger bonus precede block. Then pushback/status application, body resistance, player armor/world armor, poison/fire/spirit extraction, direct ApplyDamage, and DOT/status additions. ApplyDamage applies target-side world/player rates before health and stagger.
