how do damage multipliers work?

[Zen]

Hum. My AQ's usually get equipped with:

Jade Armor, Blood Thorn (Herald Lance), Lucky Amulet, Starshine Skullcap, Ring of Regen, Ring of Frost

OR

Jade Armor, Hell Sword, Fire Helmet, AMA, Ring of Frost

If it is in some sort of SC capacity this is usually a good plan unless you are planning on not fighting anyone who can utilize mages.

I never equip my Air Queens with a Staff of Storms because the Storm is persistant even if you leave, so I tend to have a Scout hold the Staff then retreat first round.
