Hit Area Proc Base Damage

[Val-Tur]

I cannot find where it states how much the base damage the hit area spells (hit fire area, etc) is. Is there such a resource, or is this all by testing?

Hit area does 50% of the weapons initial damage to all near-by targets, then reduced by each targets individual resistance to the area damage type.

example hit fire area

Target 1 takes 100 weapon damage (initial weapon hit - hit area doesn't hit this target)
Target 2 takes 50 area damage (0% fire resistance)
Target 3 takes 15 area damage (70% fire resistance)
