How to calculate the real damge?

[yxx]

I mean the real life removed from a monster or other players? physical damage and elemental damge.

EDIT: I found this chart from blizzard site. I guess I know how to calculate elemental damage. But how to calculate physical damage?

Is there anything called physical resistance? or Absorb?

full damage / %resistance / %Absorb / heal amount / damage taken

The complete list of all damage modifications are calculated in this order:

there is no physical adsorb AFAIK, but (physical) damage reduced by x% works like "physical resistance".

The most excruciatingly detailed guide to calculating Diablo II weapon damage I have ever found:

... along with his accompanying, and equally-excruciating, detailed guide to calculating how inflicted damage will be modified by reductions/resistances/absorptions/etc.:

I do not know if either of these articles are still up-to-date as of version 1.11, but I can't imagine that Blizzard has changed the formulas much.
