All skills do either external (physical) or internal (elemental) damage.
External damage ignores internal (elemental) defense, but can be reduced by external defense (1000 external defense = 10% damage reduction);
gear and treasures can have enchantment to ignore certain amount of enemy external defense.
Internal damage ignores external defense, but can be reduced by internal (elemental) defense (100 internal defense = 10% damage reduction);
Each internal damage element is reduced by both general internal defense (from active Internal Skill) and specific element resistance (from related meridian and treasures).
Certain meridians give attribute to ignore all elements resistances.
Damage elements are following:
internal damage - yang, hard, yin, soft;
external damage - external.
When you hover mouse over the skill - tooltip description will say something like: "does 56 points of hard damage (2 strikes, 29 points each)" - that's where you can check what type of damage skill does (external or internal);
If skill does not have damage numbers in tooltip - character attributes 'external accuracy' and 'internal accuracy' keeps the name of the last NPC hit by the external/internal type damage - just attack a different NPC and check it.
Damage over Time (DoT) never misses, never crits and cannot be blocked, but is reduced by either external or internal defense.

Dash skills lock the target unable to move or act during skill animation; pull, throw, knockdown and knockair skills will lock the target unable to move or act during effect duration; all these skills will interrupt the current target action/skill, unless it has a yellow buff which grants immunity to them.
