this doesn't appear to have been said explicitly: does the character's direction affect blocking? ie. if my character is not facing an enemy does this reduce block chance?

I'm working on a dmg calculator for PoE and its working great so far (only for attacks, formulars for spells are not implemented yet), I just don't know how exactly are some values rounding.

- I assume that the Buff Effect from Inner Force is always rounding down, because with +3% max res Purity it is 3 * 1.3 = 3.9 = 3 and with 4% its 4 * 1.3 = 5.2 = 5, is that correct?

- Let's say you want to convert 50% physical dmg to cold dmg and you deal 101 dmg per attack, does it calculate in 50 physical dmg + 51 cold dmg or 51 physical dmg + 50 cold dmg or is it 50.5 each?

- If its 50.5 each and you further convert the cold to fire, it would be 50.5 physical + 25.25 cold + 25.25 fire. Lets say you dont have any further increased damage to calculate in, will the display now show 51 physical 25 cold 25 fire? Or does it always round down/up?

So many questions....

Thanks in advance

Hi! Just spent 1 hour searching everywhere but this question doesnt seem to have been asked.. What's the order of addition for defensive passives? Will armour passives include evasion, which is the "potential armour" into calculations when Iron Reflexes has been learnt?

To illustrate:
Iron Reflexes converts all evasion to armour.
Steel Skin increases armour by 30%.
Leather and Steel increases both evasion and armour by 24%.

Let's say I have 1000 evasion and 0 armour.
Case 1:
With Iron Reflexes and Steel Skin, will I get 1000 armour or 1300 armour?
Case 2:
With Iron Reflexes and Leather and Steel, will I get 1240 armour(only the evasion part), 1480 armour, or maybe even(not really possible but..) 1537.6 armour?

This looks really helpful. I was going to make something similar in excel for my own use, but stealing someone elses work is definately more efficient :P I'd love to see the finished product......Be even better if I could see your work somehow in the application, or seperately.
