What Mark is saying is that the passive increases BOTH take the base value. So if you have 500 evasion, +50% evasion, +50% armour, and Iron Reflexes, it works like this:
500 Evasion + 50% = 250 Increased Evasion
500 Armour through IR + 50% = 250 Increased Armour
500+250+250=1000 Armour
Or in short, 50%+50%=100% Increased

This as opposed to 750 Armour through IR + 50% = 375 Increased Armour, or, 50%*50%=125% Increased.

Which means that raic's example of +100% physical damage and +50% fire damage for 50% converted would give 100%+(50% of 50%)=125% increased damage, if I'm not mistaken.


Following raic000 exemple, his calcul is :

base damage *(1+ increased physical damage) * conversion * (1+ increased elemental damage)

my calcul is :

base damage *(1+ increased physical damage + increased elemental damage) * conversion

A dev answer could be the better solution.

When using Dual strike, which critical hit ratio applies to it? The main hand or the off-hand (my guess is on the main hand)?

Thanks in advance~

I'm not the greatest mathematician, but the end result should have additive increases, not multiplicative increases. So yes, your calc should be correct.

There was a post of Mark about this in Dual Strike or Cleave. Each weapon uses his own critical chance but only one roll is made.
Weapon 1 : 10%CS
Weapon 2 : 5%CS
If you roll 5 or less, both hits a crit
between 5,1 and 10 only weapon 1 hits a crit
10,1 and more no crit
If you hit a critical strike with only one weapon, effects "on critical hit" can proc from other weapon as weel.

edit : it's in Dual Strike thread in skill feedback on page 2.

while i'm not a dev, i'm extremely certain it is raic's equation. elemental boost doesn't apply till the elemental comes into the equasion AFTER the convert. the "example" sentence odin said, is "correct" for the total damage increase that happened overall.
It seems I was a bit tricked by inherent fire damage on a piece of equipment. I did some calculating on a clean char and it seems that fire damage bonus on the fire portion of Infernal Blow stacks additively with physical damage bonuses after all. So a character which has +50& weapon damage bonus and +30% fire damage bonus would have 50% more bonus damage on physical half and 80% more bonus dmg on fire half of IB, in addition to other bonuses except those on the weapon itself, those do multiply.

Sorry about the error.
Respect your passive skills and they shall respect you in turn.

If it applies after conversion, you get multiplicative effects. If it applies simultaneous to the conversion, you get additive effects.

No problem, i thought the same thing at first try. It's weird when you look at it the first time, but it limits OP effects.
After little playing I understand how shield, armor end evasion works (not so hard) but I have serious problems to compare them.

If I have item with energy shield 20 and other one with armor 50, I really don't know how to compare them. Yes, I can compare them trough my experience but is there some place where I can see those mechanics so I could compare them way better?

And I also would like to know what are those "spheres" around enemies? I have seen green ones (maybe others too). Where could I look what those mean?
