Question about Void Manipulation reduced ele damage
|
This is probably an obvious question, but how does Void Manipulation's reduced ele damage modifier work? Let's say I have the Trickery node which gives 20% increased ele damage. Will my net ele damage be -5%?

Yep. "Increased" and "reduced" modifiers stack additively with each other, as opposed to "more" and "less" modifiers which are multiplicative with everything.
Have you done something awesome with [url=http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Sire_of_Shards]Sire of Shards[/url]? PM me and tell me all about it!

In other words, that reduced elemental damage may as well not exist, since its impact in DPS is irrelevant. GGG balance at its finest.

" If you have 500% increased elemental damage already, 25% decreased is the same as 4% less. Face it, all of your suggestions are worse than this idea:

" By far not relevant enough for ppl using chaos conversion. Just like how controlled destruction was "supposed" to help non crit spellcasters, but ended up being a straight buff for crit spellcasters too, if not even better than to non-crit ones. If Void manipulation had less elemental damage then you could maintain its supposed balance function. |

it probably needs some time
It took ages for GGG to change Conc effect penalty from "reduced" to "less". It's nice precedent and hopefully a question of time when Controlled dest and similar support penalties become the real penalties IGN: Eric_Lindros

I don't know, seeing GGG trip over the same issues time and time again doesn't give me too much hope.
