Determination and inc aura effect

How does it work? is it 0.5 times (inc aura effect) or 1.5 times (inc aura effect) if determination is 50% more?
Determination is 'more' so it's a multiplier. The 'increases' get added together and then all multiplied by the 'more'. So, if it's 50% more Armor from Determination, you'd multiply by 1.5.

you're sure about this? if so it would be great news
Increased aura effect will increase the bonus determination gives you. So, if your determination adds 50% armor and you get 10% inc aura effect it will be a 55% bonus.

see heres two different statements, ill guess ill have to test ingame
So after testing it, it seems that its 0.5 times the increased effect + 1, if its 50% more.

Kinda sad, I was hoping that it was 1.5 times the inc effect. Considering the amount you have to put in to get those inc effect and how determination is second rate compared to grace.
Everywhere else in the game, 'more' is a multiplier and 'increased' is an adder. I can't imagine it wouldn't hold true in this case.

What specific numbers did you test with? I didn't really follow what you did with your math. For 50% more from Determination, it would indeed be a 1.5 times multiplier, which seems to be what you said happened.

i tested with my own armor, using a 47% determination gem:

Before armor 1810

after armor 2932

2932/1810 ~ 1.62 (162% percent more)

I had 34% increased effects on my buff:

1.47 * 1.34 = 1.9698 =/= 1.62

1 + (0.47 * 1.34) ~~ 1.63

1.63 is closer to 1.62 (I'm guessing some armor value is being rounded)

so based on this test it's clear that the equation for determination with increased aura effect is [ 1 + (determinations value * increased aura effect) = end value ] instead of [ (1+determinations value) * increased aura effect = end value ]

This is just my own testing ofc and I might have done something wrong so you guys are free to check it yourself. I was hoping to offset the less from Acrobatics with determination and inc aura effect but the cost is way to high atm to do it in an efficient way.
