This build is also tanky at end game you run, 24-26 Arctic Armor for 16% phys mit + 4 endurance charge for 32% total physical mitigation.

This is completely wrong. No idea how GGG let this slip by and put this guide put on the front page, but if you don't understand the difference between multiplicative and additive multipliers then I really don't care how much 420yoloswag dps you have. You're spreading misinformation, and even worse GGG has featured you which is only further exposing this misinformation to the community as truth. The rest of the guide could be immaculate, it doesn't matter. This was no typo or oversight, you simply didn't do your homework, and now many newer players are going to be misled because of it.

yeah. For all the people interested in understanding the mechanics, well, I'd recommend going to the wiki. But as a TL,DR, arctic armour simply modifies whatever damage you would take AFTER everything has been mitigated and multiplies it by , in this case, 0.84.

So, since you have 0 armor, 4 endurance charges, a 1000 damage phys hit would get mitigated by your armor (which is 0), then mitigated by your endurance charges (and not armor + end charges at once, they're calculated differently).

So it's now 1000 * 0.84 (16% mitigation) = 840

And then the result is multiplied by your AA multiplier.
840 * 0.84 = 705.6 damage, which is 29.44% effective damage reduction.


shock/abyssus/vulnerability then stack ADDITIVELY with each other and multiply the final value by the resulting multiplier, if you wanted to know.

Is this jewel good enough to spend 2 points to get (one for +10 dex and one for the jewel)?
