Does anyone know if the 4% evasion from Frenzy charges in the passive tree stacks additively or multiplicatively with your total evasion?

"Some numbers: Adding 612 flat evasion to my character (Grace) and then having multiple Frenzy charges gave the following: (Frenzy Charges / Evasion without grace / Evasion with Grace) (0 / 2066 / 3455) (2 / 2139 / 3577) (4 / 2211 / 3698) The difference between having grace or not, and the bonus multiplier applied each time is: (0 / 1389 / +127%) (2 / 1438 / +135%) (4 / 1487 / +143%) So it would appear the +4% is additive to your bonus evasion % from other passives. I hope that answers your question, or at least gives the data you need. EDIT: Does anyone know how negative elemental resistances work? If a monster has 10% resist, and I use elemental weakness (reduces by 30%, for example), do they have 0% resistance, -20%, or something in between? And if they have -20%, does that mean they take 20% more damage from that element than usual? Last edited by Softspoken on Apr 27, 2012, 10:28:06 PM

About crafting rares.
You can get up to 6 affix when exalting a rare. Does a 6 affix rare always have 3 prefix / 3 sufix? Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.

"When cursing with elemental weakness, if it brings a monster's resistance to a negative number, it in fact takes that much more damage % from that/those element(s). Last edited by Millertyme on May 2, 2012, 12:39:52 PM

" Yes. On a different matter, when a new item is created or when an orb is used to change the mods on an item, are the mods selected with equal weight from all available level-specific mods? Or are certain mods harder to get than others? |

I can't find it in this thread, but I noticed that unique mobs sometimes drop higher level items. These items will have an item level of 2 higher than usual, and sometimes even be a base item that is higher level. For example, you can find a level 22 item in a level 20 dungeon.
Also, spell damage calculations are a bit ambiguous. The way they are described in the thread, it seems like the spell damage multiplier for cold damage spell is (1 + spell damage % + elemental damage % + cold damage %). However, I heard that it's actually (1 + spell damage %) * (1 + elemental damage % + cold damage %). I mean, I heard that elemental and spell damage stack multiplicatively with each other, rather than additively. Both of those theories could be wrong, though. Also, passive and item spell/elemental damage bonuses stack additively, correct? | |
" Magic mobs drop itemlevel = maplevel + 1, rare/unique mobs drop maplevel + 2. That is always the case. About spell damage, they stack addictively Unviable build tester.
