question about eldritch battery

lets say i have 1000 es, 1000 mana, +100% total mana, and +100% total es, with eldritch battery.

1st: possibility: the es is doubled, then added to mana pool, then the mana pool doubled, resulting in 4k mana

2nd: possibility: the es is doubled and added to the mana AFTER the mana nodes added the mana, resulting in only 3k mana

3rd: possibility: ???


tldr: are max es and max mana nodes additive or multiplicative? thanks for any help!

thanks! this is the best possible scenario, like my #1 idea (i fucked up #2 but doesnt matter anymore)
Except that scenario 1 does not accurately describe what happens (and you flunked the math anyways :P ). As Mark's post describes, ES is multiplied by both Increased ES and Increased Mana. Because they're both Increased-type multipliers, they are additive. Multipliers to your Mana value are entirely separate from your "ES Mana".

You have 1000 Mana, which benefits from 100% Increased Maximum Mana:
1000 * (1 + (100/100)) = 2000 Mana

You have 1000 ES, which benefits from 100% Inc Max ES and 100% Inc Max Mana:
1000 * (1 + (100/100) + (100/100)) = 3000 Mana (Converted from ES)

5k Mana total.

Your scenario 1 would end up with 6k Mana:
1000 * 2 = 2000 ES
1000 + 2000 = 3000 Mana
3000 * 2 = 6k Mana

(Mana * %mana increases) + (ES * (%ES increases + %mana increases))

(1000 * 200%) + (1000 * (200% + 200%) = (1000*2) + (1000*4) = 6k

i didnt mess up in first case noooo, its 6k

you mistyped 1+100/100+100/100, while its actually 1+100/100+1+100/100

If you try to do calculations like that you will end up with faulty results. In PoE all increases are added, so if you have 100% increased mana and 100% increased energy shield its the same that if you had 200% mana or 200% shield

1000(Mana) * 2 (100% mana increase) + 1000(ES) * 3 (100% mana + 100% shield increase) = 5000

2000 + 3000 = 5000
tell that to mark from gg, he wrote it :P see that in the second link in post #2

i was just trying to keep it simple, i took the formula he wrote and exchanged the numbers. i wont waste my time thinking about the math they used, they invented the game :D
It is 5k mana.
Uh yeah, what Mark wrote is the same me an the others wrote on this tread, you are the one who is exchanging the numbers wrong.
to be more precise on where your mistake is: You're adding both totals together, instead of both increases
