Basalt Flask + Fortify
Does the flat damage reduction stack additively or multiplicatively with Fortify?

They're entirely different concepts, so they're multiplicative. That's why they use different wording :P Vulnerability and Shock, on the other hand, use the same wording as Fortify. Being Increased/Reduced type modifiers, they're additive.
%PDR is granted by Endurance Charges, Armour, the Soul of Steel passive, and the Chaos Golem. Basalt Flasks are additive with these bonuses. |

It works using the normal mitigation procedures, which means that they stack multiplicatively... Because they are two separate effects:
In this case, the resist step is always calculated before the "reduced" and "less" damage taken steps. So, for instance, say you have the following mitigation:
...And a monster runs up and hits you for a base of 2,000 physical damage. Here's how the calculation goes in order:
[li]Flat reduction is applied ALONGSIDE armour's reduction. So we add the 20% from the Basalt Flask to the 33.33% from armour, giving us 53.33% reduction. If we had other things (like endurance charges, the Soul of Steel passive, or an active Chaos Golem) those would add FURTHER to this.[/li] [li]Once all of the "physical damage reduction" is calculated, NOW it applies it: 53.33% of 2000 is 1066.66, so our physical damage is reduced to 933.33.[/li] [li]NEXT comes our other methods: remember, "increased/decreased" ALWAYS applies BEFORE "more/less." So, naturally, next up comes foritfy: assuming no passives/gems that boost its strength, it's "20% reduced." If we had other increased/reduced effects, we'd sum them up here. But with just that? 20% of 933.33 is 186.66, so damage is cut to 746.66.[/li] [li]Lastly, the "Less" comes: level 20 or 21 Arctic Armour gives "13% LESS physical damage." 13% of 746.66 is 97.06, so damage is cut to 649.6, which is our final number.[/li] (edit: bah, got beaten to the first reply while I was trying to type up an explanation of the calculations. :P) My guides: Summon Homing Missile (SRS) | Act II starter RF | Budget Oro's Flicker Strike Last edited by ACGIFT#1167 on Mar 19, 2016, 2:24:12 PM
