Marauder - Determination armor bonus question - Forum

Is determination's armor bonus treated same as passive ones or is it differently applied? ex) let just say I have 5000 armor(with grace) and 100% increased armor passive so if I activate 20 level determination gem which gives 50% armor bonus 1. 5000+150%(100+50)= total 12500 armor 2. 5000+100%(passive)=10000(base) then aura applies +50%= total 15000 armor which is right?

Hi there. Not sure if this helps answer your question but I just put on a level 5 determination aura and the results are as follows: Armor with grace and passives = 6787 Armor with grace, passives, and level 5 determination (36%) = 9909 I am not good at math or understanding what the number means really. I hope you can figure out the answer to your question with the data I supplied. DISCLAIMER!

I hope you can figure out the answer to your question with the data I supplied. It doesn't help unless we know how much armor % you have without determination. The 36% goes toward the passive armor %. So without that number all the information you provided is not going to help. 6787 * 0.36 = 2443 (rounded) 2443 + 6787 = 9230 != 9909 where is the other 679 armor? At least that's how I suspect it works. That'd make sense. Stay awhile and listen...	Posted by SmallestGriff on May 18, 2013, 4:10:07 PM Quote this Post

Answer 2 is the correct one. Determination is "more" defense, so it's multiplicative, not additive.	Posted by f0xx on May 20, 2013, 6:33:05 AM Quote this Post
