wasnt quality always added and not multiplied?

This was only the case with weapons - for some reason, quality with armour worked differently than with weapons.
To prove my point, let's take the Shavronne's Wrappings posted a bit before, by PaladinSMD.

Occultist's Vestment: 140 Base ES, Shavronne's has a 245% ES modifier.
Before: 140 * (1+2,45) * 1,2 = 579,6, which corresponds with the user telling us that it was around 580.
Now: 140* (1+2,45+0,2) = 511.

Which chest was it? Where in your stash is it/which character is it on currently? How much ES did it have before?

EDIT: Thanks for all the examples checking everything out now

Rory's edit

that sucked balls. just spent 300ex on legacy shavs to see it nerfed this way hurts my eyes big time. /cry - ill jo go to the corner and QQ Moar and lick my wounds in privacy of the dark.

Used to have 586 ES, now it has 510. I am wearing it on my lvl 100 Scion in standard league

Everything got nerfed. I hope this is a bug. This chest was 28xx EVA

:s

This comes from how quality is now calculated on armor. It is no longer multiplaicative (more) but additive (increased). This affects all armor types and seems like an intended change in mechanics to bring armor pieces in line with weapons.

Yup all my gear, both rares and uniques (Shavs) just got hit with what looks like a ~10% ES nerf.

Lame. Hope it's a bug.
