Damage Calculation for Voltaxic Rift
|
Hey guys, I am trying to make a Voltaxic Rift build but am unsure about the damage calculation.
Starting situation: Voltaxic Wrath Added Lightning Flat Lightning from gear Weapon Elemental Damage Lightning damage nodes Elemental damage nodes Projectile damage nodes Chaos damage nodes My question is whether I am right with my formula: (Voltaxic (lightning portion) + Wrath + Added Lightning + Flat Lightning) * (Lightning + Elemental + Projectile nodes) * WED * Chaos nodes + Voltaxic (physical portion) * Projectile nodes I am not sure where to put the Projectile damage nodes. Is the following right when I add Added Chaos? [(Voltaxic + Wrath + Added Lightning + Flat Lightning)*(Lightning + Elemental + Projectile nodes) * WED + Added Chaos * Projectile nodes] * Chaos nodes + Voltaxic (physical portion) * Projectile nodes Thanks in advance.

Conversion occurs before Damage modifiers are applied.
Converted Damage benefits from modifiers to the source-type. All Increased and Reduced type modifiers are additive. Convert all Lightning to Chaos, apply modifiers as per usual. The Damage from Added Chaos will be calculated separately, because it benefits from a different set of Damage multipliers; Increased Chaos/Proj, but not Lightning/Elemental.

Thank you very much for your reply. I understand most of it now, the only thing I can not wrap my head around is how WED and the Increased Chaos Damage nodes are interacting with each other now. I apply all the modifiers I have including Chaos Damage and after that multiply it with WED? That would mean it also scales the Increased Chaos Damage nodes.

See, that's the curious thing about Damage multipliers, they are all ultimately the same modifier: Damage. The specifier 'Weapon Elemental' does not determine what Damage types it applies to, it determines what Damage packet it applies to. The Support simply grants a More Damage multiplier, which applies to all Damage dealt, as long as that Damage is tagged with both 'Weapon' and 'Elemental'. Whether it actually is Elemental Damage is not relevant.
So yes, the WED Support will multiply the effect of Increased Chaos Damage. Last edited by Vipermagi#0984 on Jul 25, 2015, 8:33:12 AM
