global defense with % increased defense or % more defense is very strange

is it possible that global defense is bug because no defense modifier apply on it

example with skin of the loyal and 1 item that give 40 ES with a total of 135% energy shield

it give a total of 134 and that because the 135% of ES doesn't apply on global defense

because it should otherwise give 188 ES

maybe I did not understand global defense but it may just the way it was intended

now if I use armor I get the same answer but if I activate determination aura global defense is booster

so increased % of defense don't apply but % More Defense do apply

it make me wonder why it say global want is much more less then global because it not affected by your

stat at all but only by item and node that give direct defense

Is it normal or was it a bug never found because no item give a big quantity of global defense until now?

Skin of the Loyal says: “100% increased Global Defences”.
This is an increased modifier, so it is additive with other increased modifiers:

40 ES ⋅ (100% [base] + 135% [inc ES] + 100% [inc defences]) = 134 ES

Vitality says: “You and nearby allies gain (32-51)% more Armour”.
This is a more modifier, so it is multiplicative with other modifiers.

Example with a 100 base armour item and lvl9 Determination:
100 armour ⋅ (100% [base] + 100% [inc defences]) ⋅ (100% [base] + 40% [more armour]) = 280 armour

I have 2 skaeva swords with 3 white sockets that are supposed to increase global defences by 8% each - 24% but no stat gets any increase from this apart from armour.

Global Defences refers to Armour, Evasion and Energy Shield. If your character has the Iron Reflexes keystone and no Energy Shield for example, Armour will be the only affected stat.

Do you have any evasion or ES?
