added fire dmg question

Say you had 10% phys dmg bonus and 10% fire dmg bonus. If you added fire dmg, would that fire dmg then get a 20% bonus?

yup.

Not exactly, it's separately calculated. First your physical damage is increased by all modifiers. Based on this your added fire damage is calculated and then it is increased by its modifiers.


That's actually wrong. That would mean the additive damage became multiplicative, and that would be a Bad Thing.

If your attack deals 100 damage, and you have 30% added as fire damage from the gem, and then 10% increased physical damage from passives, and 10% fire as well, then the calc looks like this, iirc.

first, it calcs how much fire damage it will do, from the BASE amount of physical.
100 * .3 = 30 fire damage

The 100 damage is then increased by the 10% phys nodes.
100 * 1.1 = 110

The 30 fire damage is then increased by the 10% phys node, and the 10% fire node(the game 'remembers' that this damage came from a physical source, and to apply phys modifiers to it.) Note that I used the word 'increased', which means the values are added together before being multiplied.
30 * 1.2 = 36

The damage is then added together.
110 + 36 = 146

This prevents that sort of 'double dipping' effect
