are charges additive or multiplicative?

if I have holy charge (152%) and lightning charge (140%) am I dealing (1 + 0.52 + 0.4) = 192% or (1.52 * 1.4) = 212.8% damage?

I ask this because I have an excel sheet that predicts my damage and it's overestimating my damage by about 10% using the second way (multiplicative)
I have 100% pdr using blast so that is not the issue

@ihavefood : lightning charge is 140%, or are you saying lightning's effect is diminished for some reason?
when I say overestimating it means I need to multiply the damage by 0.9 to get around my actual damage

edit: never mind, the lightning effect is actually halved and it is additive. closing thread, thanks.

I'm pretty sure it's additive. So you dual charge, light charge is 20% and holy charge is 52% dmg. Gives you a whopping 72% extra dmg.

i believe the secondary charge would be 1.2x, not 1.4. so... 1*1.52*1.2 = 182%. might be wrong though, i'm really confused over the charges too.

overestimating your damage by 10% = you are currently doing 200%?
