can some one explain additive and multiplicative
How it works. IE, percent stuff, Is 10percent + 50percent = 60percent times 1.2, or is it (base x .1)x 1.5, or is it (base x 0.1)+(base x 0.5) = Y, Y+base? Soda confusing.

Ignore Monster Defense and Boss Damage are additive or multiplicative atm? I know they were going to change to multiplicative, but I don't know if they already did that.
ah i see, but now i guess the only thing remains is understanding what is additive and what is multiplicative
[quote=Necromades]For instance:
30% PDR from Source 1, 15% PDR from Source 2 and 40% PDR from Source 3.
Additive:
30 + 15 + 40 = 85%.
Multiplicative:
You take the number in which the number you are using when added with equal 1. e.g 30% -> 0.7 as 0.3 + 0.7 = 1; 15% -> 0.85 as 0.15 + 0.85 = 1 etc.
0.7 x 0.85 x 0.6 = 0.357.
Now take the difference between this number and 1 -> 1 - 0.357 = 0.643 which converts to 64.3% PDR.[/quote]
Thank you, you just cleared it up for me nicely.
um I didn't read your post so bear with me
let's say you have a skill that does 200% damage
at 60%
multiplicative = 60%*200% = 0.60*2.00 = 3.20 = 320%
additive = 60%+200% = 0.60+2.00 = 2.60 = 260%
