"% damage reduced stacks how?"
 
   LAST EDITED ON 06-07-01 AT 01:24 PM (PDT)

Let's say you have two items that reduce physical damage by 10%.

Which is correct:

A)


  • 10% + 10% = 20%
  • so if you take 100 points of damage...
  • 100 * 80% = 80 damage

or

B)


  • 10% reduced and then 10% reduced again
  • so if you take 100 points of damage...
  • first 100 * 90% = 90 damage
  • second 90 * 90% = 81 damage

I would imagine the second since there are enough (albeit quite rare) uniques with % physical damage reduced that you could reduce over 100% of physical damage if they were simply added.

Anyone know the exact formulae?
