Damage reduction Does not Take Into Account Decimals.


Recommended Posts

I was working on a quick short video testing to see who can tank a stack of gunpowder.
I was doing some math and calculations.  To figure out tanking and such and was messing with damage reduction.
I remember reading in a post long ago when warly came out that the garlic spice plus wigfrid would provide a 58% damage Because the two would be additive.
That is sadly not correct D:  If it was wigfrid could survive a stack of gunpowder with 42 hp.
So I thought ,aybe its multiplicative.  Doing the math on it would look like this

8000x.05(marble armor) x .75(wigfrid) x.66(garlic)
This will come down to 198 damage taken. leaving 2 hp for wigfrid to live off the fire damage. Which she can do so with her fire proof song.

However instead. Wigfrid with garlic spice takes a flat 200 damage from the stack of gunpowder

Killing her.
So that does mean the damage reduction of warly's garlic plus wigfrid is multiplicative
but the .5% extra damage reduction from it is not accounted for leaving the combo to just a 50% reduction

I am sad because math has failed me D:

does the garlic spice do a precise 33% or 33.33333333%?

if it does the latter then yes, the gunpowder would do exactly 200 damage
8000*0.05=400
400*0.75=300
300*(2/3)=200

so wigfrid + garlic + marble armor has 97.5% reduction (and u can get 97.75% with void/brightshade alliance protection) ^-^

i know it does take decimals into account from experience with healthbar mods

btw i love ur videos dvg, looking forward to your next one <3

Thanks :D I just put it in the calculator as the same thing its strange cause for some reason mine still gives me the extra .5 %
I see what I did wrong now. 
I put in .66 instead of (2/3) 2/3 is less protection than .66 Because one is 34% while the other is 33.33%
I just did bad numbers D:
It does however prove that the numbers are not additive. :D
