    Crit bonus damage: 50% multiplicative, and then all other crit bonus damage is "additive", going into the "additive pool". This is what I got from having watched your video breaking down how damage is calculated. So the "Diff" should naturally be higher than 1.5, as long as you have additional "additive" crit bonus damage (which you have from the Essence glyph).

    I'm pretty new to Diablo, only first started playing when it came to gamepass and I've not played a Diablo before this. I don't know the shortest way to explain the question(s) I currently have that puzzle me the most but I will try my best and apologies in advance for a very large comment lol. The thing that has plagued me the most currently is a combination of 2 things. Those being attack power and damage numbers (mainly which is better out of outright "+damage" vs "+damage to close) but in general I'm seeking clarification and this video so far is the only one that helped even remotely. I see the discourse that it's hard to trust what you see in game etc etc, but I'm currently playing Barb and I'm in the 70s level wise, specifically the bash/cleave build and to start my actual line of questioning.....say for example you temper a weapon, and you obviously can get either raw damage added or damage to close and the range for damage to close is much higher, yet damage to close doesn't show my attack power go up or my bash skill numbers when I inspect my character, and raw damage makes both go up. Does that mean damage vs close is useless? Is the game's coding for things just weird and bad that way? Which one is better? Etc, etc...heavily appreciate anyone who took the time to read and/or respond to this and sorry again for wall-o-text

    • @MacroBioBoi
      @MacroBioBoi  2 місяці тому +2

      Attack power is not real and doesn't actually relate to any damage calculation in the game. You can completely ignore it and shouldnt use it to measure if a build is stronger.
      All additive damage is equally valuable, you just need to determine which you can apply the most often and get the highest number of that. If you have 50% chance to crit you basically only get 50% of +crit damage on gear. Etc etc.

      The attack power in the stat sheet is decieving. I believe its an average. I know for sure that every 10 points in your main stat is a x1% multiplicative scaler to your skills. So 100 dex gives you x10 multiplicative damage boost to your skills.

    This is what I learnt on tempering and with a mind to play alts. Ignore class specific skill damage multipliers. Waste of money and usually have up to 5-6 stats to roll on to get that one particular stat you want, so many bricked items. I roll my damage multipliers on Offensive "Natural" there are only 4 possible outcomes, each beneficial to nearly all classes. Two specific to wether you play melee or ranged. These will stack on weapons, gloves and jewellery. They will work on any of your damage output skills. Most of us are playing 2-4 damage skills. They are a little bit less than the class skill specific ones, but are far more versatile.

    • @MacroBioBoi

    hey Mac! First - long time follower and appreciate your breakdowns of information (because Math sucks for me.) Aside from the broad statement of the other guy, can I ask a question about the baseline TLDR he mentioned in the end of the video. From how I understood it, if you have the option in tempering or enchanting, you should go with Crit Damage or Vulnerable Dmg as an option, depending on what your skills aim to do. So Flurry Rogue (going to die on that hill) I'm using Shadow Imbuement and that makes things Vulnerable. I had previously Tempered/Chanted Cutthroat DMG or DMG to Close which I believe I understand is additive. Should I not remove those and just increase the Vulnerable DMG since it's a global multiplier?
    Again the maths and I are not friends, but I was looking for that baseline to know easily what I should ultimately look for. If memory serves, Season 1 and 2 essentially said get a multiplier over the damage on Tuesdays.

    • @MacroBioBoi
      @MacroBioBoi  2 місяці тому +1

      All additive damage is just that, additive. You may have skills or Paragon that modify damage based on how much additive you have, but as a baseline, you should add as much additive damage as possible, that's the easiest for you to apply. If you have 100% uptime on vulnerable and 50% crit chance, vulnerable damage is twice as effective on your build.

  • @Claude-Vanlalhruaia
    @Claude-Vanlalhruaia 2 місяці тому +1

    This is one of the stranger way on how they add/multiplicate critical damage multiplier.
    The base x50% damage is flat damage additive value whose value depends on your base damage (combination of all your damage both additive and multiplicative) which basically means your inherent critical damage multipliiier = base damage x 1.5, easily understandable. There are lotf of games which use inherent critical damage multiplier and usually at 50% but any other additional critical damage multiplier bonus are added directly from 50%, say I have 80% additional critical damage that would means 50+80= 130% critical damage multiplier.
    What I do not understand is when you have additional critical damage multiplier instead of adding that to the base 50%, it is multiplied with 1.5 and then the base 50% is added. For example say I have 80% additional critical damage modifier from other sources, seemingly my total critical damage multiplier should be 50+80 = 130% but instead its (80x1.5)+50= 120+50, = 170%.
    Where did the 1.5 multiplier comes from? Why did they add that extra multiplier? Is it to buff damage? Is the tooltip wrong? I guess only the developer could answer.

  • @Deffine

    Devs said there are only one bucket of additive increased damage. Everything else with X% is a stand alone multiplier if conditions are met. They should improve the descriptions though. A guy i talked with thought X% increased damage while critting was additive with critical damage. Its not. The condition is that you need to crit, but it actually have nothing to with critting. Its a stand alone multiplier that activate if you happen to crit.

  • @MoONSHO7
    @MoONSHO7 2 місяці тому +2

    I was always calculating crit as
    550% Crit Damage
    (BaseDamage + (BaseDamage * (CritDamage - 50)/100))) * 1.5
    (100 + (100 * 5)) * 1.5
    CritDamage could be the additive damage bucket, this example is just for crit only though
    So 100 base damage with 550% crit = 900 Damage
    but kinda makes sense that you naturally get 50% crit, so all the crit damage you get is just additive on top so it turns into:
    (BaseDamage + (BaseDamage * (CritDamage/100))) * 1.5
    (100 + (100*5.5))*1.5 = 925 damage

    • @seanyewest
      @seanyewest 2 місяці тому +2

      You made this shit way too complicated brother.
      Say 100 base damage. Normal hit = 100 damage.
      Base crit damage (as in 0 added crit damage from gear 0 paragon) = a 50% damage boost. This means the default effect of a critical strike is 150% damage.
      100 base damage with no crit = 100 * 150% = 100 * (150/100) = 150 damage.
      If you had 550% ADDED crit damage, your TOTAL crit damage would be 550 (added amount) + 50(base "default" amount) = 600%. So your damage would be:
      100 * 600% = 100* (600/100) = 600.

    So if they're global multipliers does that mean I should not try to e.g. raise my crit dmg from 500 to 550 but rather increase my vulnerable dmg from 0 to 50 assuming all enemies are vulnerable? So generally do not put all your eggs in one basket?

    Can you break it down to stupid terms for me. Lets pretend i have 100% crit chance and i am always close.
    If i had to choose between identical rolls of lets say 100% crit damage, close damage or just damage, so on so forth for any other conditional damage. The output would be the same as long as the condition is met? Other than bugs, of course.
    Reason I ask is because it's difficult for me to figure out in the game, and i see things like heavy-handed passive on barb (15%x crit damage) or grandfather inflate the crit damage on stat sheet. Then you have things like blood rage, inner calm, or any other effect that states it increases damage by 0x inflates your all damage number on stat sheet.
    Are these inflated numbers accurate in that adding 100% additive when i am under the effect of something that is a 30%x does indeed add more than the 100%?
    I hope all that makes sense. I am trying to min max my gear and just really curious about how all the math works. I know the attack power is a bait. Is it just as simple as choose which ever additive roll is the highest as long as i can met that condition or do these multipliers matter when stacking additive damage.
    Thank you in advance.

    • @MacroBioBoi

    Probably too late for you to read a comment but anyway. Sorcs are still seeing weirdness with vuln multipliers like Frigid Fate legendary node and Storm Swell aspect. Both of these indicate a 30%[x] but dummy testing shows they are closer to half that or 15%[x]. Pezradar at Blizzard said the team tested and everything is working as intended but testing shows it clearly is not. Lurkin has been trying to explain to the community but no one has solved what is going on. Do you have any thoughts?

    Simple question. I saw your old video. And wanted to ask in your opinion is it better to pick damage, or crit damage? Crit damage usually has a 2 to 1 stat distribution. So 100 crit damage or 50 damage. Now because the chance to crit must be build up I feel increasing you damage is better. That is my understanding of your video. I have watched both of yours and realize you used crit as having 100 percent up time so I just want to make sure I understand.

    • @MacroBioBoi
      @MacroBioBoi  2 місяці тому +4

      Take your crit chance and multiply it by your crit damage number. If it's bigger than the "Damage" number, it's better to pick crit. If not, it's better to pick "Damage". Ex: 80% chance to crit means you expect to gain 80% of a critical damage bonus. 100 crit damage is worth 80 "Damage".

    The things that really perplexed me in the other video (which I commented) are a lack of testing (everyone can say "oh believe me I've tested this stuff) and the fact that avoiding people from using ONLY Vuln Damage or ONLY Crit Damage on every slot was exactly the reason why Blizzard changed the calculations before S3. Thanks for providing proof

  • @Sumowning

    Your info on the damage calculations made me drop Crit dmg, and opt in for more Vuln damage for my Puncture build.
    But stlll use Crit Chance a source of extra damage, due to the x0.5 global multiplier. It's quite nice.
    I do have a question, so when getting additional sources of Crit Damage multiplier. Such as say the Rogue's Deadly Ambush legendary node which is x0.22 Crit Dmg to enemies affected by trap skills, does this mean a crit would now multiply by (Base x 0.72) would it be (Base x 0.50) x 0.22) Or would it be (Base x 0.50) + (additive Crit DMG x 0.22)?
    I assume it's the first one, that it being the same multiplier means it just stacks that.

    This kinda sheds a light on why sorc (or my sorc anyway) damage doesn't seem to be where it should be. I have 560% crit damage and 430%vulnerable damage with a frozen orb build. Everything in the screen is always vulnerable and with a crit chance of 40% crits are often landed; however, the damage seems extremely low for those numbers.
    From what I gather is, instead of stacking crit and vulnerable to this degree, perhaps it's better to start looking at all damage, damage to close, frozen, distant etc. or even cold damage.

    @bibibibibu1234 2 місяці тому

    I just have two questions if it's not a problem. I'm sure you have answered this already, but please bear with me! Thanks in advance if you have the time to answer.
    1) It seems like all multiplicative ("x") damage is added together and used as a single separate multiplier, is that true? So having 2 50% pieces of multiplicative damage will give me 2x damage, not 2.25? This shouldn't change too much in terms of optimization, as the "multiplicative bucket" (a bit of a contradiction in terms imo) is always relatively small compared to the additive one, so it doesn't really make sense to choose an additive multiplier over a multiplicative one, but this means that getting an aspect that makes your gameplay more comfortable instead of just adding 20% to a bucket that already has, say, 150%, is not that big of a hit.
    2) For critical and vulnerable, they get a 1.5 and 1.2 multiplier, and then the number I see on the character sheet gets decreased by 50% and 20% respectively and added to the additive bucket, this 50% doesn't get added twice, right? (Not really that important, just to be sure.)

    • @MacroBioBoi
      @MacroBioBoi  2 місяці тому

      1. Not at all. They're all new multipliers.
      2. No. You get the respective multiplier and the number at the bottom of the tooltip "Critical strike damage from items and Paragon" gets added to your additive bucket.
