D3 Math Question

question.md

The goal here is to determine if the +Damage from the new Rubies are applied BEFORE or AFTER the '+% Damage' attribute of the weapon are applied.

Scenario #1 does the math and applies the Ruby's +Damage bonus BEFORE the +% Damage attribute, where as Scenario #2 applies the Ruby's +Damage AFTER the +% Damage attribute has already been applied.

Example Weapon

http://d3up.com/i/4463229

• 429.28 - 971.72 Damage
• 1.40 Attacks per Second
• +283-635 Poison Damage
• +38% Damage

Numbers

• Minimum Base Damage = 106
• Maximum Base Damage = 244
• Minimum +Poison Damage = 283
• Maximum +Poison Damage = 635
• Bonus +% Damage = 38% (1.38 of value)

Without the Gem

• Minimum Damage = (106 * 1.38) + 283 = 429.28
• Maximum Damage = (244 * 1.38) + 635 = 971.72

Scenario #1 - Before +% Damage w/ +120 Min/Max Gem

• Minimum Damage = ((106 + 120) * 1.38) + 283 = 594.88
• Maximum Damage = ((244 + 120) * 1.38) + 635 = 1137.32
• New Damage Range = 594.88 - 1137.32
• Actual Gain = +165.6 Min/Max

Scenario #2 - After +% Damage w/ +120 Min/Max Gem

• Minimum Damage = (106 * 1.38) + 120 + 283 = 549.28
• Maximum Damage = (244 * 1.38) + 120 + 635 = 1091.72
• New Damage Range = 594.88 - 1137.32
• Actual Gain = +120 Min/Max
