i dun heard some rooooomurs....
fuck i think the joke would be moooomurs... owell.
do the boots do what i was told or is my chain being yanked...
this is obv for bowa btw...
Cow king boots have fire damage on them, as such they can be subject to the MDR spillover damage bug which results in lower pvp damage, something impactful in lld. Since it's relatively minor the trade off of huge dex (for the level) and frw, they are still quite often (arguably Bis) for some builds at certain character levels.

ill break it down into parts so you can see each individual equation and the result
physical damage = 1000
1000 x .17 = 170
170 damage is the amount of damage that would go through to the opponent if there were no other sources of resistance such as physical damage reduce (DR or PDR) or resists (percentage damage reduce, i.e. stormshield, string of ears, etc...)
in the event of cowkings boots, dual stones of jordan, and a small charm with 1-2 cold damage on the attacker, and string of ears plus skin of the vipermagi on the opponent being struck (totaling 28 mdr, 15% physical damage resistance), this is the damage that would result in the scenario where the attacker hits with 24 lightning damage, 35 fire damage, and 2 cold damage.
[(listed ele dmg * 0.17) - mdr given] = mdr converted into pdr
lightning damage = 24
[(24 x .17) - 28] = -23
fire damage = 35
[(35 x .17) - 28] = -22
cold damage = 2
[(2 x .17) - 28] = -27
those 3 sources of elemental damage total up to 72 elemental damage overkill on your MDR, which then gets converted to PDR ( <- this is the bug) which takes away from your original total of 170 physical damage
170 - 72 = 98
then at this point we would factor in physical damage resistance from string of ears
98 - 15% = 83
end damage taken = 83
had there been zero sources of elemental damage, the opponent would have taken 144 damage. that is around a 40% damage loss
/e: i didnt factor resists into this at all, they were all assumed to be at zero resist for each element. at 75 resist, the damage loss would be even greater
