Hello, i dont understand how this works.

Im a WD with hellfire build.

After i use a skill, 4 set bonus gives me 50% damage reduction up to 10s.
My mojo transfer 27% of damage done to me to zombie dogs.

This is like 77% damage reduction

I have 30% non-physical damage reduce from Esoteric Alteration Gem


this + armor + resis...and 900k life.

How possible so much enemies one shot me? Im talking 50+ Grifts
is normal?

If damage reduction worked like that, you would just need to wear unity and use the 50% damage reduction from set, and would be invincible since you have 100%. The damage reduction takes the other damage reduction in to account, so if you have 10% DR, and add another 10%, and take 100 damage, it reduces it to 81 instead of 80, since it's reducing 100 damage by 10%, then reducing 90 damage by 10%.

whaat? i dont understand xD

if i have 50dr from set, a incoming melee attack for 100k ill take 50k damage, right?

and if have 50% dr from armor, i reduce the 50k to 25k.

then items/gems/skills dr... etc?

but what is the priority? is not the same reducing 60% before 50% than 50% before 60%

It is the same.

100 damage by 50% = 50, then by 60% = 20 damage
100 damage by 60% = 40, then by 50% = 20 damage
