all you guys that agree with worrywart need some serious mental counseling

think about what your saying,

if you have no dam reduction, amplify will deal DOUBLE the damage

if you have 50% dam reduction, like a stormshield+dungos, amplify will deal TRIPLE the damage??
........

did i summarize that about right?? is that what YOU and your buddies are claiming??

Ready for me to blow your mind? I'll keep the numbers small for you.

10 damage attack:

target has zero DR, not amp'd = 10 dmg taken
target has zero DR, amp'd = 20 dmg taken (amp causes double the dmg)

target has 50 dr, not amp'd = 5 dmg taken
target has 50 dr, amp'd = 15 dmg taken (amp causes triple the dmg) (50% dr still prevents 5 dmg)


isn't math fun kids?

haha if you want to use words, then you need to find out what words mean


you cant say amp does 'triple' the damage with 50% dr, if you say amp does 'double' the damage with no dr

thats the whole point of damage REDUCTION, it REDUCES the the damage you take, thats the whole point of it


so TRIPLE is MOAR than DOUBLE

go to wendys and buy a double cheeseburger and a triple cheeseburger, and tell me which one has more meat

triple the same input is more than double the same input. when the inputs are not the same, the multipliers do not necessarily have a linear relationship. such as in this case.

when you have 50 dr, amp causes u to take triple the damage, and here's the REALLY important part, that you would have taken if you weren't amp'd but still had 50 dr.

when you have zero dr, amp causes you to take double the damage, and here's the REALLY important part, that you would have taken if you weren't amp'd but still had zero dr.

you're comparing dmg taken between zero dr and 50 dr, when you should be comparing damage taken when amp'd and not amp'd.

it's a simple mistake, just admit you were wrong. maybe make an "english isnt my first language" excuse.

you've lost the plot

you cant go around using words like 'double' and 'triple' if your changing the original base damage amount,

in order to use those words then you need to keep the base damage amount the same when referring to it

triple brain damage confirmed

the base damage amount IS the same, the base DR is not the same. you truly are confused. in all the cases i listed 10 dmg was done to the target.

It triples the effective 500 damage you'd take from getting hit with a 1,000 damage attack with 50% DR.
Amp turns it into 1,500. That's effectively 3x damage because you WOULD HAVE ONLY BEEN HIT WITH 500, NOT 1,500.



SO... Triple of 500 is 1,500 and double of 1,000 is 2,000. Seems like double is bigger than triple if you have 50% DR

i think im dealing with middle school no child left behind math flunkies

Just because you can't comprehend basic shit doesn't mean the whole world is retarded m8.
