With 50% damage reduction, taking three times the damage: 15 x 3 = 45

With 0% damage reduction, taking double the damage: 30 x 2 = 60


Quote (triunes @ Nov 28 2017 08:55pm)
so with damage REDUCTION you end up taking MORE damage??


i think you might be confusing the word MORE with the word LESS
indeed, 45 is not MORE than 60. It is LESS than 60.
MORE and LESS are very complex notions but I trust that, if you try your best, you can understand the difference.

why do you think he's serious?
nobody is actually stupid enough to think 60 is less than 45.

im trying to illustrate to YOU and these other dingbats..


that you are BACKWARDS in your conclusions, youre saying up is down, and left is right,

if you somehow in your 'calculations' end up saying that your do 'triple' the damage with 50% damage reduction on.. then you need to go back to the drawing board buddy...

I did the basic math for you. Your inability to grasp that sometimes triple the amount of one thing can still be less than double the amount of another thing isn’t anyone’s problem but your own.

I have 1 apple. I triple that amount. Now I have 3 apples.
I have 2 apples. I double that amount. Now I have 4 apples.

Are you a native English speaker?

your so basic and void of any intelligence, its not a good thing you are procreating

i exposed the incorrect conclusion you and your ilk got to, lol, it was exposed in my first post, but i explained it further how you are not correct in what your say,


you can ignore everythign that been said and just continue your denial, but smart ppl out here know you guys are a bunch of fools, your intellect has been lapped so many times, it looks like someone like me is coming up behind you, but youre still in first gear monkey!

congratulation borat you are a ironic glasses wearing commie-tard, your soo funny


now you think the baby in my sig/ava is my child? you really are having a tough time...

I wasn't trying to trick anyone

I just stated that amp lowers dr by 100, it doesn't just make you take double damage the way the old battlechest manual stated


indeed, still it has the ring of a middle school brain teaser problem. and middle school brain'd idiots are falling for it.
