No you're basing your calculations on a starting value of 0% physical resistance, this isn't the case in Worrywart's first example, you conveniently left that out to manipulate the math

If you get hit with 100 damage then 50% DR reduces this to 50, if you have -50% DR the damage taken will be 150, as you can see Amplify Damage on a target with 50% physical resistance triples damage


and where tripple dmg here?.. base dmg was 100.. you taken 150 with -50%..

tripple dmg it is 100 x3 = 300. but it is not exist, cause any res capped -100%. (so max you take double dmg)

You are hit with an attack that deals 1000 damage
You have 50% dr
You take 500 damage.

You are hit with an attack that deals 1000 damage.
You have 50% dr and are amped.
You take 1500 damage. Amp tripled the damage you took.

You are hit with an attack that deals 1000 damage.
You have 0% dr and are amped.
You take 2000 damage. Amp doubled the damage you took.

You are ahrimond. You have 0% dr.
You get hit with an explanation.
You sit in your Icy Cellar and intentionally make incorrect statements in an attempt to make other people on the internet think you are a foolish person.
I do not see how this masterful plan benefits you.

Dr reduces the damage you take. If you want to take less damage, dr does that.

its only worth it if you want to take less total damage, not less of a % damage.

an interesting thing is that all ppl in this topic are right :wacko:

minor misunderstanding came due to translation troubles...

100 and 150... so its *1.5 multiplier as arhi told (he means hit power of monsters, not actual dmg)


I'm pretty sure everybody here understand what he means.
Well, except himself, cuz if he did understood that he was comparing 0%dr + no_amp to 50%dr + amp, he would have thought: "hey that makes no sense" and he wouldn't have posted
