Formula

I wondered how +X and +Y% works combined, so I did some testing. Checked only on one spell (Firestorm), but I assume formula is common for all spells:

Total damage of spell = round(1.Y*damage of spell)+X

• Y is sum of +% spell damage
• X is sum of + spell damage

I think it's worth putting on page, but I will leave wording for someone better at it =P --Shikao 08:24, 2 January 2011 (PST)

Caps and bonus

Page states:

• Note that damage caps apply. That is, if a spell has a damage cap, spell damage modifiers cannot give more damage than the cap.

I haven't check spells and bonuses particularly for this, but I don't think it's true. I will investigate it on nearest occasion, but in meantime could some tell me what is source of this statement?--Shikao 08:54, 4 January 2011 (PST)

The source is a discussion with Ryme on chat. I must admit I never checked it. Do you have contradictory data? --Muhandes 01:45, 5 January 2011 (PST)

Right now I can say that +%spell damage can definitely raise damage over caps. But as I said, I will check it more thoroughly. When did this discussion happen? Before or after introduction of skill points? --Shikao 02:14, 5 January 2011 (PST)
