% Attack off Potential and Auras stack additively. Here I have 307 total Matk and +8% Matk on the staff. Constant stat multiplier = (1355x4 + 181) = 5601. Note that for the attack multiplier, the result seems to be truncated, not rounded.
307x1.08 gets truncated to 331.
307x1.18 gets truncated to 362. Had it been multiplicative, the attack value would have been 307x1.08x1.1 = 364.716 (364) which would not check.
Proof that attack buffs basically act the same as attack potions.
Unbuffed
5601 x ((307x1.08)/100) = 18539.31 rounded to 18539, check. 307x1.08 gets truncated to 331.
With Dark Aura
5601 x ((307x(1+0.08+0.1))/100) = 20275.62 rounded to 20276, check. 307x1.18 gets truncated to 362. Had it been multiplicative, the attack value would have been 307x1.08x1.1 = 364.716 (364) which would not check.
With Dark Aura + Meditation (Buff, +20 Matk)
5601 x ((327x1.18)/100) = 21563.85 rounded to 21564, check. Proof that attack buffs basically act the same as attack potions.
