JoeTang Wrote:Shadow Partner gets multiplied by multipliers is an exact description of what it it is I was stating. I even showed the math for it, and you even quote the skill description stating what it does. Shadow Partner deals damage based on a multiplier of your total damage. Shadow Partner deals 200% damage after these buffs. Therefore, Shadow Partner deals 200% damage of your total damage. It's rather straight forward and someone else in the thread even explained in more detail how it works.The skill description says that it does damage based on a multiplier of your total damage. It never says anything about Shadow Partner being multiplied by multipliers.
And yes, I was wrong about Blast's passive minimum critical damage, I think that's rather obvious at this point.
The meaning of "total damage" is obvious, and one would assume the "multiplier" is simply the 50% damage in the skill table. There are absolutely no lines to read in between that might make someone conclude that it also remultiplies buffs.
You showed math for it, but it was out of context, leading to the entire problem.
My formula also included .5 * 2 * 1.64 * 1.25 which would satisfy the condition that "Shadow Partner gets multiplied by multipliers."
It's illogical that a buff would get counted twice in one attack, so, no, it's not very straight-forward.
In fact, I'd imagine that it either took a bit of testing or directly looking at the .wz files to come to that conclusion.
And if I missed the explanation it was due to not having read the entire thread.
Once again, pointing me in that direction in the first place would have helped far more than your rather poor explanation.
