Thief %/s (KMS Unlimited and GMS Tempest)
Joe, did you assume Greed's effect on Meso Explosion was additive or multiplicative?
I assume you used additive since that would be the right way to do it but Locked apparently believed it was multiplicative so I just want to make sure you didn't think the same way.

Here is a copy pasta of the proof I already posted on Basil:

My range in this trial is 13586-19408. I didn't take a SS of my range at the time I tried this.
Meso Explosion is 180%, Greed is +60%.
If it's additive Meso Explosion would be 240%.
If it's multiplicative Meso Explosion would be 288%.
The damage range from additive is: 32,606.4-46,579.2 per explosion
The damage range for multiplicative is: 39,127.7-55,895.0 per explosion
I have 36.5% PDR Ignore, 15% from nebulite, 15% from Monster Book and 6.5% from Ambition.
Snails have 10% PDR and after factoring my PDR Ignore it results in: 6.35% Effective PDR.
After considering PDR and rounding the new possible damage ranges are:
Additive: 30,536-43,621
Multiplicative: 36,643-52,346

As you can see in the first picture I was able to hit 31,847 and 33,924 both of which are both fairly below the lowest possible damage if Greed was multiplicative.
In the second picture I was able to hit 34,470 which is again below the lowest possible damage if Greed was multiplicative.
There was no damage done that was below 30,536.
These screenshots also serve as proof that Meso Explosion does in-fact hit critical damage but it doesn't light up red as with normal attacks.
This is obvious from the hit where my Meso Explosion did almost 62k even though that's outside both range zones.
