what exactly is additive and what is multiplicative? did something change in sigma in that regard?
regarding synergy from energy/EF, Witchblood and Spell damage% od one particular type, nothing has changed in Sigma.
You can read this or go with:
Spell Damage is one multiplier and Synergy Bonus from EF/ene and Witchblood Bonus are added up to another separate multiplier.
Note about witchblood is different from spell damage is wrong (same goes to Bacchanalia). I just tested/calculated it all manually and damage bonus from witchblood is just the same as any other spell damage from item while EF/NRG damage bonus to skill is multiplicated by spell damage.
I have my "skill X" damage at 2229 without witchblood and at 2717 with one point in it;
Witchblood adding 64% spell damage;
I have 166% own spd from items;
I have 187% damage increase from NRG... calculate further uself
