i said NO , it's not the way you are supposed to calculate .


Man.. you literally just said an aura is applied first.

but nevermind. I'm just gonna go with what Gekko said since his actually makes sense.

man is it so hard to do that fuckin math?

25% dr aura applied first -> monstears deal 75% of initial damage .

you got 50% dr from gear (caped with or without bear stance since bear stance is not an aura , it's still 50) .

now you reduce the total incoming damage with 25% , and the REMAINING incoming damage by 50% . and that is calculated as 25% + 37,5% (half oh the 75% remaining incoming damage) =62.5% dr

Actually no. I took the ice ele aura (25% dr) first because your direct words said aura is applied first, then I added bear stance. and to my knowledge, that's two different sources of DR.

Also. I don't play on SP, so the character sheet doesnt have PlugY pages to show DR. so thank you. chill the fuck out man. Not everyone understands the mechanics of the game as deeply as you do.

Plus.. the ice ele thing is hypothetical because their aura doesnt work as an oskill from that weapon. so it really doesn't matter.

dr% cap for damage reduction is 50% from skills/items/auras/buffs. dr% cap for cb% reduction is 100%, at which point you'll be immune to cb. that's it.

now, the only way to further reduce damage is by flat damage reduction from skills/items/auras/buffs, or by auras/debuffs that reduce the damage of the monster attacking you, which iirc void archon does. if you combine the incoming dr% on you, and reduce the output damage dealt from monsters, you'll effectivly have even less damage dealt to you.

edit: ups didnt' see there's a whole other page after that post. XD

i hope the last calculation is clear enough in order to see how you can gain more than 50%dr . It's as clear as i can explain .

The point remains . yes , you can reduce more than 50% from the incoming damage . that's what the inital question was about .

It's just the way you keep talking about DR AURA that causes confusion. In future use full words, damage reduction and enemy damage reduced are two completely different things.

i'm sorry if there were any confusions , it was all clear in my head. i was just annoyed because this was allready explained several times before and it is forgotten every 2 or 3 months and has to be re-explained . maby this can be included in the docs for people to read about .

I don't think that dr% auras that give you item dr% are applied first, and only then dr% from items. they should be added together, and then applied, as far as I know. too bad my d2 crashes right now and I can't check.

There has already been conclusion, so be quiet and don't add more confusion. :)
