Temporal Form not giving bonuses as written

#1 Post by Infinitum »

Using a lvl 43 Skeleton Temporal Warden, I noticed Temporal Form added 23% temporal resistance instead of the 30% in the ability description (from 35 -> 58%). Also it only added 20% to my highest damage bonus (physical) as a temporal damage bonus, going from 10 -> 63%. Is this an oversight or did I miss some possible interaction?

Resist all is multiplicative. Your temporal resist of 35% takes into account the 23% resist all that you have. Your base resist is much lower (around 13% or so).

The formula is:

Code: Select all

R = 1 - ((1 - resist all) * (1 - base resist))
R is what you see on the character sheet.

So, when you gain another 30% to the base resist from t. form, you get less of a bonus from resist all.

And here I was under the impression that resist all was additive. Huh.

Thanks for the heads-up.
