Please enlighten me on all 3 different items, that crossbow thing, the bonesaw and that icy knife, whatever their names be. I get the number in descriptions but there be 2 results in me mind.
For example, a crazy bugger has armor equals to 50% damage reduction and I have that bloody crossbow = pierce 45%. So…
Does the bugger reduce me damage 50-45 = 5%
or is it 50/45= ≈25%?
The armor/shield pierce from , , and simply make you ignore part of an enemy’s armor/shield when dealing damage. All three work exactly the same, except for which also removes armor from a target temporarily. To answer your specific situation, the enemy would reduce your damage by 27.5% rather than than the full 50% because you would ignore 45% of their armor.
Additionally, as @NinjaBryden mentioned, damage reduction from sources like Grace’s Holy Shields and aren’t taken into account during the initial damage calculations. They reduce the amount of damage taken after damage calculations.
Much appreciate good mate, exactly what I was looking for.
Before this, me be thinkin’ that only Bonesaw works like that and other 2 items just remove the flat percentage of the target. Turns out I was wrong, but I like how it be.
