its added to the bonus damage additive from stats, doesn't multiply the current bonus damage. taking a +25 to a stat is about the same I'm sure lol

think about it like this, you pump 600 points into a primary stat, you have 400% bonus damage, with that passive, you have 437% bonus damage from the base damage of weapon and skills. If the skills current level is 5000 damage base without modification, 400% will make it hit 20000 damage without crit, with that passive, it jumps to 21850. You also have to take into consideration all of the other passives that goes into it, which again are only additive.

thank you for clarifying, the calculations in this game are so different from what i'm used to. If it says 37.5% damage increase it means 37.% damage increase in other games. They made the damage scaling so complicated in my opinion. Still thank you !

Even with the old retaliator node with 3% increase it would be a bad thing to take it with the Crit chance reduction that is obviously fully applied ^^.

Is it this way? Or is it what each Player do think about if they do not study each calculation by them self.
Best Way we think is a Developer Letter about this Thema.
