Is this logic right? (DRK stance question)

So, in SB Grit reduces damage by 20%, while darkside increases it by 20%.

It's obvious that out of grit you're gonna get boosted DPS with darkside on. If you have both on, do they cancel each other out and you do base damage?

You do less then base damage with grit + darside
Basedamage - Grit = Gritdamage + Darkside = combined Damage:
100 - 20% = 80 +20% = 96
Basedamage + Darkside = Darksidedamage - Grit = combined Damage:
100 + 20% = 120 - 20% = 96

As you see you do about 4% less damage in grit + darkside as you would do without both.

While the end result is ok (you lose 4% damage), the way you wrote it is horrible. please don't kill math like that D:
the way you put it you just wrote that 100-20% = 96. If you want to do it in multiple step like you intended make it different lines:
* 100-20% = 80
* 80+20% = 96
It might not look like much but it makes things a lot easier to understand.
Other way is to develop it in multiplications. +20% means multiply by 1.2, -20% means multiply by 0.8. so final damage is 100x1.2x0.8=96
