Dark Knight changes needed

[shao32]

So does Grit's damage reduction remain 20% at all times even with Dark Side active? I always thought having DS up lowered the penalty.

and thats the result of threats like this started for persons how want to change things not only 1 time, all whe make mistakes for miss information, is again again and AGAIN and don't have any idea or just are trolling for make discord betwen us.

grit reduce damage incoming in 20% and dealt -20%, with darkside (aument damage dealt 15%) the total result is 20% damage reduction and -5% damage dealt (i don't know the exact formula but is close to -5%), ignore this threat already ppl.

It's multiplicative, not additive so you actually have to multiply the 80% (-20%/from grit) damage being done with Grit on by 115% (15% boost from Darkside) to end up at 92%, not 95%.
(1 - 0.2)x1.15 = 0.92

This works with all stacking buffs/debuffs that affect the same thing (% damage up, % damage down, etc.) in the game.

Also, Galgarion is both correct and incorrect in his statement. The Darkside buff does not reduce the 20% damage loss from Grit, that 20% is always that in the equation while calculating damage in Grit.
However, Darkside changes the equation itself by introducing in another factor to it so while the 20% is still there, now so is the 15% increase from Darkside, which in turn does alter the result of the equation to be a higher number which someone could describe as "lessening the damage decrease caused by Grit" if you focus on the end result.

I somewhat feel that it has become a bit of an argument of semantics, perception and wording.
