Weaken & Critical Damage: Going Beyond Attack Damage

[Golem]

Golems Weaken Tests And What I Discovered

before I did my tests, I thought Crit DMG stacked on Poison, Fire, & Bleed DoT’s. I also thought Weaken only affected DMG from the original attack, and then I was wondering if it stacked like Crit DMG or not. Time To Test! first example will be a 1000 DMG Poison Weapon on a Poison Map with +350% Crit DMG (60% Crit Chance), +120% Weaken (100% chance for Weaken), and some Toxic. Poison Maps reduce Poison DMG by -50%. Primary Attack: (1 x 0.5) + 1.2 = 1.7 Weaken Multiplier 1000 x 0.5 = 500 …

this is an update for this post. I was really sad that DMG didn’t stack like I thought it did, but now I know how really powerful a build is when using Critical Chance & Damage with Deadly Strike and incredibly powerful with Weaken.
