![]() ![]() ![]() if it’s a decreasing modifier, choose the second set. So when there’s a choice between two sets of items (mathematical sets, not ingame sets) which add up to the same value, the first all having roughly the same value and the second having huge differences between the modifiers, remember the following rule: if it’s an increasing modifier, choose the first set. are so important even though they have low item modifier values.Īnother, less obvious conclusion is about the distribution of the value on your items: Stacking is most impactful when all items equipped have the same x-value. This is why legendary gems, passives, elemental damage rolls and items like the mage fists etc. For decreasing modifiers it’s the other way around. Let’s assume you have n items equipped all with the same modifier value of x, it means the total modifier isĪs these are exponential functions we can immediately draw one very important conclusion: Having lots of items with the same increasing modifier equipped is way more important than having some items with huge modifiers. The actual multiplicator is (1+x) if it’s an increase and (1-x) if it’s a decrease.įor items having different values the total modifier you get is just a product of all the multiplicators. legendary affix) as stated in the description. Remember to multiplicate/divide before you add/subtract. This is the part where i will start to do the actual maths. Wether stacking works for or against you depends on the multiplicator on the item: If it’s less than 100%, stacking decreases the total effect and vice versa. Having two items equipped DEcreasing your cooldowns by 10% each gives you a total of 19% CDR instead of the additive 20%. This effect can work for and against you: Having two items equipped INcreasing your damage by 100% gives you an increase of 300% to your damage (your doing 400% of the initial damage which is a 300% increase) instead of the additive 200%. Let’s start with the basics that i think most people know, the guide will get more important as you continue to read.įirst of all the easy explanation to stacking is that different effects of your gear interact multiplicatively instead of additive. You might believe it’s unnecessary at first but there will be some impact for builds that are currently played. Since i see people including myself getting things wrong quite often i figured it was necessary. This is supposed to be a guide to one of the games most important mechanics overall.
