Banish

[Undead_ted]

I'm creating a spell that is going to be using banish. We all know that banish deals 66% more damage, but the thing is that I'm confused about it. Does it deal damage of spell x 66%?

What do you mean by "Spell × 66%". You mean "Damage × 0.66"??

It deals 66% more damage, so the math would be:
100% + 66% = 166% = 1.66 (rather than 0.66).

You deal 100 damage to the target with a spell, which has Banish. Cause of damage reduction the target takes 86 spell-damage (for example), but it has Banish so ..
86 (primary damage) x 0.66 (damage multiplier) = 56.76 (extra damage from Banish), removing the .76 its 56,
then 86 (primary damage) + 56 (damage bonus from Banish) = 142 (exact damage).

So the target takes 142 spell-damage if it has Banish.

Think about it this way.

Damage = 100%
Reduction = -20% (lets say)
Amplification = +66%

100% + 66% - 20% = 146%

If you were using -14% as you were (for the value of 86 damage) then it would yield:

100% + 66% - 14% = 152%

Giving you 152 damage.
