[Spell] Damage reduction stack?

[Anchorist]

Hi there, long time no see!

I've encountered a problem, to be exact i don't have proper information on that one.

Let's say i give a unit Damage Reduction ability (Defend in my case), which gives 40% damage reduction, now this unit uses spell that also do Damage Reduction lets say for 20%, i found that they should stack (?) if yes, then in which order?

By stack i mean the ability that reduces damage by 20% reduces the remaining 60% damage that went trough my first damage reduction spell.

Halp.

if it is factor, then it does not matter.
say damage is 100
100 X 0.6 X 0.2 = 48

more detail

100 - 40% is 60
60 - 20% is 48

100 - 20% is 80
80 - 40% is 48

same either way

if it was +/- reduction only then the order matters. and I think if you base that on hardened skin ability then it should be the +/- first and then the reduction %

Silly me

Thanks for quick reply! I bet i'll ask more questions later!

yes, multiplication is communative or what is the word, so order of operands in multiplication does not matter, it will always output the same value at the end.

Only in - and / the order of operands matters
