Hello, recently when I was playing my level 15 Death wizard I had these gear that did not do the damage correctly. I am suppose to do 10 damage for every Death spell that I use but instead I only do 7 damage for every Death spell that I use could anyone explain why and the reason for this?
Gear: Suten's Hood of Repose Level: 15+ Damage: +3% Death
Balmy Tunic Level: 15+ Damage: +4% Death
Princely Slippers Level: 10+ Damage: +3 Death

I am confused, are you saying it's only doing a 7 percent damage increase? or 7 damage boost total?
Can you do an example as well using say ghoul? This will help us figure out your problem.

hi there~ that's because certain pieces of gear at that level add damage that is not in percentages. adding +3 damage is not the same as 3% damage.

take the following example:

ghoul does 160 base damage.
an item with +3 damage raises that to 163 damage.
an item with +3% damage raises that to 164.8 (165) damage.

another example:

vampire does 350 damage.
+3=353
+3%= 361 (rounded up from 360.5 as per basic math)

hope this helps :)
