if the aa reads " increases damage of soandso strike by 35%" it means it makes it do damage as if you had 35 more points of potency. in example : if you have 60000 potency, spending 5 aa's in that ability make that strike deal damage as if you had 60035 potency. its the same for crit bonus - if it read - increases crit bonus by 15%. then it'll deal damage as if you had 15 more - going over the overcap
This brings up something interesting. I lost 1 million health swapping from Dwarven Work Boots to a MC piece. The MC I chose has +19% health on it (or some similar amount)... which should've given me 4 million, even with the drop of nearly 130k health from swapping. Sometimes I wonder if it's percent of base or some silly thing.
on your character page scroll over your hp and see the max hp % increase, a 1000% increase on 130k hp is over a million two doublings is a tripling ect, 100%(double) hp = 260k, 200%(triple) = 390k, ect 300%(quad) 520k if you had 1000% bonus hp and tacked on a bonus 20% its not 20% of your total. its 20% towards another "doubling" as it were so for this example. 130k hp with 1000% vs 1020% would end up being 1.43 million hp for 100%, and 1020% would be 1.456 million. Y x (z+1) where Z = your hp % (remember when making %'s a number its 1/100th of whats shown so 1/100th of 1000 is 10 so 10+1 = 11 x130k = 143k and 11.2 x130k = 145.6k if im wrong update my information and i'll fix my notes.
I figured it was someth ing like this. Pretty much makes all of those increase damage AA choices obsolete. Same thing with the increases reuse speed choices as most skills are capped at half their original re use time.
