All this gave me a headache, but the rocket scientist I always have laying around explained it too me. Looks good. Good Job

. But hey thanks man. This was useful I knew it went something like that but wasn't exactly sure.

Your bumping reminded me I wanted to revise the article. So there.

I was wondering, how you calculate it if you have more than two "20%".

Eg,

How would you calculate three or even four 20%s?

I couldn't figure the formula you used.

a 20% chance of triggering is 1 in 5, if you have 2 items which each have a 1 in 5 chance of triggering then the chance of them both triggering is 1 in 25(5*5) and 100/25=4 so thats a 4% chance of them both triggering.
If you had 3 (if this is possible) then you have a 1 in 5 (20%) chance of 1 triggering, a 1 in 25 (4%) chance of two trigerring and a 1 in 125 (0.8%) chance of all 3 triggering. like wise 4 would be 5*5*5*5=625, 100/625=0.16% chance of four triggering.

if you have a 20% and a 10% chance item the chance of them both triggering is 5*10=50, 100/50=2% chance and to calculate the 1 in X chance just divide the 100 by the percentage chance of triggering.
For example i have a 19% chance ite and a 11% item the chance of them both triggering is: 100/19=5.2631 (1 in 5.2631) and 100/11=9.0909 (1 in 9.0909) so 5.2631*9.0909=47.84631579 and 100/47.84631579=2.09% chance of them both triggering.

if you dont like doing it that way you can also simply multiply percentages for example if i have a 13% and a 20% and a 3% the ods of them all triggering is 0.13*0.2*0.03=0.00078 and 0.00078*100=0.078% chance of triggering.

I may have a 20% chance of halving recharge, what if I use Mantra of Recovery? I don't see anything like that answered here.

But wait, you say this is for Modifier Stacking and You? Hmm. Last time I checked there were more than the 20% faster casting and 20% faster recharge time weapon modifiers, which is quite disappointing. I was actually looking forward to seeing someone explain to the community the difference between an Icy Bow String and a Ebon Bow String. Apparently they don't count.

Thanks for the vauge and misleading thread that didn't fully explain how skills can be recharged.

The only explanation for this type of behavior is when someone hasn't been laid in a REALLY long time. Completely uncalled for.

On topic: Thanks OP
