Talk:Eschuta's Temper

Hey, i am wondering about Eschuta's supposedly diminished Damage Increase:

"For example, Eschuta's Temper only adds up to 20% Lightning Damage on top of the 338% that is received from Lightning Mastery at level 25, which is only a 6% increase in damage.

Because the bonus damage stacks with the masteries, Eschuta's Temper only adds anywhere from 1-12% of extra damage - not the 20% that is stated on the item - the Heart of the Oak may be superior with its extra resists and mana instead."

I do not quite understand, how this diminished effect works and what rules apply. How exactly did you calculate that interaction between Lightning Mastery and Eschuta's? Can anyone verify that diminished return?

 * It is not really a diminishing return. The damage bonus is added to the masteries' bonuses and does provide the 20% it says it does. What the article is (poorly) trying to say is that once you take the massive boosts of the masteries into account (Lightning Mastery specifically), the boost from Eschuta's Temper is insignificant. To clarify, 20 is ~6% of 338. So your base damage is increased by the stated 20%. It is confusing, especially when it is increasing fire damage too, which is only 163% at 20 points, and the fact that Eschuta's Temper's bonuses are random. Obviously the article needs to be rewritten to make more sense, but that is easier said than done.
