Does anybody know if +lightning skill % (as in that found on griffons or short circuit) damage still stacks additively with sorcs lightning mastery?

It will increase your lightning skill damage ofc. I just wonder if it is additional or multiplicatice?!? (Is it: skilldamage x 500% ligtningmastery x 20% griffons lightdamage increase Or is it: skilldamage x 520% lighningdamage increase from various sources?!)

additional.
you will not have skilldamage x LM x gearskill%dmg.

imagine the output if it were multiplicative...10000x. Ouch.

As the game is pretty bad for calculating the damage, any +% to damage is added to the initial damage skill you have. it is additive but take in consideration the amount of projectile you have and that scales a lot better : L/CL vs lightning fury(java)

For lightningSorc and fireSorc - %resistance is better then + %damage
For FrostSorc +%damage is better then - %resistance(when capped at -135 % including mastery)
