I've been reading Tommi's (excellent) guide to damage modifications and 2 questions popped up:
1. Why does the formula for mana loss contain a multiplier of 2? That is, why is everything calculated and then multiplied by 2? Is it something that I missed?
2. In regards to vulpine items, is the mana that is gained calculated from the unmodified damage, or is it calculated after all modifications (including ES) have been accounted for?
2. a. In theory, is it possible to have 100% or more in terms of damage taken goes to mana? If the vulpine calculation is done on the unmodified damage (and I suspect it isn't), could you generate mana by being hit?
Thanks in advance
