10% Bonus Damage vs 10% Power Stat: Which is Better?

10% Bonus Damage vs 10% Power Stat Aura: Which is Better?

My Hero has 1000 Power equipped with gear (10% Power or 10% Bonus Damage) vs my opponent's hero with 10000 Health & 25% Damage Resistance.


Computation using gear with 10% Power Aura (ignoring all other auras like Faction Bonus, etc.):

Total Power = 1000 + 100(10% from gear) = 1100 Power
Total Damage = 1100 - (1100 x 0.25DR) = 825 Damage
Opponent's Max Health - Total Damage = 10000 - 825 = 9175 Remaining Health



Computation using gear with 10% Bonus Damage (ignoring all other auras like Faction Bonus, etc.):

Total Power = 1000 Power
Damage w/out Bonus Damage = 1000 - (1000 x 0.25DR) = 750 Damage (25% DR applying first before 10% Bonus Damage?)
Total Damage = 750 + (750 x 0.10BD) = 825 Damage
Opponent's Max Health - Total Damage = 10000 - 825 = 9175 Remaining Health



So my computations in Bonus Damage are correct or it works like the Power Aura?
Applying the Bonus Damage first before Damage Resistance?




Edit: corrected the math error

In simplistic terms, they're roughly equal (you have a math error in your power aura example).

Bonus Damage doesn't affect the actual power stat, though, so anything based on a hero's power stat takes auras into account, but not bonus damage.

There's tradeoffs to each.

Ok Thanks Lyeshal. Found the math error. Haha

Last Question
When is Bonus Damage applies before or after Damge Resistance Calculation?
