30% increased Armour
20% reduced Effect of Curses on you [1]
Sanctum of Thought is a notable passive skill that reduces the effect of critical strikes on you. It also grants increased armour and reducing the effect of curses on you.
Mechanics[ | ]
The bonus granted by this passive skill causes the character to take reduced extra damage from critical strikes. This is a modifier on the percentage of damage over 100% that an enemy inflicts with a critical strike on the character.[1]
Let m
be the enemy's critical strike multiplier and let R
be the sum of the r
's in You take r
% reduced Extra Damage from Critical Strikes modifiers being applied to the character. The enemy's effective critical strike multiplier E
is given by
E = 100 + (m - 100) * (1 - R/100)
If m = 150%
and R = 20%
, then
E = 100 + (150 - 100) * (1 - 20/100) = 140%
The enemy's effective critical strike multiplier is 140%, thus the extra critical strike damage is reduced by 20%, but the total damage of the critical strike has only been reduced by 6.67%.
Since the default multiplier for monsters is 130%,[2] for most monsters each 20% reduction would reduce the multiplier by 6% (20% of 30), which is 4.6% of total damage.
