[Bug] Evoker » Forum Post by Viperswhip

The differnet tiers of traits always are cumulative. Mouse-over the stats they effect, not the trait itself and you will see the bonus from each tier in the tooltip (works for everything but +% exp).

i agree the tooltip for the skill should show more information for the stacked skills. but as chiarden says is a good workaround at least. not optimal i know.

Several of the bonuses do not show when you are choosing them - Evoker is just one example, as there is no place where you can look up what your current bonus to spell damage is.

that's a good point. it doesn't make much sense. The trait selection window shows your current character, and most - but not all - of their attributes. The selection of which seems pretty arbitrary

It would be nice if there was an info panel on unit screen listing all the current bonuses/penalties applied to that unit. Like, the combined experience % bonus applied to a champion thanks to various traits, items, etc. that currently can only be reverse-calculated from using a +10 exp book and watching how many XP points it actually adds...

Off the top of my head, the Big three are

Experience Multiplier
Spell Damage Multiplier
Tactical Mana Cost Multiplier

Doing 1 mana Sunders for like 310 points damage is cool (most wildlands are a walk in the park for my sovereign by the early mid-game) - I'd like to see how I accomplished that.

It is a horribly confusing 'feature' that traits are cumulative, but buildings are not. The two things should work in the same way.

Either Evoker II should say that it increases the damage bonus from 25% to 50% (or is it actually multiplicative?), like buildings, or, buildings should say the amount they actually add, rather than listing the bonus of the requirement buildings included.

Agreed. I've been confused myself thinking that it was the same rule and that buildings gave bigger bonuses than they do.
