I know it may seem like a stupid question, but it's something i'm unsure of...
When an item, lets say Sunwukos says all those abilities deal 500% more damage... Does that actually mean it hits 5x harder, i.e. 835% x5 = 4175%... The same way +% skill damage works, or does it mean it gains 500% i.e. 835% + 500% = 1335... What wording is said to allow me to tell the difference between the two?
I would think by the wording "500% more" this is additive. The key word is "more". More than what? Well if the answer is 835%, then 1335% is right. If it was multiplicative I would expect to read something like "500% increased damage." This the syntax use for the multiplicative bonus described for each Sentry added on the M6 spec.

Many Thanks for any help!
Your currently deal 100% of your dps.
With this set you'll now deal 100%+500% damage.
That makes it an overall 6x multiplier.

Just fyi, 500% more damage is actually a 6x damage multiplier. 100% more damage, doubles your damage, so 2x multiplier, hence 500% is 6x.
