Rounding, it's a thing they do in math.
Even if they rounded it is still wrong.. ._.Quote:

You could also get that if they are both set to always round up or round to the nearest. Let's say that it's 361.049 and the ring is adding 0.449. That would show as 361.1 and 0.5, but when you add them you would get 361.498, which would round up to 361.5.
The math is still correct and the actual formula's that use those stats wouldn't be doing any rounding (until the end) so it all still works.
So not a lie, at best it is more like a mathematical typo.
o-o I was thinking that items (should) have pre rounded/fixed stats that are consistent to one decimal place. I thought the reason this was thrown off was cuz of bonus damage. I understood what you meant the first time when you mentioned rounding, when I said it was still wrong I meant as in idc about the math, it is a typo so fix it kinda thing..Quote:

Well anyways I feel like this isnt going to be fixed since its part of the mechanics of the game, this will forever be a nuance in the game to annoy me. Or add a software that just does simple equations for the difference in the current and final stats off items.
