[UserImposed] Stacking items that reduce max % of health decreases the max health WAY beyond what it should

Hello everyone, this is my first post, I hope everyone is doing great!

I want to make use of the pearls infusions that amplify the enchantments greatly when you are low health, meaning I want to always be at low health (<50%).

So I stacked three corrupted items:
cloth pants: Reduce max health by 15%
cloth gloves: Reduce max health by 16%
ring: Reduces max health by 21%

Total aimed max health reduction = 52%, leaving me with 48%, in theory.

When I wear said items individually, they work properly, But if I wear the gloves with the pants or more at the same time, the percentages go crazy:

Wearing only my cloth pants -15% reduces my max health from 405 to 345 (as expected)
Wearing only my cloth gloves -16% reduces my max health from 405 to 341 (as expected)
Wearing only my ring -21% reduces my max health from 405 to 320 (as expected)
Wearing ring -21% and gloves -16% reduces my max health from 405 to 256 (as expected)
Wearing ring -21% and pants -15% reduces my max health from 405 to 260 (as expected)
BUT
Wearing pants -15% and gloves -16% reduces my max health from 405 to 187, effectively reducing my max health by 54% when it should reduce by 31% (280 was expected)
Wearing ring -21% and pants -15% and gloves -16% reduces my max health from 405 to 102, effectively reducing my max health by 75% when it should reduce by 52% (195 was expected)

I read somewhere that I needed to also upload some game files…but I can’t find those guidelines anymore. If anything else is needed just let me know and I will gladly upload it.

this isn’t a bug; the gems that increase enchantment power also affect the negative enchantments, so your life reductions get increased by 80% (or 100% if you’re using mottled pearls) when you get under the low life threshold

yeah….not really.

Wearing pants -15% and gloves -16% reduces my max health from 405 to 187, effectively reducing my max health by 54% when it should reduce by 31% (280 was expected)

In this scenario the mottled pearls should not even activate because I should be at 69% health.

So there IS A BUG here to be studied.

again, you were on low health so the gems were active; you had all 3 items equipped which brought you below low health threshold and when you unequipped the ring the two remaining items were giving you around -54% max health because of the gems being active (16x1.8 + 15x1.8) keeping you under the threshold even after you removed the ring

I think zay is pretty much spot on, thanks for that zay!

As soon you hit the threshold, your gems activated and doubled the debuff. Since you stay under the threshold even when unequipping one of your gear pieces, the resulting stats make sense.

If you still believe there is something faulty in the calculation, please let me know and I’ll get a second opinion!

touché, you guys are right.

In order to not be that punished I must remove one pearl from one of the armor pieces…

Thanks for the feedback and patience xD
