Notes: Update with info about how EE affects your teammates damage (it doesn't aside from MV). I just witnessed a 2v2 argument about this in phantom, it seems to be a common misconception.
Line 27: Line 27:
*The damage amp, and the spirit damage it is amplifying, are applied to the target as separate instances of damage. The damage from the damage amp is dealt ''after'' the original spell damage. This has implications for abilities or effects that rely on single instances of damage, for example:

**[[Vindicta]] has 5 stacks of Escalating Exposure on an enemy [[Warden]], and she uses [[Vindicta#(4) Assassinate|Assassinate]] on him. The baseline [[Vindicta#(4) Assassinate|Assassinate]] on its own is not enough damage to kill the [[Warden]], but the increased damage (due to the 5 stacks) is enough to secure the kill. Since the damage amp from Escalating Exposure is applied after the [[Vindicta#(4) Assassinate|Assassinate]], it is technically the damage amp which secures the kill, not the [[Vindicta#(4) Assassinate|Assassinate]]. Thus, [[Vindicta]] will ''not'' receive bonus souls from [[Vindicta#(4) Assassinate|Assassinate]]'s passive.

* EE's Damage amp is applied to only ''your'' damage, not to your teammates' damage as well. ''However'', the flat non-stacking 12% vulnerability from Mystic Vulnerability, the trade-up for EE, ''is'' applied for all teammates. <ref>https://youtu.be/eN1Z1tZBHd4</ref>
** This means regardless of your own stack count, your Geist's 100 damage bombs will only apply 112 damage (Mystic Vulnerability's 12%) and will not be affected by your stacks.
