Buff Stacking and Caps

from Demigod Forums

I did some testing today to see how buffs stuck and their limits. It appears that buffs are additive rather than multiplicative, so the formula for speed, for example, would be:

 

Speed = Natural Speed + [Natural Speed * Buff One] + [Natural Speed * Buff Two] + ...

 

To give out some Unclean Beast numbers for reference:

Start Speed: 6.3

Speed w/ Skills: 6.9

Speed / Skills & All Passive Items: 11.7

Speed Cap: 14.0

 

It appears the Attack Rate cap bottoms out at 0.50 seconds per attack for Unclean Beast, if not all heroes.

 

Has anyone else done similar testing, and if so, have I missed anything? I'll continue to look into this, as I want to know if LifeSteal stacks, but that one will be a bit tougher to gauge.

Almost certain lifesteal stacks, but not sure how. Shouldn't be too hard to find out though, as you get green heal numbers over your head when you use lifesteal and do damage (and when you have less than full hp).
