slash DOTs spread by Marked for Death appear to be affected by enemy armor damage reduction squared

[continue]

• level 140, bleed proc deals 2719 to the original target, 283 to the subsequent targets

Spoiler

• level 40, bleed proc deals 2719 to the original target, 1164 to the subsequent targets
  • level 140 gunners are mixed in, yet still take 1164, indicating that the armor being taken into account is that of the original target

Spoiler

now for some math because everyone loves math:

the damage values seem to be calculated by original value*(MFD multiplier)*(1 - (armor damage reduction)^2)

• 2719*1.5*(1-0.9651^2) = 279
  • at level 140 a heavy gunner has ~96.51% DR,
• 2719*1.5*(1-0.8401^2) = 1200 at level 40
  • at level 40 a heavy gunner has ~84.01% DR

the MFD multiplier portion of the formula is confirmed by reducing power strength from 209% to 95%, which yields 553 damage per bleed proc
