Double dipping

Double dipping is an unofficial name for a game mechanic when the same damage modifier applies twice to a single damage source.

These are conditions for double dipping to happening:

• damage from one source is based on another source' damage (e.g. ignite or poison are based on the initial hit)
• a modifier grants a generic stat that can apply to different damage sources (e.g. increased Area Damage or increased Elemental Damage)

Then the interaction can be explained as follows:

The modifier applies to the damageof the 1st source

⇒

Damage of the second source is based on damage dealt from the 1st source

⇒

The modifier applies to the damage of the 2nd source

As a result the modifier has been applied twice to the 2nd modifier.
