Sanctum of Thought
18% increased Armour
12% increased maximum Energy Shield [1]
Sanctum of Thought is a notable passive skill that reduces the effect of critical strikes on you. It also grants increased armour and energy shield.
Mechanics
The bonus granted by this passive skill causes the character to take reduced extra damage from critical strikes. This is a modifier on the percentage of damage over 100% that an enemy inflicts with a critical strike on the character.[1]
The default multiplier for monsters is 130%.[2] Let:
m
be the enemy's critical strike multiplier and let R
be the sum of the r
's in You take r
% reduced Extra Damage from Critical Strikes modifiers being applied to the character. The enemy's effective critical strike multiplier E
is given by
E = 100 + (m - 100) * (1 - R/100%)
If m = 130
and R = 30%
, then
E = 100 + (130 - 100) * (1 - 30%/100%) = 121
Thus, having Sanctum of Thought only, the enemy's effective critical strike multiplier is 121%. This show that the extra critical strike damage is reduced by 30%, but the total damage of the critical strike has only been reduced by 6.92%.
To sum up, for most monsters each 30% reduction would reduce the multiplier by 9 (30% of 30), which is 6.92% of total damage.
