I'm working on a new build, and I got curious as to how much of an increase the Divines trait actually gave me. I ran some calculations, (base white armor, no enchants, no jewelry, no weapons, supposed 3.5% increase) and discovered that the game's calculations are a bit off (in the case of the Lord mundus, WAY off). I tested The Lord (health boost), The Tower (stam boost), and The Mage (magicka boost). The following are my results (all percents rounded to the nearest tenth).
Passive boosts: +1% Health (Juggernaut), +6% Stamina and Magicka (Dynamic)
The Mage:
Base: 9003
With Boost: 9651 (increase of 648)
1 Divines: 9671 (+20, 3.1%)
2 Divines: 9697 (+26, 4%)
3 Divines: 9716 (+19, 2.9%)
4 Divines: 9742 (+26, 4%)
5 Divines: 9762 (+20, 3.1%)
6 Divines: 9788 (+26, 4%)
7 Divines: 9807 (+19, 2.9%)
Overall: +156, 24.1%
The Tower:
Base: 5425
With Boost: 6061 (increase of 636)
1 Divines: 6080 (+19, 3%)
2 Divines: 6105 (+25, 3.9%)
3 Divines: 6124 (+19, 3%)
4 Divines: 6150 (+26, 4%)
5 Divines: 6169 (+19, 3%)
6 Divines: 6194 (+25, 3.9%)
7 Divines: 6213 (+19, 3%)
Overall: +152, 23.9%
The Lord:
Base: 5680
With Boost: 6224 (increase of 544)
1 Divines: 6242 (+18, 3.3%)
2 Divines: 6266 (+24, 4.4%)
3 Divines: 6284 (+18, 3.3%)
4 Divines: 6308 (+24, 4.4%)
5 Divines: 6389 (+81, 14.9%) No, this is not a mistake, nor a miscalculation. I checked it 5 times!
6 Divines: 6413 (+24, 4.4%)
7 Divines: 6431 (+18, 3.3%)
Overall: +207, 38.1%
As you can see, the claimed "increase of 3.5%" is just plain false. If you are using The Lord, you are getting way too high of a boost, and if you are using The Mage or The Tower, you are getting short-changed. Anyway, just thought I would bring my findings to the community
