Mundus Stones and "Divines" Gear Trait...

The Divines trait will increase Mundus Stone effects by a certain percentage, which seems very cool... .but how does it work with effects that start at a low percentage, such as The Shadow, which "increases Critical Strike Damage by ~5%" (according to this page, anyway)

I'm guessing for each piece of gear, it's not going to be 3.5% + 5% = 8.5% bonus from a single piece of gear - that would get out of hand really quickly!

But, if I had 5 pieces of gear, each with 3.5% Divines Effect, they wouldn't even total up to a 6% overall bonus...

(5 * 3.5) = 17.5
5 * 0.175 = 0.875
= 5.875% Crtitical Strike Damage Bonus

Is this correct, or am I doing it wrong?

    Correct.

    lol, thanks. :)

    So... would it be correct to say that it doesn't really seem worth it then...?

    Worth it is relative to your playstyle. At Legendary iirc 4 pcs of divines (all 4 off pcs) raises a 5% (Thief/Shadow/etc) to 7.45% or something close to that. The bigger issue has been with soft caps much of any other trait would be lost on off pcs. Now with those gone in 1.6 and even random trash mobs hitting for 15K+ on normal attacks thus draining your Stamina to zero in 2 seconds I would wager we might see a few others used like Reinforced, Impen, Infused, Nirnhoned. Infused still won't give a huge benefit on off pcs but right now people are stacking Health or Mag/Stam as much as possible just to compete.
