Movement speed calculation

Jaxaxo · February 2019

Hello, can anybody here explain me in details how is movement speed calculated in game. Like some kind of equation maybe? What is additive, what is multiplicative, etc?
Here is example:

Warden (15% redeced effectiveness of snares in 5-1-1 (4% reduced effectiveness of snares cuz of 1 light piece) which is using steed mundus stone (10% increase movement speed) and 1 swift piece (6% increase movement speed) and is sprinting (i think it's 40% increse, but not sure) got snared by heroic slas (60% reduce speed) and is running in caltrops (30% snare - didnt get hit by them, only running in them). What is his movement speed?

Your movement speed is 156% of base walking speed (100% + 40% sprint + 10% Steed + 6% Swift)
Stronger snares override weaker ones, so only the 60% Heroic snare affects you
Snare resistance is additive among its sources, so you have 19%.
Snare resistance applies multiplicatively to snares, so you are slowed by 0.6*0.81 = 48.6%

I'm not sure how/if the game rounds that decimal, so I'll just treat it as 49% to simulate the worst-case scenario.

Your current speed is therefore 107% of base.
