How do these impact damage calculations?

For Deadly Strike and Tide-Born Wildstalker, what exactly is the % more modifier doing? Is it raising the base tooltip value by that amount, raising the weapon/spell damage at the time of calculation by that amount, or is it just do the normal calculation and adding that % to it at the end?

In the case of Deadly Strike, I'm quite sure it's % at the end, which makes it the most powerful thing it could be. Wildstalker I don't know. Presumably the same. In general, however, with % modifiers like these, you can't be sure at which point in the calculation they are applied. For example I'm quite sure that Willow's Path, a sustain % buff set, does not apply to all of your sustain sources. I am pretty sure, though, that for damage sets that are phrased like this - also Ansuul and Velothi-Ur - it's never done by raising weapon or spell damage.
