Coup de Grace RUTHLESS Deal 10% more damage to champions who have less than 40% health

Last Stand I WILL SURVIVE Deal 5%-12% increased damage to champions while you are below 60% health. Max damage gained at 30% health

Is there a difference between MORE and INCREASED damage?

I think 1 triggers before resistances and 1 triggers afterwards..

Edit: Either way, You should Roughly Get the same numbers, So i guess technically no difference?

As another Path of Exile player, agreed.

That is a very good question, actually. Only one way to find out, eh?

After my last hardcore character died to surprise random chaos damage, put that game down for a bit, will go back eventually, good question though.

Riot is very bad at technical writing. I'm pretty sure they mean the same thing and they just failed at being consistent with their writing descriptions.

Also, I don't think it makes a difference.

As an example: 100 base damage. 50% mitigation. 10% boost.

100 * 1.1 = 110, divided by 2 = 55.

100/2 = 50. 50*1.1 = 55.

More damage is bonus damage. It applies post-mitigation. Increased damage applies pre-mitigation.

I just woke up, so I'm probably going to be wrong. Let's see...

Say you do 100 damage, for the sake of numbers. You get the bonus 10% damage. That's 10 damage not mitigated by armour. Now say you get the 5-12% increased damage. You could potentially be doing 112 damage, but it'll be mitigated by armour, and resistances reduce damage by a percentage rather than a flat amount.
