Are totems my ally?

[ExcisioN]

Hi, I play a firetotem templer and i got a mask which says:
30% less damage
You and your ally do 15% more damage

So does that mean that my totems will do 15% more or 15% less damage?
Thx

You may also have misunderstood more and less...

Your totems do damage like you would, so the 30% less applies to them. As they're considered allies (see link above) they also get the 15% more...
0.7*1.15 = 0.805, so it'd be a total loss of 20%...

if it's really "more" and "less". It sounds suspiciously like https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Leer_Cast
which has those values but uses "reduced" and "increased" instead of "less" and "more". Which in turn means that those stack additively with other applicable such modifiers. (More and Less would refer to factors instead)

So they'd still do 15% reduced damage when you wield that mask (but not 15% less).

This is the mask i have. I translated it myself. You are right, it says reduced and not less.
So the mask is not useful for me.

Thanks!
