Green + numbers and white numbers in your in-game stats?

[corbet]

When you mouse over your stats in game such as damage. There is a white number and a +5 for example in green. Now one item I bought boosted the white number, and the other item I bought boosted the +5 green number. The white and green number were both for the same stat. I believe an agility item increased the white number, while another item for just damage increased the green number. something like that.

So what the hell is going on?

Aslo. Is the total damage both added together or what?

White is your base stats. Green is added on by items.

Yes both those numbers together is your total damage.
Like Pie said, white is your base attack damage (for example, 50)
And when you put a point in your stats or buy items that grant strenght or damage, that makes the damage grow.
Some heroes got some abilities that makes their damage grow, for example - critical chance (wraith king), enchant totem (earthshaker), collecting souls (swag fiend), winning duels (legion commander), etc, etc, etc.

leveling up moves up the white number, but leveling up and choosing to level up your atributes in fact moves up the green number instead of white.

Items also increase the green number.

yeah thanks, I tested it in a custom game shortly after I made this. A new question rised though. I tried to see how much boosted life steal vlad's offering would give me, because it doesn't give flat lifesteal, it only gives percentage boost of lifesteal of how much life steal I had. Then I can't see how much lifesteal my character is wearing, from viewing over my ingame stats.

Vladimirs Offering:
Grants a variety of bonuses to nearby allies. Lifesteal bonuses from Vladmir's Aura only affect melee units.
Multiple instances of Vladmir's Aura do not stack.

Radius: 900
Lifesteal: 16%

Bonus Armor: 5

It gives 15% lifesteal to melee units.

Ok so 15 percent of damage done then heals, the 15 percent is based off of how much damage done? It isn't about 15 percent increase of how much flat lifesteal I had?

Lifesteal allows the attacking unit to gain Health when damaging an enemy with a regular(right-click) attack, which includes any attack modifier with physical damage. The lifesteal ability can be gained via items, passive abilities or the auras of other units.

The amount of health a unit gains from lifesteal is calculated by percentage of the actual damage done to the damaged unit.

You gain 15% of the damage you deal as HP.

Damage and Agility are two different things.
You gain damage with damage items. Damage does not affect your stats and does not effect illusions.
Agility only gives damage to agility heroes.
Strength gives damage to strength heroes and so on.
The green stat is added from items and leveling up stats.
