I'm a little confused about percentages.
Basically, in the latest patch notes for this RPG I've been playing, the numbers for a skill have changed as follows:
57.4 damage per second => 45.92 damage per 0.8 seconds
In a reddit thread, this was computed as a $25\%$ damage decrease and a $25\%$ trigger frequency increase:
57.4 / 45.92 = 1.25
1 / 0.8 = 1.25
Is this correct? Shouldn't it be a $20\%$ damage decrease with a $25\%$ trigger frequency increase?
57.4 damage * 8 triggers over 8 seconds
45.92 damage * 10 triggers over 8 seconds
57.4 -> 45.92 is a 20% decrease
8 -> 10 is a 25% increase
