Nullification math confusion

[Timmius]

I've been doing some gear tetris and I cant figure out how my negative spell power is calculated. It's at 935 currently. When I take of my ring which has 156 nullification, it goes down to 881 which is only a 54 reduction. My orb has 71 insightful nullification and when I take it off it drops by 110 making it 771. I don't have the coalescent ruby on anything either. Any ideas on why this is or is my understanding of how it's calculated flawed?

Look at your effects channel to see what that gear is conflicting with; ie- some other item providing negative spell power in the same channel like potency. As for your orb, is it providing stats or heal skills (as heal adds to negative spell power)?

Your orb has a +29 implement bonus which means its contribution is +100, and with something like traditionalist caster you're getting an extra 10. As for the ring, you probably have some potency somewhere else.

it says "You have multiple effects granting an Insight bonus to Necromancy Focus that do not stack. ( Orcus' Reign, Legendary Robe of Moonlight and Legendary Hands of Waste ) I know the gloves and robe both have ISFM 4 on them but Orcus' Reign has +4 quality necromancy focus. Thought that is a separate stat

And yes, your right about my orb but I don't see any general potency stats on any of my stuff

Get naked and check your negative SP. Then put your ring on. See if the results change correctly. Then slowly add one item at a time to figure out what's going on.

I got naked and my ring and orb correctly added up. I guess I don't understand how the other items affect spell power. Like when i add my Orcus Reign it adds 21 to my negative spell power. Thanks for the replies

Like when i add my Orcus Reign it adds 21 to my negative spell power.

What do you have slotted in it? Curses? Mythic or reaper boosts on it?

 

[Timmius]

it has a mythic boost +1. I thought it just added 1 point per it's description but I guess that works differently? it also has a 50 negative amplification augment but i thought that just affects healing?

He probably has it loaded with some spellpower filigrees.

Any filigree in that Minor Artifact?

that's it, and i think i found a typo on a filligree. the serpent fili says if you have 2 equipped you get +20 poison spell power but it is clearly adding negative too

edit: I was wrong it is the 2 other ones i have that are adding 10 each so Orcus is correctly applying the points

Nullification adds to Negative AND Poison spell power.
