1. what is the damage formula for summoned wolves and grizzly? lets take into considaration: might aura, heart of wolverine and maxed grizzly
2. how does the thorns aura work with gear that has -% damage like shaftstop or shako? there was a guide years ago that has a nice sequence but im not sure about it
from the The Energy Sorc Guide [SP]:
"Energy Shield: This is where the damage is redirected by Energy Shield and mana loss due to Energy Shield occurs.
Damage Reduced by X/Magic Damage Reduced by X: The damage that is not redirected by Energy Shield is reduced by the appropriate amount and possibly nullified.
Resistances: Resistances are applied. This phase does not just include the resistances listed in the character screen (Fire/Cold/Lightning/Poison) but also Magical damage and Physical damage (gained from equipment like Shaftstop). This phase is also where curses like Lower Resist, Amplify Damage and Decrepify are applied, as is Conviction.
X% absorb: %-wise absorb is applied here. I won't go into details here, since we aim to avoid this phase.
+X absorb: See above.
Damage Goes to Mana: Mana is gained based on the amount of damage still left at this point.
Ouch: Damage is applied to life.
Mana Burn: Technically not part of the damage resolution, but part of the hit resolving that occurs after damage resolution. I mention it here to indicate that it will not take down Energy Shield before Energy Shield gets the chance to redirect the damage."
