# Bloodthirst Support [[Bloodthirst Support]] is a [[support]] gem that grants more damage to [[attack]] made with the supported skill. It also grants added flat physical damage with weapons based on your maximum life pool to the skill while on low life. ## Skill Functions and Interactions Bloodthirst's <span class="text-mod">more damage</span> modifier is active unconditionally, whether the character is on low life or not. The flat added physical damage is a conditional modifier, because it is only active while on low life and using a weapon. ### Damage Calculations The total damage depends on the characters maximum life and total flat damage from other sources. These calculations count both the flat physical damage and the more damage. Therefore they assume the character is on low life and using a weapon. Add up all flat sources of damage not from the gem = Q (Total life X .02) = Y ( Q + Y ) = K ( K X More damage) = V (V / Q) = final answer. - Example: Level 20 gem. A player with above average life has 6,000 maximum life. All other sources of average flat physical damage is 300. - (6,000 X .02) = 120 Flat added physical weapon damage. - (300 + 120) = 420 - (420 x 1.19) = 500 - (500 / 300) = 1.66 - In this example the final damage modifier is 1.66 times the damage. In other words 66% more damage. Life|Other flat damage sources|more dps -|-|- 6000|300|66%
