% Spell Dmg Vs Spell Dmg

I still don't understand it... What's the difference between % of spell dmg like +29% (just an example) vs +187 spell dmg?

 

one can do damage no matter what
the other boosts by a certain percent

 

Let's say your arrow bomb does 1000 damage.

Raw spell damage (187), will always add 187 more damage to the spell, making 1187.

On the other hand, the spell % will give you a percent bonus of damage. In this case, it's 1290.

 

Follow-up question: Assuming you have both a % damage increase and raw damage increase, does the raw get added before or after the percentage increase?

after

 

It's added after.

 

If I thought I needed a second opinion, I already got one.

Follow-up, Follow-up question: In Wynncraft, is this typical of any calculation where both a percentage and raw number bonus applies?

It's natural spell dmg, * % bonus, + raw spell. For example, if you deal 4k damage without a buff, have a 50% spell damage buff and 200 raw spell damage, it would go like this.
{4,000 x 1.50} + 200 = 6,200 damage.
