Default Spell damage Divine damage, im confused

Ok, so the latest editions to the Master crafted line have some crazy buffs.

Now get this.

EACH piece of the devout incarnidine plate gives BOTH +45 CA damage and +45 Spell damage. thats +315 CA damage and +315 Spell damage folks.

ok so on top of this i have +45 divine damage on my symbol.

question is do they stack?

Most of our CAs and Spells are Divine damage. so im reading this as if i got +360 CA and Spell damage, which of course is fairly INSANE. anyway. is that whats happening here? these things DO stack right? cause they are both CAs/Spells and Divine damage.

reading it wrong, it works toward + spell damage cap but only on divine damage based spells, which are only really used by paladins, templars, and inquisitors. basically, if it says + combat art damage, it adds to any combat art regardless of the damage it deals (i have cold based CAs on my monk which get + ca boost), if it says + spell damage it adds to all divine damage spells. same physics for crits as well if you were wondering

I dont get what yer saying here.

so they do stack. i have 7 peices of MC each gives +45 toCA and Spell damge for a total of 315 each.

my totem has a +45 to Divine damage.

so combined they should equal +360 to both CAs and Spells that use divine damage.

Right?

if you cant understand my explanation then you arent going to understand it simple as that, i said it as clear as it can get based on how it works, and used the proper descriptions of each separate mechanic based on game physics. try actually reading the description of it and learning how the game works yourself or you arent going to get it.

ed: k open your knowledge book (default command is hitting k). there are going to be 4 categories. 2 of them are spells and combat arts. anything with plus COMBAT ART damage will add to the combat arts, anything with + spell damage will add to the spells. the only exception is our undead strike attack, which is a combat art but procs a spell when used as well. if you cant figure out the difference between + spell damage and combat arts you need to work on your reading comprehension or actually inspect the adornment before you use it next time, it tells you these things in the description

Equip and un-equip your symbol to see what the CAs and spells display. The changes are shown immediately, so it's not hard to tell if it's affecting it by the popup from mousing over the spells/CAs you're wondering about.

And Faxon, you're damned arrogant about this, and your explanations suck. He was simply asking "does +divine damage affect both divine-based CAs, and divine-based spells, or is it one or the other." You "roundabout" answered that it only affects divine spells, but you didn't answer the question obviously, and got into rambling about the ENTIRE system rather than just answering the f'n question. I don't know the answer, but I'm not going to be an ass and say the other guy can't read when the problem is that you actually suck at writing.

My +douchebag damage would one-shot Faxon (CA or otherwise).

I tested it and they stack, so the douchebag is wrong.

the +315 to CAs and Spells add that much to all CAs and Spells cast, the +45 Divine stack on top as well to All CAs and Spells that are divine damage.

thus my effective buff to damage is like 360.
