Don't know how the blues in this item works. It increases AR but how does it do that? And by how much? Here's the pic...
Same goes I guess for other items with +x% (+y%).
Thanks for response.

It increases the attact rating by 20%, which means each hit is going to hit harder.

Then what does the +100% doing to the 20% increase in AR? I was thinking it has more probability? or is more effective? Need more light on the (+%)s, thanks for responding.

it means it will give u the chance of hittin a higher dmg range of your weapon.
Your weapon has a dmg range with attack rating it gives you the propability of gettin the higher range

I think what he means is:
A lvl 16 bow has a base attack rating of 51, if you add that white 8% to it, it will give you 52. (rounded up)
52* 20% from the blue line gives you 62.
Thats how they calculate it. First the white % then the blues.

The +100% in that case [Attack Rating 20% Increase (+100%)] means that 20% is the highest value that you can get the blue stat. Like if you only got Attack Rating 10% Increase, it would say (+50%) in brackets at the end.
The higher the item is (in terms of degrees) the higher the blues you can get on it. While that 3rd degree bow can only get a max of 20% Attack Rating, my 8th degree bow can get a max of 40% Increase.

This was what I was looking for, a through explanation of that blue property. Thanks ya'll for pitching in your knowledge, much appreciated.
