About Lanaya

[superlars]

If I get crit items on Lanaya, and I use refraction, is the extra damage from refraction added before or after the calculation of the crit?

Edit:
Also, for Meld, is the armor reduction applied before or after the Meld damage?

Thanks

Before, the Refraction damage is added as any other additional damage from items, buffs and auras.

About your second question, I can only quote this...

Note that this means that the linked thread is false, because DracoLich's argument is false when Lanaya has Desolator. (the damage that procs Meld is actually a 0 damage instance corresponding to Desolator placing its buff, and not Lanaya's attack damage)

When Lanaya doesn't have Desolator, (or Orb of Venom, Eye of Skadi, or Maelstrom/Mjollnir that happens to proc on the Meld attack), what happens is:
1. Attack Damage
2. Meld -armor
3. Meld damage
