Damage Modifier doesn't add up

So I recently maxed out my Pets Strength Attribute so that i could get more damage out of it
Myth giver and Pain giver both went up by 1% yet my damage in total added up to 131% instead of 132%

These were the numbers I had

7+16+31+21+7+26+14+10 should equal 132 but I'm still at 131?

The percentages of pet talents are rounded up or down, but when we battle we get the exact percentage not the one shown.

If you have a pet talent giving 6.5 or above it will round it to 7%. If you have 2 pet talents that are rounded like this, when they are added together they may not add up to enough to be 14%.

6.5 x 2 = 13 but separately they will each show as 7%.

For the damages to show as 14% when added together they would have to be at least 6.75 each...this would still not be a true 14% though.

This is one of the reasons wizards can sometimes show as having full accuracy but still fizzle on occasion - if there is a pet boost included it isn't a true percentage like those on gear. There could still be up to .5% chance of a fizz!

I hope this helps explain it
