It depends on how much dex you already have . Let ' s assume you have 10 k dex and 20 % fire already , without wearing the amulet . The amulet adds 983 dex , so your new total is 10 , 983 . 10 , 983 is 109 . 83 % of 10 k , so the damage your dexterity contributes increased by 9 . 83 %. Now let ' s look at fire damage . You have 20 , and the amulet adds 16 , for a total of 36 . So your fire damage is multiplied by 1 . 36 , instead of 1 . 20 . 1 . 36 is 113 . 33 % of 1 . 2 , so the damage that your fire stat contributes increased by 13 . 33 %. 13 . 33 is more than 9 . 83 , so the fire stat adds more dps than the dex does . Hope this clears things up . <| sep |> The Order doesn ' t forget the North , my Lord . How could we ? Just as we defend the Southern realm from threats , so too does the North protect the South from Wildling raiders . Stannis said with a slight smile on his face , they were words he sincerely meant . A waste of time , truly . Why does Prince Beron think he needs to curry favour with the lords of the realm ? He is the Crown Prince . There are no other viable claimants . Stannis lied . He disliked lying , but he had to now . Stannis shook his head . It ' s affairs like these that make me wish I still drank the way I used to in my youth with my cousin Alyn . At least then I managed to have some fun . He said , with a chuckle .
