So you are telling me that they have to change this again? 

We already had that problem with the Wvw dmg reduction meta in early HoT, when Tempest was literally immortal thanks to dmg reduction stacking. 

Anet fixed this by making dmg reduction multiplicative. 

As it stacking was unintended. 

Somehow they are stacking again? 

 

 

Earth literally used to give toughness no big nerf to tempest damage reduction happened during HoT, many nerfs to various other stuff tho

It's almost certain Geomancer's training was already multiplicative because it's the same mechanic as scrapper runes. 

Rune vs Trait is probably the more relevant distinction here.

But scrapper was multi yes.

Geo according to my testing was additive
