base values refer to the stats before modifiers are applied, all skills and realm bonuses always affect the base value and are then simply added up. someone was arguing that the skill affect apply on the altered stats in sequence but they do not, they were arguing that say divine storm activates and you base ATTACK was 100k and you gain 20% to 120k, and THEN get hit by a luring ray defence skill of say 15%, they were arguing that the effect is 100k x 1.2 x 0.85 = 102k, but in actual fact the skill always affect the base 100k value so the actual effect is the base and the sum of the effect:

100k + (100k x 0.2) - (100k x 0.15) = 105k
