I agree also. melbella is right, the assumption makes more sense if you consider the base value. If it's % to %, then straight addition. If it's units to %, it's either straight multiplication (Ability damage) or multiply and add (bonus damage). That's a bit more consistent, but doesn't help as much with Sigils, since they modify all kinds of things, sometimes units, sometimes percents, sometimes both in the same Sigil. You can have something like Sigil of the Nug, which is +25% Healing Bonus, -25% Attack, where the first one is probably multiply/add ("bonus" is a pretty strong clue) while -25% Attack is applied to a %, so probably straight addition. Though again, that could result in negative damage, so what does that mean? The enemy heals every time you hit them??Update: it was pointed out to me in an offline conversation that you can never have negative damage just by Attack% being negative, because Attack% is always added to 1 before being multiplied into the effective damage value. You'd have to have -101% or more (less?) before you'd see a negative number. And even then, the damage system seems to round up to 1 if you have effective damage that is less than 1. Yeah, that's what I was going to say when I read your first quote I think any attack that does damage has to do at least 1 damage, yes. That's why even though, say, a Rage Demon has fire "immunity", it takes 1 damage from fire attacks, so you could theoretically kill it given enough time

I used to hoard runes all the time, but about a year or so ago I stopped doing that instead of using the best runes as I came along them. Now I use weaker runes until I can craft the best ones.
