Wow. This is gonna be fun.

sweet, armour set looks rad (I mostly like the helm which unfortunately got swapped but I gues I'll just have to do more challenges). I like the challenges more than what we had before. Some extremely easy, some extremely hard. Expect that more people will complete higher number of them and less will do all of them.

I stiil dont get how poison skills work. Let's take Contagion for example. Does it stack or not? Can I put multiple contagion stacks on the same monster? When monster dies all charges go to the others or just one?
|
|
" Contagion is not a poison, it's a damage over time spell dealing chaos damage. As such, it does not stack with itself. |
|
" So Contagion and Essence Drain are just another type of Poison Arrow... So stacking can only be done with Poison support gem and other uniques that grant poison. And I presume that increasing skill effect duration will increase the duration of Poison? |

Well hell, since 8 of the challenges are gated behind RNG/trade, seems I won't be able to get a full set.......
For example, since Awakening was launched I have YET to get a single (that is one) T-12+ map to drop for me (and I have rolled ridiculous mods). So to do the simple twinned boss challenge will cost out my a$$, not to mention the ID'ing challenges. Why should I bother playing this league??? 17/04/2021 https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3082616/page/1
"We tell people that Path of Exile league starts are a fair playing field for everyone, and we need to actually make sure that is the reality." A BLATANT LIE by the HMFIIC. Perhaps GGG should consider a leadership change. |

@GGG
in your development manifesto about poison(http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1456880) you state that poison is " However, in this announcement you say " are those two different values intentional or did you change the poison damage values after the manifesto? imho 10% seems rather weak. even with fatal toxins this is roughly a ~20% more multiplier. with the manifesto values poison would be a 40% more multiplier with fatal toxins, i.e. much more in-line with other support gems.

" Well, it's easiest to make a comparison. Fire Trap, Flame Totem and Fireball all do Fire damage, but all Fire damage isn't Fire Trap. Same with Contagion, Essence Drain, Poison (soon Caustic) Arrow, they all do Chaos damage but all Chaos isn't Poison. Contagion and Essence Drain apply their own chaos DoTs which will each and separately deal damage but cannot stack with itself, the Poison support gem will apply chaos DoTs that do stack with itself, because that's a unique feature of how poison damage will work in 2.1. The Poison gem however can only apply poison based on physical or chaos damage hits, which basically means all attacks and nearly all spells. A DoT itself deals no hits, so supporting Contagion with the Poison gem wouldn't work. Supporting Essence Drain with the Poison gem would mean the initial hit of the spell could apply poison, but not the DoT component of it. As for duration it's still a bit unclear. Increased Duration support gem should work with any duration skill and the Poison support but the latter doesn't have the 'duration' tag so I wouldn't swear by it yet. The passive increased duration nodes specifically only apply to skill durations, so wouldn't increase the duration of a poison created by something like a unique item. |
