Pyroclast Mine

"

Fires an additional Projectile for every 4 prior Mines in Detonation Sequence

Does this add to the total number of projectiles fired with each tier of sequence achieved, or does this fire a single projectile one time every 4 mines detonated?

For example (each number being the projectiles fired on detonation) does it:

3 > 3 > 3 > 4 > 4 > 4 > 4 > 5 > etc. etc.

Or is it:

3 > 3 > 3 > 4 > 3 > 3 > 3 > 4 > etc. etc.

Basically does the line about the additional projectile stack with each successive tier in the detonation sequence, or is it a one time trigger bonus?

I tried to figure it out myself, but I pretty much cover the screen every time I fire off some mines and can't really tell anything due to the detonation speeds.

I have a question about Necromancer corpse pact

the ascendancy mentioned:
Enemies near corpses you Spawned Recently are Chilled and Shocked

Is the source of chill/shock comes from your character?(which means it counted as you chill and shock enemies)
Or it's counted as corpse chilling/shocking enemies?

Since I noticed a notable in large cluster jewel
Sadist
15% increased Elemental Damage if you've Chilled an Enemy Recently
20% increased Elemental Damage if you've Ignited an Enemy Recently
25% increased Elemental Damage if you've Shocked an Enemy Recently

which requires you to chill/shock enemies to get increase elemental damage

I have read some post stated that this ascendancy can be buffed with your own global chill/shock effect. But the description looks like the enemies are chilled/shocked by the corpses on the ground.

Can sadist being activated with corpse pact?

Hey,

I got a question about Stormfire :
https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Stormfire

It makes the lightning damage able to ignite. My question concerns how it scales with bonus to fire and lightning damage. If it worked like "damage conversion" it would scale with both bonus to lightning and bonus to fire. But I think ignites does nott really work that way and is supposeed to only sscale with fire damage bonus ?

Hello,

I recently come up with a question of the lightning golems. I heard the lightning golem woul grants player extra attack and cast speed. Does this buff apply to other golems/minions as well? Also same qustion for fire&ice golems.

Thank you very much

I was wondering if the placement of notables for the cluster jewel is random or deterministic for each given notable combination.

And if there is a way to tell which of the notables will be in front of jewel sockets and which is the unlucky one to be placed behind?

Hello, I have a question regarding the Occultist's Frigid Wake notable and the new Blast-Freeze notable on cluster jewels.

Frigid Wake freezes nearby enemies every 4 seconds. Does:
1. The timer scale down with cooldown reduction?
2. Freeze duration scale up with freeze duration?

Blast-Freeze reads "Freezes you inflict spread to other Enemies within a Radius of 12". Does this include Frigid Wake's freezes?

Thanks!

Does Impale Support work for Sentinels from Herald of Purity?
Not only the more physical damage, but the impale effect does it work on sentinels' hit?

I tried Indigon+Spellecho+Archmage and encounter some weird mechanic!

"Enemies poisoned by you cannot regenerate life"

"1 Monster remaining intensifies"

I have question about atlas.

My Lira Arthain location on atlas shows that the region occupied by Drox. The region has is yellow.

1) I didn't see how many maps i should complete in order to finish occupation.I saw that u implement new mechanism that now player see how many maps he should complete in order to finish occupation process. ( i don't see any yellow/blue boxes )
2) At this territory i have only one watchstone. I have yellow tier maps there.

I complete already 20+ maps at this territory at this tier, why Drox is not coming, looks like its an issue or what? Please tell me what happen, because i can't progress. All other territories are the same no one comes :( Very sad.
