Hi all, maybe a noob question....but anyway...

It is better a flameblast lvl 21 or 23% quality?
From tooltip, lvl 21 give me more written dmg...but i dont know if is a "real" more damage than the 23% quality

Looking on poe.trade, lvl 21 cost much much more than a 23% quality...so i suppose the lvl 21 is better, is it right?


Exactly ! The level gives you roughly 8% MORE base damage, whilst quality gives 0.5% INCREASE per 1 quality. There's a huge difference between "More" and "Increase" in POE.
Let me copy/paste my post on reddit, which didn't get enough replies...
Maybe you guys can help me out

"So reddit, I have a dilema. I play elementalist flameblast totem. (thinking of switching to selfcast flameblast for shaper and guardians) and I took Mastermind of discord passive (damage penetrates 25% fire res) and I use flammability (-44% fire res, I know bosses have less curse effectiveness) I just made a 6 link, and I bought empower lvl 4...so help me out.

What is an ideal 6 link setup for elementalist Flameblast selfcast, and flameblast totems? Is fire penetration worth is, is poe database correct, Shaper has 40 fire res??
Should I just replace faster casting with empower?

Is fire penetration even needed? How good is it if we use mastermind and flammability?

Can we do some math, is empower 4 BIS for flameblast totems, and selfcast flameblast?"

I am curious what you guys have to say, I haven't read anything about empower and flameblast totems/selfcast

Cheers

Hi , I'm such a noob that tried out your build and i have a problem with my pasive skill tree.



I can't refund Cruel Preparation from my tree , any sugestions ?


EDIT: Apparently you already figured this out :P

You can refund it after you link the chain near the bottom of the passives selected (connect the 2 jewel slots near the bottom to each other through the middle. I had a hard time realizing thats why they were connected as well. You can refund it once you do that.

It is possible to have negative resistance.
So if you have 40 resistance, and take 100 damage, you will only take 60 damage.
0 resistance and you will take 100 damage (duh)
-40 resistance and you will take 140 damage
... and so forth. You get the picture.

Int on the gears also gives plenty of ES.

I tried googling, but couldn't find a definitive answer.
Is Int on gear applied as a MORE or INCREASED %-bonus to ES?

Say you have 1000 ES from gear, and 200% bonus ES from tree. That gives you 3000 ES.
But then you also get 100 int (another 20% ES), is that then
1000*1.1*3 = 3300, OR
1000*3,2 = 3200?

(I would strongly assume it is the latter, but I'd like to be sure).

How does elemental equilibrium work with this build. I would assume hitting it with a flameblast would decrease the damage of your burn? Also if you have to do multiple blasts to kill a boss doesnt it make the fight harder?

That's why you use Orb of Storms to trigger it, thus increasing your ignite damage.
