Gem of Brutality and poison
Hi, i have 2 questions.
1) in 3.0 Gem of Brutality was added. It removes all elemental damage from attacks but grants physical damage. My question is: does it stacks with "chance to poison on hit"? In Path of Builder it shows that taking Gem of Brutality completely removes Poison damage. Is it true ingame aswell? 2) New nodes that increases DOT damage in 3.0 saying that: "increase damage from ailments from attack skills". Does it mean bleed and poison, that was added via "chance to cause bleed on hit" dont benefit from it? Does it benefit only Viper Strike, Puncture und etc? If so - boring.

1) dunno, we will be able to test it in game in couple dozens of hours, but according to the patch notes
" it will disable chaos damage too 2) when something says "with attack skills" it affects any damage caused by attack skill, including damage over time and secondary damage (infernal blow explosion, expl. arrow exlosion) when something says "with attacks" it works with attack damage only (so it never affects DoT or secondary damage) IGN: Eric_Lindros

maybe it's a wording mistake in the patch notes, but in the game it was "no elemental damage" (see link above) and chaos damage is and was never considered elemental damage (thats how starforge builds could poison enemies) |

Brutality disables all chaos damage including poison. The link with the gem reveal is outdated, this was changed during the beta.
The new keyword "damage with attack skills" works with all ailments just fine, assuming appropriate damage types. |
