Hatred
" Ok I got that, but before using 7 regrets i'd like to be sure about the specific case :) IGN: TANte_bestie - Timezone: GMT +1

There is no specific case though, is the point. Hatred applies a Buff, just like any other Aura you can cast. As such, IF will multiply the percent-damage bonus.

Ok thanks

Is the damage from hatred (and added fire damage support gem for that matter) affected by armor or just the corresponding elemental resistance? Also, is hatred or added fire damage affected at all by the curse vulnerability?

Hatred adds Cold damage. Armor protects against Physical damage. Cold != Physical. Same with Vuln.

" What does != mean? Is that supposed to be a "not-equal" sign. Hatred adds cold damage based upon the amount of physical damage you do. If the cold damage of hatred is not affected by armor or vulnerability, then vulnerability is tremendously underpowered. Can you clarify? |

!= is indeed 'does not equal'.
It's exactly as I said. Hatred adds Cold damage. All attacker-side damage calculation is done before armor, so armor cannot have an effect on it (heck, Damage-based-On is calculated before even Increased Damage). Vulnerability increases Physical Damage taken on the defender side, at which point Hatred's damage bonus is Cold. Cold is not Physical damage. Vulnerability is the best Curse for Puncture, and very useful for Poison Arrow and Viper Strike. It'd be really good against General Gravicious, who has a ton of Energy Shield; gives you more time to react and if ES Regen does kick it, it's much less powerful. It's useful on medium-speed attackers for the flat Stun chance. I don't see how Cold damage being unaffected by Vuln makes it "tremendously underpowered". It's not The Best Curse (TM), but it has its uses. Last edited by Vipermagi#0984 on Apr 22, 2013, 10:05:08 PM

Personally, I don't really care whether certain curses are OP or UP. My point is that with even a marginal amount of speccing, there is a lot of elemental damage that your character can do in relation to your physical damage, without diminishing any of your physical damage.

I seem to be missing something ... I cannot use Hatred AND Purity together. IS that intended?
Currently I am a 69 Minion Witch. As loot I found Hatred and thought i'd give it a whirl. However, after being unable to switch Hatred on, I disabled my other auras (Vitality, Discipline and Purity) then enabled one after another. I was able to figure out that Purity and Hatred are apparently enemies. I can use Hatred and Purity with any other Aura I have, however, just not with each other. Is this working as intended? -Me |
