How Chaos Inucation is working?
I have currently about 400 life + 70 energy shield. If i would take this skill i should have 1 life with 70 ES,so tottaly 71 "life"? What is the best way to improve the ES? Thanks in advance for the clarification. Ing:Ponfer

" CI makes you immune to chaos damage, but makes your life "1". Hence, you can only take damage equal to your Energy Shield before dying. To improve your ES you need : - ES on gear (circlet / chest / shield / gloves / boots) - ES nodes (+X % increased maximum Energy Shield) Note that the nodes behind CI grant a total of 18% increased ES, and the last node is "More" ES, meaning it's 12% on top of the rest. 1000 ES from gear + 100 % increased + 12% more = (1000 + 1000) * 1.12 = 2240 ES I didn't factor intelligence here, but it works like increased ES too (I believe it's 1% ES per 5 int).

" So if i understood well at the moment if i would take the CI i will bet after the 71 "life"? So i should die in every minutes :D What do you think in which level should i take the CI? I guess it will be aftre when i will have minimum 1000 ES on the pocket.Am i right? Ing:Ponfer Last edited by spider81 on Oct 31, 2013, 5:17:37 AM

I usually make the switch around level 40/45 (Act 2 cruel) with roughly 1k / 1k5 ES. That's probably not the best idea ever though.

" Okay thanks,i will do like this! I am atm only lvl 21 in normal act2. 1000 ES from armor means that 1000% increase ES? Ing:Ponfer Last edited by spider81 on Oct 31, 2013, 5:21:19 AM

No, it means "1.000" energy shield. Like 1.000 life.

" First of all sorry for the lot of question,but i am coming form the "psyhical dmg" characters world and this ES calculation is not totally clear for me and i juts learning the new side of the world :). On your gear i only saw +ES on your hat and thats all....also i think to collect purely 1000 ES from circlet / chest / shield / gloves / boots it is a lot! It means + 200 pure ES / armor piece. Thanks in advance for your clarification. Ing:Ponfer

" A lot of "physcal dmg" characters use ES with CI :) But basically, there are two types of ES bonuses on most items: flat and percentage. Flat adds to the base ES of the given item, and then this "sum" gets multiplied by your ES modifiers from passives/other sources AND the percentage bonus on the item (this is also additive). So, if you have an item with a base ES of 100, and you have a flat mod with the bonus of 50, and a percentage one with 25%, and you have 32% from passives, the ES that this item will grant you: ( 100 + 50 ) * ( 1.0 + 0.25 + 0.32 ) = 235.5 Now if you have CI, since it the 12% bonus is MORE, it multiplies this total by 1.12, so with CI it would look like: ( ( 100 + 50 ) * ( 1.0 + 0.25 + 0.32 ) ) * 1.12 = 263.76 Hope this kinda clarifies things.

Why not go for iron reflexes on this build?

" Thanks a lot Mate for the clarification,but still do not see how i will find items with 100+ ES + a good % of modifier. However i am bit afraid about the survibility of the low ES on Merciless. Ing:Ponfer
