Ranger - [1.0.3] Evantis's Poison arrow build: 4978 chaos damage per second - Forum

Nice build. I'm thinking of trying it out. Big question though, you say "Item rarity ... started working with Damage over time too". When was that bug fixed? Any patch notes? Thanks!	Posted by ljlevend#2135 on Dec 11, 2013, 6:33:36 PM Quote this Post
Empower does not boost support skill gem level - only active skills. Also, I'm almost certain Projectile Weakness does not scale the Poison Cloud, even with the changes. I don't think Iron Grip works either. It's quite counter-intuitive, but if I recall correct, that's how it is.

Completely shits on the DPS of every other spec out there! You aren't showing a build, you're adding up every offensive node on the tree. ._. Theorycrafting max damage is fine, but what exactly is the point of coming into someone else's build thread to show how your completely unviable build has higher DPS?

Theorycrafting max damage is fine, but what exactly is the point of coming into someone else's build thread to show how your completely unviable build has higher DPS? I'm not dissing evantis' build just because it didn't have the highest dps, quite the contrary. It was only to show a proof of concept to see the absolute max potential (even if unviable) of the skill. It just followed because i did mention earlier that there may be a better option to boost damage via trap/mine support and passives, if you would like to incorporate SOME (read: not all because it will be non-viable) of the damage passives in the tree i posted above to squeeze a bit more damage out of PA without detracting from the original tankiness of OP's build. I would rather sound more arrogant if i said "dude i calculated on my own that i can reach 11k cloud dps" and didn't show any supporting evidence don't you think? oh and point blank works for projectile attacks only, the cloud wouldn't get the bonus if we go by the iron grip logic Cuddles' DoT trapper build: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/683322 Last edited by Cuddlepaws#1291 on Dec 11, 2013, 8:28:40 PM	Posted by Cuddlepaws#1291 on Dec 11, 2013, 8:21:30 PM Quote this Post

"The damage bonus of strength normally applies only to Melee Physical Damage. This gem causes strength's physical damage bonus to also apply to projectile attacks made with the supported skills. Only physical damage dealt by the projectile will be increased." http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Iron_Grip_%28support_gem%29 Could be out of date. In addition, Empower boosts only Active skill levels, not support skills. Thank you, updated calculations (21 level instead of 20 because of the Bow adds +1 to all gems). About Iron grip, it's an info from 18 February 2013 and I'm not sure if it's still correct. " Big question though, you say "Item rarity ... started working with Damage over time too". When was that bug fixed? Any patch notes? I was sure it was mentioned in 1.0.2 patch notes or on reddit, but I can't find it. So if it still does not work, I think it will be just another "fun to level up build" :( IGN @Ostropalca Last edited by Evantis#3706 on Dec 12, 2013, 2:49:48 AM	Posted by Evantis#3706 on Dec 12, 2013, 2:38:25 AM Banned Quote this Post

Probably safe to assume the gem applies the same effect as the keystone passive, in which case it will not affect PA.	Posted by Boruko#2555 on Dec 12, 2013, 4:49:08 AM Quote this Post
