There's another 3% Buff Effect node, near the Templar Aura nodes. You're welcome.

you will have to be more specific than 'near the Templar aura passive nodes'. besides the sovereignty circle, there are no nodes near Templar that provide a buff effect besides inner force.

p.s. don't be arrogant. your not better than anyone else even if you found a 3% buff node hiding somewhere on the passive tree.

It's part of a big life node that also gives strength I think.

If you're trying to get your resists up so you can use Righteous Fire, those buff nodes aren't going to help you since they will also increase the amount you burn yourself.

I'll probably never have a level 26 purity, buti agree it should give 6 max resist.

The web passive tree has a search function.

Thanks, I will continue the search. Also, they patched the buff effects so that your bonus' to burn damage, fire damage and other buffs only increase the burn against enemies, not yourself.


** Edit: I did indeed find the Holy Strength node to have a +3% effect of buffs on you. along with the 8% life and 20 str. **

Now, if only it were practical to get all of the aura effect nodes along with all of the life nodes/ life regeneration nodes you need to make the build work . anyone got a build idea that allows us to get all of the aura effect nodes, buff nodes and 260%+ life from the tree?

Math can be fun even when it is accurate but misleading.

I'm not sure what's misleading about this.

Let's say you get hit by 1k of elemental damage. With 75% resist you take 250 damage.

With 80% resist you take 200 damage.

That's 20% less damage.

The game is balanced assuming players ma9intain max resists.

You are wrong about buff nodes not increasing burn damage to yourself. They did change it so that increased fire damage and increased burning damage didn't increase the self burn, but buffs are a different story entirely.

Really? That is interesting, since I have inner focus and the 3% node from holy strength on my rf build, and I don't notice a 24% increase in the burning damage that I take. Can you prove this? Because it doesn't seem likely since I can't notice the difference.

it is increase the self dmg, as chris from ggg said, if u want search for it

Prove it beyond the two links I provided? No. I haven't tested it myself. But I take GGGs word for it.

QFT. Every 1% higher you go, the benefits increase, and increase rapidly.

Lets say you get 90% fire. 5% more means 95% which is a 50% reduction in damage from 90%. which is already enormously defensive and only taking 40% of the normal 75%

so in essence, if you got 90, you take 40$ normal damage, and 95% resist means you take 20% normal damage.
