Enki's Arc Witch Memorial Page & POE 2 Arc Summary

So technical question regarding 'Controlled Destruction Support' gem. It states:

Per 1% Quality:
Supported Skills deal 0.5% increased Spell Damage

Supported Skills deal (25-44)% more Spell Damage

What is the difference between these? Is it just two lines of the same modifier to give a use of increasing gem quality? Is there a difference between "increased Spell Damage" and "more Spell Damage"?
Currently running 4k life/7k mana and struggling on surviving to sirius. Any tips? I'm using Cloak of Defiance, should I drop it for a rare one with offerings effect and max life/mana?

Clearspeed in T16 is sensacional and I normally have a good time with the bosses too, only problem is Sirius and hard hits like minotaur and etc. Have plenty of currency to spend, so tips are welcome

4k life is way too low for you to not get one shot by Sirus, try to aim for 5k, just get more life on your gear, and try to max your block chance as much as possible. Remember to use staunching flask immediately after the Die ray so you can tank all they rays and not bleed to death. You can see how tanky this bulid is with 5.3k hp and 7k ish mana be from my A8 sirus video in page 1583

"More" and "Less" are VERY particular and important keywords in PoE.

If I have 2 modifiers that give "+50% increased whatever"
Then I get 50%+50% = +100% effect of whatever.

If I have 2 modifiers that give "+50% MORE whatever"
Then I get 150%*150% = 225%, or +125% effect of whatever.


Anything with the "More" or "Less" keywords is combined together multiplicatively, rather than just adding all the modifiers together.

ADDITIONALLY, if you had 2 of +50% increased, and 2 of +50% MORE, you'd get the result of both MULTIPLIED together, for a grand total of +350% effect of whatever.

Many of us are not taking The Agnostic. Rolling 6B is way cheaper on a pure INT piece.


If not taking Agnostic, is it worth taking 5% max life nodes that are not on drect path in "Constitution/Path of the warrior" cluster ?

Alright thanks for quick answer, appreciate it!

Tried to copycat you in gearing and jewels, however i still find myself getting one-shotted way too often, doing 12+ maps. If you have any idea what might cause it im all ears :)
No problem. You have pretty good life and mana, and near 1M Sirus Dps, i think the reason you are getting one shotted is because your block chance is 51%. So unless you can get increased effect of offerings on your body armor or chance to block attack. You can replace your granite flask with Rumi's Concotion for extra block chance which should increase your survivability. And just keep in mind somethings are suppose to one shot you, just always keep moving, do not stay in the same place for like more than 1.5-2s and you should be fine.
I've been working towards this build for a while now, and I'm finding it very hard to follow the changes that Enki has made to the build. The PoB equipment doesn't match the forum-listed equipment at all, and I'm wondering if I've invested a bunch of currency in items I won't use in order to get the build to work properly now.

For instance, Ungil's Harmony now eliminates critical strike multiplier completely, rather than the PoB's -25% and doesn't Allocate Beef.

The PoB includes 3 Hypnotic Eye Jewels and no Kitava's Thirst.

Which source should we be using? it seems that the changes for 3.11 are causing what was originally what I thought of as the best laid-out guide to become very confusing.
