Gameplay Help and Discussion - Mechanics thread - Forum

Thx for your answers! And another last one: I have 2 sets of weapons. lets say 2 wands (+spelldmg) and 2 daggers (+critchacne). I cast now a fireball while having 2 wands equiped, change the set of weapons while the fireball is on its way, what appllies when the fireball detonates? The crit chance of the dagger sets (which is active now) or the boni of the wand (which were active at the momenti was casting the ability)? With traps it should be analoughe? I guess it counts the equipmet which was used to cast the spell, no? Last edited by WUlf1337 on Feb 25, 2013, 9:35:40 AM	Posted by WUlf1337 on Feb 25, 2013, 9:34:06 AM Quote this Post
Do totems get bonus from your passives? Like Static Blows? Or Elemental Equilibrium? I was sure they did (I know zombies and skeletons don't), but someone told me they don't so I am not sure now :D Last edited by Torin on Feb 25, 2013, 12:15:14 PM	Posted by Torin on Feb 25, 2013, 12:14:16 PM Quote this Post

Zombies and Skel use theirs own stats so they don't trigger these boni. Last edited by Kissan on Feb 25, 2013, 1:01:13 PM	Posted by Kissan on Feb 25, 2013, 1:00:29 PM Quote this Post

You cast spells, attack with attacks and lay mines/traps. That's completely contrary to my in-game evidence. How about you stop regurgitating useless info?

I have a question regarding the three Buff Duration nodes near the Resolute Technique keystone: Does it affect elemental ailments like burning or chilled? I think it does, but I wanted to get sure because you can't check it anywhere in the character tab. Thx	Posted by qrft on Feb 25, 2013, 2:13:22 PM Quote this Post
They're Status Ailments; not Buffs.	Posted by Vipermagi on Feb 25, 2013, 2:49:14 PM Valued Poster Quote this Post

Laying traps is affected by trap laying speed, and completely unaffected by cast speed. When a trap triggers, if the trapped skill is a spell, cast speed will affect how fast the trap casts the spell.	Posted by Mark_GGG on Feb 25, 2013, 4:41:02 PM Grinding Gear Games Quote this Post

Perhaps a tooltip error?	Posted by Freekee on Feb 25, 2013, 6:23:10 PM Quote this Post
