Hi, can you add the stun duration formula to the original stun info? We were wondering how exactly the times go in relation to stun recovery and stun duration. I would even write it down here but I bet I would mess up so...

i think it's wort mentioning that iiq and iir from gems don't work with dot attacks like poison arrow or viper strike if monsters are killed by the poison.

in difference iiq and iir from gear both do work with these attack types.

reference www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/53644

dissapointing exp from my point of view after grinding a whole month with a poison archer and spending 2 slots on the 5 linked bow for these gems. could have used these slots for recuced mana or more area effect and get definitely more out of it.

Thanks guys, I've updated the OP with that information.
thx alot, malice

it's not really related to game mechanics but i think it may improve the article if you would list all used abbreviations for people like me who see them as a form of lazy elite speak which prevents newbies from understanding the discussions. Although i often use them myself cause i'm lazy :-)

one could to start with:

aoe - area of effect
apd - added physical damage
cs - culling strike
dot - damage over time
es - energy shield
ew - elemental weakness
gmp - greater multiple projects
iiq - increased item quantity
iir - increased item rarity
ipd - increased physical damage
lmp - lesser multiple projects
ls - leap slam
mf - magic find, aka iir
tc - temporal chains

i nailed them on my monitor.

Say I have elemental proliferation on shock nova and one wave of the nova hits two enemies at once they both get shocked from that initial wave. Does proliferation stack an extra stack of shock on both or a skill can only give one stack per cast ignoring proliferation?

proliferation has its own AoE centered at each foe that was affected by a status effect, they were simply close enough to have each others debuffs.

Thanks for this. I believe I'm one of those newbies who find the abbreviations, at times, difficult to fathom. I'm sure a full glossary would be of benefit...
So...much...info...

LOVE IT!

Thanks for the guide!

Edit: Actually found this thread while looking for answers to a crafting question.

Would love to see a section on crafting (or does it already exist somewhere?). Tried searching but didn't turn up anything as detailed.

The question was specifically about the chance of chromatic orbs giving a socket colour related to the base item type (blue for int-type, green for dex-type).

Invalesco recently started a new thread that does a pretty good job here.
