Good day, I was trying out Hatred aura for Summon Raging Spirit build and the bonus damage doesn't get included in the DPS calculation. I was checking gamepedia for this build http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Summon_Raging_Spirit and it said hatred does increase the damage of spirits. But everytime I activate it the DPS does not increase. Does this mean the bonus damage is hidden or is this a bug? Thanks!	Posted by callalistah16#0082 on Sep 16, 2016, 5:27:13 PM Quote this Post
Hey there, Could you tell me a bit about the cyclone? What I'd like to know is about the reset time, does the ratio between my reset time( the time it takes to arrive to my goal on a 10 unit cyclone) and my aps affect my dps if I hold down the skill. In other words, if I arrive at the 10 unit every 0.3 second and hit every 0.2 second will I lose out on dps compared to 0.3 second travel 0.15second attack/second. For dps counting purposes this would be interesting for me. Also is there anything I should account for besides this on cyclone dps calculations. Also what is the base movement speed in units/second, my extremely rough guess was 36, but now I'm intrigued.	Posted by KillerB#6855 on Sep 16, 2016, 6:26:02 PM Quote this Post
I have a problem and I'm quite confused. I'm running Elemental Equilibrium on my build. I currently use: All is fine with my old setup, I hit things they resist cold, vulnerable to fire and lightning... as soon as I upgraded my belt and weapon to: My EE resists fire + cold and is immune to lightning. I take them off and it goes back to being vulnerable to fire. The only thing I can think why this is happening is the increased fire damage % but if that's the case why the hell does my Kaom's not make it resist fire?

My question is in regards to the "Increased X damage taken" mod found on Abyssus and The Beast Fur Shawl It is my understanding that the "Increased Physical Damage Taken" mod on Abyssus (and also the mod on Beast Fur Shawl) "double dips" on the bleed damage you take. First by scaling the initial hit, then again by scaling the (already scaled) bleed damage taken. Is this a correct assumption? Further, does the "Increased Damage Taken" mod on Beast Fur Shawl also scale other degen damage taken? For instance, would I take increased chaos damage from something like the Caustic Cloud box mod, or poison zombie clouds?	Posted by Sublimeasaurus#1733 on Sep 17, 2016, 1:06:03 PM Quote this Post
