Mechanical Questions Thread

Hello, Mark.

I was advised by Rachel to ask my question here: "Where I can find notes for PoE's default item filter, like meaning of the color, why some items are not shown, why other are shown, meaning of sound, borders, etc.?"

Best regards.

I am using Ancestral Warchief and am trying to add support gems to support but the no extra damage shows up on several support gems. I have tried melee damage on full life support, added fire damage, and added lightning damage, and none of them show any additional damage. Is this a problem in reporting of the damage stats, or are actually for some reason not adding damage?

Where are you looking for the change in stats? Mousing over the active skill gem doesn't work; that's not where everything is added up.

"Tooltip DPS" sometimes has problems, but they should be showing changes from those support gems just fine. There are two ways you can find tooltip dps: mousing over the skill icon in the lower right part of the screen where you assign skills to hotkeys, or pressing C, then clicking the skill icon of the skill you want to check, making sure the Offense tab is active.

On the Ancestral Warchief damage stats before posting I had looked in both places you suggested and didn't see any changes in the damage or DPS stats.

That's quite strange, because the tooltip accurately updated for similar support gems for me the last time I played.

Are you sure those supports are in sockets linked to Ancestral Warchief? They should be in the same item, with unbroken golden lines ("links") between the sockets containing everything that you're linking up.

Is it possible you have 2+ different Warchief gems and you're checking the icon for the wrong one?

nothing here, already solved my problem

Ancestral Warchief: Yes, I double and triple checked all the things you mentioned when I was having the problem. But SURPRISE! I just now checked and its working now. Must have been some glitch previously because I haven't changed anything since I had the problem. Soooo ... nevermind.

Ancestral Warchief MORE: OK, this is getting weirder. I am actually using WarChief on 3 characters in Breach, and on 2 of them it works. But on 1 I found it doesn't work adding support gems and getting them to show in the stats. The only difference I can maybe point to in the character where it doesn't work is that I am using dual claws for weapons. I am wondering if there is some restriction on weapon type for WarChief that is not stated or that I haven't seen.

I played a Maze of the Minotaur map yesterday, none of the mods empowered the boss or increased physical damage against the players and with my support character I got killed by a single falling rock (25,000 Armor and 16,000 Energyshield after I used a vaal Discipline).

So I asked some other people about this and most of them confirmed to me that the rocks tend to completely ignore Armor, is that true? Is it a bug? I just can't explain it otherwise, being onehit by the damage I'm most protected against with an unusually high effective Hitpoint pool.

Hello I am new to the game and wanted to know if it's true, that opening an unidentified Strong-Box grants 30% more quantity than identified boxes?


Thanks for the help.
