Mechanical Questions Thread

So dominating blow does not dominate breach enemies. Why is this the case? The fundamental point is to build an army, and considering breaches can spawn A LOT of enemies that can potentially overwhelm you, why wouldn't the core mechanic of the skill be allowed to work? I can dominate perandus chest enemies (because that doesn't feel like cheating at all considering how strong they can be) and use them against the chest and depending on duration a large portion of the map. Why not breaches? Would you consider changing this mechanic? (at least for normal breach enemies, rare ones can get rather OP with the skills they popout)

Does Scold's Bridle with a melee skill linked to Blood Magic still makes you take physical damage? Because my old standard character has a problem where I don't take any damage from Scold's Bridle since the Legacy League was launched.

This should ideally have been in patch notes, but appears to have been missed. The Mod on Scolds has changed to care about the amount of Mana spent, not the Mana Cost of the skill. This will mean it doesn't work unless you actually spend mana.

Hi, Mark. I using new unique The Baron too.

Dear Mark_GGG,

currently i'm playing a shapnelshot raider and i stumbled upon some issues. Sadly I whas not able to find enough information online.
First of all I really want to know if the cone of shrapnelshot hits for pure lightning damage or is 60% phys and 40% lightning. Second I would like to know how to actually determin the damage of the cone, as far as I understand it the tooltip dps only displays the fired projectile, but since im using the cone for damage and clearing maps, i really would like to know how the fired projectile and the cone damage is connected.

I coudlnt find anything about this on the internet, so i'm really hoping for you to enlighten me. Sorry for the bad english and greets from germany.

Hi everyone, I'd like to know if skill tree nodes like Leadership or similar (% increased radius of aura skills) do affect the radius of curses linked to Blasphemy. Thank you!

I have a question regarding flask charges. What is the interaction between pathfinder master surgeon ascendency, surgeon's flask (prefix), increased flask charges gained/increased charge recovery stats?

For example, if I have a surgeon's quicksilver flask with 100% increased flask charges gained from my equipment, I would gain 1 charge from flask mod, 1 charge from PF ascendency, and times by 2 with increased flask charge which totals to 4 gained from 1 crit?

Hi!

I have a simple question:

I'm using tornado shot and trying out drillneck, but I didn't commit any pierce chance yet (except for the quiver itself).

I want to know: is the dps tooltip already including the 50% projectile damage? (since the first form of the skill has 100% projectile piercing)

Thank you!

Mat

hey guys does anyone know when the status ailment takes effect on the monster in terms of damage calculation with shock for example, is it before or after the hit of damage?
