Mechanical Questions Thread

I was faced with such a problem - I wear Cospri's Will and use 2 skills supported by Item Rarity Support (Essence Drain + ... + IR and Abyssal Cry + ... + Void Manipulation + IR) at one point I realized that I have no idea how it works/interact. 


From this I can conclude that:
1) If i kill enemy via Abyssal Cry explosion, loot from him will affected by IR gem, right?
2) If i kill enemy via poison (sorce of poison - Cospri's Will) from Abyssal Cry explosion, loot from him will affected only by IR from my gear, right?

But still have few question: 
3) If I replace in Abyssal Cry setup Void Manipulation to Poison gem but still wear Cospri's Will will it whether it will be fix scenario (IR gem not apply) described above? Or i must use another chest in order to achieve the desired effect?
4) If i kill enemy via Essence Drain (not hit but degen) before poison expire (sorce of poison - Cospri's Will) will be loot affected by IR gem?

P.S. If monster cursed by Enfeeble whether it will doing less damage from Abyssal Cry explosion?

Rapid Decay: Yes, that's literally what it does.
Hypothermia: No. Damage over Time cannot do state-checks on the enemy.

Thanks for the reply. Does it mean Mark_GGG won't answer my question anymore?

I was reading Mark's posts, and found this:

Since cospri's is the item doing the poisoning, and not bladefall, the tooltip for bladefall says nothing about poisoning. Will rapid decay as a 6th link increase the poison dot from Cospri's?

Bladefall cannot be supported by Rapid Decay.

Bladefall can be supported by Rapid Decay IF it is used as a trap or a mine. Which is quite popular way to use the skill. So I’m not sure why this question was answered that way, not touching main part of the question – if effects coming from items are affected by supports linked to the skill that caused said effects. I've seen two instances where someone say that Mark once confirmed, that support gems don't scale effects (like poison) added by items/ascendancies. And I’m just trying to confirm if using the ring over support gem is making my poison weaker (other than 38% increased poison damage and 10% poison duration coming from Poison Support itself).

Does the "Deals 50% of Base Damage" on Shield Charge affect bleed or poison damage? I know it affects the initial hit, but does it double dip onto the bleed/poison?

no.

With proliferation type effects, does the elemental status get affected by modifiers as it spreads, or does it proliferate with the exact same stats. For instance, with emberwake, would the burn damage that proliferates be 80% less than the initial burn damage? I assume beacon of destruction and the prolif gem work the same way?

Can multistrike ignite on each hit, or is there a limit of one ignite per use of the skill per monster.

It does get affected by modifiers
The initial burn gets affected by modifiers. The proliferated burn does the same damage as the initial burn. The modifiers don't 'double dip' on proliferated burn.

Yes it would.
EDIT: I misread this, the initial burn is going to be 80% less, meaning the proliferated burn is also 80% less, but it doesn't happen twice.

Yes they do.

Each hit.

Actually im testing some gladiator build and i noticed my melee totems blow up thing with my Gratuitout Violence gladiator ascendancy node. But it specifically says "Bleeding enemies "you" kill explode" i don't even need touch enemy just when my totems kill them they blow up.

This sheet seems so overpowered so i assume its a bug :x

Hi Mark,

Quick question. Say I decide to use Elemental Hit with Avatar of Fire.

Presuming (for simplicity) that the hits of Ele Hit are in order Fire -> Cold -> Light, what damage and how much will each hit deal?

Will it be:

1) First hits deals fire; the same base dmg as the gem says, nothing more. Second hit does fire (former cold) at half the value of the cold dmg listed on the gem. Third hit does fire (former light) at half the value of the light dmg listed on the gem.

OR

2) First hit does fire dmg as listed on the gem PLUS half the cold PLUS half the light; and all subsequent hits follow the same logic, dealing the full fire plus half and half of the other elements as fire.


Thanks in advance and keep up the good work. :)
