Is Einhar Frey planning to visit Standard server? If yes - how soon?

About the Assasin node "Noxius Strike", and the poison duration part specifically.

The wording I saw in image previews used to be:
"5% increased duration per poison applied recently"

So I assumed it would work with totems.

Now in game I see the wording has changed to:
"5% increased duration per poison you have inflicted recently"

So does this work for totems now?


I have made some tests (both self attacking and with totem) in game on some legendary beasts which have plenty of HP, but I can't say for sure if it works or not.

Thanks

Does Gloomfang hit energy shield or will it hit your life with full energy shield?

Gloomfang doesn’t deal damage; it very specifically removes Life from your character.

Energy Shield protects your character from damage, but isn’t technically Life.

I am using a build that calls for Elemental Weakness > Curse on Hit > Arcane Surge. ( I have these 3 linked together on a helm. 1. Will this even work? 2. It calls for orb of storms also which I have on the helm unlinked..not that that makes a difference, I think he just had it there because no where else to run it.

I can't see how this will work..and when testing it does not. Just want to find out if I am doing something wrong b4 I pm the one that wrote the build. Thx

It won't work.

Curse on hit needs to be linked to both a spell that deals damage and a curse to work, and that's not the case here, so it is totally useless here.

Arcane surge needs you to spend mana with a linked skill, so you could probably trigger it by casting Elemental weakness manually, but the mana cost of the curse won't allow you to run a high level Arcane surge.

There's no way it will do anything if you don't cast the curse yourself, and even if you do the Curse on hit gem is just plain useless.

Perhaps the author of the guide had in mind that you would link this to a damage spell that you would cast often enough to trigger Arcane Surge : that way, you would indeed curse when casting that spell, and you would profit from the Arcane surge buff.
