How do multiple on-kill explosions work? For example if I cast Abyssal Cry on a monster then kill it using Infernal Blow, would both explosions occur or only one effect can take place?
What's the difference between helm enchants "30% increase Spectral Throw Projectile Speed" and "30% reduced Spectral Throw Projectile Deceleration", especially when used with the Slower Projectile Support gem? Which one would travel farther? Last edited by sushicide#7320 on Jun 23, 2016, 12:38:33 PM

Question
Freeze duration is based on the amount of damage versus amount of life the target has. If the duration is below a certain threshold it will not freeze. Does this imply that increased freeze duration effectively lowers the amount of damage needed to freeze? regards Kleintje |

Hello Mark! Hope you are doing well.
Does the 39% MORE DOT modifier of Rapid Decay linked to your main non-dot melee skill benefit bleed+poison DOT gained from the Voidheart ring? Or only from a weapon with inherent bleed like the disfavour or Jack the axe?

" Yes, if you can support your melee skill with Rapid Decay, it will also benefit DoTs created by this skill. Last edited by Freeeeez#0285 on Jun 23, 2016, 9:05:05 PM

"No. The buff is only granted to things they hit with melee attacks. "Elemental Conflux is boolean. Damage either does or does not count towards applying a status ailment - you can't increase "does" by 10%. Similarly, it makes all hits apply each status ailment, and you can't increase "applies". It's already having as much effect as it can. "Yes, as they are both "increased" modifiers applying to the same value (the effect of the buff). "No. Onslaught is not itself a buff, it's a bonus that can be granted by a buff (or by other things). A buff granting onslaught is saying "you have onslaught", and this is a boolean thing which cannot be increased. Having the onslaught property grants your character some numerical bonuses, which are what Avatar of the Chase is affecting. "Yes, those are buffs, and one of their effects is dealing damage to the player. "Yes. "increased" modifiers to the same value stack additively. "Rounding is done as is standard in this game, by truncating values to just the integer part. Whether this is favourable or unfavourable depends on what's being rounded and how much of it there is. "Totems are using your skills. Your skills benefit from the bonus when you do. "I don't know what you mean by "acquisition distance". Increasing weapon range will increase the range he can target at. Increasing AoE will increase the size of the AoE slam, and the range it can be targeted at, since the slam is restricted such that the edge of the area must be in range, not the centre. "No. The point of "X damage taken as Y" modifiers is to change what things scale that damage. Increased physical damage taken will only apply to the physical damage you take, not damage of any other type. "Area modifiers affec radius. The volleys are effectively sections along the edge of a large circle. Increasing radius makes them "longer" (more distance from closest to furthest area covered from player). Increasing the "width" is effectivly changing the angle along that circle that's covered, which is not available as a modifier. "Both the spacing and the "length" are increased the same, so the overlapping area is increased as well (but not as much if only the "length" was increased and they kept the same spacing). "Damage taken modifiers affect all damage taken, including from damage over time. However, that damage is not secondary damage. "You are wrong. Damage conversion does not and cannot occur after mitigation. It applies to the damage stats of the item, before they're used to calculate damage for a hit. Armour has no effect on the elemental damage dealt. "It is not random, but due to the way it works, it also cannot be determined that way in advance. This may be possible in future if it gets refactored. "A hit can only apply one instance of each status ailment, and all damage that can contribute to that status ailment does so. "Yes. "No, Icestorm cannot apply status ailments while supported by Elemental Focus. | |

Question about the new unique Hiltless
The unique have the following line on it "Enemies you attack reflect 100 physical damage to you" How exactly is that handled, I'm assuming having high armor reduces the damage since its physical and if we take increased damage like the berserker with Aspect of Carnage the 100 physical dmg will also increase. However what about dodge/evasion can we dodge the damage completely or is it guaranteed to hit us? And just a bonus question, what if we have Lightning Coil the physical part will also be converted to lightning, just like any normal physical attack damage would? What if we convert some physical damage to lightning with our gear is that affected by it at all since it isn't really our own attack or is it? Thank you for taking the time to answer!!

So, Mark!
I was wondering if the new Taunt mechanic (10% less damage taken part) + Decoy Totem helps against Porcupine death needles. My guess is no, with justification as the combination of these two facts, the 1st my guess, and the 2nd one you have confirmed: 1. One effect of the Taunt debuff is the granting of a stat that essentially reads "Deal 10% less Damage to Targets-that-are-not-X" 2. Damage can only be calculated at time of Hit Conclusion. At time of Hit, porcupine is dead and cannot have Taunt debuff, and thus cannot have a deal-less-damage stat. Taunt 10% mitigation is not applied against Porcupine death needles. I'm hoping the conclusion is wrong and Taunt can actually modify the base damage of the death-needle skill itself, allowing it to have less base damage at time of porcupine death, and persist until time of Hit. But that's probably wrong. Similarly, wondering if Taunt mechanic would reduce Volatile Xblood and similar modifiers. My guess would be yes, with justification of same fact 1 above, plus fact 3, which I think you have confirmed: 3. Damage calculation for Volatile Xblood and other on-Death effects is completed before the entity is removed from the game world Conclusion. Having an entity that is not You taunt an enemy with Volatile Xblood will help you take 10% less damage from the explosion if you're near it EDIT: Apologies if these have already been asked and answered somewhere Need game info?

" Radius is an integer value, yes. Tornado Shot's split projectiles are a continuation of the original projectile. 0%. |
