Mechanical Questions Thread

Awakened Added elemental gems and auras? How it work? They boost the level of same element gem auras? Or the level boost will work only for active gems?
Vaal burning arrow doesnt seem to apply the debuff that normal BA does, Is this intended or a bug?

I'm having a mechanics problem.

I have Cyclone set up on both my LMB and Spacebar. This allows me to move via the LMB, but start Cyclone with the spacebar and continue it's attack while moving.

This was working just fine until I upgraded to a new weapon with more sockets. I used to have Cyclone socketed in my boots with Cyclone + Infused Channeling Support + Life Gain on Hit Support. Now it's in the weapon with an additional + Faster Attacks Support.

Now when I start an attack by pressing AND holding Spacebar with the LMB it starts working. While running I press the RMB for Punishment or T for Rallying Cry for their buffs. If that's all I do it seems to continue okay.

However, if I lift either the Spacebar or LMB it resets as expected. Then when I resume it cycles through the skills bar icons blinking and stops the attacks. It seems to use the Default attack instead.

I've attached a short 30 second video. Pay attention to the skill bar icons as you get about 1/2 way through. You'll start to see them blink and my attacks will stop.

I tried removing the added = Faster Attacks Support but it didn't make any difference.

I'm new and have no idea what I'm doing wrong here.

You are running out of mana. When you run out of mana your channeling skills will stop and you will start hitting with the base attack.
Does the @Killed Enemies Explode, dealing 3% of their Life as Physical Damage@ work with DoT skills like toxic rain, caustic arrow?
Skills that hit with both hands (Like EQ or dual strike) and how they work while dual wielding with "Outmatch and Outlast". I've checked a few forum threads from a few years ago that say it just counts as MH hits, is that still the case?
Hello! I was wondering if Tailwind affects the projectile frequency of Winter Orb, I know it affects the cast-rate but it doesnt seem to affect the projectile frequency
I think i found a bug. I killed sirus and he dropped a unique watcher stone which can be used 22 times. So i put the stone instead of blue one. But conqueror only came out twice during 22 times. then unique watcher stone disappeared. To meet the conqueror, need 4 stones in that area. But I cant put the blue one in that place where the unique stone was. Because when map area is colored, stone place disappear. So now, there is only 3 stones in conqueror's area. I cant change anything and proceed endgame. please answer to this (Im not good at English sry)

Hi everybody,
I have a question about the new ailment system. It was stated in the 3.9 patch notes that the new magnitude for shock and chill are now calculated based on this formula: 1/2*[Damage % of Ailment Threshold]^0.4. But they didn't say anything about what is the value of that threshold for important bosses like Shaper, Elder, the new Atlas bosses. I would like to know, if anyone here found it perhaps by datamining, what are those numbers for those bosses. Would be nice if Mark stepped in with the information.

Thanks in advance!

In addition to these changes, we've changed non-damaging ailments to care about an Ailment Threshold when applying an effect, instead of the target's maximum life. For many monsters, the Ailment Threshold and the monster's life will be the same, but very high health targets like map bosses and end-game bosses will now have a significantly lower Ailment Threshold than they do life. This should make shocking or chilling the Shaper much easier, as you'll be applying the effect as if they had approximately half the life they have now.


I would also like to know if that means shaper, which had ~18 000 000 life before, would have an ailment threshold of ~9 000 000 (half of 18m) or ~32 000 000 (half of buffed ~64 000 000 shaper life)
