Mechanical Questions Thread

Hello,
Are not there any ways to farm vaal side areas in maps? I wanted to complete challenge but found that it's not only random related to spawn vaal side area on a map, but also random loot from vessels. I checked out that Hidden Vaal Pathways should work, but nothing happens when i enter the map. So how to spawn vaal side areas on maps?
Thank you in advance!

Hey there,
I have a question, it is about ball lightning + unleash support gem.

When we're using BL with spell echo, confirmed that the second cast count as separate cast, therefore, the single enemy can benefit 2 strikes every 0.150ms from both balls if he is in a strike range. However, I can't find information about how to count casts of the unleash support.

So, basically, if I shot a rapid session of BL with 3 projectiles, will they count as separate casts or as a single? And will the balls share a 0.15 cooldown from hitting a single target if they all in a target range? Or they will "shot-gunning" the enemy?

I mean, if I unleash my 3 seals (3 projectiles) to the single target when all of 3 projectiles will be in a hit range, will they hit the enemy 3 times in a single 0.150ms time, or only one ball will hit in that period of time?

I hope you'll understand me and thank you for the answer.

Would Badge of the Brotherhood (a Blight unique) be chanceable in a map with the Blight map device modifier? Trying to get a shaped one.
I havn't seen any concrete evidence on if its drop restricted to the blight chests or just league specific.

According to both poedb and the wiki, it's just blight-specific, which means being in a map opened with a blight zana craft alone should work just fine.

Why does my Dread Banner not show along my list of skills when active?

It takes away from my mana reservation but I don't get the buff?

Is my character bugged...

Hi,

I put on the unique gluttony belt (156 damage when using a movement skill, you have no armor or energy shield) and valyrium ring ( stun threashold set to ES). This set my max ES of 0 and stun threashold to ES 0. Why could I not stun myself using shield charge. Is there a mechanical issue with this gear combo or is it working as designed and I'm missing something?

PS: My ES before putting the belt on was 80. After having the belt on I still showed 7% physical damage reduction without endurence charges.

Hello,

In regards to fleeing mechanics, can a monster still be considered "fleeing" if it dies in 1 hit? Or does a monster need to be alive for at least 2 hits that would inflict fleeing for it to be considered "fleeing"?

Hello there.
According to similar mechanics, i believe killing the monster right away would trigger mods such as "xxx when you make a monster flee", however, since the monster ceases to exist at the same time, mods such as "xxx on|to|against fleeing monsters" would never be in effect, since the actual fleeing duration is zero.

Hello,

Im looking at the chieftain ascendency tawoha, forest's strength and wanted to know if I have a 100% phys to fire conversion do you get the 5% phys dmg increase per endurance charge and the 5% fire or just the fire? also along the same line does the increase to melee phys damage from strength still apply when you have 100% phys to fire conversion?

Converted damage is affected by modifiers to both the original and final damage types (as well as any damage types it was converted through). So yes, Physical damage converted to Fire will benefit from both modifiers, as well as the Melee Physical damage bonus from Strength.

Hits against yourself can't apply on-hit effects, such as stun. They also can't be critical strikes.
