Gameplay Help and Discussion - Kintsugi + Wind Dancer = ? - Forum

Do Kintsugi's and Wind Dancer's defense bonuses add up? Kintsugi: " (...) 20% less Damage taken if you have not been Hit Recently 50% increased Evasion Rating if you have been Hit Recently Wind Dancer: " 20% less Damage taken if you haven't been Hit Recently 40% less Evasion Rating if you haven't been Hit Recently 20% more Evasion Rating if you've been Hit Recently 40 % less damage taken sounds huge... and I might feel like giving this raider build a try in Harvest. My zombie necromancer needs a helping hand with Acid Caverns ;) What about fortify? " 20% less damage taken Would it add up as well? Sounds too good to be true... (BTW, I asked the same question in the ranger forum, but didn't get an answer. Sorry for double posting.) Overwhelmed by Path of Exile?

They don't add up as those are "less damage taken" effects, means they are multiplied. I.e it's X0,80,80,8 instead of X(1-0,2-0,2-0,2) But nonetheless, putting all of them together on one build will help greatly with survival. Kintsugi + Winddancer is a well known defense combo because of that. Last edited by Baharoth15#0429 on Jul 15, 2020, 2:35:03 PM	Posted by Baharoth15#0429 on Jul 15, 2020, 2:34:25 PM Quote this Post

Does "damage" refer to any kind of damage, physical, elemental and chaos? Overwhelmed by Path of Exile? You might want to have a look at Wrecker_of_Days' beginner-friendly guides.

I didn't knew about this interaction with the Less Damage even with same condition. Thank you. Yes, "damage" is any damage, minus Darkness. Darkness' damage can only be lowered by darkness resistance, and nothing else. And there's something more to add: Less Damage Taken if you've not been hit recently means that pretty much all DoTs (yes, even that fire DoT from Heart of the Grove that is all the rage nowadays) will be lowered, as long you have not been hit in the last 4 seconds	Posted by Maxtrux#0762 on Jul 15, 2020, 3:22:51 PM Quote this Post

That sounds awesome. I would not have dared to hope that there is also protection against damage over time. I really cannot understand why no guide ever mentions this armour...
