It seems to you and some here. Did I write anything about Blind, that it is a problem ??

Blind was cited as an example of changing all Asscendacy throwing defense and changing to attack only. In accordance with the topic.

And you clung to Blind like a drunkard to a fence. Besides, some people have some kind of ego problem. If you do not understand the question, do not answer and keep your knowledge of PoE to yourself...

And I'm not replying to everyone either, because I don't want to reply to nonsense, especially if someone replies off-topic, or brags about what a big attack they had.

Proximity Cloak of Flame plus real Cloak of flame for 40% phys as fire or 90% of near phys as fire,

Just a small note here, iirc those mods are not additive, but multiplicative. You don't get 90%. You get a LOT less.

The damage of the mob is modified first, getting cut in half, and then you take the physical half and convert on your damage taken.

To illustrate the difference, if they were additive, the math is straightforward.
Example 100 phys dmg hit, 90% converted to fire, meaning 10 physical damage done to you. 90% phys dmg reduction.

By combining the mods, you instead get this:
100 phys dmg on the mob, split 50/50. So you take a 50 phys damage hit.
50 phys dmg through cloak of flame, 40% taken as fire (20 dmg) meaning you take 30 phys dmg hit. That's three times as much as if they were additive. It ends up as 70% phys dmg reduction. You only got 20% from CoF instead of the 40%.

Basically, cloak of flame (or any conversion on you) becomes 50% less effective, because you've already converted 50% of the mob's damage.
Sure, you're still reducing the hit, but it's not by nearly as much.

Dude dreamcore has a nice vid on Bloodmag... er Bogwitch (he totally stole my Ancetral commander ideas BTW...*) Life stacking Bogwitch seems extremely HC viable as well.

I can't see past ele tornadoes lately and that max life as phys node is essentially multiplied by your number of tornadoes and then multiplied by their duration, then Rathpith scaling off the same life you're getting flat from.

there's a reason why archmage stuff don't work with orbs and they then put an orb tag on the nado's

Its funny how cautious they are with the Gruthkul's no spells stuff but they're completely okay with 20,000 life Bog Witch scaling life and flat and increased and crit with no real downside.

If Bog witch was a marauder ascendancy it would have a mandatory first node that says "you can only deal damage with unsupported skills" or some shit.
