Probably this is a stupid question, but why does Less Duration (29% more dmg) give more dmg than Increased Burning Damage (59% increased Burning Damage)?

lets say we have a big amount of increased damage with out gear, gems and skilltree (fire, ele, burning, area)... 590% all together which are additive.

a inc burning damage gem (59%)would result in 10% more damage, because its additive. to it. less duration is still 29% more damage, because its multiplicative to the increase modifier.

lets say we deal 1000 dmg per sec.

1000 x 5.90 = 5900 dmg (base)
1000 x 6.49 = 6490 dmg (burn dmg gem)
1000 x 5.9 x 1.29 = 7611 (less dur)

editb: or was it 6.9...math while shopping :p you get the point

Actually the best part of this thread is Milkyslice have explained a lot about rf totems and the people have contribute with different builds and ideas, is cool see how the people are playing and enjoying their chars.

Yes thats what i am often talking about in the guide: There is not a BEST way to skill, gear and use gems for EVERY situation for every league and every playstyle.

I just posted MY version, which is in my opinion pretty solid for everything, but i will never say its the BEST for everything ;)

For me the most important thing with a guide is that people understand the mechanics behind it, learn them and learn to use those themself :)

Hey guys i have newb question. Does RF scale with 2 traps? I Mean should i place 2 totems in same place to do better dmg or it wont work? Thanks for answer.

Overlapping RF doesn't stack.

Use the second totem to cover more area.

Wtf Milky, you are getting famous by this as fuck :D !

wat? :D

So I have a question... with what would you do more damage (I'm talking about RF totems, obviously), with a Increased Burning Damage gem or a Rapid Decay gem? I don't really like Rapid Decay 'cause it reduces the duration of my totem, so I was wondering maybe I could change it with the IBD gem... but that mainly depends on the damage scaling.


And yes, I have a 5L. Can't have both :P

rapid decay, by far.

its only 15% duration on every level, you shouldnt notce it at all. The penity is not as high as the one of reduce duration gem

i would only use the burning dmg gem in that case if i am really low on chromes amd dont have the green socket

I knew it! Rapid Decay it is then... what a shame that this gem has a penalty like that. It would be much better without it. Not that I'm complaining, I like damage :P

its such a small penality that i dont even see it as one :D
