"Our solution is that Essences will ignore master metamods when rolling an item." Development Post. Using the Envy Essence is still a good idea, you just need to also hit a life mod, or an open Prefix to craft life. And just to directly answer the question, yes the %Chaos damage from the Essence works just like the %Chaos damage from jewels. Hm Ziggy did it this way. he showed a item craft with prefixes cannot be changed and the essence did not change the life roll?! I will try it and write then Had a chance to try this Ichbin? As Chrono's post says, this would be extremely powerful if it works.	Posted by hankinsohl#1231 on Oct 9, 2016, 1:04:23 AM Quote this Post
I'm honestly thinking we're just not getting all the information here. Got a link to a video of it? Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018.	Posted by Serleth#4392 on Oct 9, 2016, 2:03:30 AM Quote this Post

After reading the development manifesto and watching Ziggy's youtube on essence crafting what I think happened is that Ziggy tried metacrafting with essences during beta but that it was subsequently removed on final release.

Hank came to the same conclusion I did. I was hoping for a link to the video Ichbin was talking about to check post date, to see if it was before or after the Dev post.	Posted by ChronoExile#0033 on Oct 9, 2016, 6:49:52 PM Quote this Post

Hello! I like this build and the way you explain everything. But looking a bit at the tree i've got a question. May be somebody asked it before, hard to say with 490+ pages :P. Why do we take projectile damage from ranger start? We could take instead physical and chaos damage from the shadow start, which shall give us more damage (and place one point in evasion and life for ranger start).

We could take instead physical and chaos damage from the shadow start, which shall give us more damage (and place one point in evasion and life for ranger start). Mathematically there is zero difference in damage scaling for the chaos cloud between the 5 damage nodes taken at the ranger start versus the 5 damage nodes at the shadow start. This build does not scale phys damage. Physical damage only scales the initial hit, and has no effect on the cloud. Chaos and Projectile damage scale the cloud with the same effectiveness, so you are really looking at 56% damage and 4% increased Attack Speed versus 56% damage and 14 Life.
