Support Gem Feedback - Item Rarity - Forum

The new Patch seems to have removed the impact of the gem on casts. I got no enhanced effect any more on Fireball, Firestorm or Arc. I tested some hours now with and without gem, no difference. Can anyone confirm this?	Posted by Isrem on Nov 29, 2013, 6:54:53 AM Quote this Post

If you killed something with the poison cloud it would get increased drops but if you attacked it with something else first and then it died to poison then it would not get the benefit. This is not the case. I'm bringing that up now that changes have been made about dots. Is it still the case ?

I'm afraid that it's not enough of a sample to have proper reliable results, considering the impact on one gem on it. Now, you may be right, but can't be sure from this.

IIQ/R Supports now apply to Damage over Time. It's completely unrelated to the damage refactor on Damage over Time effects btw. Last edited by Vipermagi on Nov 29, 2013, 8:40:16 AM	Posted by Vipermagi on Nov 29, 2013, 8:39:43 AM Valued Poster Quote this Post
How come ? it wasn't working before this patch, was it ? I though that they probably reworked dots so that they would be closer to what other spells are, and this would just explain it. ( btw, do you have a source for that ? because if it's just empirical and from this patch, it will need more time to get confirmed ) SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading.

It does not appear on the skill icon with the little 'R', nor does it show up in the stats screen under the 'Increased rarity of items dropped by slain monsters'.
