Hey guys, I just want to know if the gem brutality work with the unique belt The retch? I've been looking for an answer for that and 50% of people say it works because the damage come from the belt and 50% of people say it doesn't work. So any of you guys have tested this or have proof? Embrace the vaal and the corruption! Only then, you will be bless by Atziri. That's how I got a Headhunter in the Atziri Apex of Sacrifice!

Hi guys. Question about Arid Lake/Bog maps boss. " Drops more and better Items when Enraged - break all the nests in the room to Enrage him What exactly is "better items"? More quantity? Higher iLvl? More maps? Something else? "War's over, soldier. You just don't know it yet. Everybody lost."	Posted by Nishrek#6401 on Sep 14, 2017, 2:45:54 PM Quote this Post

" ComradeSerge wrote: Is it true that if a level 99 player plays in a party with, let's say, levels 95, 99, 83, 85, 80, he will get less experience than if the party was full of level 99 players because the lower level players somehow "leech" xp? This is something I've heard repeated by numerous players and why they refuse to take lower level players in map rotations. An extra reason why I'm curious is because on the Wiki, the opposite is actually stated. Namely, that a higher level player will get a bigger share of experience if he plays with a player who is of a significantly lower level. https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Experience#Party_play Which of the two is true?

From what I've noticed, he gains the visual effect of being enraged no matter when you pop the nests. I think out of about 10 times I've done this, I've gotten a unique item about 3-4 times. Could be RNG, could be the enraged buff. Combat is simple. Keep your blood in. Take theirs out.

Hi, fresh 3.0 question about The Retch Rustic Sash that i tried to get an answer via mail so im just pasting said mail here. " Previously the Retch, as a Slayer with Unending Hunger, the wiki stated it would work as a degen, wiki quote: If Endless Hunger is allocated, then the damage will continue as long as the leech lasts, even once at full life. If combined with instantaneous life leech, then the total amount of potential leech is dealt instantly, including that above the player's maximum life. Currently i am not dealing any degen damage, but i am dealing instant chaos damage if im actively dealing damage. Even if i am at full life. Does the Retch as slayer now only deal instant damage but because of Leech not stopping at full life it works as if you had vaal pact for instant chaos damage? Also after another test vs a lowlife character with shavs unequipped and zero life regen, i was actually dealing zero chaos damage. Leads me to believe this belt is currently broken.

Does Vaal Pact work on Slayer ascendancy?the Endless Hunger and Brutal fervour? Does leech effect work with Vaal pact?	Posted by deadpersonz2#7934 on Sep 16, 2017, 4:52:25 AM Quote this Post
Does running the Assassin ascendancy "Toxic Delivery" on a build where I convert most of my physical to elemental damage do anything? Will the chaos damage scale off my physical before or after it's converted?	Posted by DunkMaster#7683 on Sep 16, 2017, 9:24:44 AM Quote this Post
