using beast crafting to 30% weapon/armour quality can destroy item like vaal orb?(i mean socket color change or etc.)or it only change quality to 30% and make item corrupted?

No, the only change is setting the quality to 30% and adding the corrupted property.

Hi guys, why am I taking chaos damage with death's oath on a ancestral bond character when the totems are killing and I do no damage? I have a glove enchant from the Lab but I would still never kill a mob because of the keystone?
Any chance someone has an answer to this question, played it last league and never got a debuff. Tried turning all heralds off and no warcrys, still get the debuff. What makes me think its a bug is that it only happens around 10% of the time making it had to play around.

Thanks in advance guys having an awesome time this league!

Thanks, Squeakyt0y


If a monster dies to Damage over Time, the kill always gets attributed to your character, even if the DoT was applied by a totem/minion/etc. Maybe you have some small source of DoT on your totem that you didn't have last league - possibly fire damage that can Ignite?

(Random question, why are you using Death's Oath if not for the damage aura? Surely there are body armors with better stats you could actually benefit from?)

I mainly use it because its cheap and gives 15% attack speed with high armour/stats. and no downsides (apparently)

EDIT:: i tried taking off all sources of ele damage and it still happens around 10% of the time? Really looking forward to Mark's take on this. Thanks again

Make your characters public in your forum profile and I will tell you what's causing it. This is 100% something on your side.

...you have Added Fire Damage linked to the totem and you are running Herald of Ash. This fire damage can ignite, and kills by the ignite get attributed to you, thus trigger Death's Oath effect.

You also have Chance to Bleed, which is yet another source of DoT by the totem.

I took all sources of ele damage off and heralds, but yes your right it was probably chance to bleed!!!! thankyou
Is it possible, that if you play in party with PA allocated, that a drop of a divination card is open for all to pick up ?

Following Situation (in league): I played a map, Zana apeared. I called my friend (we was in Party becasue before we was doing dailys together), and we stated the Zana map. When i opend a box, a Divination Card droped and i took it at once. Now my friend said, that the card was open to pick up for him too.
I thought with PA this could not happen for div cards that this are open for all...
Or is this handled at Zana maps or from boxes different ?

Hint: this happens at a time, where the bug that Zana quest (masters) was fullfilled if you killed the Boss of the map (i ask now here because first i wrote Support the question, and tzhe answer was that i should ask here)

Sorry for my bad english, but i think you understand waht i want to ask/say
Hi Mark. my question is the following:

Is Frost Blades considered a 'Projectile attack skill'?

For example,will Yriel's Fostering,Exquisite Leather, mod 'Projectile attack skills have X% critical strike chance' affect Frost Blades melee damage part?

I'm 99% sure the answer is positive,I just want a confirmation from Devs.

Thank you.

Hello GGG,

as totems can proc Elemental Equilibrium I thought that Noxious Strike "increased Poison Duration for each Poison you have inflicted recently" should work with totems as well.

I tested it with ranged attack - totem barrage and it seems that it does not work.

I was wondering if this is intended or maybe a bug?

Best Greetings

Yes, this is actually one of the rare cases where gem tags are actually mechanically useful. "(type) skills" refers specifically to skills which have that tag. Frost Blades has the Projectile tag, thus it is, as a skill, affected by this modifier. All parts of the skill, including the melee portion, gain the increased critical chance.

Even for a skill like Wild Strike, which does all sorts of things, all components will be affected, because it has among many others the Projectile tag.

Note that the other modifier ("Projectiles from Attacks have 20% chance to inflict Bleeding on Hit") only works with the actual projectiles, not with the melee hit, as it is worded slightly differently.

You have to actually inflict the poison (you have the modifier, your totems do not), but as totems use your skills with your modifiers, totem skills will have the increased poison duration for each poison that you have inflicted recently.
