Hello

The Vaal Impurity of Lightning can mitigate the damage of Shimmeron wand?

Hi everyone! I have a question about Lava Lash notable, wich grants 30 increased fire damage with weapons and 8% fire penetration with weapons. I don't know if damage dealt by ancestral warchief/protector is considered as damage with weapons or not. So will it work with it or not?

I know that this skill have global cooldown but if i link more than 1 of this gem, will the system calculate it multi times ?
For example : i equipped 3 of this gem, if i take a hit, will 3 gems roll the chance to trigger (30%) at a time or only one of them ?

Yes

Totams use your skills as if they are you. So, any modifier that attaches to skills applies to your totems. A general rule of thumb that is technically wrong but makes intuitive sense for a lot of people is that your character's offensive modifiers get used by your totems while they use their own defensive modifiers. Fire damage with weapons and fire penetration with weapons are indeed modifiers that attach to Skills (because a Skill must know if it is dealing weapon damage, and must know if it is dealing fire damage, in order to calculate).

Hello i have a question about the eye of innocence amulet.

Currently i am trying to make it critical strike me when i inflict an ignite, i am wearing a shackles of the wretched gloves with assassins mark and 9 reckless defense jewels and an ambus charge armour with blade vortex as a fast hitting skill in order to see if i get endurance charges. I proc the ignites all the time but how come it is never dealing a critical strike even though the jewels and assassins mark give it a 100% crit strike base chance?

There is no information on the wiki about this, any help is appreciated

SOLVED - it fuctions as a reflect so thus it cant crit, but it can trigger on hit affects, well rip the fun meme build i had planned

Eye of Innocence can't crit.


Edit: Oh, too slow. That's what I get for leaving tabs open and going afk. :(

can someone tell me if the shaman's dominion works for arc totem is spell totem considered a totem skill

I have a doubt on how the new charged dash works based on Mark_GGG's comment here https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/8mvmow/could_i_theoretically_draw_circles_with_charged/dzqwbk4/ . I have a paint file attached with a rough situation where you draw a ribbon like loop around the target.

In his second paragraph, "The same enemy can by hit by different waves, regardless of whether they're the while-channelling waves or the final wave", the different waves here refer to the waves generated by each stage of channeling charged dash or is it something else that I am missing here?. The red circles indicate the pulses produced by charged dash. The numbers indicate the different stages of charged dash. Assume path length is at its maximum(the mirage has come to a stop) and that for this channel, the number of stages is 5. So the question here is, would circles 2,3 do 2 instances of damage to shap-er ?


Here's the paint mockup
