Mechanical Questions Thread

Hey Mark,

Regarding totem placement speed :

a) Cast speed also affects it
b) Cast speed does not affect it and the only way to "put" a totem faster is increasing placement speed.
c) There is the player's cast speed (=animation) and then the totem placement speed (=totem "poping up" animation), and therefore having both can be useful ( for the sole purpose of placing totem I mean )
d) Not of the 3 previous assertions, and I would love to hear how it actually works.


Cheers


PS : I have been looking quite a bit on the internet, and haven't found any "confirmed" source clearly saying what's what, I've seen people saying that cast speed works, and one or two people saying that it does not + the wiki does not say much and is quite confusing :

"

Totem Placement Speed is a basic passive skill that grants increased cast speed for summoning totems.

So you confirm that standard "increase cast speed" does not increase the speed at which a player "summons" a totem ?

So b) ?

I honestly think that the wiki really should be edited and improved regarding this tbh.

That is correct.

Alright then, thanks.

It is a wiki, it is maintained (or not maintained) by players; and prone to being incorrect or outdated for this reason. It is not an official GGG source and GGG has no control over it.

I know, but for some reason I thought that not everyone could edit it.
I will gladly improve it now that I got an answer.

If Marks feels like answering the question too, I will also reference him as a source ( not that I do not trust you, but I'd prefer only linking DEV's quotes as sources ).

I know, that is also one reason why I didn't and would not do that ;)

Hi, I have questions about interactions between animate guardian/Chains of Command and Vulconus.

If I equip a vulconus to my guardian :
- Can he gain Avatar of Fire ?
- If the enemy is bleeding and/or ignited, does the guardian gain the bonus damage of Vulconus ?


If I equip Chains of Command :
- Can animated weapons gain AoF ?
- If they can gain AoF, do they gain AoF at the same time ?
- If the enemy is bleeding and/or ignited, does animated weapons gain the bonus damage of Vulconus ?


I have a build idea where I equip Vulconus to my guardian and if the animated weapons can't gain AoF at the same time or can't gain AoF then you can suppose that the enemy is bleeding and ignited to give bonuses to my weapons.

Hi,I noticed that when enemy killed by occultist's "profane bloom" ,it seems like the "kill" does not conunt as "player's kill".

Thus the vaal skill and soul eat cannot get charge from these kills.

It is obviously that a huge pack monsters can only give souleat effect less than 10.The vaal skill is hardly get fully charged even map cleaned.

So is this a bug or something?

You were right, I found in the patchnote 2.0.0 :

Totem placement can now be sped up with a new Totem Placement Speed stat. Cast speed no longer places totems more quickly. Base totem placement speed is faster than the cast speed used to be.

I want to add it as a reference to the wiki but ... I'm not sure how to do that tbh, do you have any clue ?
