Mechanical Questions Thread

I saw that unique flamesight helmet gives 25% chance to scorch. Does that mean any hit or only fire hits have the 25% chance? Also, what does it mean based on the fire damage hit? What damage is required for 10% or 20%

Ailment description: Scorched Enemies have their Elemental Resistances lowered by up to 20% based on the Fire Damage of the Hit, for 2 seconds.
It doesn't brick your gear but it will corrupt it when giving the 30% quality. I regret using it :)

So there is a recipe in the beastiary crafting that says “Corrupt a weapon or armour to have 30% quality” is there a risk doing it like vaal orbs? Or is it just going to 30% it 100% of the time with out bricking my gear.
Hi I've got a question about converted damage and how it is treated after character modifiers are applied.
I understand that converted damage will benefit from both modifiers to the base damage type aswell as the damage type I converted it to - the way wikis/forum posts explain it makes it clear that this does work with any character based modifieres (% increased physical, % increased elemental damage).
How does converted damage behave with "increased x damage taken" behave though? Is it just considerered as whatever final damage types resulted from the character based modifiers or does it keep its mixed quality?
Thank you for answering
Hello, my questions are:

1.-If i have Point Blank (from Grelwood Shank) and Far Shot (From Beltimber Blade)

How is the damage calculated at 10-20 units?

I'll have 50% from Point Blank but how much more from Far Shot?

2.- Can all the Shattering Steel skill stages shotgun? I mean, first and secondary projectiles can both shotgun? How do i calculate shotgun dmg? dmg pero projectile multiplied by x ammount of projectiles?



hi

I have increased my critical strike chance for spells to 115% allocating nodes
But when i see storm call's critical chance for spells i see just 12% - how can it be?

Thanks

Hey, i came up with ... question?

I Use Frost Blades.
I have Avatar of fire.
I have Elemental Equilibrium.
I have Master Of Metal. (20% chance to Impale Enemies ON HIT with ATTACKS)
I have dread Banner. (You and nearby Allies have 20% to Impale Enemies on HIT with ATTACKS)

But i don't have impale ? since banner doesn't get stacks.
What i am misssing ?

Update:
Oke... removing Avatar of fire... gave me impale stacks. But i see nowhere clarifying that.

I want to impale and have avatar of fire, is there a way ?
i mean i want to deal fire since i have elemental equilibrium while affected by other auras.

Hello together, I have a quick question about the Arcane Surge Support Gem.

In Path of Building, the Arcane Surge Gem is shown to me as the best DPS alternative for the Wrath Aura.

However, since the Arcane Surge Gem only influences Spell Damage, the question seems to me whether I benefit from the Arcane Surge Gem even at a Melee Skill and get more Lightning Damage for the Melee Skill from the Wrath Aura?

Or won't that work with a Melee Skill?

Thank you for your answers.


Edit:

The question answered itself.

No it doesn't work with a Melee Skill is the answer.

Greetings) Today I faced a problem and hoping community will answer and help me to solve it.

My charachter had 75-75-75 resists index with all of my gear. I've decided to switch one ring to see what are the pros/cons. As I wasnt pleased with the result, I swithched back to the old one and after that my resists are 51-73-54 with the same gear.

Hope you will help)

Waiting for reply.

Just as a guess, removing the ring reduced one of your attributes, which unequipped the item that had your Purity of Elements aura (or maybe it was socketed in the ring itself). Just turn it back on and your resists should be back to normal.
