Mechanical Questions Thread

Hi, I have just one question I;m running labs to try and get enchantment of reflection I must of ran it like 100+ times now had every enchant 3+ times but of reflection am I doing something wrong or is it just rng kicking my ass

I am having a problem with the Conqueror's Efficiency Crimson Jewel. It says it gives 2% Reduced Mana Reserved, but apparently this does not apply to auras impacted by an Enlighten Support gem. Is this supposed to work this way? Can you not reduce mana reserved using both a gem and a jewel? Thanks.

Everyone knows. Totems are affected by your stats, so your cast speed increases Totems cast speed as well.

Hello Poeple!

What is the base radius of the profane bloom explosions from the Occultist Ascendancy and the Obliteration Wand?

Thank You!

Hey everyone;

Will the "16% increased physical weapon damage per 10 strength" from Pillar of the Caged God affect bleeds that you inflict with the weapon? I see a lot of split damage and damage with ailments on the tree, not sure if I can stack strength to get a large bleed from pillar.

Thanks!

Okay some friends and I were able to figure this out doing a little research. Apparently this is just another absurd GGG design. The 2% applies to each skill's percentage rather than the overall percentage or flat rate of mana reserved. So anything less that 50% will round down to zero. Of course if you use an Enlighten Support gem, in the vast majority of instances this so called 2% reduction will do nothing.

Now why GGG can't simply do what everyone assumes they should and actually apply the 2% to the statistic to which they refer is beyond me. The fact they say this is way it was designed to work is even sillier. So yeah, from a reduced reserved mana perspective, due to GGG's incredible design, this jewel is essentially worthless.

I have a question about displaying block recovery rate.

In thread from 2014 about displayed block recovery (I haven't found more recent thread about that) I've found info:
"The character sheet isn't too good at combining multiple different stats sometimes. The modifiers stack correctly, they just display strangely."

Is it still the issue? Because for example when I change my shield for another with additional Block Recovery that value changes in my character sheet (from 120% to 240% in my case), while changeing other items that give me "block and stun recovery" changes only the stun recovery but not block recovery.

Second question (but I think I know the answer from another thread) while being in block recovery I still can block attacks (possibly prolonging the stun)?

Hi!
I'd like to know if this is actually intended and if so, why does it work this way?
While having a warcry on LMB, I can move and it will warcry off cooldown, but when I take the "Using Warcries is instant." node it totally breaks and I can no longer move with LMB. I just stand in place and nothing happens. The warcry also stops activating if I'm holding the button down. It only re-casts the skill if I keep clicking. Movement is still disabled though.
Thank you in advance!
