Mechanical Questions Thread

Can we please get an icon for the ascendency "Pendulum of Destruction"? There are other rotating buff icons in the game and it seems weird for this one to not have a rotating buff icon. Its only on 5 second rotation.

When Im using Cold Snap with Avatar of fire, will the cold area be still considered as "chilling area" for Algor Mortis buff ?

So i am running this setup on my carrion golem

-carrion
-multistrike
-brutality
-damage on full life
-minion dmg
-melee phys dmg

i just got a 6 white shavronne's so i could swap something for impale support.
the build im following uses dmg on full life, the build :https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2984662

POB tells me damage only go's from 23k to 24k per gollem when adding dmg on full life, and it go's to 27k with impale, is this correct or POB not correct ?
thanks

Edit: i found the damage on full life option in POB, alot more damage then impale, so theres no point running impale in this setup ?

Can someone confirm what happens if you have 3.9 flask charges gained per 3 seconds? For example standard pathfinders node "gain 3 flask charges every 3 seconds" + 30% flask charge gain modifier.

Does it come into the effect after more than 3 seconds or the 0.9 is rounded down because only flat values are taken into account?

Flask charges are stored as floating-point numbers, so yes, you can have fractional flask charges.

Yes, the chilling effect is independent of the damage.

Scaling Impale damage means investing in Impale, including chance to Impale, increased Impale effect, and number of hits the Impale lasts. For Minions, that means using Impale Support, running Dread Banner (preferably with Generosity Support), and a couple cluster jewels with Rotten Claws. Keep in mind that Damage on Full Life, as the name implies, only works while your Minions are on full life, which in practice they won't be a lot of the time, so Path of Building is sort of selling you an illusion here. I'd suggest Ruthless Support instead.

Does the new Blackflame ring have a wasted stat?

The Fire Damage over Time multiplier on it looks useless to me if ignite is now dealing chaos damage instead of fire.

Unless Ignite is categorized as 'Fire Damage over Time' regardless of its damage, I don't see how it works. Can you clarify this?

Thanks for your time!

Is GGG working on the Server Ping Latency in the United States/Possibly other countries? Been an issue ever since the last update went out. Currently my Internet is running fine and getting the upload/downloads speeds I usually have. POE Servers, when running a ping test are coming back as 216-250+ Latency Per Second. And I live in California.

Kind Regards,

PS: I do love the game, but would love to see a League where you can combine skill gems, either through leveling or a altar, to make new skills. IE Morph a Cold Snap with a Fire ball gem, to create a Fire Snap. or Ice Spear with a thunder skill gem to create Zeus Spears(lighting infused Ice Spears that dissipate but deal both elemental types and can be scaled through, Phy converted to Ice/Lighting)

Noob question, but what's the interaction between the Elementalist's new shaper nodes (eg. your hits always ignite) and the Ele Focus support gem (supported skills cannot inflict ailments)?

Hey i have a question regarding hydrosphere. will we be able to use single target abilities on it? for example, will i be able to namelock it with glacial hammer or attach brands to it?

Replica Siegebreaker looks like a love letter written directly to Popcorn Skeletons, but there's a burning question to which there is not yet a documented answer:

Is the dead minion still the source of the Burning Ground damage? As in, any difference if you have Minion Damage support linked? Some think it's its own new source and thus scales only with the enemy's resistances.

POB Fork can't even recognize the mod :(

Hi, I'm trying to theory craft a Elemental hit build utilizing The Admiral chest armour and the line "Elemental Damage you Deal with Hits is Resisted by lowest Elemental Resistance instead" has me wondering how it interacts with resistance penetration. if I'm only dealing fire damage with the skill and I am focusing on lowering enemies cold resistance does that mean I have to socket cold penetration support instead?, Or does resistance penetration just not work anymore with the item.
