" Happy to hear its going well for you. I really like that you played around with your aura setup. Thats a real common question and its good that you can figure out when its best to move things around and drop reservation nodes That is a fiine helmet. Lucky lucky divine |

Im sitting at 7.7k ES 6.5k Tooltip with conc effect, with 7 auras. And im thinking about dropping Cold pen and addind Cold To fire cause it helps with quilibrium and i have an insane jewel with 16% Fire 14% Cold and 10% Area.
What do you think about it? |

" That will drastically lower your DPS. Cold penetration is the biggest damage gem that we use and bosses have high resistances and piecing some of that results in more damage then the other supports give Not sure what you mean by quilibrium but if your talking about elemental equilibrium then adding cold to fire doesn't change anything, instead of having +50% cold resistance they would then be getting +50 cold resistance and +50 fire resistance as your storm would have both damage sources in it and your damage would be decreased the same amount. Actually no your damage would be even lower because their resistances would go up as well as losing the penetration |
|
" Gave it a shot and changed my colors. I can hit 15k Tooltip with conc effect and that jewel. Dropping 37% cold pen seems worth to me. Ill use it for a bit and see what is better. I thought about equilibrium cause if i hit it with fire it lowers their cold res and vice versa. But i think you are right cause both sources of dmg apply at the same time. Edit: I dont pick up ele equlibrium notable..Just the mod on maps Last edited by Lookmomimcool#7168 on Nov 2, 2016, 10:15:22 AM

Yeah I didn't think you were taking the notable but yeah if your skill has 2 elements then they just get both bonus resistances.
Cold penetration doesn't show up in tooltip at all as it can't calculate that without knowing how much resistance the enemy has. Only the quality bonus (% cold damage) from cold pen will show up in tooltip so putting in pretty much any other gem will increase the tooltip. It won't increase your actual damage against bosses though, it'll lower that Last edited by WaffleT#6054 on Nov 2, 2016, 10:24:14 AM

Cold penetration is one of those support gems that are invisible from the tooltip, but it is actually an insane damage multiplier. At worst, against enemies with 0% cold resist, you can think of cold penetration as a 37% 'more' multiplier.
Now imagine you're in a map with a +80% cold resist mod. This support gem essentially becomes a 185% 'more' multiplier. In other words, you would be doing 185% more damage than if you did not have this gem. here's more info on resistance penetration: http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Resistance_penetration My summoner guide: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1765329 My shop thread: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1748967 Last edited by Kaz2ndChance#7554 on Nov 3, 2016, 8:24:17 PM

" Ye i tested it out with the other set up (Cold to fire) and even tho my tooltip is higher the dmg on bosses (especially with ele equilibrium mod) is MUCH lower. I guess you were right guys. Another thing is How can OP reach 10k es with those items. Im sitting at 7.7k with rare gloves with 200es. I was at 6.8k with the unique ones. Since im going for 125/125 on atlas i find it hard to do the guardians with so little es. Any tips on that? Last edited by Lookmomimcool#7168 on Nov 5, 2016, 8:27:59 AM
