Power Siphon

Guys can i have 7 power charges if i pick 3 from passives and one from bandit reward?

how do power siphon builds deal with single targets?

Well, yes. 3+3+1 and all that. :P

Fine then, thanks. Once i read that maximum charges were 6 but its confusing since you can get an axtra one from quest reward

Either Power Siphon (deals a whole bunch of damage and Crits like a madman) or Elemental Hit (same deal; lots of damage and Crit).

he's refering to boss fights like brutis where you don't have ability to use power siphon to regain power charges. volls armor solves this but with a moderate mana penalty. there's plenty of single target stuff like you said, elemental hit.

so i was trying out a maybe weird build, but i figured it would be something unique which could work. i started as a ranger, picking up projectile dmg nodes which scale just fine with power siphon. i went to the middle to pick up iron grip

("The increase to Physical Damage from Strength applies to Projectile attacks as well as Melee attacks")

and pretty much nothing happened. i checked if i was wrong and power siphon isnt handled as attack/projectile but OH WONDER - it is.




so the question is.. if power siphon is a projectile attack like the skillgem says, why in hell doesnt it work with iron grip?..


i would be happy if i could get a dev answer, because this doesnt seem to make any sense. at least not to me.

thats the weapon i wear atm. i know the increase when you have like 100 str only cant be big, but at least it should go up a tiny little bit as soon as you skill iron grip. but it didnt. literally nothing happend, not even an increase by 0,1dps.
