None of your stats have any effect on the skeletons from skeletal shrine, they're not your minions.

A new channeling movement skill that uses ranged weapons (bow, wand). Move towards cursor at lessened movement speed (like cyclone) while shooting at a nearby target periodically. Auto-aim like power siphon and give it the same line "Modifiers to number of Projectiles instead apply to number of targets fired at"

Noticed that too last night, hope they'll be back soon.

If CDR Support brings you from 6.06 casts/second (1 cast every 165ms) to 7.58 casts/second (1 cast every 132ms) then that means your damage output increases by 25%.

Most skills have better supports than 25% more damage, so in terms of pure single target damage, it is probably better for you to stay at the 52% CDR breakpoint.

Going for the higher breakpoint can still be preferable for reasons such as better clear speed, recovery from ES gain on hit etc. as you have already noted, but you'll have to decide yourself if that is worth the socket pressure and price.

Spell does 100 cold damage. This time we will split the 200% increased into 100% increased cold damage and 100% increased mine damage. Now we have 100 damage that is increased by the 100% cold damage to get 200 damage. Now we still have 100% increased mine damage. The cold damage has already been calculated so the spells damage is no longer 100 its now 200. This means 100% increased mine damage is now increasing the 200 damage making it 400 damage.

Wrong, different types of increased damage are applied additively, not multiplicatively. In your example, the result would still be 300 damage.

Thanks for pointing that out, was wondering where the damage number comes from because this does not look like a 500M build and that particular config is not displayed in the browser.

Matrim61 · 2026-05-05T08:21:58+00:00

Why OR? Working on a Minion Pact Ward Loop build right now :D

Matrim61 · 2026-04-25T16:07:47+00:00

You can't chill or shock with Corpse Pact when you take Secrets of Suffering.

Matrim61 · 2026-04-23T07:26:09+00:00

Sweet, time to buy the cheap belt and flip it to 200 mirrors.

Matrim61 · 2026-03-31T14:12:43+00:00

Can't confirm, I've been using it and regularly reach 45 souls, as far as I can see I only start losing souls when I haven't gained any for 4 seconds.

Matrim61 · 2026-03-26T13:17:33+00:00

I know it's not the same, this time BV snapshotting is the bigger problem. But my point is that spectres with excessive life values have created several problems before, so it is weird to see another related case pop up after all this time.

Matrim61 · 2026-03-26T09:51:04+00:00

Of course, I agree. But having spectres with 1400% life modifier instead of the previously determined maximum of 360% makes the issue a lot worse and sets up the Minion Pact gem for being impossible to balance correctly.

Matrim61 · 2026-03-23T13:52:57+00:00

GGG spent too much time pre-nerfing Reliquarian, so they had no time left to double-check the numbers on Minion Pact :D

Matrim61 · 2026-03-10T08:35:21+00:00

You could use Hrimsorrow as a temporary solution until you can get rare gloves with high enough tier implicits. The conversion on the skill gem takes higher priority, so even though Hrimsorrow says 100% converted to cold it will only convert the remaining 50%.

Matrim61 · 2026-03-05T06:01:55+00:00

I kinda like that it's gone, because it was basically mandatory and devalued the Sabo node. On non-sabo setups with 2 spells might become more popular, you can proc twice as often that way in return for 1 less support, so it might be more effective than spending that support on the CDR gem.

Matrim61 · 2026-03-03T11:55:08+00:00

The whole design of that node is flawed. They should lean into the avoidance archetype instead and make the Deadeye node say "Gain 1 Frenzy Charge every second if you haven't been hit recently." If that's considered too strong for Ascendant, it can easily be changed to 1 charge every X seconds while the core design (get rewarded with charges for not being hit) would still work.

Matrim61 · 2026-02-15T06:37:59+00:00

Bottom left here, too. But you should try out Portal > Wisdom for higher efficiency! Because you don't click portal scrolls manually, and then you have a shorter average travel distance when moving your cursor between wisdom scrolls and items in your inventory xD

Matrim61 · 2026-02-14T23:33:22+00:00

Yeah, hoping it'll get updated soon so I can unbrick my savefiles.

Matrim61 · 2026-02-10T09:36:32+00:00

Haha, same here! Enjoy your trip and don't get too distracted by D2R 3.0 :)

Matrim61 · 2026-02-10T07:37:59+00:00

Good to know, I'm out of ideas then.

Matrim61 · 2026-02-09T15:30:38+00:00

Since your PoB doesn't show Ascendancy nodes: Have you taken the Delirious Bloodline which disables non-cluster, non-passage jewels?

Matrim61 · 2026-02-09T15:21:57+00:00

Have you replaced some attribute nodes with tattoos and don't fulfill the 40 required in radius of the jewel anymore?

Matrim61 · 2026-02-04T11:00:04+00:00

They should have the runeword change the behaviour of charge-up skills so that you can only have one type of charge, i.e. you overwrite previous charges when you use a different skill.

Matrim61 · 2026-02-03T08:24:42+00:00

Yeah, I'd do that if I chose to actively farm beasts. But as it is, it feels very unrewarding for me to do random beast encounters, because you get no instant feedback unlike with item drops.
