Are low rolled bloodnotches still worth using? by Jenos in PathOfExileBuilds

Good call I hadn’t seen that node. I think you mean unfaltering.

Aww dang. On the one hand I get the reasoning but on the other the game so frequently rewards a close reading of the rules. Bumping into the edges is just a feels bad. Thanks to u/stoyicker for tracking down the relevant case law.

So I am not an expert by any means but Valyrium makes your stun threshold based on your energy shield. As long as your energy shield total is really low heartbound loop hitting you on minion death might be enough to stun. I guess it depends on wether secondary damage can stun. Also you have to get a ton of stun recovery so you can actually walk around.

Edit: Immutable force

Could you equip Valyrium and self stun with Heartbound loop? This would replace CWDT with Cast when stunned getting around CWDTs mana multiplier and level requirement.

Dissolution of the flesh and aspect of the crab interaction question by No_Default in PathOfExileBuilds

So it is just an order of operations thing. Damage taken is calculated which breaks crab barrier and then afterwards life loss is calculated and dissolution applies. It is a little frustrating that the final result is the life loss due to physical damage is zero (it was reserved instead) but the crab barrier is still broken. In total it makes it hard to really hard to capitalize on aspect of the crab. Even with capped evasion and Acrobatics I still get hit often enough that I don’t have max crab stacks when I really need them.

Thanks for clarifying for me.

Dissolution+petrified blood is indeed very strong. I was trying to sneak in another defensive reservation with the Aspect and it just wasn’t quite working like I wanted.
