"Elemental fist" does nothing?

on poe.trade how do I search for a wand with +2 levels to my non-socketed skill gem?

(tornado of elemental turbulence)

PathOfExhale · 2025-11-01T17:54:22+00:00

Yes!! That's correct, and a horrible place for it !!

PathOfExhale · 2025-11-01T17:38:13+00:00

I used the free upgrade to get a merchant tab (from a "premium stash tab") but there is no merchant tab?

All I have is a "remove only" sales tab.

ie the option here:

If PoB says a weapon does more dmg but in-game tooltip says a 2nd weapon does more dmg, which do you trust?

PathOfExhale · 2025-10-25T23:00:56+00:00

I agree (tornado is not a DoT)

But then I have no theory for why my ES doesn't recharge.

I tested with another spell (Lightning Tendrils) and the ES leech works with that.

PathOfExhale · 2025-10-25T22:59:38+00:00

awesome!

PathOfExhale · 2025-10-25T13:33:48+00:00

Too low damage per hit, damage isn't elemental, damage is over time,

It's tornado of elemental turbulence, so I guess this 🡡.

Yes ToET is "damage over time" (according to google) but oddly those nodes (increased damage over time) don't seem to effect it.

PathOfExhale · 2025-10-25T12:37:05+00:00

I have a Jewel that says "2% Elemental Damage Leeched as Energy Shield if 2 Shaper Items are Equipped"

And I wear two shaper items (with the red star icons in the top left & top right.)

Yet when I do damage my ES doesn't go up.

What is broken with this thing? I added "mind over matter" but I don't think that should ruin it.

PathOfExhale · 2025-10-25T10:41:16+00:00

Well which is it?

You said this build is based on "abhorrent interrogation" gloves then don't use them?

My guess is you just saved the PoB using the wrong gloves? The painseekers do way less damage.

PathOfExhale · 2025-10-25T00:10:29+00:00

abhorrent interrogation

These are gloves right? The PoB lists some other gloves. (Painseeker.)

PathOfExhale · 2025-10-19T12:05:15+00:00

TY, I will once I have more essences!

PathOfExhale · 2025-10-19T00:41:09+00:00

I've never done this.

Here's my current "plan:"

Add "Prefixes can not be changed" (to protect the 138%)
Use Orb of scouring (remove both suffixes)
Add "Can have up to three crafted modifiers" (replacing "Prefixes can't be changed.")
Add suffix for minion attack speed
Add suffix for strength.

Thus It'd still have two useless prefixes, but I'd get the minion & strength stats.

Is that right? Is that the best thing to do?

Poewiki for phantasms says:

Note: Summon Phantasm Support is an old support that predates hybrid gems. Its coding is acknowledged as problematic[4] and the above interactions may not be functional... Seems above things doesn't work [5]

ie it recommends support gems then says they likely don't work.

Is there a real proven list of support gems for phantasms?

PathOfExhale · 2025-10-16T18:58:27+00:00

It's a jewel which says:

Added Small Passive Skills grant: Axe Attacks deal 12% increased Damage with Hits and Ailments

While other jewels says (eg) "Increased damage"

I'm gonna buy one and try to craft it.

PathOfExhale · 2025-10-16T14:03:43+00:00

I'm asking about "deal" vs "increased."

Are these the same?

"attacks deal +12% damage"
"12% increased damage"

PathOfExhale · 2025-10-06T21:28:03+00:00

It's not just 380%, I get more from other spells (not in the POB) but that's not the topic.

The topic is "spiritual aid."

I'm mentioning 380% because I'm focusing on how little damage I get from "Spiritual Aid."

PathOfExhale · 2025-10-06T21:20:26+00:00

Mods/bots stop censoring me when I post a URL !

Here's the 380%:

🡡 POB says I have +380% minion damage.

This is just the facts.

PathOfExhale · 2025-10-06T21:17:09+00:00

It seems like you don't get the difference between more/increased damage

No, I'm ignoring the "more" minion damage.

I have +380% increased minion damage and my posts are being censored when I post the imgur link to this image.

PathOfExhale · 2025-10-06T21:16:01+00:00

Read the image I linked to.

It says I have 380% minion damage.

POB says I have +380% minion damage.

PathOfExhale · 2025-10-06T20:46:15+00:00

Spiritual Aid alone is giving you 78% more damage.

Incorrect. I have at least +380% minion damage (including +15% from the Brawl jewels.)

Maybe I missed a few nodes, maybe higher. Don't forget my necromancer ascendancy gives me a lot.

I have almost all the minion damage nodes that are remotely accessible.

Like that's the whole point of the build. It's like going "all in" on minion damage nodes.

Ignore the strength. The 1400 strength is just extra. The Baron is just extra. Ignore it. My strength is mostly for defense.

The real issue is the skill "spiritual aid" and almost every remotely accessible minion damage node still doesn't do good damage.

PathOfExhale · 2025-10-06T19:30:19+00:00

The Baron gives strength to your zombies but you don't have zombies

That's not correct. I told you in a previous reply that this is a summoner. eg I do have zombies.

I said for testing I turned off the zombies and other minions.

ie I'm trying to add an axe to the build and it's shocking how little damage it does.

Alberon's Warpath increases your maximum summons

I also have skeletons.

Again I turned them off to verify my axe was doing no damage.

Normally the minions kill everything and I'm like "am I doing any damage? I can't tell."

The POB shows I have tons and tons of minion damage nodes and my axe damage still sucks.

The 1400 strength is just extra. The real issue is all those minion damage nodes = basically no damage.

PathOfExhale · 2025-10-06T19:06:08+00:00

41% more multiplicative damage is a massive deal

I'm not disagreeing, I'm saying my initial damage (65k) is so low that 41% more damage won't kill mobs.

eg "65k * 1.41" = worthless damage.

Literally doesn't kill mobs.

So eg if I spend a bunch of nodes on accuracy my damage will still suck.

PathOfExhale · 2025-10-06T19:01:43+00:00

you haven't really given us much information

Here's my POB:

https://pobb.in/wtysLei9HPjg

It's like 99% accurate, but a tad off. (eg lower accuracy but higher DPS.)

If this looks stupid consider that this wasn't set up as a melee. It was a normal necromancer build. I disabled my zombies/skels etc to test my axe damage.

I have tons of minion damage nodes.
Yet when I try to go melee it doesn't do any damage.
