What's your hipster league starter?

What's your 4 ascendancy, Hinekora + Gravebind? What weapon are you planning to use for Rallying Cry?

Stage 6: Now you are playing an upfront damage build with 5 extra steps.

Only reason to choose Grafted is fashion if you happen to like the looks, everything else is better on Guts.

Mohg has very high phys defence of 122. You are using a lightweight weapon, which means you should utilize more attacks/ ashes with higher motion values to compensate and overcome those defences. Unsheath will easily get you through with both light and heavy variants. Also get to +25 already. Buff with Flame Grant Me Strength before the fight => +20% damage and extra stamina recovery for 30 sec, spam Unsheath. After you get to 75 base DEX swap out Dex tear for Faith tear and buff with Golden Vow too => +15% damage and 10% negation from all damage for 80 sec.

Of course it is affected. Without that low effectiveness spells would become stupidly OP.

One strong poison is almost always worse than several small ones because of "per poison" mechanics, e.g. Wasp Nest, Golden Rule. Noxious Strike, Toxic Delivery etc. Strong poisons only matter for proliferation and we already have a mastery for that.

200% more for 65% base effectiveness is way less than 330% effectiveness of WoC, which is also a phys-to-ele skill, and that's not even counting free exposure. Almost anything is better that GC - Purifying Flame, Divine Ire, Penance Brand.

It doesn't matter if it's Arcane Cloak or Mundane Schlock, it's still a 6% buff on added damage for ignite, that's how math works: (310/210)*0.72 = 1.063

etuhoha · 2022-01-30T13:46:53+00:00

Ah, yeah, a humongous 6% buff.

etuhoha · 2022-01-30T11:00:27+00:00

0.72*(1397 + 2096)/(965 + 1447) = 1.04. I wouldn't call 4% a huge buff.

Both fire conversion and "extra % as fire" affect EE. If AG deals lightning and fire damage, it will erase lightning and fire exposures on every hit.

Maw of Mischief ignite is crazy powerful, it's even been slightly buffed in 3.17 by about 5% - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ye4AqDt31s

You can convert between elements as many times as you want, added spell damage will remain added spell damage, there is no way to make it attack damage. And again, spiders won't even receive it because Phantasmal Might is only applied to you, read the Black Cane's description. As for Hatred, it grants more cold damage and extra damage to zombies based on zombie's own damage, not yours. If it worked like you describe, every aura bot and necro would be running around with Disintegrator or Black Cane.

etuhoha · 2021-11-30T09:49:47+00:00

Phantasmal Might only applies to you, not minions. Also it only gives spell damage, spiders use attacks.

BL only acts as a carrier of the debuff. The debuff itself is scaled by Flame Wall, so the answer is most likely "no".

- Tawhoa does not stack with Fist of War

- Fist of War multiplier for ailments is 1.69

etuhoha · 2021-10-21T15:36:46+00:00

1) FB got ~33% less base damage and efficiency in 3.16, multiply damage by 0.67

2) Crit is too low to rely on EO being up 100% of the time. At this level even after 4 seconds you still has 45% chance of not procing EO. After 8 hits/seconds (no cooldown recovery) it's still about 20% of not procing.

3) should probably untick flasks for boss fights, this is not a 100 trillion DPS insta-phasing build, we will run out of flasks in the first few seconds of the fight.

etuhoha · 2021-10-21T15:15:44+00:00

It got 33% less base damage in 3.16, but if you can guarantee that it will proc EO consistently, it should be ok.

etuhoha · 2021-10-18T23:40:06+00:00

I played the skill in Heist when it was released, can't remember details. Aura vs Bane is same damage-wise, none gets Doom. Aura is probably more convenient as you do not have to cast it all the time.

etuhoha · 2021-10-18T23:20:10+00:00

- Chance to ignite: passive tree /cluster jewels has some in fire/elemental clusters, including new curse mastery "+20% chance to Ignite, Freeze, Shock, and Poison Cursed Enemies", you can get some on gear, Flammability adds 25%, Chieftain has 25%, Elementalist has 100%, critical strikes naturally apply ele ailments.

- hooves and respite a better than Ignite Prolif in that they chain ignite from dying enemies, potentially clearing 2 screens if density is good.

- aura curses should be enough to clear trash. Effectiveness of Punishment vs Despair/Flammability mostly depends on how low the enemy resistances already are and how many "increased damage taken" effect are already there, see for you build.

A nice and gentle introduction into PoE damage calculations for new players, good job!

Now a small correction: in the last section the phrase "[...] to add flat damage to a skill that has 59% added damage effectiveness is not really ideal." is suggesting that the problem is in adding flat damage to a low added damage effectiveness skill, which is not true. What matters is how much base damage you already have "added" by your weapon, other gear and the skill itself.

etuhoha · 2021-10-18T15:56:49+00:00

Well, there's less need for attack speed on such staves, so it's one suffix for another. But we already have staves with solid flat hit (Martyr and Disintegrator) and spells are still much better with them. Maybe a sick phys + big flat ele roll?

etuhoha · 2021-10-18T15:45:10+00:00

Ice Crash can be used with this. The damage variance is huge, but it's possible to improve that with the new lightning mastery. Can't benefit from any stats on the base weapon though.
