I like having the bosses show up from time to time so I unchecked it for the moment.

Current build status for my first real POE character: https://poe.ninja/pob/lhh Getting from 91 to 92 is degrading. I can do t16 rare maps only dying occasionally, but then I risk a mission or unique map and lose all my XP. At least I'm finding currency and floor divs in the meantime; I'm up to three. If anyone sees anything I can upgrade for 1 div or cheaper that will greatly increase my DPS and/or survivability, feel free to suggest. I know my resists are way past max, but I'm saving up for a Skin of the Loyal or Skin of the Lords which don't have resists, so I needed to max out without body armor.

 At least all the points put towards leech can go to other stuff now. I didn't think I'd get got by PoE but here I am. I've had spell leech since like level 40, thinking this entire time "hell yeah dude, I have so much passive energy shield regen from my dots, they're always on stuff, dealing spell damage to it!" I was about to invest in more of it to "really be tanky!"

I'm realizing with mild dread(I don't think I could put anything else on it) that "+X% elemental damage to attack skills" may very specifically exclude spells, despite them being skills I use to attack with.

Skills have tags. In this case, it applies to any skill with the 'attack' tag. For instance, if you look at boneshatter, you can see it has the attack tag, along with some others.  If you look at a spell like arc, instead of having the attack tag it has the spell tag.  The listed tags are helpful for figuring out what applies to what.

Yeah I'm usually good about that but I can definitely fix a handful of these errors that have added up. Do any tags apply to the DoT skills aside from "Duration"? Duration and Curse have been my guidelines thus far. Kinda like my necromancer years ago, I just typed Minions into every search bar until Act 10 was done.

Yeah. Its a good habit to look at the skill tags when you’re considering item interactions. PoB can reveal this too, albeit indirectly unless you create some fake items to mess around with. I did the same thing though last league, so dont feel too bad

Bane is scaled by spell damage because of a special line on the gem, but generally spell damage will not scale damage over time that is caused by a spell - it's for hit damage. There are plenty of stats that do affect chaos dots, though. This is a quick and not exhaustive list but I think it covers all the relevant ones for bane - damage over time, generic "increased damage", damage over time multiplier, chaos damage, chaos damage over time, chaos damage over time multiplier.

Duration and Curse have been my guidelines thus far. Kinda like my necromancer years ago, I just typed Minions into every search bar until Act 10 was done. Let's look at Bane: Chaos, Trigger, Spell, AoE, Duration, Hex Chaos - It deals Chaos damage Trigger - Bane prevents the direct use of the linked Hex skills as Bane itself will cast those Hexes when cast. One note: a skill cannot have two different triggers applied to it, it will be completely disabled in that case. Spell - It is a spell you cast AoE - It has an area of effect Duration - the debuff from Bane lasts a certain amount of time Hex - It deals with the application of Hexes And Bane itself has the line "Modifiers to Spell Damage apply to this Skill's Damage Over Time effect". So the things that would scale Bane's damage would be: Generic damage Generic spell damage Chaos damage Damage over time (note: Multiplier is better than Increased, because the former is a More and Mores are multiplicative with each other while Increased are additive) Duration (increasing the duration doesn't increase the rate it deals damage, but increases how long the debuff lasts/decreases how often you need to cast it to maintain 100% uptime) whypick1 fucked around with this message at 00:36 on Sep 8, 2023 |

To add a lil sidebar, the chaos damage specificity is one of the biggest reasons people are recommending you drop cold snap. If you scale chaos (or cold) damage through items or passives each item affix/passive/support gem is basically a lost opportunity to scale up either cold (or chaos, respectively) dps. Even if you’re getting something besides damage/defense from the unoptimal affix/passive/support gem (ie frenzy charges) there’s often a less costly way to add the same effect or better. You could keep cold snap for the frenzy charge effect but use those gem sockets for some other spells (look at defiance banner, you may be able to fit it) wemgo fucked around with this message at 00:36 on Sep 8, 2023 |

Yeah, I've had a lot of extra slots so been using whatever but I think I can narrow it down to Important Chaos Things and a filler I can rapid fire. Cold Snap feels innately strong enough to drop and blow up little guys funneling in through any choke for easy frenzies, I can drop Frost Bomb and maybe some other things and shoot for a higher concentration of purple magics.

External Organs posted:Whoah, Bane damage gets scaled by area damage? TIL. Nope, I hosed up. It applies a debuff in an area that deals damage, it is not AoE damage itself (like Caustic Arrow's ground effect). This will not be the last time I make such an error because PoE.

I like having the bosses show up from time to time so I unchecked it for the moment. Yeah I'm doing it with delirium and harvest. I'll probably try it out, the bosses aren't very scary for me but they do slow me down a lot (and also as I just learned, normal beyond mobs stop spawning when they appear). Also I hate how long they take to drop their loot

Im trying to set up PoB so that it reasonably accurately calculates srs damage, and found that when i add a lvl1 temp chains gem to my srs to simulate my AG, my dps does down. Whats with that? Then I spent a bunch of currency to get 100% poison chance without using a CtP gem, swapped in void manipulation and watched it go down again. Is there a different gem i should be using that is better than the flat chaos from CtP? Its going to be withering touch, isnt it

On the official POE trade, is there a way to search in a non-strict way? For example, if I want to search for "+% to max life", I don't care how it got on there; explicit, implicit, fractured, crafted, who cares. I mean sometimes I do, but usually not. The worst thing is searching for an item and figuring out which modifier category it is by retyping a modifier until something shows results. Don't get me started on +1 to levels of cold skill gems vs. +1 to levels of cold spell skill gems.

Whats with that? It won't pick up the extra curse mod from your AG's Windscream's boots (I'm assuming this is what you're doing), so you need to add that in Configuration --> Custom Modifiers If you're using UiD instead of SiS, yes, Withering Touch. Wither is powerful.

The worst thing is searching for an item and figuring out which modifier category it is by retyping a modifier until something shows results. You're looking for a "pseudo" search. Not all mods have a pseudo search filter though. But for example if you put in ~pseudo strength on the stat filter it will come up with "Pseudo +# total to strength" and it will count +strength implicits, explicits, +all attribute rolls, +strength and dex/int rolls, etc.
