Hiya,

I have sent you a PM about this :)

So there goes my money on mtx that I won't use since they refuse to even implement a dressing room ingame.

People has been asking for armor packs for months now and the only one they could find to put on sale was ghost flame.....

They keep bringing more of these same terrible mtx ...

Does Curse effectiveness increase the "Other effects on Cursed enemies expire 40% slower" from Temporal Chains or the "2% of damage leeched as life" from Warlords Mark?

Yes, it increases any numerical quality of the curse.

New Unique Voidheart: why is the wording for bleed different, which says 100% chance but the poison affix is simple ?

Because of a mistake made when merging multiple changes to that file, which reverted my fix. It will be correct on live soon, if it isn't already.

How does Mjölner with 3 discharges, Juggernaut (Unrelenting), Voll's Devotion, Romira's Banquet (and Resolute Technique/Voll's Protector) work?

Why is elemental overload worded to only work with players and not totems?

It's worded that way because that's what it does, and having the wording say something else would be problematic.

If you mean why it works that way, then I'm afraid that's an example of the kind of question that's outside the scope of this thread. I can tell you how it does work (you need to crit something, so your totems critting something won't cut it, but once active, since totems use your skill... Read more

Hi



I'm Mark_GGG, and I know how PoE works. If you'd also like to, this thread is for you.



We're trying out something new as a way for people with mechanical questions to get answers. People can post mechanical questions in this thread, and every few days I'll come by and answer as many as I can. This is specifically for questions about game mechanics - I can't tell you why a balance change was made, whether something will get nerfed, or what option is "best" for a given build. So if you have questions like "Does X support Y?", "What order do A, B, and C happen in when I get hit?", or "Why do the calculations come out this way when I take this passive?", I can help. Questions like "What will the next league be?", "How do people level so fast?", or "What were you thinking when you nerfed X?" are off topic for this thread, and I'm not going to be answering them.



I'm not perfect, and some things I'll have to look up. It... Read more
