I have a question. What happens when you try to use glacial hammer when you have Avatar of Fire. Does it do fire damage instead? or just zero damage because you no longer do physical.


Avatar of fire notices that some of your physical is already going to be converted, so leaves that part alone and converts the rest. So you end up with 50% converted to cold and 50% to fire.

Double strike rolls for crit only once, and uses the same crit roll for both hits. Thus in normal situations either both will crit or neither will.

Stun Threshold reduction got reworked yesterday - as off 0.9.5 it will actually be effectively reducing the stun threshold by that amount. So 50% reduced stun threshold will mean it's twice as easy to stun an enemy, 100% will mean you always stun.

The values available will be substantially reduced along with this change to keep things balanced.

Does -100% stun threshold means every hit will stun? Or do some monsters have a built in stun threshold +%?


No. The calculation doesn't work like that. I have a note somewhere to change the description to make that less confusion.

If you deal 2 simultaneous pieces of damage, such as 2 fireballs to the same target


It is impossible for damage packages from two individual actions to combine. This means that two different actions can never cause this to happen, but also means multiple projectiles from the same action can't either, as a new action is copied for each one. So the two fireballs can't do this.

Hi, i think that this is the best thread to post this; i've a problem with my Cleave Gem.


In future, stuff like this should be posted in the skill feedback forum - there's a thread in there for each skill, and you can post in the appropriate one for the skill you're talking about.

The amount of damage reduction from your reduction rating compared to the incoming damage is calculated and the additional reduction from the charges is added, and then the damage is reduced by that total amount of reduction.

Magic, rare, and unique monsters only drop equipment, and have a large Increased item rarity modifier for those drops.





Just to clarify... does that stack multiplicatively or additively with your character's increased item rarity modifier? (I assume multiplicatively)


Additively

There are bows with +spell mods, these bows are useless because poison arrow and explosion arrow are not spells but attacks, so would only gain more dmg from +elemental dmg mods?


Explosive arrow (and infernal blow) are special cases.

While both these skills are attacks, the explosions are not dealing attack damage (the explosion isn't based on your weapon), but spell damage.

So in those two cases an attack is dealing damage that counts as spell damage (and gains the increases to it).

Even if that were no... Read more

Elemental damage means elemental damage. If you have increased elemental damage then it will increase all the fire, cold and lightning damage you deal, regardless of whether it's with spells or attacks.



Spell damage refers to all damage dealt by spells, regardless of type.



For example, detonate dead is a spell which deals some physical damage - that would be increased by spell damage increases, but not by elemental damage increases.

Likewise, Glacial Hammer is an attack, not a spell, so none of it's damage is increased by spell damage increases, but since some of the damage is dealt as cold, that would be affected by elemental damage increases.



Not all elemental damage is dealt by spells, and not all spell damage is elemental.
