Wouldn't "chance to avoid stuns" be clearer? "Ignore" could imply that you're still being stunned and just unaffected by it.
That is a different mechanic which already exists, doing a separate roll at a different time. This necessarily has to be distinct.
Okay. I posted this in the other thread I linked too but I still don't think this tech will work. I think cast when stunned would go off because of its extra line of being triggered if you block a stunning hit. But if you don't have block, you won't be considered to have been stunned if you avoid the interruption.
Yeah, this stuff was broken in some weird ways because of internal details about how blocked and unblocked hits deal with stuns.
This is actually being fixed in 3.21.0 now, the following was recently added to the patch notes, under Miscellaneous Player Balance:
Read morePreviously, modifiers providing a "chance to avoid Interruption from Stuns" worked in an unintuitive and inconsistent way. These cancel out a stun entirely, preventing effects that happen when Stunned. However, due to an oversight, they did not do this if you blocked a hit that would stun you. T...
So let's say player B has Arn's belt, and gains an Endurance charge (which converts to Brutal charge), would player A then gain an Endurance charge if he does not have the belt equipped?
Player B did not gain an Endurance Charge, so cannot share one. They gained a Brutal Charge.
Player A, without the belt, has 0 maximum Brutal Charges, so cannot gain the charge B tried to share with them.
But if Player A gains an Endurance Charge and shares that with B, B will gain a Brutal Charge instead due to the belt's effect.
So if both players have Instruments of Zeal, then one of them could usefully share Fanatic Charges with the other.
Right, I plan on both characters having Supreme Grandstanding and Instruments of Zeal.
Charges are not buffs, and do not innately apply any bonus to players (or monsters). If B does not have any stats which give them something for having those charges, any such charges they gain will do nothing for them.
So does this mean Brutal and Absorption charges will provide nothing when shared?
All characters innately have specific bonuses-per-charge for the three standard charge types, and the three "alternate" charge types they can be effectively replaced with by the unique belts. These can be seen in the character panel so long as you have the ability to have charges of that type.
Ok so the text of Supreme Grandstanding says that any charge is shared amongst allies
It says allies share their charges (of any type) with you, not the other way around. Sharing is not innately bidirectional. If entity A shares charges with entity B, that means when A gains a charge, B will also gain a charge. This requires that both of them can gain that kind of charge.
If B has 0 maximum charges of that type, B cannot gain the shared charge.
Charges are not buffs, and do not innately apply any bonus to players (or monsters). If B does not have any stats which give them something for having those charges, any such charges they gain will do nothing for them.
So if both players have Instruments of Zeal, then one of them could usefully share Fanatic Charges with the other.
The question asked in the title is very different to the one asked in the post.
The totem's stats do not change when your stats do, other than when the stat that's changing is one that specifically affects totems, such as "x% increased Totem Life".
That is irrelevant to the effect of the totem attacking/casting something, because the totem is not using it's stats for that. Totems do not have their own skills separate from you, they use your skills. If your stats change in a way that affects your skills, it affects your skills regardless of whether you or the totem uses the skill.
So this has nothing at all to do with how your stats change, it matters which of your stats change. Stats which affect your skills will affect them, stats which affect you specifically will not affect the totem.
Does Oriath’s end behave in the same way even though it’s a flask effect?
Yes
So does despair work for Original Sin as the ring states "Nearby Enemies Chaos Reistance is 0" and despair states "cursed enemies have -X% to chaos resistance"? Or is the devil in the detail and the "is" fixes the resistances at 0 and renders despair useless?
Also getting a reply from Mark. Today is a good day. Keep doing the good job you and the team do \o/
No, modifying the resistance doesn't work, because the modifier setting it to zero will still do that. Penetration works because penetration doesn't change resistance values, it causes a hit to calculate as though resistance was lower than the actual value.
If they use Balance of Terror then its for wither. Otherwise is 0 is the same as inquisitors "ignore enemy elemental resistances".
If u want a damage curse use punishment and temporal chains
Otherwise is 0 is the same as inquisitors "ignore enemy elemental resistances".
This is not quite true - a resistance of 0 can be penetrated, an ignored resistance cannot.
Read moreThere's a fair number of mechanics at play here, so I'll try to be as thorough as possible. I'm going to assume we're talking about Inpulsa's explosions here, but most of this carries over to other similar effects.
Yes, the explosion damage is "your damage". It benefits from modifiers to lightning damage, area damage, and generic damage, but it is not spell damage or attack damage, so won't be affected by those. It will also benefit from debuffs on enemies that reduces their resistances or causes them to take increased damage (such as curses, exposure, etc.). The damage has 0% base crit, but if, for example, an enemy is brittle or is cursed by Assassin's Mark, the damage can theoretically crit.
Shaper of Storms will not let this damage shock, even if converted - the restriction on Inpulsa's isn't tied to the damage being lightning, and so it doesn't matter whether you convert it or not. If you want to have chaining explosions, you'...
This is all correct, but as an addendum to point 3, I'll point out also that modifiers to "elemental damage" or other modifiers that can apply to damage of multiple types don't apply more than once to converted damage.
Any given modifer in PoE either applies or doesn't, it never applies twice. If one thing is converted into another thing, any modifiers that apply to either or both of those things will apply to the converted value.

That's me (Mark Knewstubb) on the Hermit.
Also, just to point out, it won't work with cursed ground either
Yes it does, provided you cast the spell creating the cursed ground (as opposed to having a totem/trap/etc do it for you)
/u/mark_ggg any clarification on this please?
Brittle modifies the critical strike chance of hits against that enemy, it will be unable to modify them such that the cap is exceeded. Luckiness does not modify the chance value, it just rolls that value twice and pretends one of them didn't count.
