Cold Steel Jewel does not work with Defiance & Melee Damage with Shield passives
|
Just found out that Cold Steel Jewel when slotted neat the Duelist passive tree area, does not work with Defiance & Melee Damage with Shield passives.
Not only does it not work eventhough I am melee with a shield in hand, I seem to lose some DPS. Please refer to images below. As it shows, I do mostly cold damage and I lose some DPS after inserting the jewel. Even the wording changes correctly for Defiance and all the passives covered, it turns into Increased Melee Cold Damage. http://imgur.com/gallery/CXyUY/new    [3.7]Chaos Agnostic - CRAZY Life & Mana Sustain!!!:

Doesn't the skill you're using convert some physical damage to cold damage? It seems like you'd want to keep physical damage because then both the physical and the cold portions would benefit. Cold damage increases would only benefit the part that was cold damage.

" He's running a fully elemental build, though. Doryani's Fist converted to cold damage with 2x Brotherhood rings. Maybe it's an odd interaction with Dyadian Dawn belt, or maybe Cold Steel simply doesn't work. It's not really a popular jewel so it may have gone unnoticed.

To me it looks like the new Damage multipliers simply don't apply at all, and the tiny loss in Damage could come from some flat Phys on the amulet or w/e (but even that seems odd?).
I don't have a Cold Steel myself; could you see what happens when you slot it into a plain Physical Damage build? If the transformed Damage modifiers don't work at all, Physical Damage will decrease. If Cold Steel doesn't work, then little would change. There's a couple other things I'm curious about (might be due to being Unarmed, what happens with flat Cold Damage), but I think that's a fair start. That, or leave it to GGG I guess, haha. | |

I suspect that it is how all the melee physical damage while wielding shield is coded to not work properly with the unique belt Dyadian's Dawn (Cannot do any physical damage)
Even with Cold Steel rewording them correctly into Melee Cold Damage with Shield, it does not apply correctly. I suspect Dyadian Dawn's ability to stop player from doing any physical damage is applied first before any damage conversion is done (by my Call of Brotherhood rings and even Cold Steel's conversion on passive tree) Before Cold Steel can convert my supposed Melee Phy to Melee Cold, the Physical part is already zerorized. But I don't understand why I actually lose DPS... :( [3.7]Chaos Agnostic - CRAZY Life & Mana Sustain!!!:

So I did some tests and the conclusion is that Cold Steel doesn't work properly with unarmed damage. It works with weapons.

Ya, it is fine with weapon, but for unarmed conversion, either it is broken or just not worded correctly.
