I think that the reduction to elemental damage occurs after the conversion to chaos, which means it will only nerf your non-lightning converted damage (if you have flat fire/cold anywhere on gear), but I have not been able to test this yet. It seems to work fine on Blast Rain though. Has this been discussed here yet? I believe the elemental reduction of Void Manipulation unfortunately happens before conversion to chaos. I have significantly lower damage with 25% reduced elemental / 35% more chaos than 28% more Slower Projectiles. (Only a minor portion in my calculation is physical, other part is pure lightning/chaos.) From what I've tested, I don't believe this is the case, but I will attempt to confirm tonight. If you look at your tooltip, your chaos damage should be higher with void manipulation, but I could be wrong.	Posted by Thisisnotsully on Dec 26, 2015, 5:41:11 PM Quote this Post

This IS the case, but VM is still a GREAT gem, unless you have something like 100% increased total damage (and in that case, your DPS just SUCKZZZZZ anyway). Poison gem can also greatly improve single-target damage, cause you dont use single-target skills to oneshot things....

Awesome thank you for the input, I really like the Void Manipulation gem personally, and I think you're right about poison being linked to blast rain.

I'm a bit confused. Why do you get Master Of The Arena? Are bow attacks considered as melee physical attack dmg? Or do you just want to get the 1% extra life regen and strength? I assume it's about the life reg, right?	Posted by inn0s on Dec 30, 2015, 7:12:11 AM Quote this Post

k. I'm rather new to poe and I thought that it could be possible that melee phy dmg might be also applied to bows. Even though it sounds stupid. Thanks :)	Posted by inn0s on Dec 30, 2015, 8:13:43 PM Quote this Post

Cheers From your Curse on Hit setup with Herald of Thunder, killing a shocked enemy will proc Herald Of Thunder, which will curse mobs it hits with Assassin's Mark, then killing cursed enemies has a chance to grant power charges.
