Path of Exile 1 Gameplay Help and Discussion - What skills/spells are considered to be a "Buff"? - Forum

" Vislike wrote: I also tested the Curse immunity buff you can get with my Ruby flask today. But it wont either be affected with Buff Duration Passives. Buff Duration (passive node) x% increased Duration of Buffs and Debuffs you create from skills I'm pretty sure that drinking from a flask is not considered a skill... ;)	Posted by Qpic#7312 on Mar 11, 2013, 7:25:56 AM Quote this Post
" Marrut wrote: Auras like Purity should be considered as buff, since it's the main thing of aura, numerical buff for elemental resist. But it's not, i have inner force, 30% for increasing buff effects on me, have purity 13th lvl, +22% all elemental resists, with inner force it should give me +28% all ele.res., but it doesn't, same +22 applied when i casted purity after taking inner force in passive skill tree. Should it be like this? I would like an answer to this as well. Took those nodes Presuming it would boost all my auras (Clarity, Purity, Discipline, Anger, Wrath, Hatred), considering all of them buff my character. Would like an explanation / confirmation about auras that do and do not work with Inner Force.	Posted by Ferumbras#1155 on Mar 11, 2013, 8:18:29 AM Quote this Post

So if I test it tonight (can't atm from work) and see that on my defense screen, Purity only gives me the on the gem described resistance, that is considered a bug? Good to know, will verify what Marrut said tonight.	Posted by Ferumbras#1155 on Mar 11, 2013, 8:29:33 AM Quote this Post

I already tested this today with Hatred, Haste and Vitality auras, but feel free to do your own test with Purity. =)	Posted by Qpic#7312 on Mar 11, 2013, 8:34:32 AM Quote this Post

Should it be like this? I have 26% lightning resist (merciless). With Purity (24%) and the Inner Force passives, I jump up to 57%. I'd say that works perfectly well.

It´s just anyoing design that the ui isn´t able to give you a clear informations about what´s a buff and what´s not and which things are benefeting buffs. edit: When even a dev has problems to recognize how things work in their game how should a new player solve that riddle without deep forum search. It´s silly. What can never be lent or earned? Somewhat, that devours everyone and everything: A tree that rush. A bird that sings. It eat bones and smite the hardest stones. Masticate every sword. Shatters every shrine. It defeat mighty kings and carry mountains on lightly wings. What am i?

Mark makes skills. He is not necessarily the guy who programmed the Passive Tree, in particular, this set of nodes. Whereas I agree with you, he has more available resources to see what the passive does, he does not necessarily have the time to parse through all of the code that these buff effect nodes grant. Alteration Orb Union Local #7 I'll smash your nose with 20 Alterations before I'll sell them for 1 lousy Chaos. 16:1. No questions.	Posted by Shippal#4556 on Mar 11, 2013, 9:31:56 PM Quote this Post

I never talked about mark himself. He just want to help out here. And i never talked about "looking into the code". I don´t know what you´re trying to defend here since i was attacking the ui and information system regarding buffs and not mark. I can rephrase my statement. It´s very hard for a new player to see - which skills are counted as/or giving you - a entity that the system is considering as a buff. What can never be lent or earned?
