Wonder how an Added Chaos Damage gem would work with that bow as well? This is false. Quality ALD adds "+0.5% Chance to Shock the enemy on hit with Lightning Damage" per quality point. With that bow, you deal no lightning damage to enemies. Static blows is similar. If I can get my hands on that bow I will try some tests out with LA as well as Static Blows and ALD to see if the shock does stack by chance, even though you TECHNICALLY don't do lightning damage. Should be easy to see the frequency changes. However, with that said, one thing you forgot to mention is the fact that the Added Lightning Damage gem has a second quality bonus and one that's very important...improved Shock Duration. It's a total of 20% and when you're trying to stack shocks, the duration IS important, so along with the flat Lightning damage you are also getting longer shock duration, which means more chances to stack shocks. shock duration is good, i just wouldn't consider it worthy of an entire gem slot. if you need shock duration that bad, thunderfist alone is +100% shock duration 20Q LA also gives 30% shock duration which is pretty substantial. gem slots are valuable. added lightning damage without the shock chance seems pretty weak. id run other gems.

"hit with lightning damage" on the chance to shock stat is shorthand for "hit with damage of a type that can shock" because people were constantly complaining that, e.g. linking chance to ignite to ice nova didn't work. If your chaos damage can shock, then chance to shock applies - it's effectively included as "lightning damage" for purposes of determining if you shock, and if so how hard. Given the recent use of "your [type] damage can [status]" seen here and on Soul Taker, we may reconsider these descriptions to remove that part.

Won't have to do all of those tests when I finally get done downloading the patch and try to get this bow. :p Now to do some more plotting and scheming.

" Mark_GGG wrote: I'm still waiting on someone posting a screenshot of something shocked with this Sorry to ask another question, but didn't want to requote your original explanation. In regards to Chance to Shock and what not, how does this apply to the Conductivity curse? I figure the shock chance will apply as you stated, but what about the reduced lightning resistance? Will that have any bearing on the damage, or will it not matter? Gut instinct is telling me 'no' since the damage the bow will ultimately do is Chaos, but just want to be sure. :)	Posted by Tanakeah on Aug 20, 2013, 11:58:50 PM Quote this Post
