Fast question on Cruel bandits.

Does Oak's 12% physical damage work on Lighting Arrow?

If yes, how does it work, exactly?

Is it 12% boost then the damage is converted? Say (100 damage attack * 1.12)/2 for Lightning?

Or is it (100/2)*1.12 for the damage?

This build has been working for me successfully through level 69 hardcore. Cleared merciless piety at like... 65. Granted I have some pretty GG gear, but picking up health nodes early is huge. Life regen is especially beneficial for hardcore, considering the use of blood magic.

CORRECTION: it does work, but it works the same as Iron Grip, and is a waste to take. It boosts the physical part of your damage by 12%, and then 50% of that is converted into Lightning Damage through LA. So the noticeable part of it is 6%, and it is miniscule. On Cruel you want to take 1 skill point or 4% iAS from Kraityn (I took 4% iAS).

This is not true at all.
Conversions apply bonuses both before and after the conversion. Examples:

Lightning Arrow does half physical, half physical/lightning.
Lightning Strike does half physical, half physical/lightning.
Infernal Blow does half physical, half physical/fire.
Glacial Hammer does half physical, half physical/cold.
Cold spells with Cold to Fire support gem (providing X% ctf conversion) does 100-X cold, X cold/fire.

thanks for posting a video m8...

i nearly died of a heart attack couple of times when u were low on health...:-)


so, i guess, in the end game, i will take lot more gear with life and passives with life nodes instead of dmg ones...better to go little slower than die in a split second when my concentration run out or my daughter pull my sleeve:-)

Isn't that exactly what I just said?

the physical damage is 100
boosted by 12% to 112
lightning arrow does 56 physical, 56 lightning damage

Do correct me if I'm wrong, and show me the numbers from the initial 100 physical damage.

EDIT: Actually I typed 66 instead of 56 there, excuse me.

Your math is correct.

The noticable part is 12%. You said yourself that it raises your lightning damage (from 50 to 56) as well as physical damage.
