Mechanics thread

Well I just found two Corroded Blades in maps, so ilvl shouldn't be an issue.
Does spell block work for damage from lightning thorns?

If they're in Standard, you should totally pass me one so I can try 4S-6S-ing it!

Bump for my question!

And can someone explain me how the calculation for MORE and LESS damage is done? For example: Stage3 Incinerate 300% more Damage, GMP 50% less (Projectile) Damage, LMP 30% less (Projectile) Damage, Pain Attunement 30% more (Spell) Damage, RF 87% more (Spell) Damage.

Is it:

a) less and more additive: BaseDamage * (1 + (3.0 - 0.5 - 0.3 + 0.3 + 0.87)) = BaseDamage * 4.37

b) less and more multiplicative: BaseDamage * (1 - (0.5 + 0.3)) * (1 + (3.0 + 0.3 + 0.87)) = BaseDamage * 0.2 * 5.17 = BaseDamage * 1.034

base * (1 +3) * (1 -0.5) * (1 -0.3) * (1 +0.3) * (1 +0.87) = 3.4[034] you have no other modifiers mentioned but it would then be a final * (1 + sum of all "increased" modifiers).
ilvl = 28+ every item can be 4s/4l
ilvl = 35+ every item can be 5s/5l
ilvl = 50+ every item can be 6s/6l


even a corroded blade can be 6l if high enough itemlevel

But can you PROVE that the intended mechanics can trump the graphical limitations? I can't find any 4S-6S corroded blades or gnarled branches on poe.xyz.is. I'm intensely curiously what high-socketed corroded blades or gnarled branches look like, because there are only 4 blocks for displaying sockets on them as is.

Dude I've been trying to Jeweller an ilvl 65 Corroded Blade for a long time.. I've never gotten more than 3 sockets so I'm either super unlucky or you can't get any more :(
Important build-related question.

Goddess Scorned + Spell Totem + Ethereal Knives = 100% Fire damage EK?

Goddess reads YOU can only deal damage with this weapon, which obviously disregards the damage of minions, traps and totems. But the physical to fire conversion does not seem to be item-specific, nor limited to weapon damage. Therefore, this should work?

YOU ARE A HERO FOR DOING THIS! Thanks a ton! My curiosity is well-sated enough, despite the lack of "scientific rigor" involved in this method.
