Announcements - State of the Beta - Post #7 (Beta Patch and Wipe) - Forum

Goodbye my CoC Ice spearer. Hope I could remade you again. Though that 100% -> 80% going to hurts somewhat, unless I could find some crit wands with the new added flat damage mod. Spell damage mode w/ flat damage mod w/ crit change..... hah......	Posted by twintales on Jun 16, 2015, 12:38:47 AM Quote this Post

So if I'm reading the status ailment change correctly, as long as you proc a status ailment chance and deal 1% damage, it'll be considered as being applied (e.g. no more minimum threshold)? If so, this is a pretty big buff for non-elemental builds splashing for things like Herald triggers, since you can deal lethal damage to an enemy, proc a status ailment, and then have it die all from the same hit. Currently if the damage is low enough, you might not hit the minimum threshold. Now you just need to deal at least 1% of the mob's life in the appropriate element for it to proc.

Fire Nova mine and Tempest Shield got NERFED?! What the heck is going on at your office Carl? Fire nova was already underwhelming after the previous nerf, tempest shield is just flat out worthless. None of them needed a nerf o.O OnT. Div cards hype.	Posted by Maxwells on Jun 16, 2015, 1:04:30 AM Quote this Post
Topkek. Some of those value changes look like GGG is playing favourites. Buffed: Arc (+40%) Bear Trap (+33%) Discharge (+50%) Lightning Tendrils (+40%) Incinerate (+200%), though it might have been called for with no shotgunning Nerfed: Ice nova (-30%) Ice Spear (-20%), rip ice spear - nerfed by no shotgun and then nerfed by DE Fire Nova Mine (-RIP%), just in case people were actually using it Tempest Shield (-16%), ironic considering GGG wants people to start using it for damage.

Greetings! " Qarl wrote: Status Ailment Changes Freeze, Shock and Chill durations have been modified. These ailments now last for 60ms for every 1% of life dealt by the appropriate element, to a maximum of 50%. For example, if a monster strikes you for 10% of your life as Cold damage, you will be chilled for 600ms, or 0.6 seconds. This is to reward players who choose to invest in ailment duration or who specialise in a single element, and to reduce the occasional massive duration Freezes, Chills and Shocks that could occur. This does make it more difficult to capitalise on status ailments such as Shock by splashing minimal amounts of added lightning damage. These changes also provide more consistent Status Ailment behaviour. So... does that mean with say 17K and change ES, I would basically be immune being frozen, shocked and ignited for more than a second or two? SWEET! 1% = 170 10% = 1700 16% = 2720 (1 sec) 19% = 3230... 25% = 4250 (1.5 sec) ~Dy'Ness QBotU_DyNess - www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1171890	Posted by DyNess on Jun 16, 2015, 1:18:43 AM Quote this Post

Indeed, it does seem interesting. I also note that it seems stauts ailments will proc alot more often (though not for very long maybe) since it won't just be crits or random times they will happen. So like if general damage of a hit (in particular element) is high enough, it'll still proc a relevant status ailment. This is pretty good news, helps noncrit builds a whole lot imo.
