Is it possible to use Item Rarity support gem with the Contagion + Essence Drain combo? If so, are you supposed to link it to Contagion or Essence Drain?

There is no way to decide which degeneration effect killed an enemy, so it picks the one that has been on the monster the longest. If an enemy is affected by Essence Drain, Contagion and Righteous Fire, it will pick whichever one was applied first and check the Rarity of that skill. In other words, if you want to link a degen skill with Item Rarity, ensure you use that skill first.

Some players have also found interesting utility from some of the modifiers they grant.

hrm...



Question:

Do the monsters gain every single attribute from the talisman equipped, or just the implicit ?

fireball -> converted to 100% chaos damage
link with poison.
have +300% fire/elemental/spell damage

the damage of poison will be 10%*2 the"on hit" damage if i DON'T count poison bonuses from the gem?

meaning. if i increase poison damaage by 100% it will now deal 20%*2. an effective damage increase of "20% 'more'" on total damage

am i correct?


if this is true, when applying poison to anything physical/chaos it is a theoraticl "more" multiplyer that is increased from the base "10%*2" by poison increases. and the "poison" part will also be increased by Damage over time and chaos increases.

EXAMPLE: ((10*2)+125% poison+75% dot+100% chaos =40*2 poison damage)

true or false?

Not quite related to poison or talisman but can we get a gifting function for MTX? I wanted to gift my bro some winter boxes for christmas, but the only way to do so now is to log onto his account and buy them there. (That´ doesn´t really work for surprises....)

This! t would be fun to be able to buy something little for your PoE friends since xmas is coming.

GGG has made it clear in the past that they'll never do this. The reason is simple - it opens the game up to exploitation. People can charge others for "gifted" MTX. They can use said MTX to gain either real world money (the cost for others of buying the MTX 'fresh' imposes a cap on this and so prevents profiting per se, but it does allow you to offset the money you've paid to buy it) or, worse, in-game wealth (which will dramatically affect the economy - it basically means you'll be able to buy in-game wealth with real world money, which is something NO ONE in this game wants to see).

And there's no real way for them to prevent it. Sure, they could prevent stuff from being exchanged in the trade window when MTX's are 'gifted', but you could just get around that by 'gifting' them some currency/items back right after/before the MTX trade. Or dropping it on the ground. And when it comes to real world money, there's nothing they can do to prevent transactions since they'll happen outside of the game and/or website. It just creates a whole slew of issues, which is why they (and not just them, but many other games too) don't do it. The only games that allow such a thing are ones that have explicitly stated that they're open to players buying in-game stuff with real world money. And PoE is not among that group.

Essence Drain + Poison question

Essence Drain tooltip says:
Modifiers to Spell Damage also apply to this skill's Damage Over Time


What is this skill's Damage Over Time?

If I support ED with Poison, is Poison damage also considered this skill's Damage Over Time and influenced by spell dmg modifiers?

No. Poison is a separate effect. Think about it - the Poison support gem doesn't change your Essence Drain skills' tooltip, does it? So then it isn't part of the skill. It's simply a separate effect that is being added on top of the skill along with it. You're essentially hitting mobs with two different effects - Essence Drain and Poison - via one delivery mechanism.

If Poison is linked to a Projectile attack does "increased projectile damage" also increase poison damage?

In this case, the Projectile Damage will also increase the Poison damage, meaning the bonus will apply twice if the poison is applied by a projectile.

I am playing a 100% Fire to Chaos conversation character - will % Increased Fire apply to both the initial hit and to the Poison DoT? Will the poison DoT keep the fire damage tag from the conversion?

Poison is only Chaos Damage, and isn't modified by Fire Damage at all, even if it would be applied by Fire Damage or Chaos Damage converted to Fire Damage.
