It's first skillnode in the way to Malediciton which gives 1 additional curse and pretty in my opinion useless stat what adds 4% of non-chaos damage as extra chaos damage for 4 second.

Um, if the 4% stacks it's the strongest node in the game. You see that, right?
If it doesn't stack it's an effective ~12% more multiplier with a 3x curse build which is OK but if it stacks it's completely bonkers.

+4% of total non-chaos damage added as extra chaos damage per curse per kill for 4 seconds = easy +240% extra damage (effectively a 240% more multiplier, that's reflect proof) for 3x curse blasphemy build, if you can kill 20 monsters every 4 seconds (7+ seconds if it benefits from skill effect duration bonuses).

Does anyone know how it stacks?

1 more curse useless

4 second that in practice is for ever unless you stop to pick up loot.


bad nodes xD and this guy think he know how to balance game xDD

It doesn't.

It's a flat 4% per curse on enemy.(doesn't accumulate)

Seriously though, this node is still extremely potent for a two pointer. Even just a 10% more modifier is extremely potent for almost anybody.

where do you get that from ? it says 10% increased damage not more damage.

they take 10% increased damage

you don't deal 10% increased damage

It's a monster side debuff which act's like a more multiplier on your damage output, similar to how vulnerability functions for dot's and physical damage.(since it's also monster side)

could you please refer your source, because the information i found states the exact opposite.

Read the skill function and interaction part.

Any monster based "take" modifier is multiplicative with the damage dealt, so a more multiplier to your base value.

Similar to

I don't really have sources though, just realized i could find similar wording on these. I just "know" this from my own experience in-game.

So apologies if you expected a dev post or something :)

The wording utilized is usually the key to interpret these.(arguably, these nodes can still change before release or GGG can make exception rules)

It's arguable whether you can interpret "x% increased damage taken [on target]" as "x% more damage dealt [by player]." That relationship definitely holds true most of the time (when you otherwise have 0% of that stat), but when you combine increased damage taken modifiers, they should subject to diminishing proportional returns just like any other increased modifier. The thing is that damage taken modifiers are rare enough that this doesn't happen in vast majority of builds.

Example: Taryn's Shiver "Enemies Frozen by you take 20% increased Damage"
if GGG mechanics are consistent, the curse boost would then raise that to 30% increased damage taken, which equates to 1.3/1.2 = 8.33% more damage.

8.33% and 10% are not that much but still a nitpick worth making in case sources of increased damage taken start to pile up as the game grows.

i've been looking for simliar wording, Taryn's Shiver for example, and it really seems to work like a multiplier. it just stacks additively with other effects that increase enemy damage taken. good to know...thx

50% chance of 10% maximum Life = average of 5% maximum Life
20% chance of 25% maximum Life = average of 5% maximum Life

So really it's just as strong either way, on average. The only difference is that explosions are less common but more meaningful. Overall, I think the 20% chance version is better design.
