Blocking an attack prevents all damage and harmful effects including status ailments.

that confuse me

I have a 5L/5S body armour, turned by the jeweller touch prophecy.

But now, I want to turn it in a 5L/6S, with vorici craft station.

Question: If I use vorici, may I lost the 5L? Or is guaranteed, that I will get the 6S without lose the 5L?

Ok, weird question from a weird guy:
I know that essences ignore meta-crafting mods when applied, but do meta-crafting mods also ignore essence-generated unique affixes (the 175 to 225 fire damage for socketed gems suffix from hysteria gloves for example)? I want to know before I maybe waste a shitton of currency for something pointless

Ok, I'll answer my own question now so that everyone knows it next time:
They work just like normal affixes. Sometimes it's not immediately obvious whether they're prefix or suffix, but other than that, there's nothing special about them.
Meta-crafting mods work just fine with essence-only mods.

New question: does the "prefixes cannot be changed" mod also prevent further prefixes from getting added to that item?
Example: Magic item with that mod and regal orb?

I have question about work Dual strike and cleave.

I not found information about work 'on hit' effect if one weapon missed.

Example:
If I use in one hand http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Breath_of_the_Council and http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Mortem_Morsu in other hand. I will be affect poison only by Mortem Morsu with low damage or poison get average damage from (Mortem Morsu + Breath of the Council)? And if I missed by Mortem Morsu I still can apply poison by Breath of the
Council or not?

Do modifiers affecting "recovery rate" (Trickster, map mod) affect the total instant leech amount recovered by a hit with Vaal Pact?

Path of Building says that this stat does in fact modify the leech per hit, although I'm sceptical on whether it's right or not.

More specifically about my build in progress: Does having increased recovery rate of life from Ascendant-Trickster (and Pantheon, maybe) increase a hit's instant leech amount and cause The Retch 200% Life Leech applies to enemies Chaos Damage to increase? This is assuming Ascendant-Slayer's Life Leech effects are not removed at Full Life is allocated as well.

Hi there,
I have several questions regarding frost blades. My apologies if they have already been answered :3

Does the Melee physical damage support gem works with frost blade (and 100% ice conversion), increasing the physical damage converted by the skill in cold damage?

Why does the threshold jewel Fight for Survival works without allocating the 4 dexterity nodes around (to get 40 dext) ?

Frost Blades deals a melee hit which shoots projectiles. Melee Physical Damage will boost all physical damage and all damage that has been converted from physical in the melee hit, but not the projectiles.

In Patch 2.6.0 threshold jewels had their attribute requirement lowered from 50 to 40 and no longer require the attributes to be allocated. You can understand this from the updated wording, which says "With at least 40 Dexterity in Radius," i.e., there exists 40 Dexterity worth of nodes in the radius; there is no word "allocate" or "select" in the jewel description anymore.
