poison on attack question
|
i have just bought a viperscale armour for my blade vortex scion. it says 20% chance to Poison on Hit with Attacks . does this include magic like blade vortex or only physical? i only ask because i dont see it proc, but that could be because of a grpahical glitch or the mobs arent alive very long, except a few bosses( only in dried lake messing about)

Spells are not Attacks. Blade Vortex is a Spell.
"does this include magic like blade vortex or only physical?" Blade Vortex deals Physical damage. Not all Attacks deal Physical damage. The distinction between Spells and Attacks (plus DoT and secondary damage) has nothing to do with Damage types (Physical, Elemental, Chaos). |

thank you viper, so confusing, i know its all in the wording but sometimes a bit more clarity would be nice. still not a complete waste.
so when it says attacks, this is melee only? proud member of clanDA

" No, it is any skill with the "attack" keyword (as well as your basic attack, for what that's worth). That includes plenty of ranged attacks. Just anything where your weapon's base stats are used to determine damage. I recommend checking out a skill's keywords by hovering over the gem or reading the wiki. Very helpful when it comes to figuring out what works with each skill. Have you done something awesome with [url=http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Sire_of_Shards]Sire of Shards[/url]? PM me and tell me all about it!

attacks use weapons to deal damage
spells (and secondary effects) have their own base damage unrelated to weapons IGN: Eric_Lindros CET: Timezone Last edited by Ludvator#6587 on Jun 28, 2016, 7:34:15 AM
