Force Shaper, instant chaos on physical hit?
|
I've been wondering with this talent, it says that it will give you 5% extra chaos damage from your physical damage, so does this mean that if i hit an enemy with lets say Cleave that i would deal physical damage AND chaos damage instantly at the same time?
Or does Force Shaper only increase the chaos damage over time from other skills like Essence Drain etc? Last bumped on Jan 13, 2017, 2:17:27 PM

it applies direct chaos damage, it should work the same way hatred and added fire damage work. I dont think it does anything for stuff like essence drain.
I love all you people on the forums, we can disagree but still be friends and respect each other :)

It works exactly the same way as added fire, Hatred, Atziri flask...
You deal 200 physical damage before, now you deal 200+10chaos. Edit: Snork the Ninja! 3.5 build: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2299519 Last edited by Peterlerock#5171 on Jan 13, 2017, 8:07:42 AM

I see thanks a lot.
So a follow up question, just to be sure about something: Since it deals instant chaos damage everytime i attack, do chaos damage increase nodes (like on the Ascendancy Occultist tree) etc increase the chaos damage of Force Shaper aswell then? Last edited by Mexiun#6609 on Jan 13, 2017, 8:11:00 AM

You seem to be under the impression that Chaos Damage is inherently damage over time?
Chaos is a damage type that works the same as Physical and the three Elements; it can exist as flat Damage (ex. item affixes, the Support), or Damage over Time (Poison, Essence Drain). It's far from exclusively DoT. :) As for your question: Chaos damage is Chaos damage, so yes, that will work :P Note that Increased Chaos Damage will be additive with your Increased Physical/Attack Damage due to coming from a source of "Physical added as X". Probably not too impressive all in all, and for less than 5% of your total damage? Eh. You'd need some other Chaos damage sources to make that Chaos damage investment worthwhile. |

ya viper is right, its not worth trying to scale the 5% extra chaos damage on its own. Its based off your physical damage so just scale your physical damage and that will in turn scale any elemental/chaos damage that is based off the phys.

Okay so i just focus on physical damage and not chaos damage for the Force Shaper?
What about doing both chaos and physical nodes? Is it worth it? |
