Path of Exile 1 Gameplay Help and Discussion - Mastermind of Discord - Elementalist Question - Forum

Hi all, does anyone know if a skill like Herald of Ice or Summon Ice Golem proc's the -25% lightning resistance for Mastermind of Discord, since they are ice related? Or does it only work for "active" skills such as Freezing Pulse that do direct damage? Are curses included, such as Frostbite? Many thanks!

As usual, you just need to read the passive description as closely as possible - "damage penetrates 25% lightning resistance if you've used a cold skill recently". So, it says you just need to 'use' the skill that has a 'cold' tag, so you can summon an ice golem or cast frostbite to trigger it. However, golem won't trigger it by its actions and cwdt triggering a golem won't do it either because in either case you didn't technically 'use a skill', in the former it's your minion doing whatever and in latter it's the skill triggering on its own. Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs. ◄[www.moddb.com/mods/balancedux]► ◄[www.moddb.com/mods/one-vision1]►	Posted by raics#7540 on Jan 31, 2017, 4:41:04 AM Quote this Post

Thanks! Just wasn't sure if a summon counted as a skill. Basically I can resummon a golem to keep MoD up :) Does Herald of Ice count as well?

Elementalist Pro Tips : Using Elemental Hit proc all the 3 penetration, you just have to use it from time to time to keep the buff. Last edited by IceDeal#5895 on Jan 31, 2017, 7:29:12 AM	Posted by IceDeal#5895 on Jan 31, 2017, 7:28:55 AM Quote this Post

Anything works, you can turn on an aura or buff, summon a minion, place a totem, throw a trap or lay a mine. As long as the skill you used yourself by pressing a button had some elemental tag MoD will activate. So, turning on Herald of Ice will work, but those Ice Bursts it triggers won't.
