Kongming's Stratagem highlight
|
Hello everyone,
This will be second item highlight thread, this time specifically about mod "30% reduced spell taken from blinded enemies" on this item: The reason i looked into this was the question- does it stack with fortify? And the answer is yes. With this mod and playing as juggernaut having 40% increased fortify effect, 8% reduced elemental damage taken while at maximum endurance charges results in following reductions: against attacks phys/chaos attacks- 28% reduction against elemental attacks- 36% reduction against phys/chaos spells (when blinded)- 58% reduction against elemental spells (when blinded)- 66% reduction That last number 66%.. it basically triples hp pool against elemental spells.
proofing that it works
The test to proof that it does stack executed in shavroness arena in merciless. Recorded two runs frame by frame- first with end charges and second with endurance charges against blinded shavrone.
in first run received damage numbers from lightning balls were: 779 31 865 814 972 669 1156 996 864 342 596 331 727 618 698 529 669 665 740 1094 914 537 and second run: 288 268 401 341 323 356 168 352 341 401 484 222 353 251 379 349 259 266 first run average damage- 709.3636 second- 321.8333 including average regenerated life per frame: first run average damage- 721.3636 second- 333.8333 Now if fortify and spell damage reduction stacks the ratio of these two numbers should be near the theoretical ratio of received damages after reduction: (100-66)/(100-36) theoretical received damage ratio: 0.53125 actual received damage ratio: 0.462781 if it does not stack that ratio would be 0.7 and since actual ratio is 0.462781 which is way closer to theoretical stacking number- this means that it does stack. Althou juggernaut isn't the best choice since you are using 1-handed weapon, spell caster's shield and have a hassle to blind enemies. There are quite a few other options althou usually not as high in reduction but most likely better- berseker's- 6% reduced damage taken if u have killed recently gladiator- 10% reduced phys damage taken while at max end charges gladiator other node- 6% reduced against bleeding enemies champion- 6% if u have taunted recently path finder- 8% reduced ele damage taken saboteur- 6% reduced against blinded trickster- 8% if u have spended 200 mana recently elementalist- 8% elemental after being hit for that element. Imo best would be to skip entirely fortify effect nodes in the south and go for elementalist/path finder , secondly would be trickster/berserker/saboteur. It would definitely be best with CI, but on other hand it might be used to enhance life builds at some extent.
