Cremation vs Reflect?
|
Hello,
I wonder how the skill Cremation works on Reflect. Will it be like a trap so I don't get any reflect dmg or will it count as Firestorm and I get reflect dmg? I wonder because the skill duration is quite long and vs for example Atziri when she splits I might still have Cremation vulcanos up that hit her reflect clone.

Cremation reflects like any spell cast normally. It is my main damage ability and I have had a pretty easy time clearing except for elemental thorns.

actually its kinda strange
I had cremation on the reflect aura guy in racecourse and had zero reflect (ele weakness map uncapped) with aura active. then I tried my incinerate/firestorm and got chunked heavily so before that encounter Id say its reflected as anything else, but given the damage it deals and with like 40% fire res in the map I shouldve gotten chunked off that aura. yet I didnt. was very strange, but that boss bugged out quite often in his lifetime so maybe its a specific case |

I just tried a 15% ele reflect map. I am using cremation and volatile dead. Both descriptions say it can not be reflected so I thought I´m safe, but I died almost immediately. Whats wrong with that? The description of that gem is just wrong. It can get reflected. Or its a bug. Don´t know. Someone enlighten me here please. Whats going on?

" Both of those spells consist of two parts: - The initial explosion of the corpse - The secondary effect created (volcano or fireballs). The damage of the initial explosion is based on the corpse's maximum HP, is not affected by spell damage modifiers, and cannot be reflected. The base damage of the secondary effect is listed on the gem itself, is affected by all relevant modifiers, and gets reflected as usual. Last edited by Abdiel_Kavash#5296 on Dec 19, 2017, 4:51:12 PM

ok thanks for that information. The gem text should be describing that better. So far its very misleading and does not say that the other part can be reflected wich leaded me to die several times in a map wich I thought I can handle it due to missing description and also lost a divine vessel.
cheers. |

The description of both gems specifically states "The explosion of the corpse [...] cannot be reflected". It says nothing about the secondary effects, thus normal rules (including reflect) apply.
PoE can be very literal in its descriptions. |
