PoE 2 servers are restarting in: .
They should be back up in approximately .Questioning "Overshock"
|
Having never played a lightning build before, I'd like someone in the know to help here:
The Teaser suggests that a new passive is coming allowing your shocks to give 60% increased damage taken, rather than the standard 30%. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2779241 Considering that the shock formula is based on an unknown 'ailment threshold' Was anyone shocking bosses for the full amount of 30% increased damage taken in 3.9 league? https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Version_3.9.0#Monster_Changes If no one was shocking for the full amount, then the new passive "Overshock" would be much less exciting, since if you cannot reach the 30% cap, increasing the maximum to 60% is as useful as tits on a bull.

shock doesnt max at 30%. it maxes at 50%. overshock node will allow you to get this to 60% instead, but it's not that big of a jump.
and no, nobody is shocking bosses for 50% https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Shock |

" i think it pretty much doable with pain seeker and stack shock effect but yeah most of players not gonna do that anyway. |

see shock is pretty garbage IMO.
i highly doubt anyone was shocking for the full 50% with the new hp values etc. you'd have to hit something so hard in order to get that 50% boost, that you wouldn't even need that 50% boost. there in lays the problem with shock. its useless when you need it most, and most useful when you don't need it at all. kind of like curses (to a lesser extent). it'll be really nice when these on hit effects being linked to hit damage are no longer linked to hit damage. because it makes them shit and always has. its why they changed ignite poison and bleed. its getting time to change the non damaging ailments in the same way |

i mean, NON hit sources of shock dont suck.
skitterbots always shock for 15%. same thing with that 'shock nearby enemies when you focus' jewelry mod that nobody ever uses :P but yes, it would be nice if i could shock something BEFORE i kill it. |
