Need Verification: Decay + Cruelty?
|
Just need some verification.
Currently trying: Dark Pact + Decay Support + Cruelty Support Does Decay Support become affected by the Cruelty Buff? I currently cannot tell. Anyone know yet? Last bumped on May 31, 2021, 8:21:45 AM

Cruelty will support your primary skill, since Decay Support doesn't grant any skill, like Shockwave or Impending Doom Supports do. The effect of cruelty does not benefit decay though, if you want to play decay though, there really is only 1 skill option, storm burst.
Explosions can multiply the decay damage by another ~750% if you invest hard enough into skill effect duration. Other skills often will say more damage with "hits and ailments" which will not apply to decay the way storm burst does. best possible thing is a replica shako I guess.

Cruelty buff gives more damage over time to skills supported by Cruelty. Decay is indeed part of skill's DoT.
"Meanwhile you use Efficacy with the same stat "Supported Skills deal #% more Damage over Time". |

" Thanks for the correction, I forgot about the actual cruelty effect. I guess if your hits do enough damage, cruelty maybe worth using for decay. btw In my setup, swift affliction is usually better than efficacy, but efficacy puts me over another 0.4s breakpoint which translates to about better than right now and it's easier to colour right now so I'm using that |

" Is this confirmed? I've been messing around with Decay a bit in PoB, it doesn't seem to reflect this. No damage boost on breakpoints, I've squeezed the duration of Storm Burst to 2,81s and the Decay damage stayed low. Last edited by ExiledSarin#6541 on May 31, 2021, 8:22:45 AM
