Chaos Inoculation vs monsters that damage life over time ?
|
Hi there,
I'd like to try a Chaos Inoculation toon, but how does it work with the kind of bear monster at the end of Act Two, that deals damage over time directly to the life pool ? Getting in aura range = death ? Thanks |

Have not played with it myself but I am reasonable sure any damage that bypasses ES is considered Chaos damage. CI makes you immune to such damage.

I was wondering the same thing, but just to confirm they can't damage you since you only have 1 hp. Same with blood rage. Since it drains life and you only have 1 hp it doesn't so the only way you die is if your ES goes down.
Bloodrage + CI = good combo as there is no downside other than mana cost and duration of the skill which is the least of your worries. 3 frenzy ( 4 if specced ) and you can flicker strike or AA fast. |

" There's exactly one exception to this: caustic mana flasks. Don't drink these if you've got Chaos Inoculation. I have wandered through insanity;
I have walked the spiral out. Heard its twisted dreamed inanity In a whisper, in a shout. In the babbling cacophony The refrains are all the same: "[permutations of humanity] are unworthy of the name!" |

" THIS. I was trying to figure out what kept killing me and realized it was that. =P |

" My lvl 51 shadow has a CI build. The bears you mention, as well as anything that normally drains life (i.e. life leech mobs) either through attacks or auras is draining from energy shield once you have CI. The only 2 things that can kill you bypassing the shield that I'm aware of are caustic mana pots and blood magic supports / passive. |

" Glad, that I found this thread. Also I didn't knew that caustic mana pots are deadly, if one uses CI. Maybe one should add these to "Mechanics thread"? The Unofficial Fan Art Thread:
