Path of Exile 1 Gameplay Help and Discussion - QUESTION New Penance Brand interaction with Runebinder - Forum

Hey there, i was planning my Affliction league starter and came across the reworked penance brand. " Penance Brand has been significantly simplified. It no longer spreads energy to nearby enemies or causes regular pulses while at maximum energy. It now immediately causes an explosion when the branded enemy reaches maximum energy. It no longer causes an explosion when it expires or detaches from an enemy. It no longer has an attached duration — instead, it remains attached to the enemy until it reaches maximum energy, then expires immediately once the explosion occurs. It no longer gains damage or radius per energy. It now deals 177-265 base Physical Damage at gem level 1 (previously 18-27), scaling up to 2541–3811 gem level 20 (previously 170-254), has an added damage effectiveness of 570% (previously 40%), activates every 0.1s while attached (previously every 0.5s) and has a base radius of 2.8 metres (previously 0.8 metres). It now deals 30% less Damage with Ailments. This states, the brand explodes once the enemy reaches maximum energy (assuminfg 20 as it was before). What happens, when i spec Runebinder and cast two brands?` Both brands would add one energy per 0.1 seconds to the enemy. That's a given. When the enemy then gets its 20th stack, do both brands explode? Last bumped on Dec 3, 2023, 7:15:35 AM	Posted by kyrion#7419 on Dec 2, 2023, 7:27:34 AM Quote this Post
That is certainly what it sounds like.	Posted by Aldonés#1294 on Dec 2, 2023, 5:17:17 PM Quote this Post
