Fortress pulse-explosion

I also cannot find any evidence that e.g. % monster damage or physical as extra affects these. The pulse explosion deals some base physical damage so we'd notice a significant increase in damage from e.g. 200% phys as extra.
If you get shocked, marked for death, or have lower resistances / damage reduction, then of course you take more damage. That's how this game works. The opposite of knowledge is not illiteracy, but the illusion of knowledge.

" Oh boy. Just for funnsies. Helm: Missing 2nd corrupt implicit No quality. Amulet: not a reflect simplex, could be +8 if thats what youre stacking. Chest: Missing 2% quality Belt: No corrupt implicits Boots: life not T1, eldritch implicits low tier, lvl72 base, no quality Ring1: no corrupt implicits, not divined, Ring2: the rare ring is just so bad... Weapon: missing corrupt implicit, missing enchantment, missing quality. Gloves: i dont think a single affix is T1. lvl 72 base. seemingly useless phys damage prefix. low tier eldritch and all your jewels look scuffed. “Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.”

" Let's add a bottled faith and dying sun to the list along with a sublime vision. Flames and madness. I'm so glad I didn't miss the fun.

"I did (say that at least some monster mods affect it). See here: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3876025/page/8#p26489998 And this is based on testing, not speculation. No wonder it's lost, it's in the middle of the jungle!

" How did you test this though? Seems very difficult, as it seems like there is always monsters present. I clear my fortress pretty well before doing the encounter and at the end of the event there is always still plenty of monsters in the hallways again that would be responsible for any ignite/shocks. “Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.”

" Yep exactly. Its why I died in a random 8-mod rippy t16 map but it barely does half my hp in alch&go maps. Its 100% affected by certain map mods. And that just sucks. |

" It doesn’t suck, it’s simply a matter of difficulty scaling. Your current build just isn’t prepared to handle the content. Windows 11, 9950X3D, RTX 4090, 96GB DDR5, 14,100 MB/s SSD, 15,360x2160p @240Hz Ultra 4K Gaming & Workspace Powerhouse

" No, the content is overtuned and should not be affected by map mods. My build is absolutely min-maxed out and has all perfect bis gear. I only ever got oneshot by this 1 time, and that's enough reason to want it nerfed. Last edited by Toforto#2372 on Dec 19, 2025, 5:17:46 PM

" Of course the damage is affected by map mods, anything that affects your defenses will impact all damage from all sources. The debate is on if map mods that buff monster damage affect the pulses. “Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.”

" Let me do the math for you. Your build has almost no defenses. Some map mods reduce your defenses. 1 defense - 3 defense = bad build goes dead. Edit: my apologies. *one perfectly tuned BiS equipped bad build “Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.” Last edited by Piousqd#0073 on Dec 19, 2025, 5:25:03 PM
