MoM + CI inconsistently working

I’m playing a CI + MoM Hiero using Foulborn Mind of the Council, and I’m getting some really random deaths that I can’t explain.

More tests: https://youtu.be/iL-yTMw531A?si=xGPBDRVU9d7yKT74


How the defense is supposed to work:

MoM:
40% base
10% Hiero
10% Clarity Watcher’s Eye
10% 10 Power Charges with Aylardex
30% Foulborn Mind of the Council


→ So 100% damage taken from Mana with CI. I also tested 101% MoM (11 power charges) and the issue still happens.

Damage conversion:
50% ele taken as chaos (Divine Flesh)
10% ele taken as chaos (Bound by Destiny)
40% cold & fire taken as lightning (Font of Thunder)


Most of the time the build feels super tanky and works exactly like it should. But sometimes I just get deleted as if MoM/CI/taken-as aren’t doing anything.

I even have a clip standing in Shaper beam and cold degen just fine, but then I randomly die to Shaper balls that usually barely touch me.

UP

I don't want this build to be bugged the whole league when it's one of the rarest time we get to use 100% MoM in a league.

PLS GGG I beg you

bump and I really want to know the reason of this.

I have watched every clip and looked meticulous at his PoB and added info of reddit comments and still can not find any answer to why he randomly dies.

my strongest guess would be that it must be connected to being crit hit (as this would explain the random nature of deaths occuring) but why it skips mom mechanics i cant explain. maybe foulborn council bugged with crit hits?

please ggg let us know !

+1 waiting for fix.

I finally figured out what’s going on. For some reason, you need to overconvert the fire and cold damage into lightning for the setup to actually work. So the current solutions are:

Using a Watcher’s Eye with Purity of Lightning – “X% of Fire and Cold Damage taken as Lightning” with at least 11% (the lower the roll, the better, but it must be over 10%), plus either a Foulborn Inpulsa for no reservation or an Essence Worm ring; or

Using an Incandescent Heart to achieve the conversion.


Please GGG, fix the conversion problem!

A solution!! Amazing. Now I can finally make a build using these interactions too.

Is it confirmed that you don't die anymore wearing incandescent hear? It does specify hit damage, so maybe DoTs were ok before? (since you tanked shaper beams, for example)

I didnt test with incandescent heart but someone else already did and confirmed that it works

Note that incandescent heart shifts the hit damage only, so you'll going to die to generic fire/cold dot.
