Does culling strike goes through energy shield?
|
Hi guys i have a quick question.If i manage to bring a mob or boss health down to below 10% but after awhile if its energy shield regenerates will culling strike still work?or do i have to bring down the energy shield for the culling strike to trigger on the <10% health?

Yes, it should work. Culling checks Current Life versus Max Life. Why would it care about Energy Shield.

Think I saw it working and really no reason it shouldn't.
If you want to check just slap a high-level added chaos and culling on low-level incinerate and find yourself a necromancer.

I've search an answer to this question (forum, reddit, ...), still nothing sure.
Is anyone sure about that ? Is Culling Strike on monster "<10% HP + 100% e-shield" an instant kill ? |

Yes, I am entirely certain about that.

The energy shield is a defense. Once the hit defeats the defenses of the opponent (armor, block, evasion, dodge, energy shield) it reduces HP. If the HP fails the 10% life check they die from culling strike.
If something doesn't die from culling strike they are somehow defeating the hit with their defenses. Last edited by Skywalkerfx#3158 on Apr 12, 2014, 9:03:05 AM

I could test it a few minutes ago and it doesn't pierce ES. I had to hit 3 times before the full ES depletes and then I could cull the mob.
edit: tested again, culling strike definitely pierces through ES. Ranger builds list: /917964 When two witches watch two watches, which witch watches which watch? If the witches watching watches watch the same watch while you watch which witch watches which watch, they switch watches; then, the watch switching witches watch which watch you watch. Watching witches watch watches is not for the faint of heart... Last edited by Panini_aux_olives#1967 on Apr 13, 2014, 8:53:02 AM
