Why shouldn´t chaos-dmg get a secondary effect ?
|
Well you know Fire ignites , Lightning shocks , physical stuns and cold freezes.
The reason why i would say that chaosdmg is relative worthless to my elemental-wanderer[he uses low elemental dmg of all sorts, this somehow plays like a painmaster on crit] is that: -monsters dont have a big energyshield -the amount of chaosdmg on the gems is to low (other mods like increase elemental dmg for weapons doesnt do much to them) -but most important, i have a highcritrating but chaos makes no use of it. 2 possible solutions that would work for me: -chaos crits reduce the lightradius of the attacked opponent on crit. As long as no other Blind-Skillgem gets implemented this could be my source of tricking my opponents into thinking of needing to use a potion. And for pve it will serve me as an distraction-ability. -chaos only penetrates shields when it crits. This way we could get bigger numbers for the gems. For pvp it would be more of a surprise if suddenly the lifepool get a bigger hit instead of a low constant drain. And for pve, monster sometimes would die faster if they have a high-shield. Do you guys use chaos-dmg? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcKqhDFhNHI

Chaos dmg will pwn in pvp.

"Everything stuns, not just physical. Physical has no specific effect on crit, only the elemental types do. "Chaos damage is not elemental damage, so it being worthless to an elemental damage based character is not a problem as far as I can see. Not everything is useful to everyone. Elemental damage works extra well with critical strikes, that doesn't mean everything should. That would just make critical strikes part of all builds rather than some. "Yes, but not with elemental and crit builds, because chaos damage doesn't work with those. Why should it? | |
" No, because right now it's basically not in the game. Judging what needs to be done with it based on a single weak support gem is too hasty, I think. |
|
" The poison based agility skills also do Chaos damage. |

Chaos damage is meant to have a crit effect as im aware from when I talked to Chris. It was probably just not thought about as we don't have many skills to do with it right now : P. Im sure one will be added in the future.
This is also the reason it looks bad at the moment. Its not actually meant to be purple that was the old color : P Ill be fixing this today however so the chaos damage hit effect will look different in 0.93 woop. No more weird black boxs and purple/blue colors. *edit* Actually scrap that the purple looks cool. Something weirds just going on. I like all the fluffy animals[img]http://i.imgur.com/mO8dR.png[\img]

Also, not a lot of monsters if any have chaos resistance..

I think there isnt even a thing called chaos resistance, it can't be resisted, it does full damage every time.
