This is not a guide, pobs are scuffed and for testing purposes only. If somebody does a testrun and has some feedback hmu on discord. Pob is currently calculating the dmg incorrectly. Not sure what's wrong exactly but play around with chaos res in config and you'll see for yourself! I' MIGHT make this into an actual build once we see patchnotes. If Archmage doesn't get nerfed and no crazy transfigured gems come out this is my most likely candidate rn.

This is really good. One thing I'd add on the despair ring - consider Awakener Orbing it if those orbs are cheap. Donor item an awful despair on hit Hunter ring; recipient item an Amethyst Ring with one of shaper curse mitigation, warlord global crit multi, or Shaper or Crusader global crit. Shaper Amethysts are usually cheap early, and I'm particularly partial to the curse mitigation Shaper suffix.

@nach4642Ай бұрын
I'm pretty sure ignore works just like penetration. It doesn't modify enemy resistance like a curse or exposure would. So if elemental res is the highest then it would apply the hit as if the monster had no resistance. There is no actual confirmation of this, but it is also explicitly stated (in other forum posts) how reducing res works and 'ignore' was never included. And then just from a sanity perspective it would be very strange to create 'ignore' but force it to go down the list of resistances until it hit chaos and then make people play contradiction exactly the same way as the base (un)transfigured gem. edit: added (un)
@PalsteronАй бұрын
What I did for testing was basically activate the exarch altar that gives 80% chaos and fire res. I didn't feel a difference. Which means that the fire res being as high as the chaos res or higher SHOULD negate the res entirely. If it didn't work that way, I would've had 80% chaos res mobs which I would've definitely noticed. Always possible I made some kind of logical error though with the rest of my gear but this will be the running theory for me for now.
@sirgogАй бұрын
@@Palsteron if you want to be really thorough, POEDB has resist profiles for all map bosses. You could engineer a situation where a boss has extreme chaos res but not so high ele resists - have a cursebot attack the map boss's fire res (ele weak/flammability) and tap Exarch altars for +chaos/fire res. Then compare this to the same boss but when the cursebot doesn't intervene. If your hypothesis is right, it'll be extremely obvious, the cursebot will decrease your damage by a factor of 4 by reducing the boss's fire resist below the chaos res. The roll range for damage on pure chaos skills is (almost always) 80-120% of base damage, so a factor of 4 will be extremely obvious.
@codrinp4837Ай бұрын
Ignore works like a separate flag entirely. It's more like... "for the purpose of this calculation, treat ele res as 0". But it never modifies the monster res itself. So in a party situation, the Templar critting or not has 0 impact on how much dmg the other person is doing. The other scenarios all involve situations of modifying the monster res in some way or a debuff that interacts with that res. Inquisitor just skips the ele res check entirely and calculates dmg at "100%". This is also why you'd do LESS dmg if a monster had resistance in the massive negatives. So in the interactions with hexblast, it doesn't even matter when the crit condition is checked in the logic, it still checks against the same monster res stats since those stats are never altered.

@heqitao13 күн бұрын
Thx for all the work Pal. One question, as I am not a build maker, just a not very good build enthusiast. How would the new Warden ailment nodes work with Hexblast? Would it apply the 2 Scorches, 2 sec Freezes, Hoarfrost and Shocks? The 2 Scorches would lower Elemental Resists even more than Inquisitor and Despair could take care of Chaos Resist if you still wanted to use Hexbalst of Contradiction. Avatar of the Wilds doesn't look like it would work as is increases Elemental Damage so the last Lab Points are up for grabs depending on whether or not Tinctures could be helpful. As a Ranger you could potential steal Gathering Winds, Master Surgeon etc. in endgame. Or am I just completely off base here? I guess it wouldn't work as "you" need to inflict the Ailments, not the Mines.

I played Hexblast of Contradiction Inquisitor in Affliction. My build key differences was: I used Curtain Call with tristacking and Rebuke of the Vaal + Spellblade Support + Battlemage Ascendancy (i used forbidden jewels because they are quite cheap for this node). Also I used Profane proxy with Punishment over Shock Skitterbot and Curse on hit gloves with Enfeeble/TempChains. Got it to about 35 million pinnacle dps.

If you're talking about +2 to aura gems, then it only affects the gems that have the aura tag. So Hexblast would not benefit from that. It's not an considered an aura until it's actually effected by the support on the cast. You can always check in POB or in game as well just to make sure.

Even the leveling process is pretty fun once you get Pyroclast Mines I think in Act 3. Insane damage and with automation it's even better. Before then, just set your detonate button to something that you don't mind holding the button the whole time. For me, I use detonate on TAB and throw mines with the E key. Super easy.
