Pierce Dervish vs. SR 30-31

[@NiohNiohYT]

Hello! Can you explain this belt you are using? I made the same build, but I see no point in the belt over any other better dmg/resistances belt, Gargoyle even with 2 normal affixes, Mythical Blade Breaker Sash also, more skill points and dmg? I don't see any need for any skill your belt provides, and Acid and Ele dmg is 0 anyways, so nothing to convert. Thanks!

@@NiohNiohYT Belt is a crucial piece here. It converts Cold and Acid flat from Lethal Assault into Pierce.

@Mad1Lee oh I see! When I checked 2nd tab I saw 0 acid and 0 elemental, and thought it might not do anything. Didnt know it affects skill dmg too such as lethal assault! Thanks a lot!

@@NiohNiohYT lethal assault provides a global acid and cold flat damage buff that applies to all of your weapon damage attacks. Belt, chest and Bladetwister ring convert like ~80% of it into Pierce. So technically there should be some acid/cold leftover damage shown in the second tab.

@@Mad1Lee oh but only when lethal assault is active? I cheched the tab when idling aroud without LA active, so maybe that was the reason why it was 0 for me (cold was like 20 dmg and acid 0)

@@NiohNiohYT yes, exactly, when Lethal Assault is up
