Patch Notes - 1.0.5 Patch Notes - Forum

While this puts it in line with how fire and chaos degen has been working, those degens can be increased by % increased damage of their elements, unlike puncture. Like seriously, wow. wait what? i thought generic increased physical damage mods affected Puncture's DoT? i had a build working around the idea of the bleed DoT getting massive buffs Cuddles' DoT trapper build: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/683322	Posted by Cuddlepaws#1291 on Jan 8, 2014, 10:22:53 PM Quote this Post

I don't know where you're getting this information from. Increased physical damage and increased damage over time do affect the bleed from Puncture. Armour has no effect on physical damage over time. Puncture wasn't "stealth" nerfed - the patch notes for 1.0.2 stated that some damage over time skills had been rebalanced.

Hey GGG, maybe this is a bug but unsure. Nowhere in the patch notes does it mention a further "hidden" nerf to Cast on Critical strike where two of the same spells will no longer proc. This nerf that wasn't even documented has effectively destroyed a build that I created that I spent well over 200 exalts on and disassembling my only other major character. I would love some feedback as to whether or not this is a bug or meant to happen because it seems like bullshit that it was not documented.

If CoC can still cast X + Y + Z spells on a single trigger, wtf is wrong with X + X + X spells? Multiple builds of mine need a big overhaul (including some that were far from OP). Let's all have fun with level 70+ characters with level 1 gems. sigh Many lewt. Much desync. Such rewarding. Wow. According to forum mods "sandwich" is considered an offensive word. Who knew?

the only thing this changes for danmaku builds is less EK put into ur link for cast on crit. replace 2 ek with coldsnap and storm call. ull get more utility and dps with shock stacks....also less worry about reflect. u will also become a shock stak mobile freeze mine. it doesnt hurt makus that much, in fact by getting power charges and freezing enemies u will double ur survivability.

It's pretty cool that Immortal Call will now nullify Puncture DoT.	Posted by mimivirus#7960 on Jan 8, 2014, 10:32:23 PM Quote this Post

Different gems will cast simultaneously, the same skills will not.	Posted by Derpadactyl#2873 on Jan 8, 2014, 10:33:30 PM Banned Quote this Post

Survivability wasn't an issue for me. Reflect wasn't an issue for me. I built more tanky than most do, and used double EK (with no damage supports and no hatred) for dps. The only way I can see to keep mine "working" is to replace my second EK with multistrike, which will just set me to desync hell. I haven't pumped spell damage at all, so chucking some random spell in to replace it will not do me any good. Many lewt. Much desync. Such rewarding. Wow.
