Does Blunt Trauma knockback work for totems?

It says "Knocks Back Enemies if you get a Critical Strike with a Staff" so I would assume no, but the again wiki says that Haemophilias "Bleeding Enemies you Kill Explode, dealing 5% of
their Maximum Life as Physical Damage" works, so not sure.

This second interaction with Haemophilias "Bleeding Enemies you Kill Explode, dose not actaully work the way you think it dose. You totem can apply bleed, but if it kills with a hit, the enemy won't explode.

But, if the bleed kills, its actually the player that killed the enemy, not the totem. You need to look at totem wording interactions in the wiki.

I can't find it anywhere, so I'm hoping to get some clarification here:

The Saviour sword clones + Bladestorm

I'm pretty convinced that they aren't limited by my bladestorm cap, and even tempted to say that each clone had its own cap.

Would this imply that their bleeds are stacked up separately as well? If I had taken Red Dance keystone to have up to 8 bleeds?

I went a weird bleed-rupture based Ranger with it this league, and while squishy, it did wonders for melting bosses. And I strongly believe this interaction had something to do with it.

If two players where to apply a bleed to a monster separately, only the strongest bleed will actually do damage to it. The monster is capped at having a certain amount of damaging bleeds applied to it with crimson dance, and adding more units with the saviour for example won't change that limit.

Hi ggg, my main question is how is possible to have a good amount of armour, life above 5k, all capped resistance to 75%, chaos res to 20% and still get one shot from a random mob? I really dont get it actually! and i dont understand how can i possible increase more damage mitigation when i have all capped! this just give me a stratospheric amount of anxiety playing the game and i actually dont understand the mechanics!

Thank you if u have time to answer my question

Sadly you're not supposed to reach a point where you are invulnerable and a god. The game is designed to kill you, not to have fun. It shows by the defences you need to survive 90% of the encounters. The rest (10%) is random and is a means to give players the feeling to strive better defenses/gear or to raise their own skill ceiling by playing more.

If you could just run straight in a line, it would get boring fast.

If you think this a good amount of defence you are deluded. You can defo be near invincible in the game and still do good damage.

Missing: Fortify, block, evasion, dodge, mom, more life or 10k energy shield, vaal keystone, 75% chaos res, etc.

if i need to get Niko to lvl 7 I need to delve to lv200 does that mean i need to do it my self or can i just join someone that is at lv 200+ and get niko to lv7.
And for Jun to go lv7 i need to kill them at rank 3 must it be on my betrayal board or can it be from a party members board?

Proximity shield & Heartbound Loop interaction.
Why damage from Heartbound Loop does not pass when the character is at the edge of the circle, if he is inside, then everything works.

If you think I'm going to tell him that he will reach a point of enough defense then you're deluded, honestly.

Can we get an official explanation how map equity works? I think the only "official" word about it were to karv in pm-s a long time ago.

Using the same DoT (eg. burning) in multiplayer doesn't work. Why is that still the case?

Q: How and when is the "While leeching" condition checked?

Example:
I use Eye of Innocence to damage myself. Ignites to trigger come from cyclone (with Avatar of Fire) and from Cast on Crit Volatile Dead (explosion and spell aspect). I gain more life on ignite than I get damage, through Ngamahu's Sign. I do see my life going up and down a tiny bit during this interaction. I gain leech instances through Eye of Innocence % of fire damage leeched.

Am I at any point during this qualifying for the "while leeching" condition? Or more importantly, do I qualify for "while leeching" when damage is calculated?

Follow-up:
1. How about when I gain "overleech" through Petrified Blood? I assume overleech itself doesn't count as "while leeching", but I was wondering if having the leech instance ready and waiting would be placed in a different spot in the order of calculations.
2. What if I both have leech instances active (through overleech) and am taking degen from Petrified Blood's delayed damage?
3. Does the Watcher's Eye mod ES on hit under discipline combined with the same selfdamage and a source of ES leech function the same way? I am assuming it's slightly different since I notice my ES in such a setup dropping more than my life does when splitting the damage through a Corrupted Soul Keystone.

Second follow-up:
1. Am I correct in assuming that the answer for the "while on full life" condition is the opposite of the "while leeching" condition through those scenarios?

Thanks for your time!

Can you please clarify how Witchfire Brew interacts with Despair Aura via Blasphemy?

When you use gem quality, Empower, +1 gem level items, and Enhance, you can get a much stronger Despair Aura via Blasphemy. What happens if you additionally use Witchfire Brew, do you simply add 40% increased DOT to your stronger Blasphemy aura or do you overwrite it with the weaker flask aura?

There seems to be an "opinion" around on the internet claiming Witchfire Brew's aura effect would get overwritten immediately by your Blasphemy aura but I never found any official confirmation.
