Blasphemy + Despair + Decaying Hex
|
Doesn't look like a bug really. Decaying Hex is a support gem, which support curses. This means you have to put curse in a skill slot and Decaying hex in a support slot. But you have Blasphemy in skill slot, which is not a curse itself. This leads to Decaying Hex providing no effect on supported skill(which is Blasphemy, not the curse) since support gems don't affect each other.

" Buddy you should really just look at how meta skills work and make sure you know what you're even talking about before you post. Good grief just confidently, utterly wrong. |

Yeah just ran into this myself, incredibly disappointed. Made a bug report.
I can understand if GGG doesn't want that interaction to work, since they've made it clear they want to avoid walking simulator play where they can. But there's nothing in the text of any of the gems to indicate this wouldn't work. Bug or not I do hope they enable it *some* way. |

Best Chaos DoT build is pathfinder incinerate scaling fire damage, ingite magnitude, wither magnitude, and skill duration.
Incinerate with blackflame ring makes you scale chaos dot with ignite from fire damage so scaling fire damage and pen will increase your chaos ignite. You then scale the ignite with despair and wither with acts as a 70% shock (with +40% magnitude) for chaos damage. Use cast on ignite level 3 essence drain (we aren't directly scaling chaos damage) with chain and withering touch so you always max wither enemies. Now you have fire hit damage scaling chaos dot and scaling it with both despair and wither. Once you have max skill duration, you can stop using essence drain for wither wince withering presence will get you to max and you can slot in ice wall on your cast on ignite for massive CC. Pathfinder is a must since incinerate moves so slow you need to mobility from the ascendancy and mobility support to make it viable. With high skill duration you literally paint the map with burning ground for massive chaos DoT. |

I just want Decaying Hex to scale with actual nodes in the passive tree.
Not so much for Blasphemy, but for Hand of Chayula! I'm trying to throw hands, Chaos style. Beat mobs up using my big ole INT BRAIN. Brains for FIST But with 900 INT it only does 580 damage per second. Doesn't scale with anything else. My nerd-rage fall out build, was a let down. Hopefully they fix it. |

Was wondering about this interaction myself.
Hopefully they will atleast clarify the tooltips and not allow decaying hex support for blasphemy so it is obvious that this does not work because blasphemy is the main skill with a curse linked as a support. If not intended I hope this gets fixed - would be a nice addition to the witch. But I am pretty sure occultist will come as last ascendancy with chaos dot stuff. |
