That makes it even more clunky, especially with the moving bosses they walk away almost all the time.
Valthek takes me over 30 minutes with no real way to do it faster, 0 chance of farming that for a good roll or a trophy.
The most frustrating is that the bosses are easy, but just take a long long time to kill.

Personally I walk right up in Valteks face to purify him… usually coming out alive and with a successful hit. I use barb w/ maxed eagle stance and full vit

Anyone have a list of monsters in the t10 maze? Skills, type of magic used, offense, resistances ...

Just to get it straight. I need 265 % stacked all resist to mitigate the -100 % resistance in the T9 and T10 maze?

Q on MOONSTRIKE:

a) When the Moonstrike Buff is active, I receive the Weapon Physical Damage, correct? And Bladestorm damage is based on THAT damage, correct?

b) So if I take Paradigm Shift, which supposedly decreases my physical damage by -292%, does that mean Bladestorm should do NO damage? Or does it ONLY affect Moonbeam and the buff from Moonbeam is a separate thing entirely? It is VERY unclear in the skill description rather that decrease in physical damage affects your overall physical damage, or just Moonbeam.

I would like to ask：In THE VOID, Inarius and I are in the circle. Why do I suddenly die when I want to attack BOSS-Inarius? I didn't have any poisoning or Lilith's crematorium. What's the reason?
Inarius must stand in the circle, can't I stand in the circle and attack him?

Only 260% to get to the 90% cap.

Moonstrike gives you a buff that adds EWD and %life. Paradigm Shift converts all of that EWD bonus to innate elemental damage (IED) instead. EWD multiplies a warp blade's physical damage, IED multiplies a crystal sword's cold damage from dex. So if you take Paradigm Shift with a warp blade, Moonstrike won't add any damage. If you don't take Paradigm Shift with a crystal sword, Moonstrike won't add any damage.

Bladestorm's damage is based on your weapon damage, so yes, it's affected by the EWD or IED that you have.

So... Paradigm Shift only affects Moonstrike. So who the heck cares since Moonstrike is only used for the Buff anyways? I value the -20% cold resistance from dex much more than losing my physical damage from Moonstrike TBH... thanks for the info! So long as Bladestorm and Fullsulade still do full damage based on Moonstrike ED, that's all that matters to me!

The circle gives a debuff with -flat resistances to both you and Inarius. Iirc it's -100 or -150, so that's why you die. You can move Inarius to the edge of the circle so you can stay outside and not get the debuff.

Hi, guys! A question about poison dmg stacks.
I play as assasin and i have WayOfSpider and posion dmg on items (passive poison dmg)
But i also have

Scales of the Serpent

Scales of the Serpent
Gothic Plate (Sacred)

Socketed (6)

with Arachnomancy on attack (spell poison dmg?)
Do passive and spell posion dmg stacks?

UPD: Tested with Miasma on Helm. In ~70% cases when miasma procs, enemy just don't take dmg from poison at all. Because Miasma low lvl and has very little dmg in compare to WayOfSpider. Seems spell and passive poison dmg just overwrite each other no matter which is higher oO.

Also tested Arachnomancy. When it procs, enemy looses health ~twice faster but the duration is twice shorter, so the dmg is almost same => again seems passive and spell poison dmg doesn't stack with each other. Anyway i will glad to see other comments.

They do not stack. Passive damage is added to your weapon damage only, spell damage is added to spells only. There is one exception, that spell damage also increases the direct melee hit damage on the initial target.

And yeah, miasma damage sucks.

Poison damages also override each other, which is worth noting. Whichever poison instance is dealing the most damage per second. For example, if an enemy has been poisoned with 100 psn damage per second for 10 seconds (1000 total damage), and then let's say you hit them with your weapon and apply a 150 psn damage per second poison for 2 seconds (300 damage total), this second poison will override and cancel the first poison, and you will only deal the 300 damage, not the 1000 damage (or what's left of it).
