Essence of Anguish Soul Shard Gem
It says "When you kill an enemy you deal the damage done. By the Death Blow to all enemies within 25 yds. Pets and Follower can’t trigger this effect.
It stops working as you go to higher GR levels. If you do any thing under 90 gr it works. If you do T16 Bounties, Rifts & GR’s if works fine.
I have tested it on different GR’s. I did a 90 GR and it works fine. I did a 100 GR and it works like 50 to 60% of the time. Then I did a 110 GR and it only works about 25% of the time. But it stops working altogether after 110 GR.
Plus I don’t want hear well that is how it works. It doesn’t say anything it will stop working on higher GR’s. It should work as good as it does on lower GR’s no matter what GR you are doing.
This is not a bug.
Imagine that you have a group of 50 mobs, and they all have 10,000,000 health each. You do a killing blow on one of them for 15,000,000 and that is replicated to all 50 mobs. They all die, because 15,000,000 damage was enough to kill them, as it’s more than their health pool of 10,000,000.
Now you go into a much higher GR. Remember that mob health increases by 17% for every GR increase. You started at GR90, and went up to a GR110. That means the mob health increased by (1.17)^20 = 23.10559 which means that the exact same mobs would have 10,000,000 * 23.10559 = 231,055,900 health.
Now you start hitting the mobs for 15,000,000 at a time. When you get a killing blow of 15,000,000 that is replicated to all 50 of the mobs but this time you’re taking 15,000,000 away from a health pool of 231,055,900 rather than a health pool of 10,000,000 so the mobs all get hit for 15,000,000 but don’t die because they’ve all got 216,055,900 health left.
Yes I understand all of what you wrote.
The death blow puts out a large greenest ring. The ring isn’t even showing up even when I’m killing monsters. So to me it isn’t working.
So if I’m killing mobs or what ever. The greenest ring doesn’t show up, so to you it is working OK Right
By what it says if I kill a enemy you deal the damage done. By the Death Blow to all enemies within 25 yds. It’s not showing up!!!
Does your build have a lot of Area Damage on it?
I think it has about 67% area damage Why?
I think the poison explosion doesn’t go off if Area Damage is what did the killing. As you go up in rift levels, Area Damage starts doing more of the work, so you’ll tend to see fewer poison explosions.

Thanks that is what it was. I took all my area damage out of the paragon and only have 17%. It is now working on a 110 GR.
