At present, i am running a trappers build with this ring but can not tell if it actually procs at all.
The ring says it has a 50% to erupt when using damage over time effects, but i don’t see it working when I test it on target dummies,
The only thing I can think of is the traps are independent and have their own cast away from yours.
Has anyone had an experience with traps and this ring?
I think it’s just harder to see the explosions with poison but yes, it works with the trap, or anything else in rogue arsenal that poisons an enemy. As long as they are covered in your green goo, there is a chance for them to explode. The explosion looks more like a splash around them from what I recall playing a rogue as my first seasonal character. Easy to miss.
I guess I’ll ask this here since I got this ring also: Is there any lighting attacks that are DoT or are they independent ticks? Chain lighting, ball lighting for ex.?
I’ve tried it with my Rogue, it works with poison traps. Sometimes it feels like it’s hard to tell if it’s working, like did X’Fal’s just blow them up or did Hemomancy just proc? Lol.
The visual effect is kind of faint.
I think the idea is to stack different type of 1 dot. So for eg with sorc burning from firebolt enchant, firewall, incinerate/fireball, hydra all have their own chance to proc but thats just my assumption.
Yeah, I know burning is a DoT but I wondered if any lighting is? I think it’s all direct damage. The ring doesn’t seem to do anything. I tried it on my Infinimist and still saw no effect or faster clear it seemed.
I wanna say yes, I feel like mobs have popped after I used a trap, though I tend to zip through content
I can’t think of any lightning based DOTs, including crackling energy. It’s all direct damage ticks.
Thats what i thought too, thanks. It’s ok, my Necro can use it.
If you play Sorcerer you normaly use Fire Bolt enchant to get damage against burning so that a DoT to proc X’Fal
If you play Druid with Tempest Roar your critical strike with Toxic Claw passives apply a poison DoT to proc X’Fal, if you don’t have Tempest Roar with Legendary Parangon Constructil Tendril but that a lucky hit so its not too often.
Maybe you don’t see the effect with necro since there is to much effect on screen but monster tend to explode when X’Fal proc and for me i see it very often since that the only damage i dealt that can do critical damage
lighting is a DD (Direct Damage), there isnt any linger DoT (Damage over Time) effect for lighting.
Unless of course you use the flame as an enchancement slot. Than everything is a DoT ;0
Ah. I was sing Fireball Enchant but use Chain Lighting anbd Ball lighting now. I may switch it up and try. I think my Necro is just a better fit though, since almost all of the damage is dot on my build there.
Good info, thanks.
