Questions about eschuta, fathom, and facets
I have a few questions about some damage % bonus I don't understand.
The first question is about Eschuta's Temper.
I've read that the +fire/lightning skill damage doesn't work as intended...
Basically, if I equip a +20% fire damage eschuta, will my damage be 20% higher? (Same question for lightning )
I've read on this forum that it will not work that way, the damage bonus would be added before the +skill items or something...
In this case, it would not be a really good orb?
Because adding 20% before the +skill is not a great bonus... the +skills usually give a HUGE amount of damage, the +20% before this add would be so small/irrevelant.. !?
This bring the 2nd question...
One of the weapon that seems to be the #1 cold sorc choice ( I'm only assuming, because I see people offering godly for it ) is the Death's Fathom...
This weapon add +30% cold damage, but... does it works?
If your frozen orb deal 1000 damage, will this weapon makes it 1300? ( or 1150 if it's only a 15% )
If someone who own eschuta or fathom could do a little testing for me, it would help me understand.
Something like :
"I deal X with fireball level 30 and HotO, I deal Y if I equip a +3/+20 eschuta instead of the hoto"
Or if there's a simple/exact explanation somewhere... :thumbup:
Last two questions are about the Rainbow Facet...
1st, does this damage is working like eschuta/fathom?
If you equip 4 * perfect rainbow facet, will your damage be 20% higher?
Or, again, is there some weird formula?
And last question, is there a list, somewhere, of the skills that are actually affected by the facets?
I've read that the lightning traps were NOT affected by facets, because they were considered "minions" by the game... but the sorceress' Hydras ARE affected, despite also being minions?
I don't want to play a guessing game with a jewel so valuable :scratchchin:
My question is mainly about these skills :
Poison Facets :
Poison nova
Poison javelin/Plague javelin
Rabies
Cold Facets :
Frozen orb
Blizzard
Hurricane
Lightning Facets :
Lightning sentry
First of heaven
Charged bolt
Fire facets :
Hydra
Fireball
Meteor
Fireclaw
The 5 druids Fire elemental skill ( I assume either "all of them work with facet", or "none of them work with facet" )
But obviously, if someone had a complete list of works/doesn't work, it would be even better ( I'm sure some other players are pondering the same questions :scratchchin: )
Thank you in advance :wink:
