So, does new explosive strike for melee not work with ADCtH? Decided to clear Valbury for the first time and died when I met Valdaran. I can (could? Did not play latest patch much, especially on this char) go toe-to-toe with Fabius and Moosi, but this time I just couldn’t heal through the damage (I’ve got Haunted Steel in main-hand, Giant’s Blood and PB with 5 sec CD, regen is only 244 HPS).
I am not certain about ADCtH’s effectiveness vs. Bosses. But it could be that you’re using a bugged version of GD where ADCtH didn’t work on bosses. This was fixed. Update the game and get the hotfix
Any idea when it was? I died to Valdaran on December 26. Did Fabius now, was okayish. Really dangerous at first, but I forgot to slam fingers on the keyboard to constantly apply debuffs. Speaking of debuffs and resistances, ADCtH is reduced by life leech resistance? Forgot about it, I know for sure that life leech can be resisted, but can’t remember if ADCtH is reduced by resistance beyond resistance to damage you deal. If true, then Reduced target’s Resistances should work on it right?
ADCtH is reduced by life leech resistance. Reduced Target’s resistance does not reduce life leech resistance. As for why you are having difficulties, it is likely because monster OA was increased in 1.0.0.7.
Thanks for answer. Any idea on the explosive strike part?
Lifesteal applies to explosive strike’s damage. The AoE component has reduced effectiveness based on Explosive Strike’s weapon damage %
