If I have an aura buffing my attack damage, will buffed that damage (and type, being chaos) be applied to the AOE explosion? More speficaly, could I use Solael’s Witchfire with Explosive Strike and proper gear to get aoe chaos and vitality explosions?
Sorry for the stupid title, smh :rolleyes:
Explosive strike uses fire and physical damage as well as a percent of weapon damage, taking advantage of the Witchfire transuter would convert some of the physical damage to chaos but as far as I know the explosion will still be fire and physical focused.
The game says “main hand damage” now so I think that answers my question. Grimcalc said weapon damage.
The short answer is yes but at the % of weapon damage of the skill.
Assume your Explosive strike is at 25% Weapon damage: the AoE will then deal 25% of all your + Chaos/Vitality damage and whatever you converted from physical. It will also deal the converted physical damage on the skill itself, at the appropriate % of the time. If you consider Fire Strike’s main skill has a larger than 100% Weapon damage, the added AoE of Explosive Shot and Brimstone having inherent Chaos damage then yes. You can make a strong vitality/chaos Firestrike Pyromancer using Soleal’s.
Yup. I will just have to farm for the optimal gear.
