Its a 5% nerf, but still a multiplier. So possibly stacking cold damage might better than stacking DOT Multi.

It could be a good change though as more multiplier might scale better

Indeed I didn't see that immediately. I guess they noticed it was strong vs bosses, but lacked in clear.

I'm a bit bummed too now :(

edit: wait! it changes from +20% to cdot to 15% more multi to cold dmg.

not bummed anymore!

PoB here I come ^^

Oh is it because *more*, meaning its additive?

Yea at first I didn't notice it had the more.

I did the math*:

old (+20% to cdot): + 7.84% dps
new (15% more dmg): +14.99% dps

cold so hot right now!

It's a huge buff actually. I just modified a Watcher's Eye in POB to have 15% more Cold Damage instead of +22% DOT Multi and it added 2.4million damage using the Increased aura affect jewels. HAHA Noice!!


EDIT: You can now choose between either Profane Bloom or Malediction. I think Malediction, Vile Bastion, Void beacon, Frigid Wake will be what I will choose to go with. While I love the explosions from Profane Bloom +1 to curses with 10% increased dmg is too good to pass up. I am also big fan of using a good Double Influenced crafted Rare Amulet and Vile Bastion instead of Chayula's for Stun immunity.

Alive! You are Alive!

Getting Sirus vibes here... Quick, vortex Shackcentral to the ground!

To finish on the Frigid wake change, the more cdot you have on tree and gear, the more this change is benefical. Let's say you have 0 cdot (not really possible, but bear with for the sake of this example) and only frigid wake,

old: 1*1.2 = 1.2
new: 1*1.15 = 1.15

Then you lose around 5% dps (1.15/1.2).

Pretty straight forward. Now let's say you have +120% total to cdot with Frigid Wake:

old: 1*2.2 = 2.2
new: 1*2.0*1.15 = 2.3.

A net gain of around 5%: (2.3/2.2).

At around 40% cdot, both version are equal. With the little node leading to Frigid wake you get 5% cdot, with Breath of Rime you get another 10%. It's pretty trivial to get the remaining 25%. weapons, cluster notables, gloves, jewels and amulets can all get cdot.
