  1. ~~Hi, I'm chaos player of ghost land~~
  2. Hi, I'm a chaos build player from Taiwan.
  3.  
  4. After the appearance of cluster jewels, chaos DoT builds have been pushed to new heights, but the mobs would occasionally just stop taking damage and my mapping process keeps getting oddly paused. After investigating, I found that the most likely cause is because when chaos DoT damage exceeds over somewhere around 20 million, the damage no longer applies at all.

  9. Since I'm normally a hardcore player, this character is made up of the most basic gear with the exception of a +3 bow. I cap my resists by playing with an aurabot and a lot of my damage is in cluster jewels.

  12. Here's are my tests using Minotaur:
  13.  
  14. Non-buffed, dps < 20m:

  16. 32m (Minotaur basic life) x 4 (players) x 1.31 (map mod) = 170m life (?)
  17. 10 second kill
  18. total dps = 170m / 10 = 17m
  19.  
  20. Buffed, dps > 20m:

  22. With the addition of Righteous Fire, Vaal RF and Vaal Blight, the kill should theoretically be faster, but instead the damage completely stops being dealt on several occasions and only restarts after the buffs are over.
  23.  
  24. The conclusion is that DoT is bugged when going over around 20m. I predict the exact number to be "21,474,836.47", since we know that to be the overflow limit for the tooltip.
  25.  
  26.  
  27. In order to come to this result, we did around 40 Minotaurs and eliminated several other options, including:
  28.  
  29. 1. Is this a Vaal Blight bug?
  30. No, I tested it with other chaos DoT skills such as Essence Drain too.
  31.  
  32. 2. Is this a RF bug?
  33. No, I tested it without RF and without Vaal RF too.
  34.  
  35. 3. Is this a bug from combining different skills?
  36. I don't think so. I've played chaos DoT builds for over 10 leagues and this has never happened before with these skills and their combinations.
  37.  
  38. 4. Is this a bug from playing with an aurabot?
  39. No, this happens when I solo as well.
  40.  
  41. 5. Is this a bug from skill gems or gear?
  42. No, I've pulled different gems and gear to test and as long as the damage still reached 20m, the bug still persists.
