Im doing gems only build, meaning only common items with gems. On every peace of gear I have Enchantment Power increased by x% at Low Health, plus focus increase gems(gain, cost reduce, focus increased); no other enchantment power gems and my Damage is same even if I have 100%, 50& or 10% HP. No HP regen or Lifesteal. It won’t register my HP is below certain threshold, I’ve tested also reduced HP from negative effects - same story.
Actually any Enchament Power gem I put on, for example power incerased on Full HP or Focus wont increase my Damage no matter what I do. Re-equiping gear, gems nothing works.
It should act if you are under 50% HP your overall dmg should be boosted…yet, I encouter a this strange bug, instead of boosting dmg, my focus regenaration, focus cost reduced get boosted instead dmg which doesn’t make any sense, doesn’t matter what position I place its all same.
only common items with gems: gems don’t generally boost your damage, except for the 5 elemental mottled gems, where they boost damage of a certain elemental by 10%
if you don’t have these gems on, low life bonus doesn’t have any >damage< to boost.
if you have gems that:
- boost focus regen
- reduce focus cost
- modify another thing that isn’t damage
the black pearl will increase those when your hp is < 50%
but if you don’t have actual damage gems then you shouldn’t expect the black pearl to boost anything once you’re low hp
“increases enchantment power” mean that it only increases the power of gems/enchantments that are on your gear. not “overall power”. maybe that’s where the confusion comes from ?
Thanks for reply I get what you saying, but it should still work.
However I’ve just tested what you written and add damage gem into a gear, but black pearl still won’t increase dmg, or register it.
I just tested it hoping this will be it, but my dmg with full HP vs <50% HP is same not changing at all, if crits or not same numbers. I did also swap for another corrupted wand where are stats that should be increased, but same story.
It’s not clear what in your build would increase damage. Increasing focus gain doesn’t affect damage for instance, just how much focus you gain. What gem are you using that you expect to increase damage?
For example, you could put Mottled Sapphire in your weapon. This would increase ice damage by 10%. If you added a Mottled Pearl and were at low health, it would increase ice damage by 20% because the pearl is empowering the sapphire. Of course, if your weapon does not do ice damage or the rune you are testing is not ice, you will see no difference.
the back pearl (or any other modifier gem) will only increase the power of stats of the item that the gem is on, no other items.
sorry if that was obvious, but i thought it’s worth a mention
if you want, post SS of your gear here and we will check what should be affected by gem modifiers and what shouldn’t
