CtC x on dying??

[Clervis]

I was just wondering. Say you die with two lightning facets with 100% Chance to cast level 47 Chain Lightning when you die.

Would it cast two separate Chain Lightnings?

Or would it cast a level 94 Chain Lightning?

Or would it just cast one level 47 Chain Lightning?


Also, if I use a Paladin with Conviction, do you think the aura would stay in long enough to help the Chain Lightning? or does it switch off right as I die?

You get a 200% chance to cast 1 level 47 lightning.

If facets only increased the chance of winning the lottery :azn:

those chars are fun to play :)
teleport -> let the monsters kill you -> see all on screen dying -> very funny in hell games ;)

with "good" gear it's about over 50.000 damage on every single monster :shocked: !

warning: DON'T TRY THIS IN HARDCORE :flip:

Okay jerks. Just answer the freaking question! :grin: j/k

So I guess 200% chance to cast is the same exact thing as 100% chance to cast.

[Lord Sznooze]

ok ;)
if you have two jewels with 100% cast lvl47 chain lightning on dying it will cast lvl47 chain lightning two times at the same time. if you have eight jewels with 100% cast lvl47 chain lightning on dying it will cast lvl47 chain lightning eight times at the same time.

EDIT: just take a look at that http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHxT2zXXm9I if you're interested in making CtC-build.

[spawndawn]

equip your merc with different die facets, then die together :)

[thegiantturtle]

So I guess 200% chance to cast is the same exact thing as 100% chance to cast.Yup. That's how percentages of chances work.

if you have two jewels with 100% cast lvl47 chain lightning on dying it will cast lvl47 chain lightning two times at the same time. if you have eight jewels with 100% cast lvl47 chain lightning on dying it will cast lvl47 chain lightning eight times at the same time.No. It will only cast once.

Sorry for OT but that Bombomancer vid was cool! All the CtC going off at once on death with Lower Resist...shame i play HC... :grin:

[Lord Sznooze]

No. It will only cast once.

are you sure ? another example: if you have 2 items socketed each with one +2 Mana after each kill ( think it's a TIR rune ) and you kill one monster you get 2 times +2 Mana after each kill. so if you have 2 items each socketed with lvl47 CL on dying it will cast 2 times the lvl47 CL. if it does not - it's not logical.
you are right if you put 2 jewels of the same effect in the same item ( 2 socket shield socketed with 2x lvl47 CL on dying jewel for example ). in this case it will only cast one time the lvl47 CL.

It doesn't matter where the items are socketed. If you have one item with two tir runes, you still get +4 mana. The issue is that with "+mana after each kill," the amount of mana is summed, but with "%chance to cast x," the %'s are summed.

Chances of equal events (like "% to case level 47 CL") are summed together over all gear, not treated like independent chances.

Think of Crushing blow. If you have 50% crushing blow on a weapon and 50% on your armor, you have 100% chance of crushing blow, not 25% chance of 2 crushing blows, 50% chance of 1 crushing blow, and 25% chance of no crushing blow.

@ Lord Sznooze: they have crushed my idea too, a while a go. Just load up on hitpower crafts and you will never get 2 nova's from one hit.
