What are the Oias breakpoints for druid in humanform? I'm looking at Lacerator and gimershred, but It'd be nice to know exactly


What determines what will knockback on Molten boulder? Boulder level, monster level, monster type, etc. ?


note: I did some testing on firestorm's duration, someone mentioned it only lasts 0.75 seconds or that it's bugged when it obviously lasted at least 2 seconds each spread I timed and continued to damage monsters behind till the very end. Someone clarify?

i think boulders knockback is determined by monster size (not sure)

[Jary]

yea, mass does seem like a good observation. However, it almost seems chance-based, 'cause I've actually seen monsters that don't appear to knockback suddenly falter backward a good 1/5 times, the other times just shatters.

The reason I brought it up is, does that mean that... lets say your lvl 12 Molten Boulder is unable to knockback a corpulent in Act4, it breaks 90% of the time lets say.
However, lets say you're lvl 60 now, you have a lvl 38 Molten Boulder from +skills and fully synergized boulder. In nightmare, that same Act4 corpulent might still break.... BUT, if you go back to normal now that your Boulders much more powerful, will it still break against the ~lvl15 Act4 Corpulent monster in normal difficulty, or will your boulder gain more momentum and strength over time? :scratchchin:

That's the real question. Something tells me this is one I might have to test on my own, I don't think anyone knows. The Oias bp's would be nice though if anyone still knows.. :thumbup:

Boulder Is a blockable attack so KB is based on Blocking and size. Monsters too big make the Boulder burst instead of roll.

An example of this is Maggot Lair. Boulder will rip through the beetles , gnats, and maggot young. However, they burst on contact with adult maggots. As for the KB, I notice that it KBs almost every time unless I see some sort of blocking animation from the monster. This is unlike weapon KB which has a chance to KB.
