Hey all,
Been tinkering with my dervish and I finally got to Gate of Torment...and got Sand Shards. AT first glance it looks awesome...but I was wondering:
The enchantment goes away after the 4-5 hits. This should trigger any AoB or Aura of Holy Might effects, but here's the question:
Lets say its a 4 hit Sand Shard. I hit three different things and then the last hit I use a pious assault. What happens?
Do I A) do the pious effect and inflict burning AND get the effect of the last Sand Shard or
do I more likely B) remove the shard without getting its last adjacent bonus?
I guess it boils down to WHEN the game checks to remove the enchantment.
If its B, then sand shards is less useful for teardown builds and it might just be better to use something else, since you'd effectively not be able to use a teardown skill for the 4 seconds or so when Shards was being used.
ANyone know the score on this one? *EDIT* It occurs to me you could just cover it with another enchantment and after tearing down, it will likely be gone on its own accord. Hmm
Here's Q #2
----------------
Grenth's Aura
Let's say its at 21 life steal. Does this affect only my weapon damage or Weapon+skill?
If its weapon only, then it effectively makes your lower damage scythe hits more effective (9-21 = 21). If its weapon + skill then not as cool, but still armor ignoring right?
