Sgt. Terminus Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I searched and haven't seen this discussed before. Is there a reason Irradiated Ground doesn't take Brute ATOs? Or is it a bug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopeling Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 No idea, but it doesn't take Tanker ATOs either. The fact that it spawns a patch instead of being a damage aura per se might make it interact weirdly with self-buff procs. Or it might just be an oversight.

Frostweaver Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Yeah, it never has. Then again, with it's 5 second pulse, It's a friggin awesome proc mule. I cannot see why you wouldn't frankenslot the heck out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm confused, but why does that make it especially good for procs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostweaver Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) Technically you can put 6 procs in it, although +accuracy might make 5 plus incarnate better. I am not positive what the proc chance tables are and whether it is affected by the aura's recharge (4 seconds) or the aura's pulse timer, but in general, IG has a pretty decent proc chance per 5 second slice. I usually slot it for achilles heel proc, fury of the gladiator proc (I know they don't stack but they do both tend to affect almost everything) for -res, armageddon-damage+5 (I never use all 5 of a purple set, and usually ditch the damage in the set cause it goes way over ED...the rest of the set in mine is slotted into atom smasher) because it gives +66%, lady gray neg proc, shield breaker lethal proc, and obliteration smashing proc. Since swapping around sets to make it a proc monster, it has improved my idle farming by a good 20%. So I KNOW it has a real effect. I haven't noticed an increase on my active farming speed since I was slotted solely with fury -res proc and the shield breaker set, that may be because I am wired tightly for darned fine DPS and I am not really timing stuff right now. or maybe the procs fade into the background compared to 600% damage and standard attacks. But the -res procs sure as heck aren't drowned out. Edited September 12, 2019 by Frostweaver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
