Why the hell mine cannot trigger the tailwind?
I seriously don't understand this mechanism.
It gives us to use other skills to trigger tailwind, and it is totally waste of gem socket and efficiency of mapping. It never says "triggered by Critical strike attack except mine" or something then it should be triggered by any critical strikes. I was so excited to imagine using tailwind while using mine build, it totally broke my heart and time i spent for buying that boots.

The mod is:
"You have Tailwind if you have dealt a Critical Strike Recently"
It is not triggered by any critical strike, it is triggered by a critical strike that you dealt. Your mines aren't you.
It doesn't work for the same reason that you can do ele reflect, and that you can't leech.

The wiki suggests that having a unique item anywhere in your inventory is enough to have a relevant prophecy upgrade it to its Fated version.

So... if I have multiple copies of that unique item in my inventory at the time I complete the prophecy... do they all get upgraded? Or just the first one it finds?

Question about Winter Orb.

I see only one projectile from winter orb hitting a meta-boss even though I have GMP. While, if Winter Orb hits other non-meta bosses with GMP, I see all projectiles (5 projectiles) hit them.

1. I want to know if this is a bug

2. Is Winter orb designed to hit a monster only once with one projectile even you have GMP or LMP increasing number of projectiles? Then, why all projectiles from GMP support hit a boss like Phoenix?

3. Seems like everybody has different answers about multiple WO projectiles hitting one monster in Reddit. I would like you to clarify if increasing number of projectiles help kill a single boss, and if it's just random for multiple projectiles to hit a single monster (doesn't seem so tho) or how projectiles work. If this is not clarified, it's really hard to decide whether to use GMP instead of DPS booting support for meta-bosses this league. (I've tested many times with all the support gems to see the difference, but it's not so easy due to different mods of corpse parts.)

If I have a 100% chance to be crit and I have Garb of the Ephemeral... Would that mean I cannot be hit by nearby enemies? 100% chance to to take a crit from an enemy who can't crit?

I'm guessing it'd just be a normal hit on me if it isn't a critical strike on me though right? Just curious...

EDIT: Also if I use Mother's Embrace and Coruscating Elixer with Detonate Dead would they explode upon being summoned? Umbilicus Immortalis works kinda like that but it seems the minions use the flasks before they are summoned not when they are summoned. "When" implies they exist to use the flask effect - not existing with the flask... Is that intended?

Almost shure "Nearby Enemies cannot deal Critical Strikes" = 0% crit chance => normal damage. Otherwise it would be like The Brass Dome spelling "Take no Extra Damage from Critical Strikes" but without word "Extra".
Probably.
Usually it is about shortest spelling.
You can't say for sure until you test it.
POE has bad spelling sometimes.

Question about Winter Orb.

No one can really help you choosing between LMP and GMP. It mainly depends on boss's size.
As i know...
WO spelling says how does spell works. "Channel to conjure an orb above you, which pelts nearby enemies with projectiles that impact the ground and explode." Also spell has "AoE" tag.
It works the same as many other skills like Fireball, Kinetic Blast or even Ice Shot.
If skill is unleashing few projectiles at once, enemies can be hit only by 1 of those projectiles. But projectiles has second form after they hit enemy (or ground in case of WO / wall for KB) - AOE wich is kinda not a projectile alrdy. Single enemy can be hit by multiply AOEs. Sooo... WO can hit single enemies more then once per shot but AOE of projectiles is super small + WO has a scatter that you can do nothing about => no way to say how much AOEs will hit the boss.
Take area affect nodes if you can (the size of the explosion will still be very small). Try different gems.
That's all i can say.

i am playing a VD CoC build and sometimes i feel my dps starts dropping against bosses when i spawn alot of volatiles. so i made the assumption that maybe when i spawn new volatiles when i already hit the maximum limit allowed, then older ones just get completely deleted and do not explode.

this is just based off of a feeling and might be completely wrong but thats why i'd like to know what happens with old volatiles when you try to spawn new volatiles above the limit of 60 allowed?

Hi,
Can someone exmplain me what am I suppose to do now and how to trigger conquerors?
Here's a screenshot:


Tirn's End:
- white, yellow and red maps - nothing happens

Glenn...:
- same as Tirn

Proxima
- same as Tirn

Valdo
- same as Tirn

I want to add that problems with conquerors started after killing Sirus. Before conquerors were triggering like a charm. Now I have trihher Hezmin once in Proxima, but I think it was more like a random then a prepared mechanism.
So, in which region I should do maps right now?

Please, help, this is annoying.

Spiritual Aid and Decree of Reflection interaction.

The second part is just if this increase or more will impact my damage since I have Spiritual Aid allocated.

when a skill says x% increased damage, that's the dmg of that skill only
so no

Decree of reflection doesnt say simply "% increased damage" on either of the wordings i was able to find, so your answer isnt valid.

POE Affix lists the reflection enchant as:

"

Minions deal #% more Damage

Normal: 100 (Word)
Cruel: 200 (Edict)
Merciless: 300 (Decree)
Map: 400 (Commandment)

The wiki lists enchant as:

"

Creates a clone of you that attacks with your weapon.
Base duration is 5 seconds
Minions deal 120% increased Damage
150% increased Minion Maximum Life
Trigger this Spell when you're Hit
Minions deal 400% of Damage

So while the wiki makes the most sense, and the line of "minions deal 400% of damage" that makes sense as something that would impact this ability only. But if thats the case, why is there a line that says "minions deal 120% increased damage"? that makes no sense to be on two seperate lines if one isnt global
