Item Rarity support gem

One thing to understand about IIR and IIQ is that they scale with each other - you really need IIQ to make IIR useful (Unlike IIR, IIQ is useful by itself, but it's also a lot harder to get lots of)



If it's true that Item Rarity does not affect the explosion from Infernal Blow, then that leaves me to wonder: Why the fuck not GGG?

Probably for the same reason it doesn't effect DoTs either -- because they're probably an independent effect flagged on the monster, not tied to the original caster. This is pretty common in MMOs. If you know anything about programming, this might look familiar:

Monster:Explode();

versus

Player:CauseExplosion(Monster);

Just a guess.

correct me if i'm wrong but if RNG ( -->random<-- number generator) can be affected by IIR and IIQ then its not really random is it? derp

You're wrong, it is still random, but with a modified generation algorithm.

Thanks <3

looking at your pseudo-code, I think GGG went for the second option, as would 90% of programmers.

Player.causeExplosion(Monster) is so much better even on first sight.

giving a function an object to "play with" AND linking it to the caller (Player) opens a world of possibilities. one of which can be Monster.explode() done somewhere inside the code, among many, many other things.

there are serious synchronization issues to be considered though. namely who "player" is (when several players attack the same monster), and in what order the functions are invoked and access shared resources in cooperative play.

not as easy, is it?
that's just one of the reasons why I already admire GGG's work with this game, even in this early Beta stage.
