I really don't get it.

+1 corpse gives you 1 more fire ball, increasing from 3 to 4, giving you 33% dmg increase while the 40% dmg helmet gives 40% dmg increase. It seems like that to me.

I mean this cannot be true as +1 corpse is selling for a hundred times the price of dmg enchant.

My personal guess is this 40% increase is multiplicative to all the elemental dmg increase, crit increase etc so it works out to be much lower.

Will any experts please help to explain this?

never go full retard

increased dmg vs. more dmg.

First is multiplicative, second is adding

Unearth helm enchant

+5corpse level on a lvl20 gem = same corpse level as a lvl25 gem

https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Summon_Skeleton
lvl20 gem = lvl70 skellie = 1897 life
lvl25 gem = lvl80 skellie = 3058 life = 61.2%more life = 61.2%more damage on 1ste explosion of Volatile death


that's 30.666%more volatile damage, without consuming more corpses

VD deal a bit dmg(3% of max corpse life.its secondary) on ball creation.
main damage source is balls.wich is flat fire dmg on spell.
+5 unearth = crap
40 increased = bad
+1 ball = awesome




not fully correct .Unearth create Bone Archer corpse,not common skeleton minion corpse

but I say

lvl25bone archer corpse have 61%more life then bone archer corpse lvl20





535 to 802 volatile death lvl20 damage
(535+802)/2/3*100=2228


if bone archer corpse have only 2228life, the first explosion already outdamage the listen onscreen damage
