I got question about "Wave of Conviction" and "Steelskin" mechanic. I don't understand if i cast 1 skill another will automaticly cast also or not?

Both gems are linked to arcane surge, which will autocast if your "Wave of Conviction" and "Steelskin" have a higher mana cost (dont look at the mana cost of the gem itself, you need to hover over at the skill bar to get the real mana cost cause of the links its becomes higher)

ie my "Arcae Surge" has lvl 6 and got triggered at 26+ mana cost. "Steelskin" costs are 29 mana at lvl 20 and "Wave of Conviction" needs to be lvl 6+ for me.

I cant speak for peter265 or blazegen but I *think* they wondered if they need 2 separate buttons for steelskin and wave of conviction, the answer is yes unless you use cast when damage taken to trigger both at same time when taking damage, maybe im wrong and they were asking about arcane surge :P


cast when damage taken+wave of conviction+steelskin+increased duration is one way to go if wanting to press less buttons/have more automation, but this way you lose arcane surge and lose having "total control" of your buffs too.. still not bad alternative imo :p

You where write, i was aking if i cast "Wave of Conviction" the "Stellskin" will cast automaticly or not, seems i'll do it throw CWDT, another question, if i link all 4 gems CWDT-Wave-Stellskin-Duratiion, the CWDT will automaticly cast Wave after getting hit? Or only casts Stellskin.

CWDT will automatically cast everything linked to it when taking X amount of damage as long as it is supported or "compatible" with CWDT, (spells and curses work for example but attack/melee skills do not work with it, can check in the wiki link below for more exact info)


X amount of damage taken needed to activate CWDT = low at low level CWDT, high at high level CWDT, etc etc,


also, if using high level WoC/Steelskin, CWDT must be higher level too, it is a bit hard for me to say exact what levels are best without looking at gem info and poe wiki for example etc, but I would probably recommend high/max level CWDT and steelskin so you get the most effect from steelskin, but this also mean that you will need to take a lot of damage for CWDT to activate, etc,


a lot of good info on mechanics and also exact specific data on this things can always be found on PoE wiki:

https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Cast_when_Damage_Taken_Support

https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Steelskin


for example, steelskin level 20 gem for max damage protection requires character level 70, so for CWDT to activate this automatically, CWDT must be also level 20, and this means you must take 3272 damage before it activates, etc etc, can see specifics in the table in the wiki (has exact info on every gem in the game)



low level CWDT need less damage taken to activate linked gems, but linked gems can not be high level in this case, and so on, if you look at the wiki it will be easier to understand after some time I think :)


Wave of conviction probably best to keep at level 10 like enki recommend in his guide because higher level WoC = more physical damage and this can be bad in physical reflect maps, can damage yourself with it etc :D only good thing from high level WoC is longer effect duration, but the -25% resist effect from WoC on monster is same on level 1 and on level 20 WoC.


so after looking at this numbers, I would probably recommend CWDT level 20+ Steelskin level 20+Inc.duration level 20+Wave of Conviction level 10



not sure but think this is best way if you want to use automatic steelskin/WoC :p just remember it will only activate when taking big damage (3272 damage on CWDT level 20) but I guess in one way is good because it is when you really need it :D



also, maybe can be more optimized, like maybe not max level cwdt/steelskin but perhaps level 16-18 or something, so it activate after ~2000 damage taken instead of ~3200 damage taken, etc, hard to say but is my thoughts anyway..


PS it might be worth looking in to using molten shell instead of steelskin in combination with a granite flask, maybe maybe not x) just some ideas..


hope this helps anyway and good luck!

Ok, thx for explanation, to only cast stellskin skill beter to link only CWDT-Steelskin-Duration for not get self killed by WoC. I'll try.
