Dragon Tail dmg

What mods work with dragon tail?The fire dmg is added based on physical dmg, so does triggered CB or deadly strike contribute to that fire dmg.Also deadly strike is applyed before or after TS bonus?|||Deadly and Critical strike don't work with kicks. CB isn't really the same as normal physical damage, and it does not affect DTails fire damage.

The best thing you can do to increase DTails fire damage is lower the physical resistance of the monster (by decrep/amp and sanctuary). A Lawbringer PB makes a really good weapon for a TS/DTail build especially if you don't want to rely on Death Sentry.|||and be aware of the Double Damage Nerf in Hell.

some opponents have phys damage reduction, which nerfs the phys damage of the 'tail, then any fire res further reduces the damage of the 'tail.

and letting fly on a phys immune is a waste of time.|||Quote:

not necessarily, it will stun and knock them back, hopefully giving you the chance to run like hell!!!

Elemental damage from charms/gear will apply to dragon tail right?|||Yes, but aren't a reliable source of damage.|||If you hit a none PI close to a PI the PI will take damage from the AoE from Dtail,at least thats what Ive seen happen.|||Quote:

That should work. The fire damage from DTail is calculated based on the physical damage you do. So if you attack a non-PI, you'll do physical damage, and therefore, the AoE fire damage will apply. Do the same thing in reverse (ie, attack a PI), then NONE of the surrounding creatures will take the AoE damage. Again, not reliable - what if you happen upon a pack of PIs?|||DTailers often try to get amp or decrep because of that.|||To deal with Pis with a TS/DT, I was planning to have an elemental damage weapon on switch and also was going to max Venom .

I know Venom is not much damage, but you inflict it on each of the charge-up blows as well as the finishing DT, that is 4 strikes with venom + elemental damage from other equipment and charms. Is that a viable strategy?|||Venom isn't a reliable killer in PvM. Elemental damage would have to be high to kill quickly, and it isn't easy for kicks. PS as a side might work, but thins the skills.



Also, striking with venom resets the timer, not adds more damage.
