Conflux - Path of Exile

1. Conflux Guides

Conflux is a type of buff. It causes hits from all combined damage types to apply ignite, chill, and/or shock, overriding the usual rule that only fire damage can ignite, cold damage can chill, and lightning damage can shock.

For example, when the player with Chilling Conflux deals a hit with the following damage types:

  • 100 Fire
  • 100 Cold
  • 150 Physical
  • 50 Chaos

that hit will apply Chilling  with damage based on a 400 damage initial hit.

3.1 Passive Skill: Shaper of Desolation

Shaper of Desolation is a notable Ascendancy passive skill for the Elementalist that grants a Conflux effect that cycles over a 14 second period, which causes all combined damage types to apply Ignite, Chill, and/or Shock on hit.

Shaper of Desolation first grants Chilling Conflux for 4 seconds, then Shocking Conflux for 4 seconds, then Igniting Conflux for 4 seconds, then all thee Confluxes for 2 seconds. Since the total duration of all these buffs is 14 seconds, it effectively has a 100% uptime.
