PoE Unholy Might Buff 3.24

  • The Unholy Might buff no longer grants 30% of Physical Damage as extra Chaos Damage. It instead now provides 100% of Physical Damage Converted to Chaos Damage, and 25% chance to Apply Wither on Hit.

Path of Exile 3.24: Unholy Might Gets a Chaotic Revamp

The Unholy Might buff in Path of Exile has undergone a significant transformation in version 3.24, fundamentally changing how it interacts with your physical damage. Here's a detailed breakdown of the changes and their potential impact:

Previously:

  • Unholy Might granted 30% of your physical damage as bonus Chaos Damage. This meant a portion of your physical damage was also dealt as chaos damage.

Changes in 3.24:

  • Full Conversion: Unholy Might now offers a complete conversion. 100% of your physical damage is converted to Chaos Damage. This means you will no longer deal any physical damage while Unholy Might is active.
  • Wither Application: An additional benefit has been added. You now have a 25% chance to apply the "Wither" debuff on enemies you hit with attacks. Wither reduces enemy maximum life and deals damage over time.

Impact on Players:

  • Chaos Damage Focus: Builds utilizing Unholy Might now need to prioritize scaling Chaos Damage over Physical Damage. This might require adjustments to your gear and passive skill tree allocations.
  • Damage Recalculation: The overall damage output might differ depending on your previous physical damage investment and how well you can scale Chaos Damage.
  • Potential Benefits: Full Chaos Damage conversion can be very powerful against enemies with high physical resistance. Additionally, the chance to apply Wither offers further damage potential and utility.

Considerations:

  • Build Evaluation: Assess your current build and determine how effectively you can transition to a Chaos Damage focus.
  • Gear Adjustments: Look for gear with increased Chaos Damage modifiers and potentially reconsider Uniques that benefit physical damage.
  • Passive Skill Tree: Path towards passive skills that enhance Chaos Damage over Physical Damage.

Overall:

The Unholy Might rework in Path of Exile 3.24 significantly alters how the buff functions. While it requires adjustments to your build and damage scaling, the full Chaos Damage conversion and chance to apply Wither can be very rewarding for characters prepared to embrace the chaos.
