How does Rime work?

[Deadis 0]

I'm trying to figure out how Rime works with other howling blast buffs, such as the Blast Radius trait and the legendary helmet.

What I am trying to understand is, does the bonus damage from the relic/helm apply to howling blast damage before the rime proc?

The reason i ask is because it makes a big difference in damage.

 

for example:

if HB does 1000 damage and then you add Rime+bonus 10% from trait = 3100 damage

if HB does 1000 damage and then you add bonus 10% from trait, followed by the rime proc bonus = 3300 damage

 

Also, what are your thoughts on Blast Radius as a relic for the Breath of Sindragosa build?

I think it's 40% x 300% so the helm buff is applied before the rimes increase. Hopefully that helps, as well as is correct.

I do believe this is accurate. Also Deadis per the guide already on Icy, Blast Radius is the second best trait to go after with artifact, the first being over powered (for more BOS juice)

*runic power is now BOS juice :) *
