Gluttony of Elements

For the non-Vaal counterpart, see Purity of Elements.

Gluttony of Elements is a temporary aura that causes taking elemental damage to instead heal the caster and nearby allies. It can be obtained by equipping , which grants the level 10 version of this skill. It is currently unknown what effect the level of the skill has on its effect and why the amulet doesn't grant a level 1 skill.

The skill functions identical to a Vaal skill and is affected by passive skills and items that specifically affect Vaal skills.

Mechanics

Like other Vaal auras, Gluttony of Elements is affected by duration modifiers such as #% increased Skill Effect Duration.

Gluttony of Elements prevents all players affected by the aura from gaining Vaal souls.

Interactions

• If Gluttony of Elements is used with the damage over time will heal instead.
• multiplies the heal by 4, granted that the elemental resistances ordinarily is 75%.
• Items that shift physical damage taken as elemental damage, such as , , , synergize well with Gluttony of Elements.
• Gluttony of Elements' healing effect normally applies to life but can be redirected to energy shield by taking the Zealot's Oath keystone, equipping , or using .
• If used with 30% Physical to Elemental damage taken as found on (or other items such as rare body armor with influence mod) and -200% lighting resistance with a (50% increased Elemental damage taken) as well as Chaos immunity (from CI) you can become "immune" to anything but dot damage for a 5 second duration, due to the combo outheal the damage received.
  • This means that 30% of physical damage taken would be taken as lighting damage , then with the scaling by -200% lightning resistance and a Replica Abyssus, it would make 135%^{[citation needed]} of the originally physical damage taken recovered instead of delt to you.

Trivia

Lead developer Chris Wilson has stated that the original name for the skill was Vaal Purity of Elements, but that it was changed to avoid suggesting that it could be obtained by corrupting the skill gem itself.
