Volatility
Tooltip
Volatility explodes after 4 seconds, dealing 100 PhysicalPhysical damage is one of the five Damage Types. It is the most common and the only one reduced by Armour, rather than by a Resistance.

Most physical damage comes from Weapon Attacks, but some Spells and other skills deal physical damage as well. Physical damage over time can be inflicted with Bleeding.
Damage to you per Volatility. For 10 seconds after explosion, you will gain Volatile Power, GainingDamage gained as a specific damage type only scales with modifiers to the new type, not with modifiers to the source damage's type (unless they're the same type).

For example, Lightning damage gained from Physical damage scales with Lightning damage modifiers, but not Physical damage modifiers.

Damage Gain occurs in the same two step process as Damage Conversion. Damage over time cannot benefit from damage Gain.
1% of Damage as ChaosChaos damage is one of the five Damage Types. It is reduced by Chaos Resistance.
Chaos damage is the least common damage type, and removes twice as much Energy Shield as the damage value when taken.
for each Volatility which exploded. The explosion timer will reset on gaining another stack of Volatility.

Volatility can be gained once every 0.1 seconds, and the default maximum for Volatility stacks on you at once is 200.

Volatility is a status effect. When Volatility expires, the affected target take 100 physical damage per stack of Volatility you had on you and gain 1% of damage as extra chaos damage per stack for 10 seconds.

Mechanics

Volatility by itself has no inherent effects. Volatility lasts 4 seconds and gaining stacks of Volatility will refresh the duration. There is a cooldown of 0.1 seconds between gaining stacks of Volatility.

Volatility is capped at 200 stacks by default. Controlled Chaos will change the limit to 30, overriding other modifiers to this maximum.

If the player character dies through taking damage from Volatility, the following text will be output to the chat as a death message: <Player> has detonated.
