Can someone explain volatility to me?

This should link to the section of the video discussing volatility.

Such poor documentation on this game that players have to rely on community for understanding the mechanics.

It bugs ne out why volatility timer is bound for every stack of volatility but minion revive timer gets reseted for every skele death 😩

or is the stack of orbs as a whole on a timer?

This one. You can build stacks pretty fast with Thunderstorm and shock conduction 2 but volatility has a cap on gaining stacks so you can't gain more than 10 a second.

I don't remember for sure but I believe the popped volatility (volatile power) doesn't get refreshed on gaining more stacks.

If you're playing chonk though you're better off going for into the breach plus lucid dreaming and speccing purple flames if you stack remnant pick up range you'll get a consistent 6+ purple flames which can be 80%+ gain as extra chaos damage.

lets say ypu gain 1 volatility the debuff after 8 sec or w/e it is it expires and it turns into 1% chaos dmg

if you gain more volatility the debuff it will reset the timer

if that volatility pops anf it gets turned into chaos dmg the buff it stacks with the previous volatility that popped but it has its own timer

but the buff timer in the game is tracked for the most recent one but the stacks have individual timers

i hope that makes sense
