Skeletons can be optionally dropped for Volatile Zombies with the retch setup
Could even automate them lol, but you lose a shitload of mana and regen sadge
Make one if you’ve used others you don’t like.
retch?
hmm
Currently testing zombies
they are cool in terms of damage and "target sustain"
But god, they tank my mana
Tbf - roll on cruelty is insanely bad
I`m forced to use it, otherwise they explode not through sacrifice.
Have 2 of them
Allocated this node and still don't have +2 for this skill
There's no way to give skeletons the DOT tag, so they can't get +levels from that ring
Thanks
Btw, look at them
Just chilling beside me, considering I have Cruelty equipped.
No idea how exactly that happened
Nope, those are warriors
Tf
@obtuse quest started tinkering with a bossing setup for Witchfire. Dropping mace and righteous for Spreading Flames and HS plus Soulfire goes crazy
It sucks that HS needs points but technically swapping transplant and HS isn’t awful. Especially if its only for attempting ubby or something
In veil the DoT ticks double
yoo i jus 1 hit the havoc from health to drain life
could i have help?
With?
Yeah the HS spreading flames setup gives you a lot more bossing potential, but idk if it's enough for uber
With what?
Not really? A Lich build can be good as long as it runs Reaper Form OR Death Seal, but both is always better.
I'm saying that because that build looks like it'll die in 30 seconds in base empowered.
i was wanting to try the wraithlord buil buthave no idea how to start or where to get the helmet
It's a random drop. Good luck. Farm rune of ascendancies or farm the unique helm node in monoliths.
oh
Yeah I highly doubt itll do Uber in his current state
Uber's HP count is close to Abomination Boss' 23k c hp count-
wait thats giga good to know
oh wait
did you just say
23k corruption
dear god
https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/QJV3vrqQ any suggestions for upgrade?

Pale Ox might be something to look into. I don’t think you are taking full advantage of the Null Portent DR and Pale Ox can be reasonably farmed for 2 LP. With automated zombies you should have nearly 100% uptime on a minion
Pale ox + minion traversal exp affix on boots, it's a night and day difference while mapping.
I tried slamm pale ox into t6 health and t7 bonus crit damage reduction , got waisted as always 🤣
So pale ox must have? @wise leaf
I have planner to follow, but im not sure
i play wraithlord style, so what affix insert to my LP helm?? vitality and intel??
what affix that synergize with necro build wraithlord
For wraithlord better add like minion damage
cannot attach minion damage shard in helmet
ty
Basically you need make immortal wraithlord for hp and decent dps ,so he will destroy everything
The minion exp affix is a must have imo, you can also get the champion affix on a ring and replace flames of midnight with it. But i would just prioritise it on your boots and try to get movement speed on a 2lp.
You can also get immolator belt for more damage
No it's not that important, it gives you a lot of armor and a bit of dmg, so it's definitely good, but i wouldn't stack it specifically.
Hello zveryone, i m currently playin stygian beam lich and i wanted to know if my stats are correct dmg considering the stygian coil provide more proc on stygian beam per 1 int and more dmg on stygian beam per 10 mana (for now i'm only 180-200 corruption and one shot everythin in a seconds. Should i stack more mana or int ? Or its okay and should try to work on my few slot for resistances
(Sorry for the bad quality)
Is my mana, int and cast speed-spell crit are fine to push to 500-600 corruption comfortably
?
Stats are 173 int, mana 861, cast speed can reach 200% with reaper form and 74% chance crit spell
U can link your character via last epoch tools
Oh i didnt knew
Sorry gotta check it its like an armory website with your characters ?
Gotta create an account i ll sent you once its done
You have morr than enough damage to push 1k corruption but your defenses are awful
@deft otter
Can help more once u send ur planner
Resistance sucks man
Ty for the tips kind if you💪🏼🙏🏻
I know even though for now i didnt died even once i think with 600-700 corruption i may encounter a way more sinister fate😅
I m tryin to reach 250 little by little
On all monolith
Timelines
Y need up 1 monolith into high corruption
Only 1?
And rest easy up by 1 orobyss kill
Holy shit sorry i m kinda newbie but i lll take in consideration all of your words🙏🏻
I will push reign of dragons so
Just check YouTube
Some video explaining here
How to push corruption
And so on
I just start character in Friday ,rn lvl 96 and 650c farming
What build you do?
Stygian beam lich
And other character are earthquake beastmaster and jugement paladin
For now atleast
😐
😅🤣🤣🤣
I was planning to do a chtonic fissure from start on acolyte a week ago
Then
If seen stygian beam and so i move on 😅
I've
Sorry for my bad english
You follow any guide or planner?
Yes i've got by luck all item 1lp with while i was farming with chtonic fissure on friday evening it took me 3hours to get all the unique and i wasnt finding any use to them. Then by pure coincidence i found a video from this one
Moxsy is his name on youtube
The différence from him and me is a the resistances
Though i've just thinkin that i have multiple like fire lightning and void res that i can cap to 75% with blessing
So even though all my res wont be capped i should be able to have 4 more res capped
With blessong
I leveled a flame whip warlock, but struggling at uber. With stygian coal lich will be easier?
No
For Uber need each gear 3lp , some acceptable at 2lp
Same as 90% of people in game
I kill regular Aberroth in 80 seconds
But uber undoable
@willow verge https://youtu.be/aveMEJwtrX4?si=icXoia7j3XqjvPHM
Check video and gear
Maybe will be more clear

That's his planner @willow verge
Its all about the gear and playstyle, not about character class or mastery
Maybe you miss important thing on gear , so you can't do
The easy question is "Are you stunning everything?". If not, you're not strong enough.
Bossing is a piece of cake though.
That's the core strength of the build. If it's not, then you failed.
It's supposed to be able to stun uberroth himself at full power.
Thats a tough chore
Mana guide T posing runemaster is another level of unique gameplay
I run Warlock with flamewhip and got to 700 corruption. I'm still doing fine, however it feels like Infernal shade which I use to help clear speed doesn't do much anymore. What other skill can I replace it with to help Chtonic fissure monolith clear? I now use fissure, bone curse, profane veil, transplant, infernal shade
Uber aberoth kill @zinc jay @willow verge with Stygian Coal and not min maxxed gear https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGserKV7czU
But its 3 minute kill ,for my video showcase he kill for 80 seconds
So twice faster
Yes ofc, the point is to prove its possible with lesser gear
don't need 3lp minmax
these r so rare what corruption do people usually get them at? or is it jus entirely random
just spam prophecies, I think its roughly 750k prophecy resource per ring, I can get one ring a day
I might be making leveling way harder than it should be by leveling as bleed warlock
ye i did minion but the walkspeed was super slow
and minion ai was idk
nice
Should be fine, I do it all the time
Lol you was right ,immolators oblation are game changer @wise leaf
Your best bet at that corruption level is to just do something that buffs flame whip more. Rip Blood for flat spell dmg, Spirit Plague for extra curse and “more” dmg per hit. Those are the only ones I can think of atm
Ye it's a lot of damage, especially for bossing
can some kind soul look at my lich and help me figure out what am i missing for uber

yy nothing i guess xd
well then I am severely hands diffed
And how much more damage immolation oblation is compared to chains of uleros for flame whip? it's sacrificing defense for offense I guess
does lich get more damange beyond 33% hp that death seal puts u on? Meaning ur dmg would be even higher if u were at 20% or lets say 5% hp?
Yes.
Counts up to 1% hp left I think
I don't know what build to play for my warlock , I am doubting between witchfire or flamewhip or just going for a torment one, I want something that is strong but also that is fun to play like interactive, I was just playing a build with wandering spirits, spirit plague and chthonic fissure but now that I am level 50 I want to change a bit
Can vouch for flame whip with infernal shades, reached 1000 corruption with it pretty easily (though on 1000 I sometimes die)
And pretty active, fissure, shade, curse, teleport
Costantly running and pressing buttons
Ah yes, and bosses are stunlocked (most), also pretty nice
mind sharing your planner
Time rot's spread on death is so much better than any of the Acolyte prolif tech afaict.
hopefully the acolyte rework will come with some sweet sweet proliferating ailment stuff
Spirit Plague also spreads on death tbf, it just does... okay damage
it suffers greatly for being its own thing that doesn't stack or get applied by other skills so you're really limited on what multipliers you can bring to bear on it
Yeah that's why it's just.. okay at best
mayb the acolyte rework could make it like some combination of gathering storm and time rot where it's an ailment applied as usual but it has its own sub-skill/tree it benefits from even when triggered/applied elsewhere
that seems to be a good formula for making something strong in this game, getting to apply a couple of skill trees and lots of gear to it from different angles
Anyone knows how Mantle of Flames on Chthonic Fissure affects Flame Whips if you have Spine of Malatros? Does it time x4 the ailment chance for flame whip hits if you max it out?
Ignite chance per second doesn't affect hits, so it does nothing for whips
It depends on how often you are casting and also how much LP your chains currently is honestly. But the biggest issue is potions being useless and actually bad for your ward gen on low life
I would say expect like 10-20 average added flat dmg on whip though
wait does the kill threshold on brittle bones from bone curse affect you with bone curse aura? like enemies can execute you at low life
Yes
Everything affects you as if you're an enemy.
(kill threshold doesn't work if the target has ward)
oh ok. ward stopping that definitely helps. I thought they would just instantly kill with one hit if you are low life
You also can't proc kill thresholds while a boss has ward, so it's equality-
how can i boost the dps? he can take hits but does very little damage. takes a long time to kill anything. https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/Qe0kOnMA

You need a lot more int and a lot more mana.
Like, 150+ int and 400+ mana.
how would you recommend i get that? dont have empowered. just normal monos
Get the ability to do empowered if you can.
Otherwise, exalteds, and legendaries.
Like, your body armour is kinda ass
agreed. been trying to get armor to drop with level or int but none yet. been speeding empowered on my main, and same. can other class armor drop or only on that class do they drop?
Other class items are reduced drop rates I believe
Like VK has reduced acolyte drop and vice versa
They can, but low.
Weighted to 80% of the class being played and 20% of other classes.
ah
Your best bet might be a common unique as a patchfix
anything i can do to boost damage with what i presently have be it skills or passive?
what are some uniques to see if i have?
Nothing really gives you int on a unique chest, but like Titan Heart / Woven Flesh / Pale Ox can be used for more hp. I think Urzils gives Attunement which is max mana lmao.
But you are only 75 so just going tthrough normal monos and leveling is massive
I know lich has a load of int on the tree
Somebody can help kill uber ?
Might be better served asking in the general community chat. Acolyte’s have very low uber kills total
Yeah we only got like Flame Whip or Stygian Coal lich stuff
So 2 builds lol
Not terrible though
I stopped attempting to push and got distracted with builds so it’s too late for me
Oh yeah Abom snapshotting
LOL
3 builds

At least better than 2
Well i think mostly other classes have as well not more than 3 builds who can kill uber
Abom can do it without snapshotting afaik
it's just, you're already jumping through hoops to summon the thing, why not snapshot
@lost gale what gear need to do abomination?
idk, never played it, but I've heard it can be done without snapshotting
Why is wraithlord sooooo strong and easy?
I'm looking at other classes to play and start fresh but nothing is as easy to play and so braindead lol
is it stronger than stygian coal lich?
Probably not but I hate playing melee and I want minions that kill everything while I don't press any buttons
ah stygian is chill u just pop buffs and then spam rip blood and drain life
Yeah but I wanted to play a whole other class
Or maybe another mastery is enough too 🤔
has anyone killed uber with stygian lich without shattered worlds relic?
The requirements are brutal, including 2 red rings
Is this build good even without the ultra rare items?
Yeah
U only need Stygian coal at first
How high corruption can I run with just this?
Hm I don't know, going from "summon wraithlord and then do absolutely nothing and watch enemies die" to this might be too much lol
Wasnt there an Acolyte build that uses fire and necrotic?
is there a minion dodge cap and if so what is it?
basicly trying to figure out if 1200 dodge on bone golem is worth it at all or not
It's likely 85% and scales like it does for yourself.
Damn alright ty
depends on the rolls, if u get a lot of negatives and plus 1 ofc not worth, but the item can be worth very much to use even at +1 with other good rolls. Like more armor and hp ms mana with some res? thats insane regardless of skills. Idk if u have some super important skill needing +2 but yeah
Just makes drain life good even though I already got it lvl 26
DoT acolyte has several variants and is good. Spirit Plague itself doesn’t scale so great its not really a main dmg dealer
no shot
is there a way to see my max skeletons on minion character sheet?
i'm trying to get 4 golems out but it's capping at 3
No, gotta pen and paper it
I forgot I am not forced to do campaign as my 2nd character lol
I got all my passive and idol slots now just running monos
scuffed gear and resists but I'm blasting
the popcorn skeles setup is actually pretty fun
I wish the skele resurrection stuff was quicker than 3s so I could stop to cast less when clearing (mayb use the shield set affix too!) and there's some buff management with the chaos bolts side of things but mana stacking & seed & good ward generation makes it feel pretty robust as acolytes go
I'm back to the game after a while and noticed set affix crafting. The first thing that came to mind is isadora damned warlock build
Anybody tried?
The only thing that comes close is witchfire, which isadora's bonus damned chance doesn't count for it.
Cruelty and stuff?
nah mana stacking profane oblation with chaos bolts to double dip on %more and flat from mana to skele mages
I tried sacrifice via volatile zombies, not in the well optimised theory craft way but just in the what gear is in my stash way and it was very tedious, underwhelming and absurdly mana intensive.
Skele mages just do it for free
Same here with the sac lol
I don't have a seed worth using yet but I'm going to be using seed as a pretty nice defensive item given that I'm stacking all that mana but not really spending it and skeleton refund is providing pretty decent regen
I’d like seed to be another alternative for Acolyte we have so many builds that barely use mana or gain it back quickly
Its just hard to justify over barbute a lot of times
I might continue leveling my Lich character next month. Does flat spell curse damage on a helmet significantly improve the damage of Lich's Stygian Coal? I feel like this build is quite hard to scale damage for
The skeletons being sacked is actually a half decent ward engine. Without all the warlocky benefits of stacking necrotic Res I don't fancy barbute here
Not really? Your main damage isn't a curse.
Fair point. I genuinely take anything else when possible lol
I too have found myself looking at every imaginable helmet and returning to the barbute
Besides intelligence, what else will increase its damage? I already have a very high crit chance
Mana, spell damage, necrotic damage.
Which node makes mana increase damage?
I haven't played the build myself but AIUI the goal should be 100% crit chance, as much crit multi & int as you can fit in, some cast speed (for rip blood) and then mana
apparently spam casting life drain increases the ROF of the beams enough that it does more DPS overall than keeping your mana high
Does that mean if you cast again while the life drain duration is still active, it will fire two beams simultaneously?
each active drain life has its own set of beams. I saw this short clip where someone demonstrated the number of ailment stacks they were applying on a dummy with and without spamming drain life and the difference was quite notable even if it didn't look look like two was twice as many beams as one
but it also seemed to me that the play loop was a bit more natural because you spam life drain and you mana drops then you spam rip blood to bring it back up and then you cast life drain and so on
Like Paladin Judgement? 🤣
yeah I guess
builder/spender isn't something I care for too much in ARPGs but at least for the coal lich the spender is dealing sustained damage while you're building and it isn't some big one-shot crit thing you have to make sure not to waste or you do zDPS
For a lich wand, which imprint is priority, crit strike multiplier or spell crit strike chance?
I think you'd have to math that out for your particular gear setup, whether critting harder or more often is more dps. Thankfully you should only need to worry about your crit stats in isolation rather than all your offensive stats
looks to me like the chance is more important, it's a much bigger share of the total % increased crit chance than the multi is of the total crit multi and that'll probably be true for you too
Crit multi is already at 347% and spell crit chance is only 20%. Seems like critting more often should help with the slowdown in killing as I increase corruption. At least more than increasing the multi % higher.
No
doesn't really seem possible to cap crit without it
you only get 9% base crit with the gloves so the T7 increased on wand is going to be maybe ~25% crit chance overall
Sorry missed your message. Here it is: https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/Ergox/character/ErgoxW
at 1000 corruption clear speed, damage, bossing are all good. Survivability is ok, sometimes I die if not careful (though some stuff hits for 23000 overkill damage, so I guess everyone dies to this)
the gear is also not that great, can get more ward / health
is the hollow lich tech worth using if you're not taking melee leech on gloves? I don't see how it's better for you than just increased fire%
oh nvm acid skin
brain fade
are you snapshotting aura of decay to reach 100% crit with acid skin?
Yes I do snapshot 2 of them
Two idols
I also have better chest piece but cannot reach 180 stats with it, so waiting for red ring drop
yeah I can see it, two good rolls and you'd be above 750% increased for the cap
You can use singularity for 20% more damage btw
Yes indeed
Does acolyte have strong builds that can do both 1k+ corruptions and uberroth well
yes
one class each? stygian lich, whip lock and abom necro?
my latest project is a poison melee lich
please post a build if it works, would be supper cool
will do, I don't know how far I'll get. I usually just pick something I think would be neat and take it as far as I can
Hey for Stygian Lich does the roll of Ward per second and/or Chance to Apply doom/ignite make a big difference? Is there a cutoff I should look for? Got a 3lp but the rolls are pretty low 57 wps and 11% chance
this is for ladle?
I gues I can fix that with wov3en echo right? Just need another 3 lp to sacrifice
for potential 3 int and 26 necortic at best
np, if you figure out how to kill uber with stygian lich without shatterd worlds, let me know 😄
anyone know if "percent of missing health healed" from the aura of decay tree is considered regen? I'm thinkign it's not. My melee lich is going to use a 2h and i'm not sure which one yet, but I was thinking about using titan heart with it
rng
it is not worded as regen but testing would be good 😄
man guess I gotta respect my judge pally to timerot for ez uber? didnt know lich had it rough lol. prolly should check b4 hand
respec*
i mean i just dont have hands for it but even then, it is not easy
and my gear is up there
So let's say u have a 3lp nihlis, what u are saying lich wouldn't be best choice...
still haven't slammed it
i dont think you can run nihilis for uber without shattered worlds
it's been 15 harbingers now but i am not getting any harbinger eyes....
you need acid skin for crit
I might never slam it, right now it's perfect because it's limitless potential, no disappointment no regrets
acid skin?
Javors what corruption u doing?
acid skin gives +20% base crit
from my testing, without shattered worlds, this is better than nihilis because you cant get decent crit chance
for which build?
stygian
hmm gotta update my filter, prolly passed up on so many of those ammies :\
should I stick with the planners exalted boots till I find more lp on boots?
for mapping i dont even run those
i prefer crit damage reduction
for uber i run these
because cdr is big for damage uptime
roger
still new to this aco build and piecing it together
i guess multi LP on those boots is a pain in the ass to get? I got the gloves in 2lp a few times
boots only seen 1
his planner only hasa purple helm, is that really all there is for aspire? lol
omg
more armor and dot dam mitigation is crazy good
i prolly had a billion of those drop, but they aint on my filter lol
i have 4lp in my stash, still waiting for good double exalted 😄
imma farm that priotity now
yeah, helm helps a lot with survivability
my only 4 lp kekw., if only io can get a way to apply chill. prolly not worth it though
hmm gonna imprint that skull helm
though for bis gear I believe shit ton of these
nice
nah fading brink still crazy i can do 800 corruption and the 300 corruption im still dyin 7/8 / 10 jus to a random mistake
Are these harbinger weapons useful ? I didn't play since EA
what doesw that upgrade mean? Affixes upgrade?
I got it from weaver tree
should prolly ask in general instead of flooding here, srry
isnt it just a chance to upgrade tiers/seal someting?
idk, haven't equipped them yet
Whats the best acolyte build for Uber and echos efficient clearing
Coming from Sentinel/Falconeer
cant speak about necro
but i prefer stygian lich for mapping
compared to whiplock
for ubers, i suggest checking youtube videos for bis gear clears
though if someone hast torment, witchfire or ghostflame warlock uber kill videos please share
It changes the implicits
You can see it on LET but it adds an implicit
Maybe one day those will kill lmao
im try and kill with stygian
Uber is Flame Whip or Stygian Lich.
Clear is Wraithlird
Stygian is more all rounded than Flame Whip and Wraithlord has the best clear but no Uber kills
nah you want this
well not that specifically
Abom is the best build for everything because I like it the most
Whichever build you you end up enjoying the most is going to be the one that you're going to get to the level where you can do everything
yes health is better as second, ward retention does nothing(?)
but they are really rare
at least six times as rare as red rings at least for me 😄
and at that point weaver idols might(?) be better
does anyone have a phd in infernal shade i have like 100 questions
I've got an associates
for a full bleed build is eulogy better than taste?
depends if you proc a melee skill
proc harvest
Eulogy is good for cb proc harvest because itll hasten your bleed
er taste
Eulopgy is better if you wanna lean into rip blood
i have rip blood proc but its just to keep me topped up
im not familiar with axe mods can i get bleed phys pen?
oh youre a chaos bolt guy you know what im doing lol
im doing bleed bolt reaper
still unsure about my glove slot, maybe grasp of the blood mage
i think i need a thorn slinger belt and either a grasp of the blood mage or a salt the wound
i have a decent chunk of crit multi
Hey for Stygian Lich Mad Ladle, the main thing I'm looking for is high spell damage right? does the other stuff matter?
Hi all - anyone running shotgun lich and can help me figure out why my damage sucks? If you're damage is good can I compare items to you or maybe figure out if im pressing buttons wrong?
grasp is good, salt the wounds is good too
I think so, if not crit multi with salt the wounds
or phys pen
I was playing Lock for bleed

im also using flayer cuz its amazing, and pearls, but i went lich for reaper pen and damage roid
its also a defensive layer
this stygian lich build is meant for point and click movement
like if u hold down drain life it ramps so much faster and with wasd movement u cant really hold down qerf or whatever it was
why it seem Wraithlord build is more popular than Abomination build? 😵💫 🙏
it has way better monolith clear
how about Bossing tho🤔
I am still wonder should I switch mastery, my Necro just cant face tanking the boss damage...
No acolyte can face tank
I know but Necro only can wait for the minion kill the boss, right?
maybe my build just need another health regen slam...
is this good enough for slamming ?
everything depends on your gear!
Do you have Int, mana, and crit chance?
It is not regen, it's considered healing.
on char sheet, int is 151, spell crit 32%, mana 175
lvl 83 rn
Your mana is horrible, way too low.
theres no items in the guide that add mana and his video hes doing 20ks to uber abba
Tombs of the Erased / 1.2.3
Acolyte / Lich
• Rip Blood
• Transplant
• Drain Life
• Reaper Form
• Death Seal
does mana add dmg? i dont have mana problems rlly
Well I see he has 300+ mana which is an okay amount.
Yes, read stygian coal.
1 mana per level.
i have the 151 int that he says (have 150+ int)
But do you have that passive node?
warlock tree
Warlock, 2nd column
oh i didnt start putting poijnts in there at all yet
how do i get more mana tho?
inlike going off that guys build
he has no +mana items
150 int= 150 mana because of that node.
Any ideas why sometimes i lose reaper form?
...are you losing your health and dropping because of that? lol
If you "die" you lose reaper form.
The other common way that happens is that you lost health and "died" because you casted too much while using Grasp of the Blood Mage.
Lich drain ramps infinitely as well, does it not? So eventually, if you aren't constantly leeching, you will drop
Yup, but unless you have a player skill issue you'll most likely keep it up during combat.
Yes, but it is worth noting the ramp, which means between packs you end up having less and less time. If he's looting slowly or just dawdling, that'd explain it
Die means i take too much damage?
I didn't use grasp
Yes.
Then you just 'died'.
I use lich envy gloves
If you're in reaper form for a very long time the health drain reaches a point where the moment you stop leeching it near instantly removes the form
Ow ,now more clear , thx
https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/ALp3pazA any suggestions for next upgrade?

anyone doing wheel of torment 1 button build in season 2?
I was thinking about it and pair it with damned becquse i really want to craft isandra for 30%damned penetration and 100% chance to apply damned
I'm almost there with my character and was wondering if someone is doing isadora's set bonus 😄
Most of the people that use it currently use it mostly for the spell cost reduction, since damned by itself is not that good of an ailment
Why? Genuinely asking
Damned is currently the 2nd lowest base damage ailment with a secondary effect that isn’t useful, and also a somewhat hard to stack it’s chance for high stack counts.
Correct. Poison has a useful secondary effect but it’s base damage is so low it doesn’t save it from being bad.
Damned problem is 75% because of that you can’t stack it’s chance to apply high at all, when there’s ailments with higher base damage AND more chance stacking potential.
I see
But there is a node in soul harvest tree scaling %chance on intelligence (if memory serves)
Does it scale to about 4-6 stacks per hit at the end result?
If you can, there’s a chance, since most top end ailment setups hit the visual ailment cap against bosses (999+)
Both
3% chance per int, so 3 stacks per hit at 100 int
Seems decent
Y
On the other hand, against bosses, a single chaos bolt cast with it’s damned chance node maxed can do the same thing against the boss at lower mana cost (100% chance x 4 projectiles), you would need about 133 int to match chance per hit, ignoring the mana difference.
Lemme watch that tree
If you have the chance to damned on helm, it’s also worth 4 times on chaos bolt compared to soul feast.
4 projectiles= 4 hits= any chance to hit effect is also multiplied 4 times.
Because they can hit same target shotgunning?
If you have generic 200% chance to damned, each cast of chaos bolt is 8 stacks on a boss.
Yes.
Since the hit is an explosion
if you're going damned you really want to be in on pyre of affliction, ashes of mortality and so on
You have a lot of skill points in necrotic flat and necrotic pen and stuff and you have fire build
use maehlin's hubris to turn bleeds into ignites, self inflict bleeds with spirit plague, which become ignites. Turn that into a lot of ward generation and a lot of self-damned stacks with pyre of affliction & ashes of mortality & the warlock end of tree passive and you can get giga necrotic pen for damned if you can avoid killing yourself with high double digits to triple digits of damned on self with a lot of + duration.
And how to fix it
I can't imagine that one cycle of putrescence is correct. Pretty sure it's either zero or two, one just doesn't produce enough zombies/shades etc
Ii Idk , that's why ask for advice
with one ring you have a 100% chance to one zombie, 50% chance for the second, 33% chance for the third etc.
Two rings is 200/100/66/50/40/33. Much better zombie numbers in practice. Pretty mana intensive tho. IDK if the marked for death is worth it or not
Legion in the shades tree doesn't work with the Zombie on-death proc afaik
Do you actually have many vanguards spawning with just the 5% from the lich passive tree? AFAICT vanguards are the only minions which do anything with the 30% chance to spawn a zombie on minion death nodes that you're actually using
that node is amazing for generating zombies if you're sacrificing skeletons but it doesn't trigger off zombies or corpse parasites
5% well, never seen 1
they probably get killed by your shades super fast
it's 5% on kill and you have a 30% chance for a zombie from that so you're talking about maybe one extra zombie per 300 enemies killed
and that's only killed by you. If you get the 16% kill threshold on zombies, as I'd suggest you do, then your zombies will actually killsteal quite a bit
even tho you're not a minion build

Is the crit chance on the infernal shade explosion 100%
How to check
Critical strike chance ?
on that planner it's 72% spell crit
Idk Im just a fan of snapshot so I look for reason to run unspec transplant and aura bone curse with acid skin snapshot with swine
with your typical gameplay how much are you self casting infernal shade?
Like 3/4 max what i see
oh okay, mostly on corpse parasites?
My idols sucks, haven't found anything else
seems like you're relying on them for crit reduction a lot
so I wouldn't race to replace them unless you get that sorted
Yea
If you meant "Is it by default?", no.
i'm kinda surprised you have enough minions to really need cast speed with Legion
No
Ah you meant their build then
But mostly this is not the case
self curse acid skin with 11% crit reduction would be an exercise in frustration
I think awakening presence in the zombies tree is doing nothing at all for you
I normally never use reap so I don't have reap nodes spec in the reaper but if it increases move speed it's good?
Maybe it's worthwhile taking 2% move speed off that travel node and putting it in the 3/4 crit node for the 25% crit chance
idk if the flat necrotic on the lich tree is any good
If you have 4 points to spare, you can turn reap into a very good movement skill, and can still let you use another movement skill along for high speeds.
Double traversal is very good.
Check it, always have 3 internal shade
if a dot kills something, is it only the tick of the dot that does the murder considered for overkill or the entire dot? i'm pretty sure it's just the tick, but never know
Only the tick.
Ty sir
A single low life gloves mod of T1 or T2 makes leech absolutely goated btw
As acolyte, can't you just put 1 passive into a health drained per second node?
Yeah I guess so
The effect it has is that while such a drain is active you can never hit 100% hp so your leeches don't end and need to be rebuilt after taking damage.
Your health will just shoot straight back up without delay if you've been DPSing at full life
guys question
is stygian coal lich uberroth viable
for someone with half a braincell
It will technically drop the next tick for that instance if you ever touch 100%hp, but the rest wuill
Yes.
Debatable.
for reference the only character i've managed uberroth so far is a timerot vk
i have a quarter of a braincell and managed to kill it, so yes
is it auto aim? it looks like auto aim
kind of
if you start running around it will start firing in all directions
for optimal damage you either have to be close or be attacking with other skills
ye u gotta be like inside of the boss
but the keybinds are weird cause u have to hold down rip blood and drain life at the same time while pressing other keybinds which is why im like its a point to click movement build unless u can find suitable keybinds on wasd
i was kind of hoping for a controller friendly build
i guess i could bind those on triggers and make it work
yeah you need to buttons pressed down and aim
you rip blood somewhere to the side of the boss, stygians will try to aim to the new spot
it is weird tbh
fading brink wit dis build is insane
u get 1 tapped out of reaper form ur basically dead unless its cus i dont have cdr on boots yet
if you lose reaper form, you go full dodge mode 😄
If you got kicked out of reaper form you basically died once
Uberroth's fight is affected by your monolith modifiers, in case that matters.
nah its fading brink
Oh, those are affected by your monolith modifiers too, and apprently also add on their own damage and health multiplier on top of corruption's.
ye holy smokes that was hard af
I had at least 30 attempts because of the stupid harbingers that do the slicing attack
Hey is Wall of nothing viable chest for lich build? Had one drop with 2 lp while hunting for null portent
Stygian Lich(
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOZQ1SsWpos uber kill 3 min, couldve been 2 min with better play, still learining the build, no uber uniques/double t7s
Wall gives the % chance to not take a hit which is nice, but part of the stats are bonuses to ward which is a bit wasted with death seal...
Why is the mapping not as good with it? The aoe coverage of fire seems wide. Does the damage rely on stacking many shades?
the dps is even more enormous i played really badly u could see how i one tapped his phase 3 into phase 4
ideally u do that on every phase
its not just hp, build has 14 K ARMOR and 50% armor to dots
its insane
hahah
@autumn bough on a generational run with the uber kills 😮
will be even better
hahah half of my cooks like that, its just optimal in LE, Mikes VISION of generator spender
thats the tankiest build ive seen barring egregiously bugged stuff
I played hellfire when you could get infinite shades it was hilarious in arena since shades went to spawns and stayed there from shade on kill ghostmaker 😛
shit was hilarious, but this ramps harder. @autumn bough did you confirm that sac node DoT buff was multi?
oh i didnt bother properly testing since i can grab everything anyways
will do later
https://youtu.be/mhq0TWrJYZE early cook, maybe ill find imporvement i swithced 2 nodes on shade tree put it on bar to manually cast with 1.3 sec cd and switched to cdr belt
the goofy outdated zombie running animations always looks funny
but i see what you mean, the zombies have to run to enemies, the damage is over time and it seems its fairly resource intensive
resources is whatever cause u can always spam rip blood
and ye u need to manually infernal shade if zombos too slow
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7gCO7jgvns here more or less final version unless some new tech comes up, experimental boots make it much better
what LP average u guys kill uber abby with?
I have 2 on wep and offhand but everything else 1 and my best is 78% so theoretically could get it to 60 cus no shield but still
stygian lich tho
i personally follow maxroll benchamarks: no uber items, no double exlated items, no LP items with over 1/100 chance
ofc the more gear u have the easier kills gets
Ethical gamer 
ive seen a few stygians kill uber but they already have uber gear
stygian kills it without but if u get uber relic it gets way easier iirc
^
OP relic
well its also not the easiest kill u need to play good
do mechanics, place lasers dont touch balls etc
Bleed Lock is calling my name back lmao
ye ik but my damage low first slam its like 80% health 80% shield or lower if i dont bug it
do it
dont know if intentional but bugs if u dash into it and the beam hits u or whatever he doesnt do the slam at first
thats more than enough dmg for uber, not low
if anything thats more than 99% of builds on same endgame budget
🤣
ground of destruction jus aids mechanic
teleport when he rizes up
ez
acolyte is so unethical hahaah getting 10k hp+15k ward with double t7 gears
perfect level and crit multi rolls. flat spell low but w.e
I hope the turtle is kind to me
it was cdr i needed on boots i instantly beat my best attempt
cause u can go back into reaper form
i also got the decaying skull helm and followin lastepochtools guide now
didnt read build as much but they use pearls of swine for crit afaik
ffs tho I missed my 3LP pearls armor shred
had T5 armor shred 😔
Turtle was not kind and made my near perfect roll spine into LP0
I just hope Nemesis will be kind to me
What about 265 mil now
🙂
same gear, just perfectly performed combo
insane
im surprised that there was only one 3 lp ghost maker on market
well actually now that im seeing its 1/30k it makes sense
3lp kinda useless sadly
u mostly want 2lp with t7 speed+pen
all u can get is % inc dmg for 3lp
i mean mana would be nice tbh for some regen hahaha
Is it even worth building defenses for uber abberoth fight? Or any damage is one shot anyway and better go full glass cannon?
Iirc enough defenses turn it into 2-3 shots instead of one, so it's a matter of breakpoints.
Hi folks - I am trying to build a Skeletal Mage build that can take on uber aberroth. Did anyone here do that? Because currently it seems quite impossible. They just die at slam no matter how much minion health I snapshot
I wanted to give stygian coal lich a try, noticed there were some varieties. Anyone who can recommend one over the other?
Crit
Nope, considering profane skeletal mage can't hit that high of a corruption, no.
there is more than one variant?
I know there's the poison variant
What is high corruption? I am doing just fine at 500 - the mages don't die here. Not even close 🙂
They didn't even die in a T4 Julra explosion.
1k+ corruption.
Uberroth, by comparison, has health equal to the abomination boss' health, at 24k corruption.
Ok - well it's not really it's health that is the issue. Once the minions can survive the slam I'm pretty sure it'll go down. But thanks for the info
If you can just resummon the mage when it dies then it doesn't matter when it gets killed
Snapshotting is gross
I found my sweetheart, but I haven't Mortality's Grasp 4lp
Oh jesus that’s disgusting
Anyone playing Infernal Shade necro and can help with a few questions? Dread Shade skill tree is really confusing me...
what build are u follwoing?
i posted a showcase of it yrday with uber kill, OP build
hmm what are u confused about on shade?
I assembled the character, a low-life version, with exsanguinous, last steps, boneclamor barbute and some exalted life lost gloves that I managed to craft the set on
oh def go life not LL, its not worth imo way squishier with like 10% more dmg
but LL is ok too
what confuses me on Dread Shade is why are you taking the node that buffs minions OUTSIDE the area, along with the node that sets the shade on minions?
I actually don't have lvl 80 yet for Twisted Heart, was gonna test that too once I get lvl 80
the thing is my minions and myself are always inside the area, because it's so huge, at least on mapping
with life i have 6k hp+10k ward, immortal build and with doublt t7 items its 10k hp+15k ward
dread shade buffs are ONLY for you, minions are irrelivant on the build, they are proc machines, putting shade on enemy allows 100% uptime on all buffs, if you put on minion itll die and shade dissapear, the outer range garantees buff easier since all u need to do is not to get too close to enemy
it gives 60%-120% more dmg to you and 24-48% cast speed and 10k armor, insane buffer
but if I play badly and find myself inside the area, I should just remove that node that buffs outside?
itll be even harder without that node since you will always need to be close to enemies
in monos you can just put 2 shades on different enemies which will make it much easier
on bosses just step outside of circle and u good
Okay. What about mana? I'm spamming rip blood all the time, but I feel like at times my dmg is hindered by not having enough mana, when I get some chain procs, I feel like I am stopping the chain when I get out of mana. Should I focus getting some mana pool?
be sure to take exactly same zombi tree as i do, i take only 2 pts into sacrifice proc node to mitigate mana , and stacking cast speed is main source of mana sustain, get the LP dagger with cast speed
maintining buff from dread shade also gives a lot of cast speed
more mana pool wont help, focus on speed
OOH also huge tip for mana, use SET gloves not set affix, literally set gloves
itll trivialize mana
I have all that. Got the exact tree, cast speed on the dagger. I'm probably not good at maintaining the dread shade buff, as I find myself inside the circle a lot of the time.
then you dont cast rip blood enough ig, i just hold the button 99% of the time, with spell quing, u can see on my vid how i put skills in sequence on the bar to abuse spell que
Ok. I'll try spamming more, get cast speed on my focus too and try the set gloves.
Thanks a lot, it's a really cool build!
with set gloves main roll is -14 infernal shade cost to make it 0
In the chaos bolt skill there is a node that proc harvest and it says "Chaos bolt hits have a chance per Dexterity to cause you to attack with harvest". I was wondering if the affix on Death's embrace the scythe (for harvest) will count for that node ?
The affix on Death's Embrace says "Gain a stack when u use harvest". Using harvest means a direct cast of the skill ?
It should give you a stack. It has to say Direct Cast for it to be manually pressed
Unless the wording for that node in particular is inconsistent with everything else. But it should give stacks
last time i tested it was only on direct use
in 1.1
its still worth, best harvest build is on warlock where u manually spam+fissure procs
and go LL with all ward on hit
Sadge
I swear I was gaining stacks last time I used it but my last build with that node was such a clown show
sadge
Do imprinted uniques always drop at the same LP?
Been getting the same 1LP Spine. Only difference is affix rolls
No, can drop with less, can drop with more
what do you mean by skill queueing? How does the order of skills on the bar matter?
skills que by prio from left to right if you hold 2 skills at the same time you will always cast the left one if possible, i hold my 4th skill on the bar with least prio so every time i press any other button i cast other skill and spam pressed skill all the time
as it happens I have a 3lp cycle of putresence, suggestions for a third slam?
for your shades build
mana regen, int, hp+regen
Could I ask you guys for some advice on farming priority for my lich, below? As a family man I don't have tons of time for playing, so I'm trying to figure out what will build power most per play time:
Goals that I have in mind, but can't figure out priority of, are:
- Level 100 for the last 3 passives
- Get to Aberroth for neck upgrade (at 275 C now)
- Farm better head/armor through nemesis (in Weaver towers?)
- More LP on Boots/Relic/Gloves
- More LP on Wand/Coal
- Generally get to higher corruption (at 275 now)
- Finish weaver progression and change the tree, maybe?
And on top of this I'm sure there something I'm missing
i can try to give you some tips
are you sure wrongwarp is better then mad alchemist ladle?
cast speel doesnt work for stygian beams as far as i know and I am doubtful if inc spell damage is better then more damage from ladle
i do not recommend nihilis without shattered worlds
you will not have enough crit chance
from aberroth i would suggest null portent chest and switch to nihilis after uber aberoth drops shattered worlds
i would also suggest getting 2 red rings, imo with imprinting and acendancy runes and prohecies they are not bad to farm
2 red rings on his schedule may take a long time
If its roughly 750k Favor per CoF ring drop
Imprinting can help but you gotta get 1 first
also I really recommend this helm
His current helm does SLAP, but agree decayed is great
first you get with runes imo, faster
The rune chance on RR is so low
eh you might be right, I might as well got really lucky
I'm pushing all runes of ascendance into rings
IMO the Mad Alchemist Ladel is better. That change also opens you up for exalted boots that may help cap crit avoidance or reduction.
Although your current wrongwarp with giga movespeed is a good choice. Ultimately “more” spell damage and cast speed as said by Ardol is more efficient
and all my favor too
If you only dedicate to RR hunting, yes you can get one somewhat early
But the drop chance is still insanely low
Nihilis isn’t a bad idea as you are CoF and combined with the big stat stick of health that is your twisted heart. You just wanna make sure the Nihilis rolls quite well
I’d say you understand your situation and goals make sense
While hunting that ladel you can also hunt the +Drain life chest
Due to weaver tree with the Mages nodes
So thats pretty optimal
“Opulent Usurpers” top of the Weaver tree etc
I have two ladles, one with 50% cast speed slam, one with 170 % spell damage slam
I just had the feeling that the much bigger flat +spell from wrongwarp, combined with the speed scaling made that weapon better for now
but I haven't tested it on dummies to be fair
Ideally it’s double crit on ladel I think. But the spell dmg is good too
Wrongwarp may feel better because you have T7 slammed boots
But I think you can change the boots out for more total defensives while potentially increasing your dmg down the line
Boots can roll Hp, Cooldown recovery and the Citadel boots have Crit dmg reduction as an implicit. Not to mention more Int in a prefix
Pair that with another roll of crit dmg reduction instead of avoid. And you get more armor which is more DR. And ladel multiplies your dmg output instead of adding to it
Your spell crit before that Uber relic. Let’s say you never get it because thats the reasonable idea.
Can be pitentially aided by sealed off or just the prefix of Crit Chance on your chest + helm
In addition spell crit on a ladel yada yada
The Maxroll Guide has a great example of Chest / Helm / boots setup that isn’t too impossible
Especially if you imprint a helmet or chest with the shared crit
Okay that’s all I got for a word dump
thanks 🙂
I'd overlooked the +skill affix node between the exiled mage nodes in the weaver tree, and that makes a lot of sense for hunting a +4 drain life chest
Cast speed is mostly for rip blood spam
Yo guys i have a question. Is there a planned acolyte rework for the next season? I saw a reddit thread some weeks ago but i dont know if thats actually confirmed by the devs
1.3 is mostly confirmed that lich is getting a change. No details nor if necromancer is also getting changes.
Would love for my skeletal mages to be able to live through Abby's slam 🙂
Not even wraithlord could live through it right now, so that's a tall order.
How its possible 🤣
I finally reached rank 12 CoF and have just spent about 150k favor on ring prophecies.... fingers crossed that red ring is in there somewhere!
this was one boss kill later:
oh my god, one exiled mage prophecy proc and...
Sorry to gush all over here, but it's the first red ring I ever see myself in this game xD
Congrats!
does going to the observatory despawn my abomination?
... also, imprinting is such a broken mechanic. Not an hour has passed and this just happened:
Yet for the life of me imprinting won't give me anything remotely close to exalted items I imprint
like, who on earth tested this mechanic and figured "yeah, this seems to work as intended"
Yes, it will trigger a resummon on any official zone change. Abom remembers the minions it ate, but not the stats you had when you summoned it.
your just lucky and unlucky ... even imprinted i almost never see red rings
i have 2 in total rn
and the exalted side is working fine
I've been imprinting red rings for 2 weeks and yesterday was the first one I've seen drop from imprinting..
mike confirmed today that necro and lich both are two masteries that will get the most rework in s3 including passive tree changes and a bunch of threshold bonuses
also some cold conversions probably
oo nice to know now im jus playing sentinel and gonna es vk for uber cus im bad then use shattered worlds on my Stygian lich lmao
could’ve tried with armor shred on neck but didn’t wanna die for hours and I’ve got a decent grip on the fight so learning it on es vk shouldn’t be too hard
Oh nice necro cfmed
You make me want to postpone playing my Lich character again
🦎
Now we can swap mastery, right? There's a guy inviting me to level a warlock and then switch mastery to Lich
fissure is pretty sweet for levelling
Insane gear on an offline character
Its not even possible 😔
I have no idea if it is possible, it likely is “possible”, but the gear needed would have to be unrealistic
hey, has anyone tried a pure summon skeletal mage build? can the skeletal mages survive high corruptions bosses? and what about dps for uber abberoth?
The closest is profane oblation skeletal mage.
Other than abom, no other minion build has cleared uberroth. Last I heard someone trying to play skeletal mages against uberroth the mages get consistently one shotted even with snapshotting.
ah ok, thank you!
yummy 
i have a build that with double t7 items has 10400 hp and 15k ward and kills dummy in 14 sec, so def possible on some builds
😏
No Witchfire, no wrongwarp im poor 
Damn it, if they rework the Lich passive, my leech health convert damage build might be completely ruined too😭
For a low life Warlock, is Health or Necrotic Resistance better for ward generation, assuming you're wearing Boneclamor Barbute
Health gives more raw ward per sec but necro res gives some ward per second and threshold
Idealy, you just take both.
Why choose when I can have both?🤦♀️
Question with harvest node on chaos bolt if I hit with chaos bolt and harvest proc will the harvest hit count as melee or spell ?
Harvest is always melee
So even if the node proc from afar which isn't melee it still count as melee hit because it's a melee skill nice. If it applies to every single skill node in other skill tree that's a really cool system !
The harvest procced by chaos bolts is affected by your harvest skill tree, but not your chaos bolts skill tree
So hypothetically if I increase the harvest area node inside the harvest tree. It will damage in a wider area causing it to deal more damage per proc if multiple target are close enough to each other that is neat.
Yeah, exactly 😁
Even that node that builds up spirit shards to refund mana at 13 stack works
Oh so there might really be a decent build that utilize harvest by casting chaos bolt only. I'mma try to do something with it. I hope it will have a faster clearing pace than harvest (death embrace) build.
This is for slamming and with my suffix slots being crowded which would you pick if you could only pick one?
Health.
Ty 🙏
Got a pile of 2-3 LPs for a lowlife build and don't wanna waste em. Gonna try Witchfire, actually haha. Still ironing out the build.
#1210289045310017536 message
send thumbs up pls ailment bros/broettes
another way that might work for single stack dots is a strong single target spell that could be spec'ed to scale with inc dot or chance to apply ailment
something like witchfire scales from chance to apply ignite/damned
yeah, maybe on transplant you could have a node which adds tons and tons of ailment damage to transplant explosions based on all your various global chance to apply ailment stats.
It's basically impossible to exploit for stacking ailments because of the cooldown, the essential utility as a travel skill means you wouldn't want to rely on it for your ailment application for bossing but for just doing monos you can jump on a pack and there's spreading flames & plague wrecking them. Also add a chance to apply spirit plague on hit affix to acolyte chests
yeah or to prevent exploitation you would remove the ailments on hit so it would work as a nuke
if single stack ailments dont get any sort of single target support from other skills they will never be viable end game single target or they have to be absurdly busted
the Javelin skill tree that people are using for time rot is just shy of a 12x multiplier to ailments applied by the hit.
I don't think that's enough to make a Javelin/Firestarter's Torch spreading flames build actually good as things stand
time rot has its own prolif on death anyway, so the appeal of something like that is limited considering the truly absurd dps of time rot
poe kind of had a way that made sense for dot single target a few years ago
you would use poe version of spirit plague for clear and for single target you used something like ghostflame that scaled from dot damage
I thought the clear skill was more like hungering souls than spirit plague
can't remember the name of it tho
you're talking about the chaos non-ailment DOT stuff right?
it was essend drain for clear and wither for single target support
yes
the one like hungering souls is soul rend
Afaik time rot jav clear is pretty meh compared to the other options VK has (which, admittedly, is comparing it to a VERY high bar) but I think that's more the applicator and not the DoT itself that is limiting, idk
If rot wasn't capable of killing uber from his first phase to zero before he reacts in any way, perhaps there could be more interesting things there
Anyone can recommend me a good warlock build this season? Already burned through sentinel and primalist builds lol
Witchfire or Torment for lock
No Witchfire with me
Is there a clip of farming Lich Stygian Coal echo at 2k+ corruption or higher, guys?
I got to 1200 corruption with flame whip warlock (can go more, just didn't bother yet), can recommend, pretty nice
best i can do is a lich using reaper form with chaos bolts
That's not a warlock build-
is that good for witchfire?
Its decent, I feel like with Calamity on it should go a bit higher
a) Ignite & damned relics are probably more dmg
B) do you have damned chance on chest & helm
If you go super offensive Witchfire can go up to 1mil on dummies
Also what is Mr. Bone Golem doing on your bar
oh yes. I'm looking for 3LPs to maintain life and armor.
hahaah golem is for decoy for nemesis and mages.

this glove Atrophy gives much damage.
Yeah Atrophy is quite good
thinking about low life. but the ward thing is not working yet
searching for ward on helmet, armor and catalyst. then I'll try low life
Low life wouldn't work as long as you wear the witchfire relic, unless you take hollow lich.
yes. that node
If you go low life I’d use Profane Veil honestly
oh yes. I'll dump rip blood
ive been trying to cook witchfire too, new to acolyte though mainly play shaman https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/QkqNNRbo

i feel like with all the leech low life is not worth it?
Isadora's 2 set bonus doesn't apply to witchfire.
And there's a better mace base to use:
isn't it good to get damned overload faster?
i guess atrophy is better then
That's about it. Normally chaos bolts would handle that pretty easily anyway in 3-4 casts.
best weapon for witchfire so far with curse damage.
Weapon? Isadora's set doesn't have a weapon piece.
Oh, yeah I'm telling them to use the hammer, they're using the poison mace rn.
isadora set so good, but doesn't work. sadly
and there's no affix good for sinathia shield. minion I think.
i had poison mace before i realized how much the tree naturally gives, fire pen looks good
I' ll try someday for 6 skill points
6? You won't be using a minion.
the set for sinathia gives 2 skill points for curse skill. I'm usind 3 curses.
so I'would waste an affix for these point. I have to check first. didn't think much about it
Oh
sinathia shield is good for curse cast speed to machinegun trigger profane orbs
which makes for more bone curse triggers
only this affix
yeah i mean the shield, not the affix shard
Oh lmao the main shield
yeah most of the stats on it are junk for non-minion builds but curse cast speed is rare
But profane orb works with generic cast speed.
