And +1

#

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.

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

Have 2 of them

Allocated this node and still don't have +2 for this skill

Thanks

Btw, look at them

Just chilling beside me, considering I have Cruelty equipped.

No idea how exactly that happened

@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

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.

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

wise leaf
zinc jay
#

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

near hearth
#

i play wraithlord style, so what affix insert to my LP helm?? vitality and intel??

#

what affix that synergize with necro build wraithlord

zinc jay
near hearth
zinc jay
#

Check like this @near hearth

near hearth
zinc jay
#

Or this

zinc jay
#

Basically you need make immortal wraithlord for hp and decent dps ,so he will destroy everything

wise leaf
#

You can also get immolator belt for more damage

zinc jay
#

Im intelligence stacking

#

Its not that important you think? @wise leaf

wise leaf
#

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

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

zinc jay
#

Y need up 1 monolith into high corruption

deft otter
#

Only 1?

zinc jay
#

And rest easy up by 1 orobyss kill

deft otter
#

Holy shit sorry i m kinda newbie but i lll take in consideration all of your words🙏🏻

#

I will push reign of dragons so

zinc jay
#

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?

deft otter
#

Stygian beam lich

#

And other character are earthquake beastmaster and jugement paladin

#

For now atleast

zinc jay
#

😐

deft otter
#

😅🤣🤣🤣

zinc jay
#

I find my way this acolyte class most fun thou

#

I use infernal shade build

deft otter
#

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

zinc jay
#

Just make sure you do enough dps

#

And don't die

zinc jay
deft otter
#

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?

zinc jay
#

For Uber need each gear 3lp , some acceptable at 2lp

willow verge
#

I cant get this kkilled. It is my 3rd character

#

Maybe it is time to roll a VK

zinc jay
#

I kill regular Aberroth in 80 seconds

#

But uber undoable

Check video and gear

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

signal scarab
zinc jay
#

So twice faster

signal scarab
#

Yes ofc, the point is to prove its possible with lesser gear

#

don't need 3lp minmax

Oke

But you still need 1lp x2 red rings

yy nothing i guess xd

well then I am severely hands diffed

pearl snow
#

yeah your gear is comparable to that uber kill linked earlier

#

so its possible

empty kite
#

And how much more damage immolation oblation is compared to chains of uleros for flame whip? it's sacrificing defense for offense I guess

slender ibex
#

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?

obtuse quest
#

Counts up to 1% hp left I think

spark flower
#

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

empty kite
#

And pretty active, fissure, shade, curse, teleport

#

Costantly running and pressing buttons

#

Ah yes, and bosses are stunlocked (most), also pretty nice

spark flower

That's all I need to hear, thanks

#

Flamewhip it is

lost gale
#

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

obtuse quest
lost gale
#

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

obtuse quest
#

Yeah that's why it's just.. okay at best

lost gale
#

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

calm dome
#

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?

old hull
pearl snow
#

I would say expect like 10-20 average added flat dmg on whip though

calm dome
#

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

obtuse quest
#

Everything affects you as if you're an enemy.

#

(kill threshold doesn't work if the target has ward)

calm dome
#

oh ok. ward stopping that definitely helps. I thought they would just instantly kill with one hit if you are low life

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

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

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 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

pearl snow
#

Same here with the sac lol

lost gale
#

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

pearl snow
#

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

north lance
#

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

north lance
#

Which node makes mana increase damage?

north lance
#

Ok, i see

#

Which 2 affixes are great for Nihilis 2LP with this build?

lost gale
#

apparently spam casting life drain increases the ROF of the beams enough that it does more DPS overall than keeping your mana high

north lance
#

Does that mean if you cast again while the life drain duration is still active, it will fire two beams simultaneously?

lost gale
#

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

north lance
lost gale
#

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

cold grail
#

For a lich wand, which imprint is priority, crit strike multiplier or spell crit strike chance?

lost gale
#

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

cold grail
#

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.

lost gale
#

yeah definitely

#

do you have the uberroth relic?

cold grail
#

No

lost gale
#

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

empty kite
#

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

lost gale
#

oh nvm acid skin

#

brain fade

#

are you snapshotting aura of decay to reach 100% crit with acid skin?

empty kite
#

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

lost gale
#

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

empty kite
#

Yes indeed

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?

doesnt

#

only implicit

yeah, but would not bother

for potential 3 int and 26 necortic at best

#

is this totally rng or will the roll always improve? I haven't used this one yet

arctic turtle
#

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

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

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

median pebble

i dont think you can run nihilis for uber without shattered worlds

drifting idol
#

it's been 15 harbingers now but i am not getting any harbinger eyes....

median pebble
#

you need acid skin for crit

weary gulch
#

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?

median pebble
#

acid skin gives +20% base crit

#

from my testing, without shattered worlds, this is better than nihilis because you cant get decent crit chance

weary gulch
#

for which build?

median pebble
#

stygian

weary gulch
#

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?

median pebble
#

for mapping i dont even run those

#

i prefer crit damage reduction

#

for uber i run these

#

because cdr is big for damage uptime

weary gulch

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

yeah, and i havent farmed them yet

Abom is the best build for everything because I like it the most

you want second line to be health and the enchant to be ward/ward retention

i think

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

i know the main idol is health/ward and health

idk about the green stats tho

median pebble

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

Lich drain ramps infinitely as well, does it not? So eventually, if you aren't constantly leeching, you will drop

obtuse quest
vivid monolith

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

anyone doing wheel of torment 1 button build in season 2?

minor cedar
ivory gale
#

I'm almost there with my character and was wondering if someone is doing isadora's set bonus 😄

obtuse quest
#

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

obtuse quest
# minor cedar 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.

minor cedar
#

The first being?

#

Poison?

obtuse quest
# minor cedar Poison?

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.

minor cedar
#

I see

#

But there is a node in soul harvest tree scaling %chance on intelligence (if memory serves)

obtuse quest
minor cedar
#

Obviously idk 😀

#

Was a rethorical question or you actually asking?

obtuse quest
#

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

minor cedar
#

Y

obtuse quest
#

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.

minor cedar
#

Lemme watch that tree

obtuse quest
#

If you have the chance to damned on helm, it’s also worth 4 times on chaos bolt compared to soul feast.

minor cedar
#

Ok i watched chaos bolts tree

#

Why is so much better?

obtuse quest
minor cedar
#

Because they can hit same target shotgunning?

obtuse quest
#

If you have generic 200% chance to damned, each cast of chaos bolt is 8 stacks on a boss.

obtuse quest
minor cedar
#

Ahh that makes a difference

#

Well ty

obtuse quest
#

Since the hit is an explosion

minor cedar
#

Maybe i cook something with bolts then

#

I mean, sticking with damned 😀

lost gale
#

if you're going damned you really want to be in on pyre of affliction, ashes of mortality and so on

gritty cargo
lost gale
# minor cedar I mean, sticking with damned 😀

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.

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

lost gale
#

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

#

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

As acolyte, can't you just put 1 passive into a health drained per second node?

lost gale
#

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

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

autumn bough
#

oh def go life not LL, its not worth imo way squishier with like 10% more dmg

#

but LL is ok too

fleet elk
#

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?

fleet elk
#

the thing is my minions and myself are always inside the area, because it's so huge, at least on mapping

autumn bough
#

with life i have 6k hp+10k ward, immortal build and with doublt t7 items its 10k hp+15k ward

autumn bough
#

it gives 60%-120% more dmg to you and 24-48% cast speed and 10k armor, insane buffer

fleet elk
#

but if I play badly and find myself inside the area, I should just remove that node that buffs outside?

autumn bough
#

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

fleet elk
#

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?

autumn bough
#

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

fleet elk
#

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.

autumn bough

#

Ok. I'll try spamming more, get cast speed on my focus too and try the set gloves.

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 ?

pearl snow
#

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

autumn bough
#

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

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

pearl snow
#

2 red rings on his schedule may take a long time

#

If its roughly 750k Favor per CoF ring drop

median pebble
#

huh

#

that is either wrong with imprinting or I got really lucky

pearl snow
#

Imprinting can help but you gotta get 1 first

median pebble
#

also I really recommend this helm

pearl snow
#

His current helm does SLAP, but agree decayed is great

median pebble

#

The rune chance on RR is so low

median pebble
#

eh you might be right, I might as well got really lucky

astral viper
#

I'm pushing all runes of ascendance into rings

pearl snow
astral viper
#

and all my favor too

pearl snow
#

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

astral viper
#

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

pearl snow
#

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

astral viper
#

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

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

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...

astral viper
#

Sorry to gush all over here, but it's the first red ring I ever see myself in this game xD

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"

i have 2 in total rn

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

north lance
#

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 ?

ancient jewel
# old hull 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 !

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.

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.

lost gale

#

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

lost gale
# median pebble another way that might work for single stack dots is a strong single target spel...

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

median pebble
#

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

lost gale
#

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

median pebble
#

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

lost gale
#

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?

median pebble
#

it was essend drain for clear and wither for single target support

#

yes

#

the one like hungering souls is soul rend

vivid monolith
#

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 meGregory

Is there a clip of farming Lich Stygian Coal echo at 2k+ corruption or higher, guys?

is that good for witchfire?

pearl snow
#

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

dusty token
#

oh yes. I'm looking for 3LPs to maintain life and armor.

hahaah golem is for decoy for nemesis and mages.

and there's no affix good for sinathia shield. minion I think.

I' ll try someday for 6 skill points

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

white robin
#

sinathia shield is good for curse cast speed to machinegun trigger profane orbs

#

which makes for more bone curse triggers

dusty token

only this affix

white robin

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
