i had them on defense i assume? and now the swords mean attack?
ye golem still next to me unless i get nearer
going full aura of decay with flay is fun af
i was having the exact same idea
except with flay
yo guys does anyone have a loot filter ?
for what and im just using the maxroll lvling acoyte one
for that
@lost cliffits in the maxroll guide. theres a tab on the side that says loot filter lcick on that and it should show you the loot filter there
Better with face of the mountain from what I hear
You want capped block for sure
haven't had a chance to get on yet, is Flay CB living up to the hype?
def not from what ive heard
For all the build crafters out there. How do you look at an item like Shroud of Obscurity and decides if it can help or not? I mean, if it has a modifier for your damage type or generally good stuff like health it's pretty easy, but what about those weird effects like the hp to ward convertions?
lich feels like paper
Ok i found an army of skin, what else do I need to switch too flay
hey, are there any pre abby lich builds?
Hey guys if you want to go cold melee lich here's some silly tech
Use mourningfrost and stack both int and dex with aura of decay
Ur cold res will be way negative
Then use that spear that gives cold damage taken as phys
full poison lich currently very fun
Now u can leave ur cold res at -300% or whatever and be fine
It also gives melee damage as spell damage for cold spells
So cold convert your chaos bolts and now your melee dmg applies to them
I'll probably try it as a meme build at some point
Would be a nightmare to cap crit without traitors tongue tho
im waiting for people to decide whats the better flay build before I switch over
@rancid sedge bleed easily unless you have crazy gear
But with 0 gear it's bleed no contest
High investment probably mana stacker
why is it always bleed xD
bleed still spams chaos bolts rights
Some dude said bleed lich does like 40m+ this patch
damn
cause bleed for some reason kinda has double the base dot damage of other stackable dots and has just dummy dumb support from items
you've got the axe, the boots, chalice, salt the wounds
I think for bleed you would go flay, chaos bolts, rip blood, aura of decay and reaper form
ye need to add a crit affix somewhere
So is the abomination only good with skill swapping and all that jazz?
blessing or ammy
i'll do something similar but don't go reaper forn, instead i'll go spirit pleague
@wacsa but you can just get 200%+ on chest and call it a day
And then drop harvest
You have so much flat mana already
If you aren't taking reaper form why even go lich
you can't really do reaper form* low life ๐
so flay is bad atm?
but i'm going lich for flay and dual wield
harvest is also multi not just chance, plus mana return which you might need during mapping
You can if you take aura of decay
bit i mean ye sure not like double mana meme is mandatory
You can use harvest without having it specced
oh? care to elaborate?
i mean it has mana return and ward gen nodes, not just proccing axe
Aura of decay missing health % heal will keep you above 0 hp
@abstract summit i understand the merits but I think you drop out of reaper way too often without AOD
huh, cool, will have to test that
with 26% spell leech? doubt
When you are not hitting stuff
When you are hutting stuff you will be full ho even without leech
i mean sure if you prefer that way certainly can be done. dropping out for a sec isnt a death sentence anymore
A hundred chaos bolts per second healths you 1000 hp per second
It's quality of life honestly
ye i get ya, wanna see first how mana looks like during mapping but is certainly a valid configuration
I would rather have perma crit cap and regen and lose a bit of damage
I also took another look at melee
Ur definitely right that chaos bolts are mandatory sadly
ANyone know why the maxroll Flay guide got removed?
ye it is what it is lol
Yes it does
im conflicted ... harvest gives ALOT of bleed chance and phys resist shred .... but blood teather exists and its a spell
For which build
bleed stuff
For bleed flay I would go rb
updated "rite of undeath" that gives minions pen based on overcapped necro/ele res, would 80/80/80/80 fire/cold/light/necro res give 5 or 20pen?
Although now I'm thinking
Bleed wants to be low life right
For chaos bolts
And rb loses its bleed if u convert necro for ward
Right
well just like general bleed stuff and deciding between rip blood and harvest
rib blood doubles your dmg
Wym doubles
but harvest doubles your bleed stacks and some extra dmg
rip is honestly only for ward most of the cases
even for bleed flay 99% of your stacks gonna come from CB
every stack of bleed makes the tether do 1% more dmg
You autocast rb from so many sources
1% more on 60 base unless you scale it in which case you aint scaling bleed
It's just a must have for bleed
so it's kinda questionable
Yeah my thoughts
so if you had 999 stacks of bleed thats 999% more dmg ... and it also counts as a spell
i mean sure it's free damage at the end but i would just go all on in on generic bleed stacks and CB procs personally
^
I agree
Either low life focusing on chaos bolts multi or just normal build focusing on general bleed
dang, ok
ye 150-200% multi in CB, 100 procs a sec, i dunno 1500% applicaiton with gloves? what else you need ๐
harvest tho does
-40% damage over time
-20-50% phys resist reduction
-50% phys pen
-100% bleed chance
-4% bleed chance per int
Yeah that's viable too
think Im done until they figure out this kicked for inactivity thing going on
Especially if you don't want to go low life
and harvest likes low life
How so?
it's just not in the same ballpark
Oh you meant direct cast harvest
wraith skin
lmao
5% missing health gained as ward
Yeah but the new chest piece gives you like
40%
Per second
If u harvest 4x a second that's just an exsanguinous
the hybrid low life tho
Direct cast Harvest is fine now, it's just Flay is absolutely busted
corrupted form
ye thats true ... harvest is very slow
๐
imo corrupted form is the biggest bait of the patch
If you want to go low life just use the new chestpiece it's free
"harvest slow" meanwhile flay is out there ๐ ๐ ๐
Have we tested dps
why have your ward limited so much from corrupted form when you can literally get 50k ward
ye it is ... but hey if you have half the max health thats effectively a 50% life cost reduction on all the life skills
xD
it's a great 1 pointer tho
we do add corrupted for scornful for uber just to be on the safe side but that's kinda it
Like I said before, corrupted form might be viable if it said "endurance applies to ward"
I would play that
@gloomy crystalthere is a passive on reaper form that gives 100% dmg on low life
Fr??
Why is that?
100% inc is jack shit
You can play low life without cf
Cf griefs low life
U can't have any ward
It needs to say "endurance applies to ward"
One line and it's fixe
you can have ward? you just only get ward up to your life
1: do you have 6k+ life?
2: are you doing one shot uber with scornful?
no+no -> maybe dont corrupt yoself
Up to half ur life
you can have ward with CF tho
That's cheeks
but you do get ALOT of life
yea... also on the topic of ward and the new chest, i think you can't do both spec harvest and rip blood with the new chest as that will make you hit the 240% hp as ward limit way too fast
Though I do agree that it needs to apply at least some of thresh to ward
Yeah the new chest is busted for low life to the point that you don't even need other ward gen
You will be perma ward capped anyways
I can't decide if low life is good for melee lich
haven't gotten any issue so far
Low life is amazing for dot chaos bolts, unplayable for chaos bolts mana stacker, idk otherwise tho
Im finding it needs a lot of investment
For me its freezing whenever i take an item out or switch tabs. And has a risk of crashing at either
@unreal hill but if scornful blood gives you a shitload of single target dmg it might be worth
i mean it's not unplayable, you just dont reaper. which is annoying to redo your crit around AND scornful gives you basically nothing during mapping so what's the point...
ye, uber
That might be my issue im doing sustain rather than leech
honestly idk ... im gonna use it lel
using rip blood and marrow shard combo rn and its kinda good
you guys are taking scornful for damage, i'm taking scornful to not heal myself and delete my ward generation, we're not the same kekw
flay is probably better but then you dont get the free sustain
wo reliable scornful uptime no reaper form is strictly net negative damage
might try it when i get flay unlocked
now if rip blood ward gen is shit it's a different conversation lol
speaking of which somebody please confirm rip blood ward gen is OP ๐
I would but Im trying out the new chaining node
idk if it's op cause i have a few ward gens stacked on top of eachother but i'm constantly at 2k ward in combat and i just got to rooftops (level 55)
it is
well
it is if your self casting rip blood
if your just triggering it 3000 times a second its viable
I just realized you can probably do something with these two if you convert AoD to cold or phys.
thats litterally how warlock sustains
yea, this whole chat has been theorycrafting bleed lich with that since the patch notes dropped
I just noticed it, lol. I'm working on bleed lich rn
i mean that's kinda good
to bad decaying form doesnt convert with aura of decay
Except chaos bolts heal you 10 per hit
So you will not be low life
hence we take corrupted
Why not? Has this been tested?
Hence we grief
because it isnt tied to aura of decay
on uber doesnt matter you aint getting hit ๐
then the build doesn't matter if you're not getting hit on uberroth, just perfect play for 3 hours with zdps zhp
I don't see what you mean.
you would get a little benefit to bleed by the fact you convert bleed to poison so you have like 10% less bleed dmg ... but ye its better to keep aura of decay as poison because that 10% becomes 60%
Yeah but the only reason you go low life is for the defensive layer
im enjoying bleed aura of decay on my harvester using the double bleed speed axe for leveling, just got to oracles abode before work
got the axe in a1
There's just no point
26% more damage on uber is literally the point ๐
Mana stacker literally does not need leech to be full hp perma
Listen, the game is in a good spot, you can sweat as much or as little as you want.
not sure if the move is to go butchers crown or carrion of creation though
You convert the bleed to poison so you take less damage due to your int stat tanking your phys res but not yourpoison res
tbf you one tap uber at 60M DPS same as at 85M DPS lol
we just wanted to see the maximum spreadsheet warrior number
You can get rid of leech without being low life build, but low life build is still healing 10 per hit from chaos bolts, hence it's unplayable
that is fair but it would only work for dot dmg
Anyways don't matta
you aint hearing me. im strictly talking about that 30 seconds of uber you spend in there
so you would still hav e to care about your shitty phys resist from the stacking
That's fine, because AoD only does dot damage...
anyone on right now running harvest as their main skill?
the CB HP keeps you in reaper, corrupted form makes sure you get scornful too
but enemies still do phys damage to you
Yeah we agree, defenses don't matter for uber
I want to be tanky for pushing corruption
just saying tho that the decaying form passive is alot more efficient if you keep AoD as poison and use it to block every other dot
you b l o w your load, exit the instance, then unspec corrupted foreva ๐
My point, though, is that even if you get rid of leech, you can still stay at full hp, so your defensive layers should assume health build
F my life I have like ascended 15 daggers and I still have not gotten traitors
ye for generic purpose fo sho
F
but I did get axe and pale ox so I guess I cannot complain
sorry
okay then get out
axe is insane btw
200% bleed chance on harvest + 4% per int ... not 100% + 4%
Does converting cold or phys make harvest not get increased dmg from int
only dex
no, it's in addition
Or is it in addition to the ailment
addition
Mike confirmed
I was looking at phys melee, the "Undisputed" axe gives some pretty nice stats
Might be a pain to get with lp tho
any way to get a ton of attack speed to make harvest not suck? and also not be using the 2 harvest axes
I kinda want to try a meme build with the frenzy belt, but it would be like 30% increased dmg taken
Bro just play flay and proc harvest
Doubles ur hitrate
๐ it already started ๐
fair but oof
dont tempt me demon
anyone using flay ? is it good
@kind forge which weapons were u planning to use
Eulogy of blood looks REALLY good if you take rip blood
More than doubles the ward you get from rb while also giving a bunch of bleed stuff
its is good
*with axe ๐
I swapped at 62ish
*focusing on CB triggers ๐
with no axe no traitors
was just thinking about the meme bleed harvest + bleed aura of decay idea
I am wondering if it will be possible to sustain mana for melee/bleed without using executioners
Exe is so dogshit for anything that isn't necrotic chaos bolts
just dont cost mana and you can sustain mana forever
56 flat implicit and it wouldve been perfect ๐
anyone killed uber
@kind forge consider that you lose a ton of aura of decay bonuses by not using flay as well
It's just not worth not going flay imho
truuu forgot
top ladder is level 89 so you can take a guess
Quite honestly, direct cast harvest is probably more viable for melee than for ailment
While still being worse than flay
Lol
your main dmg would be harvests bleed and aura of decay is just there to make selfbleed irrelivant and to debuff enemies more for their phys res
Your main damage would be 0 dps
no it would be 1 dps uwu
Listen live ur dreams
But it will indeed be strictly worse than flay
I wish it wasn't so
Yes
ok flay good
Flay casts cb which casts harvest
yes, flay casts cb casts harvest
That's why it's better
Oh nvm
Unfortunarely
then your mana just dies
and you need dex stacking to get harvest but int stacking to get all your bleed related stats
i know its very unlikely for anyone to kill her today since he needs 2lp items maybe some streamer or someone cheesed it
Makes harvest a subskill
last season heartseeker killed him with bleed with 1 lp but it took a while
That's why I was curious about mana
100 int would give harvest 600% bleed chance uwu
I am wondering if it's possible to sustain mana for flay cb without using executioner
1000% with 200
It will make melee and ailment way better if so
Maybe with bluefeather band
That might help
lmao this is overtuned as fuuuuuuuuck
anyone else just melting everything with lich and blood rip
no chance if you wanna seriously use it
enemies would have -200 phys res and you would have 1000% bleed chance uwu
lots of dmg xD
but then you would also need dex to be able to trigger
from CB
I will be working on it but you may be right
I think bluefeather band might be the only way
Using exe griefs bleed and melee so much
4.5x18 mana from flay, 5.5x whatever rip blood costs
your mana regen at best is 30
Not 18
we aint taking less atk speed ๐
but okay lets say you take only 3 in deadly and the mana reduction
still ~70ish mana a sec?
assuming all CBs actually hit
which is what gonna f you during mapping
13 per cast, chaos refunds itself, rb is free
how wise would it be to use Marrow Shards & Rip Blood as my leveling skills?
under ideal circumstances, but in reality you flay into a pack, trigger 100 bolts, everything dies from the first 40 then you oom ๐
You would want to trigger as few chaos bolts as possible for melee
low damage might actually sustain mana better lol
Only enough to proc harves
im thinking of going into rip blood proccing marrow shards and the rest would go into heal
how do you level lich this is a struggle
Oh easily more than 1 mil man
You don't you level Warlock
The multis are huge
that's what im trying to figure out as well
wha? acolyte has one of the smoothest levelings possible, just go bleed
i did a calc for mourningfrosted melee with CBs
probably wont touch lich skills until level 30 or something
We shall see
nah lich sucks early
What do you mean by early
if someone can get good times with lich and you say it's pretty shit early, it sounds like skill issue lololol
im trying to see if rip blood proccing marrow shards and bone splinters will tank me through the campaign
Like before level 4 early
?
Once you get spirit Plague and marrow shards lich is great
@abstract summit I'm gonna build melee eventually, there is absolutely no way 1m dps is even close to the limit
And I'm pretty sure melee will be substantially more durable, possibly better for high corruption mapping
Again, we shall seee
why would its survivability differ
Attribute stacking gives you like 75% dodge chance
No joke
And gear pressure relieved from mana can be put into other stuff
But mainly the dodge stuff looks very promising
nah you are spending it all on dex
my problem with dodge was where are you getting the % dodge from
Vitality
and wher are you getting vit from ๐
seemed very little
i mean im not saying it is unviable
the 1M was vs lvl100 not dummy
I'll finish my planner later
We shall see
Don't get me wrong the single target dps is nowhere close but I think it could be viable at least
viable for sure
The only thing that sucks is mana
Primarily
I think bluefeather is mandatory if u don't use executioners
Necrotic base is so troll smh
isnt bluefeather bad
For most stuff yeah
you cut your mana in half but you also cut your mana regen in half
You get +mana onhit from some stuff
ig
it kinda is lol
It may be garbage
If eulogy wasn't on that necrotic base it would be BIS for cold melee
dive bomb from the rift beast amulet just did a casual 135k dmg in campaign
are these 2 mutually exclusive or do you get more splinters?
nothing says they're mutually exclusive
but better ask
rip blood sucks as a lvlling skill
@kind forge it's also really good for classes that have skill rotations
If you want to weave 3 0 cost skils you get some cool stuff
Like for spellblade or vk
They often do multiple cheap skills then a big one
died to rift monsters as a lvl 20
So I guess if you wanted to flay and then harvest 3x it could be good
could someone please tell what this icon is for.
minionstance
that axe has a cd on direct harvest no?
We are specifically avoiding that axe
And trying to sustain mana without it
Because the axe is terrible for melee and ailment
just have cb cast bone curse
Does bone curse give mana
basically acol has mana sustain issues
Unless your mana stacker then you just use the axe and get a borzillion mana for free
trick is not to over cast
1 flay kills a pack
just keep moving
well rip can be mana neutrak
Guys I may be cooking with this bluefeather thung
I did not have mana issues with CB flay through the 60's
is it a bug that my Flay heals me to full life every time i use it, or is there something im not understanding?
CB has healing tied to the mana refund node
i probably could just test it and respec, but it'd be odd if nobody knew, right?
@abstract summit I'm kinda stupid but the obvious solution for melee
Is to only flay once per second
3 chaos bolts at a hundred dex procs all ur harvests
Then just harvest
More effort than mana stacker but it fixes the problem
direct cast no?
no
A 33% chance of a 40% chance to get 15 mana
at least it doesnt say direct casts only like rip bloods one does
lol
Those nodes need buffed
Why is it only a tiny percent
Should be 100% for mana if u get an orb at all
thats a 10% per hit
idk probably like 3 or 4 bones get thrown
conditional prob ftw
still seems unlikely
and we are already starved for skill specs
we dont rly have room for marrow
fissure is easier for sustain lol
guess lock is still the king
nah
you mean to tell me
the ailment class
is better at ailments
๐คฏ
well lich is better defensively at ailments kek
or druid
@kind forge i dont think bluefeather is good for bleed but it is for melee
What happened to Flay Lich?
i will have to keep thinking baout bleed
How the dinosaur summon so far i got the mats to buy it but idk if it's good
mana starved
is it skill mana costs or is it skill costs
bleed good, mana stacker probably op, melee possibly garbage
Is it good
guess im effed either way
doesnt work for flay
thought you might have been able to reduce the life cost of skills with blue flame at the cost of less mana stuff
but nah
they already thought of that
sadge
hah
flay will not be the onebutton solution like fissure
no seriously though i think i was thinking about it wrong
sadge
you only need to flay once per second
for melee
harvest is actually higher damage
flay can proc all of chaos bolts' harvest
with one cast
and harvest gives mana back
int for the cb/rb procs
dex for harvest
How flay lich doing? Saw Maxroll dropped it a tier
@jagged marten idk
yee those mana costs made flay massive bait
for bleed mana is a problem
for melee we might be ok
im cooking
for mana stacker its op
max roll is wrong pretty sure mana stack flay is S tier
its clear speed is insane
man i love my abom despawning every time i click a passive tree node
Does mana regen scale with total mana?
Maxroll doesnt even have a build for flay lol, its the only one without any sort of planner linked to it last I saw
maxroll's lich guy is lizard irl
lizard irl plays hc
mana stacker is a glass cannon
so he wont play it
he will play death seal for the 800th time
because its good for hc
So look LEtools for some lich info, got it lol.
if you want to play mana stacker we got the juice here
if you want to play bleed theres some stuff on youtube
@abstract summit can i see your sheet for the melee calcs
if u dont mind
can you link the mana stacker setup you're saying you have here? I'm on chaos bolts bleed rn looking to move over to flay and need some idea for how to make this work while I hunt a dagger/axe combo
dont even know if i still have the planner for it, but it was basically standard CB specced flay, full damage specced marrow harvest reaper, i even assumed hollow lich at that points, 150 dex, mourningfrost
Any comment on the abominations arrow? Is it good?
700 flat on melee skills and still meh ๐
do definitely spec AOD instead of marrow tho
ah no the planner was still on maxroll so im afraid it's lost but it was kinda endgame
no doubt you can do better but it was clear from this thought experiment what our focus should be so then i never went back to it
that might be a bit much lol, i plan to go for maybe 400 flat and invest in pen, crit multi, etc as defensive layer
Iโve never went lich in any season , is it not possible to run death seal & flay in late game?
i am still debating on the frenzy belt
absolutely
death seal is turbo optional now
flay is a specific build
i mean
Thanks for giving me hope
I just mean having them together
yeah theres no anti synergy
I know the farther you get into end game the more you want to hone in on one specific usually
I just didnโt know if they flash for some reason or take up too many slots
Yeah this
well are u building for death wave
That was my main concern
Iโm literally just free styling it lol
Like Iโve done every season
or is death seal a defensive layer for you
Guides hurt my head
Iโve pushed 350 corrupt I think at max
Just eye balling builds that seem fun
if you're building for death wave i would not go flay because you want to be able to spam direct casted spells
for marina's wand to apply damned to urself
is this just a straight up 20% mana cost increase atm ?
Yeah sorry thatโs all lost on me LOL
I have never used the skill
I just hear it talked about a lot
And since flay is new
I always planned to try it
Which is why I was gonna try to run them together , thatโs all ๐
death seal has two components, the damage reduction defensive part, and the "wave of death" damage skill
I will make it even simpler. Jist dont spec death seal
Thanks for coming to my ted talk
Ok thanks for the details!
Iโll run it for survivability aspect to pair with flay at first
Then once it falls off
Iโll experiment with wave
can low life ward maxing lich be a thing?
is aura of decay lich a thing atm?
yes, especially for cb ailments, but warlock is probabyl better at it
doing bleed harvest reaper rn, aura of decay with the axe that doubles bleed damage is... all of my damage with aura of decay
is it hard to keep the sustain?
well, im toggling it on and off but not really, with all of the extra stack generation i max out at around 7 stacks and my sustain deals with it fine
once i get eulogy of blood it will be a nonissue since my harvests will trigger rip blood enough to keep me topped up, including the warlock dip for bleed overload rip blood bursts
max the node that gives resistance to the self damage and the smallest amount of sustain will counter it
I'm experiencing a mild flaw with my setup - any suggestions for how to get bleed to bypass ward on yourself?
I see a node I can pick up in the future, so I can wait for a while, but I was hoping there might be another workaround
hmm im not sure what build i want to play with lich
no, that node is the way. I don't know of any others
This shit looks so cool
indeed, but need big health pool to not be one shot
Yeah, I'll probably invest heavy on defenses since this is just a mapper with aura and plague
word, ty.
https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/chaos-bolts-lich-guide guess i will do this?
@abstract summit you dont even have to give up a chest slot i just realized
spell crit on ammy or relic has huge numbers
t7 spell crit on relic is up to 150
Thanks for the support!
Most flays per second?
Just trying to get as close to teleport to pack explode next pack
entirely depends on ur attack speed but you also get reap
and flay reduces reaps cooldown
200% attack speed is very doable which is like 3.5 flays per second
does chaos bolt's cthonic aurora node's extra projectiles apply when u trigger it with flay?
Sweet- if thatโs the case is there a consensus planner or direction I should go in if Iโm doing attack speed and want as many procs as possible?
I didn't realize there were THREE low-life enabling chests
new one is absolutely busted
i can only imagine how ridiculous bladedancers durability will get
now that they dont need ward ret
I actually knew about that one
But it is extremely sick as well
the shroud of obscurity
I was walking around praying for an exsang
I think either mana stacker or bleed- is there a rundown of the differences?
bleed easier to scale
mana stacker higher top end dps
and mana stacker doesnt have mana problems
but needs gear
mana stacker is a bougie build
im finishing two planners rn before i even start leveling
my build has been shifting around a lot
I got an early "all your minions go bleed crazy" chest with +39% health (thanks, nemesis) so I was stacking skeletons everywhere
im yoloing bleed harvest without a planner then gonna plan out something legit with farmed gear
Oh then Iโd like to do mana stack if thereโs a rough planner
It's not how many Flays but how many sustainable flay
for mana stacker, infinite
for anything else, like 1
probably gonna do hit raptors with a rex for that
wait no, that shield that procs vengeance for... some reason
we've got that really good 7pt node in the first tier that helps w/ mana
that node is hilarious with butchers crown
everyone besides mana stacker will want to run that flay cost reduce node
which one's that?
Am I understanding this right? I need 7% of current life drained per second for 1% more damage over time? seems pretty low.
perma frenzy, no mana regen. life and mana on hit scaling with mana regen
lmao
im gonna use that and the uber abby ammy with perma haste because temporary buffs are for scrubs and i hate being efficient
Is there a planner for mana flay?
Has anyone here tried the Leech -> Damage node? Scornful something?
5 points, so 5% DoT buff. Exsang alone gives you just about +15% DoT
oops
and yes it seems low but you can get a lot of health drain
and its multiplicative more dmg
yeah theres a lot more health drain now
don't forget about the random health drain on kill nodes
im sure you could reach 140% for 20% more dmg
looks like you can get up to 28% health drained per sec which is 4% more dot damage.
Doesn't seem like a huge bonus, but it is multiplicative instead of added.
dude between exsang, gloves affix, last steps, passive nodes, etc its gotta be a lot
exsang doesn't count as health drain iirc
i heard there is a bug on acolyte any info on that?
oh Scornful Blood just straight up doesn't work?
I'm still leeching
Oh wait unless that's life gain, damnit
Got it, thanks!

I can't do LL with bleed CB/Rip Blood, cause I'll keep getting healed unless I convert Rip Blood to Necrotic, which would ruin the bleed part
I feel like more than half the nodes I got excited about on lich I only got excited for cause I misunderstood how they worked.
indeed
rip blood isnt a huge amount of dmg anyways
most of your dps should be from cb
I'm trying to stack bleeds
if you are scaling missing health for dot for cb you kinda have to go low life
I'm trying to, I guess I gotta get rid of the life/mana gain on hit and cursed hit
with health drain +exsang, gloves affix, and last steps im sure you could get to low hp
ur flay?
or manual cast
manual cast for now, only level 42
using Shroud of Obscurity for now
I'd like to get into Flay though
you will very likely be better off going necrotic rb just for the ward
i think chaos bolts will be orders of magnitude more dmg than rb late game
I'll give it a shot
Is there a planner for mana anyways, even a rough one? I also hate aura of decay and would like to avoid it if possible lol

so if I'm trying to go LL, should I just skip the leech nodes altogether?
im at work but isnt there a node that disables the healing orbs entirely
@jagged thistle there is actually! It makes Rip Blood ping pong when it kills
if you go low life take scornful and hollow lich to get more dmg
wouldn't that solve your problem
@modest escarp you could do that if you dont need the ward from rb for sure
It would indeed, but the +ward WOULD be useful
are you gonna use architects of astral blood
I'll try the easier way first
That's the goal, yes
Although I tried to buy horns and just... lost the bones/petals and didn't get them
if ur going architects you do not need the ward from rb
you will be ward capped without it
id love to run architects but exsanguinous is most likely necessary to prevent aura+the bleed reflect on harvest from killing me with all the attack speed ill have
That's fair, there's also those bleed gloves to consider
ima keep it a buck
no idea how to scale those
well like Mad Alch's Spoon has like 90% of two converted ailments each, so that's +180% right there
but honestly I'm so clueless about this game, no one should listen to me about anything
morditas is 500% frostbite
but i think ill get more mileage out of not those and just running something else
like idk salt the wound
Dread Shade no longer giving auto crit sucks now against boss fights, not to mention the blind fury penalty of -50% crit chance yikes.
i'm pretty sure you could take no nodes, and spray everything south of empowered down with chaos bolts and be fine
How do you sustain mana on flay? -_- I got t6 attack speed on weapon, and now my mana is nonexistent...
I'm thinking about just playing with aura of decay + wandering spirits and fully investing in these, simply because these have 100% uptime compared to flay which just deletes mana...
so the Blood Tether node doesn't seem to get changed by the Necrotic conversion
blood tether is its own subskill
Nice, so I can still benefit from that
it's not worth the gold but imma do it anyways
well its damage scales on your bleed stacks so, yeah you definitely want that
Melee only, doesn't work for non-melees like AoD.
i'm harvest
AoD is supplementary
though uh, taste of blood is pretty silly with aod
bruh why does the build use warlock stuff if it's necromancer
you can take both
so confusing and now I'm out of gold to respec
AoD doesn't hit?
guess I'll quit
I never noticed in the CB tree that the Red Tundra node increases physical DoT
yeah but you can only master one
... ahuh
whatever I'm sticking with warlock
Yeah, but I don't know why you said it's silliy with aod when you're harvest.
so, if you bind a skill to a second button, you can use it while aod is active
aod applies stacks quickly enough that the juiced speed from taste of blood doesn't hurt stack count too bad
Unless you're running something like blood tether stack count doesn't matter that much?
i am
Bleed overload only needs 30.
Ah
Wait
Then isn't your damage spread apart?
You need to scale both spell, dot, and melee?
its all physical and dot, the bleeds are my damage, the tether is additional sustain to take the edge off of aod since im running reaper
oh Lich has built-in leech, unfortunate
the attacks from harvest are just hits
that also apply bleeds, speed up bleeds, once i get eulogy theyll toss out rip bloods for additional sustain
and bleeds
also rip blood is funny when you spray a bunch of them out now
death seal is gonna be your friend
@brisk elk if I've got enough points in Warlock to get that leech (2% of all damage, 2% more for cursed), should I take those nodes instead of the Lich ones, so those are only spell damage?
its generic
Use that leech for ward gen no?
Since we are taking pem lll
no
lich has a perma ll node
ur bleed right?
Yes
@modest escarp
but i don't remember what your goal is so idk if thats useful
Yah leech to health than exsang does the rest
im just thankful eulogy and exsang come from the same tl
the only warlock nodes you really should take are the more dot, bleed overload and rip blood autocast imo
maybe the int -> mana if you need mana
The curse mana regen
leech is like a tertiary dmg scaling vector for you, i would no prioritize it
Yeah that's all I have rn, that's 15 points, so I could take the generic leech without spending anytthing more. I figured 4.5% of everything was better than like 4% of spell
And int
dont reccomend it
Ok, just enough for the leech -> damage nodes then, maybe get the increased dmg (that's tripled at low life)?
is there any point in investing more than 1 point in this node if u have over 200 mana?
alt text! more mana= more bolts
And 20 mana for cb and 13 for flay
@modest escarp you will be dual wielding right
Yes
Cb should be free since you are getting 2 mana per hit vs cursed
So we are back to sq 1..dustainining flay 13 mana
@modest escarp flay chaos bolts bleed?
just CB for now but yes that's the goal
I am also vexed that I am still leeching when I cast CB/Rip blood despite removing all the leech nodes and getting the "health leech -> damage" node, and rip blood's health is converted to ward
Like has anyone here used that node and confirm it works?
(Scorned Blood)
rip blood heals, not leech
cb has a heal node as well
Yeah I removed the heal node and converted rip blood
I think it's something on my gear

^this is what i think is important
health on hit?
you may want more int later but i would start here
again i would not prioritize leech whatsoever
its a bit of extra single target dmg but its only as good as the rest of your build
Int and dex/vit ?
idk if those are worth passive points for bleed unless you need to hit red ring threshold
Flay is melee
actually i would take the three points in reaper just because
its free
dodge
like 10%
maybe
Yah
man, i'm working towards the new flicker/flay build...was not expecting to enjoy this bleed righteous fire/aura of decay instead
Passives aren't that cut and dried like before

^bleed passive tree
Is it any useful now for heavy pet builds?๐ค
It's tough going
If you take the healing+ nodes on the left side of Rip Blood, will those benefits convert to Ward as well?
yes
ok now I just need to find what's healing me on kill ๐ญ
what's the temporal sanctum levelling skip path? when do i go to monoliths
Chalice?
Since you're bleed.
No, using the Physical Spell relic from campaign
Since no julra key
i did it last cycle start, i just dont remember when i did it
i farmed for julra key in monos
That flower?
Yes
Hmmm, nothing comes to mind so far then
i just noticed they buffed AoD
Yah working towards the ebola aura
bleed has 75% added effectiveness when the reveal had 30 ... and frostbite has 100% when it used to have 40%

Oh goddamnit Blood Tether is converted the Damned %
Well u converted rb to nec
So it's cales to damn
Yeah I'm not confused by the concept, I'm just dismayed I missed it before
It does say on the description
alt text but yeah
Only thong that doesn't convertt is mana arc in mana strike
Sadge
Cold mana strike and you still shoot lightning
Abomination devours only standard skeletons. Shouldnโt it kill and consume any type of summons used to summon him?
I didn't notice the "CB refreshes curses on hit" also heals on hit per curse.
(I also loved that node, very convenient)
Thank you very much for your help
It eats only the ones from summon skeleton and summon skeletal mage by default
Here! I used golems and mages to summon it, but can easily summon them back and have them alongside with the abom๐ค
It now doesnโt consume most non-skill based minions
It doesnโt consume death knights afterwards
Nor golems
Ok, it consumes golems
But yet not the death knights
what is the node for bone golem absorbing archer?
@brisk elk Putting 3 points in Hollow Lich for like 6% increased damage seems like a huge waste
First lineage completed, decent rolls too!
Damn, very nice
is there a reason why Flay doesn't work with left click binding?
Flay rocks
Last season I played Wrongwarp Warlock, anything similar thats looking good this season?
No...flay slays not catching strays
lol
Does it mean it applies more dots on itself?
how do I figure out what my dps is for it though?
Dummies?
Dummies.
Sike
Damn ninjaed
in arena area right?
Yes
what damage type did everyone go for flay?
Does abom consume standard mages if used for its summon? Can someone test?
you mean regular Skeletal Mages? yes, it does
I was pretty sure, but I went ahead and summoned some to check
Can you try same but with death knights?
I feel like itโs a bug
sorry, I don't have mages speced
what is node that alow bone golem to absorb archer skeleton and get their properties?
None? If nothing has been changed in this season
None. Thatโs abom.
thank you
so I just discovered if you continuously give attack orders, the abom wont eat resummoned minions for HP. I don't know if this is actually useful for anything but has been fun for my zoo vibe building
is there any leveling builds for flay lich rn ?
The moment your max minion count changes abom sucides
โ๏ธ๐ฟ
prob not because you need 35 points into lich to get flay
Any good leveling guide for lich?
Level up as necro respec to lich?
I already spec into lich ๐ญ forgot can respec
I followed an old-ish lich leveling guide from max roll, just before the patch and felt like it was pretty smooth. if anything, it should be better post-patch
warlock might be better, but I feel like people severely overstate how hard it is to level as lich
warlock you can have trash blues and level fast asf
Spirit plague is a pretty easy leveling skill
thoughts on flay so far?
i feel like most people havent even gotten to play flay yet lol
need alot of gear and levels
It was pertty mid before rip blood changes tbf
Now itโs a bit more closer
Playing attack bleed build, lvl48. I have the strong impression Flay is highly gear dependant and we should stick to Harvest + Bone Curse (Signet of Agony) until at least being done with early Monos
Anyone having a similar experience?
how to play abomination? you summon bunch of minion then summon it and dont worry to feed it again or you have to feed it every time?
yeah thats kinda where im at, flay is too hard to change to. rip blood and bone curse is owning though
you pretty much don't have to feed it anymore. I'm trying to get the set shield with resummon chance to see how it works with 100% resummon skeletons, but honestly, it's probably completely unnecessary
For Abom, I'm messing around with it now.
Skeleton resummon chance is an easy way to hit 20 skeletons of your type. Need to have a minimum number to give the skellies chance to respawn
Dread shade + Infernal shade
You only need to do that everytime you die
(or if IT dies, but it pretty much just doesn't)
I'm experimenting with ward on death volatile zombies, mana on death skeletons, but if the abom kills less than all of the skeletons at once, he starts spending more and more time consuming and less attacking
Dunno which is better between the 2000% recurve arrow and stomp for single target or clear
My man is trying to solve the problem wraithlord couldnโt
I'm liking the recurve arrow and double strike. I've been running all 3 summon skeleton types, but I think Rogue isn't pulling it's weight and was going to drop it.
idk if this is worth the micro, but I found if you input an attack command, the abom wont eat until after he executes it
so if you spam attack commands he never eats
I didnt make a minonmancer to press buttons
yeah it truly flies in the face of minion builds
I wish he would only eat when he's below full health.
But then there would be no downside
