it was 5 second

and death waves were like twice bigger

lost gale
#

was 5 now 10 I think

#

also I want to say the base duration was 4 before now 3

#

reaper form cd is longer as well

lost gale
#

but it didn't give you 90% damage smearing before

dusty onyx
#

for more down time

lost gale
#

which is a really fantastic defensive layer

swift forge
#

And that's unspecked

hollow flint
#

thats actually my current build. The only reason I dont use the frenzy belt currently is because its bugged and doesnt scale frenzy with strength at all and its stats dont scale with frenzy either

how is the damage compared to mana stack c-bolt flay?

any of my acolyte mates want to help me with how to finish act 10... i think its bugged. i did the observers prison sequence, spoke to eterra, touched the epoch, it teleports me to end of time and then nothing happens

heres the build as it is now for reference

little wigeon
#

null portent is ok, decent stat stick with some DR if overcapping but not really needed imo

#

can also swap death seal for marrow shards and remove that primordial dagger for a T8 nec spell or the primordial relic to boost your mana idols

median pebble
#

doesnt null portent outperform woven flesh at high investment?

pearl snow
#

Yeah especially if you are avoid crit or reduction capped eslewhere

little wigeon
#

woven flesh is mainly for the crit avoid so you dont need to worry about it

#

so yea if you have that covered then yea if aiming for defense

median pebble
#

oh yeah woven is great early no argument there

little wigeon
#

i dont use woven, i use valeroot and am fine in 1k corr. so u dont need a heavily defensive chest

#

i opted for a T7 armor/red crits on boots instead of movement spd

half kelp
#

if the marrow interaction is bugged i dont want to run that tbh

mighty echo

hello, does anyone know if the node "Dead Weight" in Marrow Shards is additive or multiplicative? it says more damage but doesn't mention multiplicative like on other nodes

@autumn bough Hey again sorry for the disturb! 😅 Can i ask you, what about the abomination absorb order for the death in the family requirement? The minion cap is 20 right? Someone say that if you absorb more than 20 cause of the skeleton rautomatic respawn, reached the cap the first absorbed minions (so maybe also the golem, the wraith and the mage) woulb be expelled from the 20 cap, and someone says the opposite (reached the cap, no more minions eaten counts)...

#

Sorry for the long and bad wrote question! english is not my primary language

autumn bough
#

i summon all possible minions 9 skeles, 3 mages, 6 wraiths , golem absorbs all and no issues

hard hearth
#

the absorbing order do not count for the death in the family node?

#

since it say 20 is the max absorbable minions

autumn bough
#

20 is only for health/dmg bonus not for nodes on the tree

brisk elk
#

do mana costs round if you have %less mana cost

or shared right?

like shared fire damage

versed fox
#

I'll have to record it tomorrow and share. It's very bizarre. Every few seconds my Regen and resistances dip (there's the node that gives you +% resists in aura and +% health Regen when it deactivates)

?

Oh

worthy arch
pearl snow

Id assume so

worthy arch
#

Im assuming they are the same level since they are technically the same tree

pearl snow
#

Yeah so worst case you manipulate it

old hull
#

Or wraithlord might be 0 levels because it's not a wraith, idk

worthy arch
#

Maybe I'll use it and see if the stacks show up like shades

obtuse quest
#

Either it only affects normal wraiths, or the alt “nearest minion” condition is applied

#

So you’re going to have fun manipulating that

worthy arch
#

Oof. Thats annoying.

obtuse quest
#

It’s the same thing anyone running multi minions setups would face using this. (Note that I said multi minion, not multi minion types)

#

If you run two golem with this for example then only the nearest golem will apply

worthy arch
#

Yeah so Google just told me that wraithlord doesn't have a level, wraiths do.

That thing is mostly built for companions yeah

Following the Max roll harvest flay build.
Just want to ask for anyone else following this, is it supposed to be this squishy? I can't take a hit without dying.

#

is death in the family abom node worth it? From what I read online, it means like fire/cold/blood/bone golem, rogue/warrior/archer skelly, etc, right?

lost gale
#

before 1.3 it was beneficial to make abomination from all kinds of differently named minions like you read online, now they're just grouped up under the skill that summons them

Is there any reason to use 2h for melee lich over dual wield now?

Currently playing a chaos bolt caster lich because I was too frail going melee before I get an exsanguinus.. But I love 2h weapons way too much, although when I'm looking around it seems like dual wield just gives more everything, even more damage taken yourself 👀

#

Also wondering if there's any way to make flay viable as main skill, mainly thinking of the mana cost, without the new legendary axe?

#

you can keep channeling abomination indefinitely and they keep reviving

#

you start with 8 or 9 depending on your tree and 80% of them revive after 3s

#

you want your abom to eat one golem one wraith one mage 20 warriors really

#

unless you're specifically building for stomp

#

or eternal arrow

drowsy ocean
#

i plan on massive area scale melee basic attack

#

i saw video where area is scaled massively he hits the whole pack of mobs in front of him

#

and you mean 17 warriors, one golem, one wraith, and mage?

i am necro mancer but i use 2 wraiths 3 mages 1 golem , no abom as it keeps eating my minions even if it does not need it , i got a nemesis item what gives minion +146 regen , so with t-rex and crab ( replacing dodge) and firezombies

obtuse quest
muted vine
#

it should do it to heal up i just wanted a uber tank, but golem and t-rex do that just fine , fire aura and wraiths/ mages turned to cold so ,,cc and burning and t-rex ripping it apart

#

but i found lately alot of +40% spell damage if hp is low , idols .. and i got that acolyte armour so yes i can use it , but is the primeordeal version good enough to replace my t-rex ?

#

currently my minions do all my killing , wondering if a spell acolyte clears as fast . even debating if i should try a primelist swarmer . to see how that plays . if its basicly the same as an army but then what stings ,, hmm

I'm playing maxroll abom

and this random pixel hits me for 3K dmg thru max resists

he;s overuned and I'm out, MG can just buy his drops off bazaar and CoF can suck thumbs

You... do build more defenses other than resistances right?

I got 5000 ward

and 34% dmg moved to abom

That's... not that much?

and he one shots me

5k ward is kinda mid numbers.

dusty onyx

I hope they fix wildfire embers

#

They aren't nerfing uber anytime soon. Especially with most builds killing him really quick.

It's really just a fight that you, as a player, have to be able to dodge the attacks that one shot you.

brazen wigeon
#

I hate this dark souls approach to modern arpgs

#

that's why I still play grim dawn

topaz knot
#

I kinda like having a boss that you can't just out gear and stand still while you kill them

#

I think having to do a few mechanics is fine

#

I would hardly call it "darksouls" for having to dodge a few attacks

brazen wigeon
#

maybe I will try flay lich have 1 at 85 but didn't get to finish it

#

got most items required but mana slam for woven flesh

Abom is easier than flay at killing uber

You're tankier and your minuon takes some aggro

advise me then

topaz knot
#

Or you're dying to attacks that will one shot any build

#

But let's take a look first

brazen wigeon
#

most of it is random blue orbs or some stupid ground DoT

topaz knot
#

Ur health is very low

#

Should have atleast 3k to stabilize into more ward. I think you get about 7k ward at 4k health.

#

Should put hybrid health on ur belt and flat health on ur necklace

brazen wigeon
#

coudln't find hybrid hp for belt but I found T7 minion damage

topaz knot
#

Minion dmg isn't really that much of a dmg boost

#

Esp if you're main issue is dying

brazen wigeon
#

tho vids I'v seen flay lich seem to kill ubby faster than abom

craggy flicker
#

yeah well geared flay destroys ubby but

#

abom if ur tanky enough is kinda just a dodge the worst stuff fest haha

topaz knot
#

Well geared flay will kill uber faster. But abom will kill uber with worse gear

#

Flay is also harder to pilot

#

Because to do damage you teleport to the boss. If you mistime it you're dead

craggy flicker
#

yeah thats how im dying rn

brazen wigeon
#

flay at least doesn't have to setup abom everytime it dies

#

annoying as hell

craggy flicker
#

that i can agree with

topaz knot
#

That is true. But you don't get time to rest during mapping either. You're constantly dying if ur not leeching health

brazen wigeon
#

I had to build abom from scratch but for maxroll flay lich I got most items in stash I just need to slam all T7s

craggy flicker
#

i think to get the damage for ubberoth easier then abomu need 2lps for body and helmet

topaz knot
#

Whichever qol you prefer, i'd do. 90% of ur time is mapping, not killing uber. If u wanna swap back to abom later u always can

brazen wigeon
#

I got 3 chars out of which 1 is abom that I mage in explicit way to kill ubby only to fail miserably and entire week wasted

topaz knot
#

Not wasted. Just put abom gear on the lootfilter and swap to lich for some gold. And farm up abom gear. Once you have hybrid health belt, better gloves, health amulet, prob a better helmet, you can go back to abom to kill uber

#

Or if you really like flay, you can just stick with flay

brazen wigeon
#

what better gloves...

#

they are complte

topaz knot
#

Void gloves would be more tanky for you

brazen wigeon
#

maxroll say these tho

topaz knot
brazen wigeon
#

and void wouldn't work for me

#

I'm always on low life

topaz knot
#

Oh ur low life that makes sense

brazen wigeon
#

also I'm missing 11 lvls that also might be a deal

topaz knot
#

I think ur missing 1.5k hp tbh

brazen wigeon
#

thing is I'm basicaly "finished" with monos and blessings on abom...

topaz knot
#

I think u should swap back to an exlated helm with t7 % health, health on amulet, and hybrid health on belt, and itll get you enough hp

brazen wigeon
#

back? I'v never had exhalted helm on that xD

#

I got 2 LP somewhere and I have to drop hp helmet

topaz knot
#

Oh you are suppose to use an exalted until you get a really really good slam on the helmet

brazen wigeon
#

tho abom's crit is already pretty bad

topaz knot
#

That's why ur suppose to stick w an exalted

#

To have both crit, % health and minion cdr from the implicit

#

And not swap to the glacial helm until you have % health and crit on it, at the least

obtuse quest
half kelp
#

so hypothetically if you go mana flay lich with marrow shards

#

do you go physical or necrotic

coral current

#

Your unique relic is only online at 70, so you don't have a auto spread aura until then, you'll basically be playing a generic fissure into chaos bolt ailment build.

for harvest lich, which primordial one would work better?
i have 49% attack speed dagger ready for slam. would that outweight the 10% lost in resist pen?

also, I've been using the crit multi traitors tongue, and had a slam, which failed to get shred and got chill instead. is 60 flat dmg > 100% crit mult?

tight hawk
#

Do you recommend the Max roll build for harvest flay or is there one on another site that's recommended?

orchid heron
#

when would you want to swap from Flay Harvest to Flay Mana variant? I'm on Flay Harvest, comfortable in the mid 500 corruption despite needing some improvements still

is it more for uber aberroth?

it feels like it's doing nothing for me and then I noticed that the level requirement was 9...

#

even the minion it summons seems like it's doing like no damage

Its unfortunate, I like the armor but it reduces kill speed a lot.

what mana numbers do people have that have done uberroth

Right he eats it...

damned from Dread Shade? and Ignite from flame wraiths?

I think with over 2k base should be able to phase faster. But I've missed double mana slams in helm and chest alot. It's pain lol also less than half my idols are double mana. Also pain

and I would trade Bone Curse for either Chaos Bolt or Rip Blood
and Spec into the stuff that buffs your minions cast speed/damage

topaz marlin
#

I just thought of picking up some chill for bit of CC, since Bone Curse helps to slow too

#

since slow = reduced dmg right

craggy flax
#

slow is just move speed

#

Chill is attack/move/cast speed

topaz marlin
#

so slow + chill = reduced dmg output from mobs? lul

half kelp
#

i need to get something better for this slot pronto

#

i have this but i really need a solid double t7

#

and i think theres better options still

topaz marlin

also iirc I was told Armour shred is no-no for DoT?

my thought process was just to CC mobs while minions mow them down

although you'll have to work out the itemisation

I'll get there.. eventually

so my wraiths will do poison, damned, ignite?

oh no it's bleed instead of poison

Has anyone used Last Steps of the Living for lowlife?

It seems pretty nice, but I'm not sure how big of a deal the chill is

another question : why not Lone Watcher from Dread Shade?

lost gale
#

so once the poison kills it just resummon it, reapply shade and move on

#

and you'll easily have enough minions to get full value from the scaled AOE with aberrant call wraiths

topaz marlin
#

kek I know I'm being a PITA rn but playing controller, trying to reduce buttons pressed AHAH

lost gale
#

and this wya you can just cast dread shade on wraiths too

#

the poison takes a while to kill them

topaz marlin
#

but yeah I get the logic, I'll do that

lost gale
#

you're not restricted to one shade

topaz marlin
#

the staff kills them pree fast actually

lost gale
#

well you didn't have the leech in the necro passive tree before

#

if they leech off all damage

#

they should survive a while I think

topaz marlin

hmm sounds good I'll give it a go

#

thanks!!

lost gale
#

lmk how it goes

#

on controller casting chaos bolt on your minions will probably be terrible actually

topaz marlin
#

yeps

lost gale

idk, maybe rip blood with the minion targeting would work better for you

#

the zombie detonations are very strong though

topaz marlin

no matter, I'll try out a few monos see how it goes

#

tryna get a better Evolution End too

lost gale
#

zombies/wraiths is an unusual combo

topaz marlin
#

well I found that it worked pree well for me, when wraiths die, zombos appear, and even if they get killed by WL they explode

Is tyrants skull abomination strong or did they nerf it ?

topaz marlin
#

also I didn't want to go the usual big damage crit so I tried DoT

minor scaffold

it might be a bad build, but for fun i'll try a flay + harvest + stygian coal beam lich. maybe chaos bolts as well to be procced through flay and procc more harvests, with the necrotic melee + necrotic spell affix

lost gale

you'd need to work out how to deal with that

@charred ridge just saw the vid

Good stuff

#

I ended up switching to COF because trade is so dead

#

🙁

#

So I'm way behind on gearing

#

I should've expected it with poe2 and all

mental quest
#

Some recommended guide for acolyte class for begginers?

charred ridge
#

the grass is always greener on the other side

brisk elk
#

Dude conceptually I really like trade

#

But it's so dead

charred ridge
#

what items did you find you werent able to purchase?

brisk elk
#

Not enough people

#

T7 gear

#

Champion affix stuff

#

Lps

#

Everything tbu

#

And the idols are the worst

charred ridge
#

i think you've always had to do exalted items yourself tho

#

at least 77

#

but ye idols are tough and some uniques

#

but uniques were normally bad due to gold cap in 1.2

#

i figured it'd be better now

brisk elk
charred ridge
#

i've been told CoF bonuses dont apply to imprints tho

#

so idk im mitigated on that

brisk elk
#

Well specifically I wanted some champion primordials

#

Which you get from that one woven

#

So it's all self drop exalts

#

So cof really does matter

charred ridge
#

ya i think ppl just dont put these things in their filter

brisk elk
#

I wanted to build electrify smite without the idols using a primordial storm champion affix

#

T7 champion affixes don't exist man I'm convinced

#

So I gotta go with t8

charred ridge
#

i think it's just not in ppl's filters tbh

brisk elk
#

But yeah I'm gonna keep one character as MG

#

Its weird, if you leave a guild you lose all your rep across all chars, but you can keep chars as MG or COF and get rep for both

charred ridge
#

ya

brisk elk
#

Idk why it works that way

charred ridge
#

to prevent faction swapping on a single char

brisk elk
#

But if I keep one MG char I can use the gold

#

From the cof chars

#

So it's fine ig

#

I can also farm primordial mats on a COF char and then buy the items to sell on a MG char

#

so thats nice

charred ridge
#

there's a lot of stuff you can do to benefit from both factions lol

#

without gold cap inflation, lightness arbor is not one of them, but that's for the best

can all uniques have LP? or some uniques like Orchirian Petals only become legendary when added to Nemesis?

good of them to make sure that was fixed rather than making sure corrupted form works Gregory

one of the least important bugs too

and all the good idols were like "xxxxx at low health"

so none of his shit worked

lmao

lost gale

🙁

#

yeah the thing with corrupted form is that it's something they advertised the lich rework with, core part of the 1.3 promotional materials and it should be dead easy to test whether it does the thing it says it does

topaz marlin

in today's new bug to fix goes to....

lost gale
#

if corrupted form not actually making you count as low-life is slipping through it suggests a staggering level of carelessness wrt ensuring things actually do the thing they say they do

dont quote me on that but i dont think they do any online testing? and some stuff randomly breaks on online vs offline

so far so good, think I need to tweak my gears

not sure if the chaos bolts are actually buffing my minions tho, in all the visual chaos I can't tell lmao

lost gale
#

if they're buffed they have a kind of spiky glow around their feet for skellies

#

what I don't know is how the buff & explosion works with zombies, whether they get buffed before they explode or just explode without ever getting the ailment chance

topaz marlin
#

but if anything I'm applying helluva lots of DoTs

but these passives

#

they're bad

#

don't take them

they allow me to tank timeshattering slam aka the big slam at the beginning

why would you want to do that

hasty monolith
#

i did mange to get 100 mana by swaping to less defensive Nihilis

charred ridge
#

i mean you have two options you either go zhp and get enough dmg to kill it in <1 minute, that requires like, a tiny bit of mechanical skills but honestly it's just really easy if you have the dmg idk

#

or you can try to build tankiness and play a longer fight but idk how long that would actually take

#

or if it even requires less gear

charred ridge
#

until every single one of your idols is double mana

#

and slam mana% on helmet and body armor instead of flat mana

#

if you want to go tankiness route slam hp% on body armor

hasty monolith
charred ridge
#

yes

hasty monolith
#

aaah thanks!

#

thanks for taking your time to reply to my somewhat stupid questions haha

charred ridge
#

i mean there's footage of my first few kills on youtube

#

you can see the gear i had then

#

it was like idk

#

1950 mana before axe buffs

#

on a zhp version anyway

#

you can probably still facetank a lot on budget if you prefer that i just dont know how long it'll take you to kill

#

you're also not endurance capped

#

so you'll need endurance idols

#

it's a suffix on 1x1

hasty monolith
#

Ill get started on that and getting more mana

charred ridge
#

54% to 60% endurance is like 15% more hp

hasty monolith
#

I could swap the flat armor to endurence, but its prolly better to get it on idols

charred ridge
#

dont swap the blessing ye just run idol prophecies

#

with a proper filter

atm i have thoose 2 in the weaver idols in the filter

# charred ridge how much favor do you have?

I think you can make a slight optimization to damage by picking up phys shred in blessings, and swapping cb and flay to phys and pick up the 10% global phys pen node in reaper form. I know we do not have much physical flat but you can scale the base and adaptive dmg with phys more and phys gets more dmg with armor shred aswell.

#

Maximizes the phys from marrow shards aswell.

charred ridge
#

the issue is that it's the necrotic side of CB being converted to phys

molten bramble
#

We still get debuff from harvest

charred ridge
#

so for a complete zhp setup then?

#

essentially you want a small damage boost from armor shred

molten bramble
#

I am currently using it in my normal set up but I am giving up armor for it.

charred ridge
#

and reaper form pen

molten bramble
#

But my set up I have armor/crit reduc rolls on gear so armor is in a good spot.

charred ridge
#

i think that's good tech to push dps on zhp, doesnt sound very much worth it for normal play (the blessing swap part)

#

also i feel silly about the phys pen in reaper form cause i completely forgot about that node i couldve used that to one shot uber more easily

molten bramble
#

From my anecdotal experience the dmg gains feels like 10% but not sure. I am sure most of it is coming from scaling bugged phys marrow shards.

charred ridge
#

yeah most likely

#

for normal play i dont feel like damage is a concern at all since everything dies in one tap and bosses also last a whole 2 seconds

#

but if you give up defense and you're still not dying it's not like that matters either

#

where do you get damned from if you convert CB to bleed?

molten bramble
#

Harvest and warlock passive

charred ridge
#

ah ok

#

im too lazy to math the CB dmg increase

#

but yeah it'd be a small dmg increase probably even without the blessing

molten bramble
#

Its base 10 with like another 10 to 15 of adaptive

#

Half 13 lich passive Half 26 traitors tongue so 19ish

charred ridge
#

6 from TT 7.5 from passive 10 from oblation

#

6.5 from passive

#

i cant divide by 2

molten bramble
#

Lol me too

charred ridge
#

it's like gaining 4 flat

#

compared to necro bolts

#

1% dmg gain

molten bramble
#

Yeah I expected as much. Most of the dmg was from juicing marrow shards. But extra dmg on cb not terrible.

#

Are you calcing thr extra like 25% more from armor shred?

charred ridge
#

yeah

molten bramble
#

If only we could have physical hybrid roll on dagger/axe.

charred ridge
#

lol

#

i'd rather just them fix marrow shards

#

then we don't need it

#

the highest dps output once (if) they bugfix is to slam melee cold and go cold AoD for pen

molten bramble
#

Yeah sounds strong

this is the highest dps setup that i found

89.4mil dps vs 86mil dps for a classic reliquary nest setup

but it relies on having a well rolled SW, and 2lp on either amulet or relic for the crit chance affix

so not exactly super realistic

#

it gets "crit immune" (if you high roll avoidance on the amulet) so there's that 🤷‍♀️

the damage should be pretty good at that point

just grind more favor

also try to get a t7 mana% slam on some kind of chest

valeroot for damage or pale ox/core of the mountain for tankiness

I only have 1lp core...so I can again only get T7 mana in there...

2lp valeroot is extremely easy to get

i mean idk what you leaguestarted with or why this feels disappointing to you

I started with abomination necro and played frogs for a bit...frogs are good

i league started with flay (different gear from maxroll but essentially the same build) and uber was down on day 3 it felt smooth as soon as i swapped to it

not uber worthy good but good clear and easy play

right now on frogs I can do 900C easy

Frogs the AI is tuned in and everything is very fast

i dont think the maxroll planner is the best way to play flay tbh

How do you not just flay to each pack and explode everything. I've been running 1k just fine and it's fast af

scarlet flicker
#

packs are fine..champions/cemetry...you have to get in melee range and champions don't explode in one hit...not right now in my gear

and then you die

Death seal also exists. Well I guess your mana is on the low end

scarlet flicker

I do use deathseal on champions...

the rune dagger is only good if you're crit capped, but to get crit capped (without sacrificing important affixes) you need a 2lp shattered worlds with 5% crit so

#

not exactly budget

#

i'd just get a traitor's tongue and the primordial relic (reliquary nest)

scarlet flicker
#

ok so I need to switch to the traitor's tongue version? I do have a 2lp traitor's

charred ridge
#

slap on a brewmaster's belt (1lp health% is fine)

do you have a planner @charred ridge ?

this is my character

#

well

scarlet flicker
#

I know my armor is low endurance is not capped and crit is also not capped...it is just that what I have should be enought for 500C and it's not...so I gotta switch

little wigeon
#

Well prim relic also gives endurance another bonus for going that route lol

#

With brew belt you can swap your blessings to armor

charred ridge
#

ye you endurance cap from relic + brew belt (and a couple 1x1 idols, there's an endurance suffix)

#

and idk it's just impossible to die

#

slam hp% on belt & body armor

#

and your endurance threshold is basically equivalent to 8k hp

little wigeon
#

I run around with 1200 hp corrupted form lol but all my hp has endurance DR

charred ridge
#

well more like 5k hp without immortal vise

charred ridge
#

check this showcase & planner in description to get an idea of the gear i had

#

3 days into the league

#

and if you look at more recent videos there are more tanky setups

little wigeon
charred ridge
#

just mix and match a bit of whatever you need from each planner

scarlet flicker
#

you manually cast chaos bolts?

charred ridge
#

you dont need to

#

im just optimizing

scarlet flicker
#

k

charred ridge
#

and if you need more boss damage at the cost of defense swap rings to stardials

#

and most importantly body armor to anything (preferably valeroot) with mana% and +mana

#

the mana% affixes from rogue/sentinel are really big dmg they're quite important to slam, they get priority over flat mana as well

scarlet flicker
#

do I need to level a sentinel/rogue just to farm those armors?

charred ridge
#

no

#

just grab any sentinel/rogue gear off the ground and craft them

#

it just needs to be on your filter

scarlet flicker
#

ah...so it will allow me to craft it on acolyte helms/chest

#

because I tried strength on acolyte helm and it wouldn't allow me

charred ridge
#

you need to slam

#

put it on unique gear

scarlet flicker
#

yeah...but that much sentinel/rogue armor with T7 isn't gonna drop for my acolyte is it?

charred ridge
#

might take a while to get exactly t7 mana% although it's not incredibly rare

#

but what you can do is filter for any t7 affix on rogue/sentinel gear, and use havocs

scarlet flicker
#

hmm

charred ridge
#

either one of those is fine

scarlet flicker
#

I think I have 151mana/15%increased mana sentinel armor

charred ridge
#

also if you imprint rogue/sent gear it will drop rogue/sent gear

scarlet flicker
#

so I can imprint that and hope better rolls

charred ridge
#

craft a t7 mana% t5 flat mana and slam it on 2lp valeroot

#

should be easy enough to get

scarlet flicker

wat happens with "Increased Minion Damage" on Julra's Obessesion lmao

#

your minions minions have increased damage

obtuse quest

#

Well, not outside primalist anyway, since a few of their minions have minions for some reason

topaz marlin
#

hahah alright

carmine harbor
half relic
#

leveled as minions and swapped to abom at 50 and its ass. Probably need to be higher level before i start that. But dont think ill like abom

pearl snow
half relic
#

is there any other minion build besides abom that is decent?

#

\

pearl snow
#

Wraithlord

#

I think skele rogues is still good

charred ridge
#

have you tried uber at all yet?

#

your endurance is way overcapped swap the blessing for armor

#

and use two 1x1 idols with +2% endurance to cap it

carmine harbor
#

yeah tried a few times. getting to first harby, but i dont think im doing enough dmg. because too much ground stuff starts over lapping and i cant leech through it.

#

i see people with similar gear bringing him down to 65%ish after first expanding wave but im barely getting to the shield at that time.

charred ridge
#

your passives are bad change them to that

#

1 point in accursed feast instead of 5 points in ageless ascetic is fine tbh for uber

#

i don't like the reduced leech duration for maps

#

you can do this for uber if you prefer it's fine too

carmine harbor
#

ill change them now and give it a go

charred ridge
#

or take both leech nodes if you plan to stand in puddles (not exactly recommended but hey)

charred ridge
#

probably 1800-2000

carmine harbor
#

haha i try not to but im not perfect at the fight 🙂

charred ridge
#

your mana is on the low end and you're using a more defensive gear setup

#

so your dmg will suck

carmine harbor
#

would it be worth changing the flat mana on helm to %?

charred ridge
#

gotta slam that nihilis, preferably with 12% mana (dont need +2 all skills), and more idol prophecies

charred ridge
#

get a frailty suffix on your ignite idol that'll help with tankiness

carmine harbor
#

ok so to summarise for now:
1.change passive tree
2. get a new nihilis slam with flat mana
3. change to armour blessing and get 2 endurance suffix idols.
4. get a new seed and slam % mana.
5. idol prophecies 🙂

charred ridge
#

good thing i typed idol prophecies in bold

#

you're missing like 150 mana just from idols

#

and im not talking like perfectly rolled idols

#

just average idols

carmine harbor
#

haha my bad 🙂 i finally got my red rings so i can start the prophecies now

charred ridge
#

i did my idols before red rings but that's fine too

carmine harbor
#

thats prob where i went wrong honestly

charred ridge
#

when i got close to CoF rank 12 i just immediately spent 500k favor on idols

i killed uber with that gear

carmine harbor
#

yeah nice i got about 400k saved up from today now. took me millions to get these red rings lol

charred ridge
#

i had a flat mana slam on helmet so dont stress the mana%

#

it's your last prio

#

my idols were not complete but almost complete

#

i guess do this instead of the flat dmg if you're going for tankiness more than dmg

#

oh ye you also have no armor shred that's extremely important

#

get rid of those gloves

#

reslam your traitor's tongue even at 1lp (since yours is bricked anyway it's essentially a 1lp)

#

get it with 13% crit

#

you don't need those gloves, get exalted gloves with t7 mana and armor shred

#

any tier of armor shred will do even t1

#

you can use forging potential instead to get melee aspd on the prefix or hybrid health on the suffix

carmine harbor
#

sorry not ignoring you mate just trying to roll this gear lol

#

ty for all your advice

#

im out of gloves to try and hit so i got to go farm again. do you have a specific method to farm slam exalts or just send maps with imprints?

charred ridge
#

idk depends if u have havocs or not lol

carmine harbor
#

down to 10 havocs lol.

charred ridge
#

just filter for mana affixes and play normally

#

t6 is fine too

carmine harbor
#

ill imprint my 766 ones and do some maps get a few to roll

charred ridge
#

you'll have an easier time crafting 7xxx

#

triple exalted items are not exactly easy to craft

sick pagoda
#

@charred ridge isn't 1 phantom grasp ring with 8% mana better then 1 julra ring?

#
  • for damage you can ofcourse use one julra ring

I put that with 4 LP in the turtle and got 0 LP back, didn't thank would be possible 😄

why would you put a 4lp in the turtle?

median pebble
#

are there any new techs/builds (apart from popular flay builds) found for lich/warlock this season?

coarse hinge
#

there are some bugs that can be used, if that counts

median pebble
#

if the bugs is interesting or the resulting build, yeah sure I would love to hear about it

lost gale
coarse hinge
lost gale
#

oh yeah, for some reason the flay boots when they trigger rip blood along with marrow shards are causing marrow shards to benefit from the % more spell damage per max mana bonus twice

median pebble
#

yeah I know about this, but it is mostly used by flay builds

lost gale
#

some of that is totally usable without flay tho

coarse hinge
#

You can play it with rip blood

lost gale
#

just rip blood triggering marrow shards and having summon skeletons reviving can do shitloads of damage

#

also it's necro not lich or warlock but Lich's Scorn and cold Aura of Decay combine to let you get 2% cold pen per intelligence

#

along with tons of flat cold from Lich's Scorn potentially

#

underexplored rn but lots of potential I think

median pebble
#

true, has anyone tested dot builds using AoD and flay with that flay node that increased AoD ailment frequency?

lost gale
#

not that I know of, seems a bit underwhelming given the mana issues the build is likely to have spamming flay and speccing the AoD ailment frequency stuff

median pebble
#

maybe you could use that new primordial ring that reduces mana cost?

lost gale
#

I don't think that works for the AoD cost

#

it says it "drains mana each second" rather than describing it as a cost

#

that ring doesn't work for stuff that "consumes" mana, idk if drain is the per-second version of consume or if it's implemented as a cost

#

also that ring only reduces the cost of spells and AoD isn't a spell in the first place

median pebble
#

makes sense, I wonder if there is a way to sustain mana, but cant think of a way that would let you spam flay and regain mana

lost gale
#

seems like a convoluted zDPS build

#

at least if you make it all phys/bleed then it's easy to have flay proliferate ailments

#

also you have to build crit to have flay trigger mshards reliably which is obviously not trivial or really what you want to be doing with your affixes for an ailment build

median pebble
#

I believe there is a bleed flay build but if I remember correctly it does not try to force AoD to be the main source of bleed

#

it is a bit hard to make Dot lich

#

though some stupid minion loop with flay skeletons and marrow shards might be fun to play

versed fox
#

I'm running a bleed flay build. It's homemade though, and I'm still working towards my last few harbingers

The content's easy I just haven't had the playtime to get it done

#

For the MaxRoll harvast flay lich build, is there a better option for a relic? It looks like we don't benefit from a lot of the twisted heart stats?

median pebble
#

if you play mana stack flay and use idols to stack mana, the new primordial unique relick is great

tight hawk
#

I will go mana flay eventually, but I don't have teh gear yet

little wigeon
#

The twisted heart is just a stat stick for the 20% HP and some armor from the strength. You can run any exalted (putrid souls base looks best) with affixes that fit your needs

anyone ever mess with flame whip warlock? seems cool

It was pretty strong season 2 and killed uber so it should be the same or better since warlock wasn't touched much and now there's primordials

Oh wait I forget it did use the leech for dmg mechanic which was nerfed but besides that it should be ok

austere lichen
#

sick then

#

thought i would switch to lich after leveling as warlock but i forgot how fun and speedy this class is

#

i last played it in 1.1 when it was pretty busted

i remember warlock being able to spam a certain skill to make profrane veil cool down lessen but i'm guessing they removed that?

#

Maxroll 💀 I started at 500mana and worked up from there np

molten bramble
#

The guide on max roll was made by people who never season started the build or experienced it. The mana expenditure scales with mana pool meaning that even with a low mana pool it can be played. I went warlock until 60 then swapped to mana flay lich. It was ok and you had to baby your mana a bit. At 70 with the axe and around 400 mana you are off to the races.

#

Just make sure you prio mana rolls on chest/helm/relic/gloves and try to get as many mana idols as possible

brave hearth
#

Is there a way to add a primordial affix to an exalt

#

Oh duh rune of evolution

viscid geyser
#

for ice harvest lich do I need to crit cap?

little wigeon
#

For most hit builds, the goal is crit cap yes

#

It should be relatively easy since there is base crit chance nodes in harvest and flay

viscid geyser
#

is it that much of a increase if I have the 9% increase base crit on harvest and the 100% global crit chance? I am wondering if I should rock T6 crit chance on my ring so I don't have to risk bricking it like I did for my other 5 rings.

little wigeon
#

You should be running daggers which also add base crit, did you count those? There's a blessing for 80% crit chance and reaper form for 100% crit chance as well as lich passive for crit. Kinda gotta do the math yourself as the skill tree nodes won't show on the character sheet, nor reaper if not in reaper

viscid geyser
#

I did not count the dagger. yeah I guess I should be good. I went to the dummy and I see mostly yellow with maybe after every 10 hits I see normal numbers

tight hawk
molten bramble
#

I think the mana flay build on maxroll is fairly poor the gearing choices leave you as very frail

#

but you are able to build it with very good defenses and great damage

#

getting red rings or font of the erased using pale ox or core of the mountain

little wigeon
#

The gearing is pretty different. Traitors tongue/primordial relic vs T8 rune dagger. Forces you to run crit rings and the unique gloves which then you lose out on armor to dot dr as well as red rings or font of erased

molten bramble
#

using brewmaster belt

#

normal set up is axe/traitors so that you do not have to use rings for crit

little wigeon
#

I tried both and prefer traitors

#

I even got a pretty good rune dagger

molten bramble
#

I think if you use primordial dagger you are just forced to be paper in defense but you have top end dmg

little wigeon
#

Oh also the julra stardial are pretty nice for uber

#

Just follow noobzor haha

charred ridge
#

so they don't have time to spend entire days thinking about just one build and playing it from no gear to giga endgame gear

#

so they're decent but generally not super optimized

charred ridge
molten bramble
#

just better to use julra's i guess

charred ridge
#

yeah stardials are pretty op for an item you get at level like 40-50

#

but aside from the choice of rings, losing 9% base crit from TT forces you to run increased crit affixes, which are always shared on slots that could use better stats (like mana or int)

#

the only slots where you'd actually want to slam crit are relic & amulet, of course it would need to be your 2nd LP so the gear requirement is inherently high budget for the rune dagger

#

and at that point getting another 5% dmg just doesnt really matter, i'm done with my gearing and uber consistently dies in 36 seconds (without marrow shards)

odd pasture
#

Thank you noobzor for showing your lich tanky Version, i changed from max DMG to survivability so i dont die through every Hit and today i killed uber 3 Times, still 60 trys though😄

nice

link planner rq so i can see what level of gear you did it with?

just curious

Yes Sec. ITS scrapped but i Made it, of course without Immortal vise, i used exalted with mana Armor shred and atck speed
