[1.0.0.4] Cadence Witchblade - 100% unkillable, 100% faceroll build

With Deadly Momentum and Fighting Spirit active, my WB reaches around 60k~ DPS with 80k and 90k crits.

The nerf to the Markovian Fortress set skill is very noticable tho. Before i could almost spam Oleron’s Might. Now not so much.

I hope someday to find some pieces of this set. I have precisely zero.

That damage is sick for 1h+shield build, cause you have both insane tankiness and insane DPS.
Well, ok, didnt noticed the nerf to Markovian 5-piece bonus, but still, Cadence buffs are much more notable.

For me, both Agony and bloodsong dont look as perfect weapons - they convert too much damage into non-physical (do note - you have massive reductions to physical resistance with CoF and ring), and getting Nameless Soldier just for pierce damage (which isnt get increased by ring and CoF)… idk, too much points wasted.
Why dont get a well-rolled rare instead? Let’s say. with “Plaguebearer’s” Prefix (allows to use any other relic) and “of alacrity” suffix. There are other good rare prefixes too.

I’m just glad Cadence doesn’t suck major ass now.

If you can’t get that well rolled rare, agony still more than decent to me with the last buff.
I just tried it today some minutes and landed a 120K crit.

It’s not that hard to get one, just check vendors non-stop…
Sure, agony fits well too.

I still trying to get one from blood grove vendor but no luck yet :mad:

The +1 Soldier on Agony is huge for a build that needs as many skills as 1H + Shield. I have a couple of top-tier green weapons and I think I am better off with the Agony.

Fighting Form and Deadly Momentum now increase pierce damage as well. It just made the pierce conversion of Reaver’s Claw actually useful.

It wont be really “useful” as long as Curse of Frailty and Ring of Black Matriarch reduce physical resistance, but NOT pierce resistance. The difference of -60 resistance is huge, even if your %bonuses to pierce are same as physical (which i doubt).

Well, is it worth DPS loss due to conversion? I’d stick with green weapon, if i had a really good one. But +1 to soldier skills is a good thing too, should admit.

Well, I only gain ~1200 Paper DPS if I swap to a Frenzied Bonescythe of (something I forgot). That’s not enough to change the weapon.

Switching to agony you can drop unknown soldier for rohwan scepter, harpy for anvil, and maybe dryad to complete chariot.

Why you dont take into account extra -50% physical resist, that dont work for ~25% of your damage? That’s 12.5% more damage, or even more.

We don’t have much choice on legendary items.

Only Agony / Claw, what about Earthsplitter ?

There is not the +1 soldier or the proc - physical resit but some others good point ?

You are right :slight_smile:

So, I changed the devotion setup and use the Bonescyte, now I have 39k Paper DPS (from 32k). My highest Crit is now 150k. With One-Hand and Shield. That’s insane.

Where do you farm the bonescyte ?

Do u have same build + gear as JaJaJa (exclusive of Devotion)?

You can farm it from Trogs, in deep underground locations.
But you dont have to farm it - you can just buy it from vendor.

Best place is blood grove hidden vendor, he usually has 4 scythes on average. With a few relogs you should have a decent one

You mention in the leveling guide to put points into physique early on, when should I start putting points into cunning and spirit, if at all?
