I agreed with the part where you say that JoV is a cool guy.

He is.

Unfortunately, I also agreed with the rest of your post, as well.

BoMs are bullshit to roll for.

Back around launch, I rolled several hundred of them, to see what popped up.

I got… two +5 ones.

I like to pretend that my characters who use those two live in an alternate universe wherein those two rolled legit amidst the useless several other legit resources rolled ones.

But my honest characters do not use them.

122

You shouldn’t scrap Rends/Dread and just trade them. I have 3 Anguish 1 Dread and not a single SoulRend in something that is coming really close (if it isn’t already more) to 100 runs.

123

How about Belgothian’s charge vs Nemesis? Is there any debate for one relic vs the other? It seems Nemesis would be better if not just for the +1 to nightblade and higher cold %

124

Belgothian Carnage is better because of the proc which reduce the CD of your skills. Using Shadow strike more often is much better than doing a bit more (just a bit) damage.

125

BC provides flat OA and the CDR proc is very helpful.
Both Relics have +1 NB skills and the Cold damage is already high enough without Nemesis.

126

Want a couple or six?

On a related note:

Is it RNG, is it RNJesus, or is it Zantai in the shell?

…literally two minutes ago. :rolleyes:

HI all

1.Can you please explain the Olerons Blood on the main hand weapon- is it only for the 2% offensive ability ?
2.The same with the Focusing prism on the amulet - the 5% crit damge ( maybe the +18 spirit as well for requirements )
3. Is the 2nd weapon way better than a offhand ?

For reference here is my Grimtools link, any advice/tips/improvements will be highly appreciated.

Ty in advance

Oleron blood is used for the skill, which deal 350% weapon damage, thus adding a huge DOT source as well

And 2nd weapon is obviously better than an offhand because it adds weapon damage to SS

129
  1. It gives 2% speed not OA. It’s used as another damage source. It hits with both hands for 350% WD, has a 50% crit modifier, and has internal trauma damage we can convert into frostburn. Very strong ability on builds with tons of flat damage. The damage reduction is very nice too though not as much on this build since it kills sooo fast
  2. Purely for crit damage. If you don’t need this slot for health/resists than this is easily the best damage gain
  3. Far better. You would need an unattainable amount of cooldown reduction for it to outdps a 2nd weapon

That being said high cdr shadow strike is fun. On swap I have a weapon with riftstone for extra dash and an offhand with cdr. Provides truly insane mobility for maximum farm power :stuck_out_tongue:

130

Mr Tomo, try with Soulrend on weapon swap it gives more CDR than any off hand :wink:

131

Unless you only have one and it has worst rolls possible across the board. One day I’ll be blessed with 24% cdr and uber conversion one though :smiley:

132

Ty for helping out guys.

So any other suggestions for a dagger then, I assume the off hand dagger is a MI…any easier attainable suggestions ? epic/legendary/vendor daggers ?

133

Olexara Scepter craftable legendary. As good as some of the best Loxemere Daggers

134

As Elementoid’s guide says, Olexra’s Chill is as good as Loxmere’s Dagger.
You could also try out Nex, Deathmarked Claw, or a godly rolled Enchanted Cold Implement.
All but Olexra’s Chill will result in DPS loss though.

135

Very good op char! trying it atm! I dont have the weapon what about using Alkamos Soulrend? which component would you use on it?

136

This build is pretty nasty indeed; just encountered my first nemesis (the aetherial one) and he went down like nothing. Pretty dquishy for a melee build (mostly because of the archmagi and the enemies that explode upon death :furious:). I know this build is gonna get nerfed, but even a 10% nerf wouldn’t harm this build’s viability. (oh no itll take a whole 8 seconds instead of 6 to kill the strongest enemies literally unplayable)

137

There’ll always be an op class or build in any game, so who cares? Why nerfing something that is enjoyable? when people gets bored of the same char they’ll play a different one.
It’s easy, don’t nerf but make other classes better or similar (enjoyable to play)

138

Are constellations broken? I don’t see how it is possible to choose the Viper, which requires 1 Chaos affinity. But i see no source for that 1 point.

I can’t set up the same constellations as posted by Elementoid using the build calculator or ingame, as requirements don’t allow it.

139

Constellations can self sustain. You put the red point in the middle/crossroads and once you complete viper you can spec out of that point

Hi all

I am almost max level, and in Ultimate at Old Arkovia.
My Chaos resist suck, the others are okay.

I dont have alot of great gear yet, so i guess I am looking for improvements.
My damage output seems ok, but I am feeling very squishy.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Is Scourge or Deathchill a better relic at this stage ?
