This is not a full build guide. I just want to show you guys the performance of oppressor bonemonger when build exactly like the set suggest:
https://www.grimtools.com/calc/8NK75gEN
With all permanent buff + Righteous Fervor charges, soul harvest, 2x mindwarp, hungering void, and ascension.
DPS shown is Righteous Fervor.
Cruci performance with 4 buff and no banner as usual:
8:25 clear time.
Build is resilient in cruci, never die, but also quite slow. Not as fast if it’s built as elemental one.
Some note for this bonemonger prescribed by crate:
- Itemization for elemental especially in FG is very good, especially if you want to go as tri-elemental, your choice will be abundant.
- Aether bonemonger cannot convert piercing damage from its proc.
- There are really no damaging aether devo. Spear of the heavens main selling point is its node.
- Limited RR if you want to go with oppressor. You either need to sacrifice your conversion ring slot, or relic slot in which you will sacrifice res or damage.
- Mindwarp is still the best overall aether weapon. Other aether melee weapon is honestly subpar.
- Limited way to proc wake of bones consistently.
- Smite mod is interesting and quite powerful, but it honestly not enough. To broke free from mindwarp, it honestly should modify Fervor to aether instead.
- Please give necro a res, anything.
- Please also lower siphon souls’ CD
Thank you for your attention…
BONUS BUILD
Strolling around grimdawn item database to search for aether>vitality conversion, got an idea to convert vitality damage in soullance to aether instead by using bonemonger and the new chain of Ygraad belt.
Just a fun build I made:
https://www.grimtools.com/calc/wV1E7nDV
Screenshot with all permanent buff + Word of Renewal, Deadly Aim, Hungering Void, and Sitting on Inquisitor Seal.
DPS shown is beronath’s fury
Cruci performance with 4 buff and no banner as usual:
7:55 clear time.
Apostate will always be faster than oppressor in this regard it seems. Build is almost unkillable with abundant amount of life steal, but obviously not a fast killer.
