Hey guys, first post, but been looking at this forum for a quite a long while. Anyway, I’ve been using the retaliation build from squib, but trying to get some more damage into it for ranged bosses. Now I was thinking of getting cadence combined with the assassins mark devotion. The reason for that is that you buff the cadence damage…
However, here’s my question. Assassins Mark also decreases piercing resist. Considering that a lot of the retaliation damage is piercing this would buff my retaliation damage as well right? I assume so, but retaliation works a bit odd sometimes on the damage numbers.
Thanks for the quick reply, guess I’ll try it out and see how it works. But squib build with cadence line, blitz, assassins mark and hammer should be a huge single target dps increase.
Assassins Mark is only really useful for bosses/nemeses since it can’t proc on multiple targets from an AoE crit and it tends to proc on random targets on top of that, so if that’s what you want to for it should help. It’s pretty mediocre for anything else though.
Really late reply. Have taken a closer look at your devotions, and that targo’s hammer is actually a great idea. Just wondering if Ulo and Solemn Watcher are really worth the points (considering I’m not the Tree of Life)
