Chaos Cabalist Devotions: Mogdrogen's Howl + Crook vs Dying God + Ishtak

Pretty much what the title says, assuming you take solael’s witchfire and behemoth you can either get ishtak/ulo + dyinggod or you can go down to mogdrogen’s howl with typhos and shepherd’s crook.

With a chaos skeleton heavy cabalist build (max skeleton points, harbingers blade for conversion, random other pet legendaries/etc), is one of those options better? I’ve tried switching between them a couple of times and haven’t noticed a huge difference but this is just on like basic callagdra and sr 34 and stuff.

Better yet, anyone have any math to back this up?

hey!
I had the same question and am also curious with the numbers as well. & while this may be for another topic this feels relevant (by Maya):

Would love further insight. Currently testing it for myself but thought this may help you in your search. Lmk your findings!

Why not Ishtak + Dying god + Crook?

nice! thanks for that configuration – I wonder if it can be viable in HC (I tend to like Ulo for Cleanse, maybe dryad for regen sustain, or typhos or general defenses). Your setup front loads a dream amount of dps, temppttttinngggggg :grin:

Something to keep in mind - with that devotion setup, you need flat RR from somewhere else.

I’m sure this is obvious to you, but ishtak does technically have flat RR right?

That is unreliable at best due to the downtime + requiring the player to get hit. The RR provided is also less than other options.
