Chaos EoR Needs More Support

…Because I just ran Ascendant Beronath and lo, it’s slow as all hell:

Why? Because despite the O-Stacks making DB hit much harder, which was a good idea, alas Chaos EoR has much lower DPS than it should and Mythical Wrath of Tenebris needs to modify damage of it much higher.

Also, it should modify Guardian’s to have Chaos -RR% as well, which would help a lot in FoA with it’s much higher resists and massive health pools in Ascendant mode. Plus it badly needs more attack speed, because 24% is too low these days sadly.

Now I could take the Chaos EoR Conduit, but the problem with that is simply that it blocks a needed source of Chaos -RR% and that’s a bad idea :confused: And the rings on this build are the best as getting enough OA and points for Soulfire is a pain in the butt.

Anyhow, I’ll mess around on this and see if different devotion path will help. Brain’s deads though so typing this was unfun :upside_down_face:

Edit1 - shaved off 20 seconds with this path:

Right Dying God and Abomination path time. Maybe I’ll even get some frozen asters actually dropping too.

Bit better:

[meta - whoops, forgot the Guardians, re-recording teim, brain derp detected]

Grabbed Dying God, Abomination, Chariot of the Dead (vital for defence) and Ghoul all in 1 devotion path. I am most happy :3 With the path, not with the actual damage results. Could go all out on Spirit, but you need at least 2600DA, ideally much, much more these days, never mind the pain of getting enough OA.

Anyhow, brains working again, so in summary, Mythical Wrath of Tenebris needs the following

  • Higher AS cap, ideally 34%

  • More damage to EoR, maybe in the form of more WD to it? Flat would also work, but could also do a skill modifer to Possession that adds it, to avoid making Zealot EoR potential too strong via Everwinter.

  • Some Cool Down%, hell, only 10% would work, but because it’s a two hander it means we can’t reduced the cooldown for devotions or Ascension to help increase survivability and dps. Though I get if this makes it too OP of course.

As for items support wise:

  • Rings, we have one already that gives some much needed Soulfire points, but otherwise the other chaos rings aren’t much use due to not providing any EoR support.

  • Lightning EoR is so strong partly because it has gloves supporting it, never mind all the other items, so a pair of Chaos and Vitality EoR focused gloves would be a definite help to Chaos EoR performance. Provided they give no support to Zealot, because Brib is already OP

  • Also, Berserker has plenty of chaos items and “of Corrupted Peaks” suffic that give +skills to Bonechilling Cry. Alas, it is not the same with support for Vulnerability, so us poor, poor, benighted Occulists should have more support for it as well. Hell, now we can reroll affixes, so how about a suffix? Because Single RR builds are in the FoA meta, a lot weaker than they used to be.

  • reserved for birbs.

you’re wasting your conduit :thinking:

I just noticed that :upside_down_face:

So much for getting a good sleep last night lawl, my brain is thus making dumb mistakes. Right, time to redo that fight, for the 5th time…

i’d also check if Eor conduit isnt’ actually straight up better
it’s a massive dps increase with that much flat, even if only applicable to eor, 15% RR isn’t that big a dmg bump for you 🧮 Critical Hit / Resistance Calculators - DPS multipliers, so could be eor actually out paces it
*also you’re picking a fire dmg ring for oa when chaos dmg ring exists :sweat_smile: Devourer Ring - Rare Ring - Grim Dawn Item Database

**quick napkin math also suggests bloodlord belt adds more dps than gargoyle

True, I’ll try the EoR conduit next, since that’s what I start this off with :stuck_out_tongue: Since using the RR one only shaved 6 seconds off the time it took, which is weeeeeeeird.

And I’ll try the devourer ring too, since a bit more OA would be nice.

Alas, the EoR conduit doesn’t help increase the Ascendant Beronath run :frowning: [ Edit, actually that’s because I forgot to take Solael’s Witchblade ffs. Did keep Chariot of the Dead now, but had to drop Ghoul, oh for 5 or so more devotion points lawl ] s

Also, EoR keeps getting interrupted for some damn reason :upside_down_face: And of course, Beronath is still spewing up black goo so often I can’t attack him T_T

So, here’s the final-ish form:

Still slow, still hampered by Beronath being cheesy and spewing AoE everywhere as soon as he lands. That needs to be dialed back in, because it hurts melee builds badly. Anyhow, now for SR to see if it dies in a light breeze, because I had to drop Ghoul to get Solael’s Witchblade. Which really should give 3 green, 2 red already. But @Zantai is still on his “no fun allowed” run with that one :stuck_out_tongue:

Also, feedback time on Asters, because the RNG is deeply stupid on them.

But someone got left out :sweat_smile:
