Upon seeing the new item Mythical Aeon’s Eye I was curious to theory craft something around it. Unfortunately I gave up half way through on it after realizing that 1/3 of the wraiths native damage is NOT converted!? perhaps a slight oversight but the vitality and cold are converted to aether. Unfortunately decay isn’t… As we all know aether & chaos damage have no DoT equivalent like most other damages. I also think that the fact that it converts cold to lightning in general and the wraiths specifically cold to aether is a bit bizarre. Would it not be more thematically accurate & just more powerful if they were converted to lightning instead of aether?
Fingers crossed that this doesn’t end up on the junk pile of rather interesting but ultimately useless build defining items. Perhaps there’s more support that will make it a better option in future patches.
Still a LOT of exploring to do in both the game maps & item database! Thanks for the amazing expansion~
Not quite sure i follow the issue part of aether dmg losing DoT, how is that suddenly an issue
- and it effectively compensates (like most other skills converting dots to non dots), by giving you a lot extra dmg via +2 spawns.
As for the global conversion, wouldn’t it be better it either wasn’t there, rather than turning Wraiths lighting? - like it’s gotta be a way bigger build issue to be lightning dmg Necro, than lose 25% flat cold sources elsewhere, no?
Not sure why it has the lightning conversion aside from trying to be a elementalist lightning ammy tho ![]()
