Ravenous Earth is weak (except BlightLord)

Doesn’t this skill rely way too much on the Blightlord set? It doesn’t necessarily have to happen in this specific patch, but I think it ought to be buffed. I feel like it would be better to reduce the damage modifier from one piece of the Blightlord set. and raise the skill’s base damage instead. If anyone thinks that’s a bad idea—please let me know.

base skill buff affects campaign and levelling, endgame buffs should be on endgame gear

Perhaps, including BlightLord :rofl:

You can’t expect to invest only 16 skill points and kill bosses very quickly. You need to use other spells/skills as well during the cooldown. RE can shotgun with good manipulation of boss positioning, and that is extremely important to do to get the most out of it. Foul Eruption is useless against a boss that summons no minions.

For levelling there are tons of options. Easy to get +10 to RE with 2 living rings, bonespike etc. The magi MI helm is a pain, but the acid RE off-hand is easy.

For vitality damage you could also dual-wield bonespikes, ugdenbog howlers or use spectral maul/arbalest. Compelled Wraith + Namadea’s Eye + Ungoliax amulet + Korvan pauldrons for vit BWC during levelling. Vit Drain essence Leafmane off-hand.

Lots of options.
