Build Comment: With almost any Vitality /Bleeding
DDD Build, you can simply start with the Blood Knight Set and go from there. Combine that with the Wanton Carnage Set and you’re pretty much 90% of the way to the finish line. These are very versatile sets that work for so many classes for this damage combo - and that’s a good thing in my opinion!
The hard part then becomes finding ways to get that Casting Speed as close to maximum as you can. Once you do that, spam BH becomes a reality and you can start dishing out the pain. One thing to note here is that both Spectral Wrath and Tip the Scales -RR% is not being applied to the Dummy. This means that even though DPSYes lists the damage as a 50/50 split, it is more like a 60/40 split in reality and this also depends on what you are fighting.
Getting Bleeding Damage applied to BH is tough and so I opted to try and get as much added to the Weapon Damage % that I could through the use of the Fox, Huntress and Mogdrogen the Wolf Devotions as well as Ateph’s Command Augments on my jewelry. Every bit counts!
I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled upon Benn’Jahr inside the Bastion of Chaos and managed to slaughter him without trouble. I hadn’t noticed he spawned and he looked pretty similar to the other Obsidian Heroes around him. So tankiness is definitely there!
Fashion Dawn proved to be quite difficult here. I wanted to play off of the “spike” of BH and so I went with the Rotgheist Set to start. After that I used the Ghol’s Reach Gloves that kind of match as well as the Ravager’s Barb for the weapons with the Ravager’s Harvest Augment to give it a slight Vitality /Bleeding
effect. I think it was a success in the end despite taking lots of back and forth to decide on a final look. Wooo!
