I tried it a little and this is what I think. It’s made for fire deceivers… okay… but supporting 2 really weak skills so anything short of +1 to all skills (instead of Clarity of Purpose) will not do. Also, I’m not sure what the +2s to DEE is for. Last, thing, +%burn and duration.
Should be changed to a relic because this is what it is. Needs a total remake. I say aether Bone Harvest, and/or some CT mods? I’m thinking reviving the old Clairvoyaint concept that died with the Star Pact change.
I concur with most of your feedback here. I want fire DEE to work. Especially if it gets FX.
Reaper of the Accursed could indeed use a rework. The pet stats on it are pointless. Just removing them and compensating the tome with more caster stuff would probably do the trick though.
I think this shield is very good, but,
When playing in a fun build using this instead of using a legendary,
I feel it would be more fun if there was a type conversion from physics to elemental.
Could you add a 15% physics-to-elemental type conversion?
One more word from me. Occulant. Very strange shield. Designed for … whom? S&B dervish? Or S%B Sentinel? This way, no one in mind will play dervish otherwise than with duals. And for sentinel we have already the Sentinel of the Three set.
The changes to horn on it were good. I think it could use Fire/Lightning Damage change to Elemental Damage and add Frostburn damage, builds like cold demolitionists have very little offhand support.
Gravetouch
I tried Cold DE Reaper using this shield.
If I say from the conclusion, it will not help. Cold DE has Grasp of the Dead. It ’s far better.
Also, As others have stated, there is a better Cold EoR.( DW Chillheart)
I therefore suggest that this shield be completely rebuilt.
This shield requires a Phys Resist.
Eliminate wasted vit dmg and lightning dmg and concentrate on Cold.
Removed -10% RR vit and lightning from VoS and increased -% Cold RR.
As is said in the FoI thread, the compatibility between channeling skill and DoT is bad. Therefore, attach something that is not a frost burn. (For example, Renged Famble and Enagy leach are useful.)
Or deprecate DE mod and give Ill omen Cold dmg and-% Cold RR instead. Or Asid / Poison to Cold convert Cold RE may be good.
Support VM or AoM or Smite instead of EoR mod. Alternatively, It’s also a good idea to give SGE -% Cold RR.
Fiend’s Resolve
I like this off-hand look good. but the content is bad.
Problems with chaos cabalist and items:
Cabalist does not have -% Chaos RR, so it cannot be used.
Chaos RE has Soulcatcher, but there are few other Chaos / asid items that can use these two at the same time.
Conversion from damage type including DoT to Chaos (or Aether) is not good because it makes DoT damage almost meaningless unless well supported by items.
Insufficient vit converted to chaos. There is only Bloodsworn Scepter other than this offhand. And it’s 33% tied to Solael’s Witchfire. Not all vits can be Chaos.
My suggestion:
Remake it either way.
chaos type
Give -% Chaos RR to CoF mod.
Give CC resist or more DA instead of health.
asid type
Change the vit conversion and RE mod to Acid instead of Chaos.
Similar to Leafmane Horn, but no problem. Fiend’s Resolve has a nice proc, and the Leafmane Horn has flexibility.
I like your suggestions on this one. And thank you for still showing interest in these threads. Tell your friends. And yeah I don’t consider aggro abusing 1 by 1 SR65 to be the metric given the standard these days lul, so having it get something you suggested would be nice. Conversion of skills to phys would be cool because conversion is cool and making Zantai do new special effects is fun.
I’m curious how it’ll do in crucible, I imagine it’ll get bulldozed by too much incoming damage. I might revisit these threads in the near future to cross more off the lists but I’m also pretty drained by irl stuff atm.
Mythical Inashkor’s Head
Personal feedback after trying on Phys AAR Battlemage.
The damage is good and great. It’s pretty good, but personally I’d like to give you Wep% dmg instead of Flat phys.
Energy absorption from IEE and conversion Flat phys damage, Proc ADCtH can be fully utilized.
Now, Mythical Essence of the Grim Dawn is better than using AAR Conduit to get 16% Wep dmg. (4% ADCtH, energy cost reduction, Flat dmg) However, ADCtH of off-hand Proc is wasted.
Mythical Inashkor’s Corrupted Head
I suggest changing DB mod to DEE.
Currently, this off-hand is only available for Retal using the 3-piece Sentinel of the Three. I don’t think anything else will work.
I don’t think it will be better than the full set SotT even if it becomes DEE, but at least it should be better than DB.
Idk about Crucible, but my Phys AAR Inashkor Battlemage is SR75 viable, so things are fine on that front at least. I imagine there’s room for improvement from a better builder / pilot too.
(the double rare shoulder was just something I had lying around rather than a BiS choice)
That is how you get Angry Pet Noises. Reaper of the Accursed is fine as a Pet item. If it needs a buff, simply reducing the CD on the proc will do the trick.
(Yes, I am aware that I am replying to a post a few months old, but still…)
And on the Pet side, I do wish that Malmouth Strombinger had %mana Regen to help sustain Transmuted Blightfiend+Reap Spirits.
hmm.
I’m just giving feedback on what I felt after testing, so I don’t specifically oppose leaving the item intact. https://www.grimtools.com/calc/YVWjjgy2
I tested above but it was not very good. I felt that it was stronger to simply cut off Phys and concentrate on Chaos.
Not surprised that doesn’t work given that the offhand is for physical and not chaos. And Sentinel is also better for physical Doom Bolt than Witchblade.
If you want a chaos doom bolt build, there’s a Pyromancer build made by Superfluff.
What the Corrupted Inaskhor offhand needs is the Hellfire Mines bonus to be replaced by something actually fitting (Curse of Fraility but honestly, +3 to Doom Bolt would be amazing given that it would allow easy rank 22), a CDR mod to Doom Bolt and an increase target area to Doom Bolt.
