Lol i like the flavor in your first choice hahaha. Should top him off with the cauldron of wonders or whatever it is, that epic helmet from AoM thats similar to the soiled trousers. Lol just an all around nasty character.

Again, love the dual wield of unconvential means on classes one wouldnt think to DW on. My Deceiver uses DW Touch of Purity to neutralize DoT effects on the squad for up to 16 seconds straight i need be, alternating between the 2. I see here, with DW malakdors youre pretty much constantly getting procs on malakdors infusion as its likely firing off as soon as it cools down, and at 8 seconds cooldown with 12 seconds uptime, thats like auto-heals every 8 seconds, granted its just 8% but with a large pool of HP it is great!

Thanks! Let me try to digest some of this.

Actually put together and played or theorycrafted? I think the weirdest character I’ve played in recent times is Chaos Drain Essence + Ravenous Earth. Not sure what to say for theorycrafted, there’s a lot I could pick.

Im speaking of actually played. Was your Chaos Drain Essence a Cabalist? I am assuming, seems like a great combo for that and ravenous earth with CoF and possibly even Bloody Pox, mad proc potential there!

Im wondering about a build id love to try- wishing and hoping there is, or will soon be, an acid/poison to fire/burn damage conversion for blight fiend/unstable anomaly. Would really really enjoy making a demo/necro built around exploding blight fiend bombs, with the hourglass and a ton of gildam arcanum and other CDR effects to keep pumping em out- is there anything out there like this that you know of?

It was a Defiler at first but when that didn’t work as well as I hoped, I tried Apostate. It did better but still had some issues.

I don’t know if pet conversion for Acid/Vitality to Fire damage exists off the top of my head but Acid/Vitality to Elemental does so perhaps you could try something with that.

Edit: This is the character link I made for the BiS version of the Apostate long ago: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/eZPg4vGV. Stats look mostly good on paper (except for Armour/Physical resistance) but in practice, it falls apart defensively.

The Rings from Bysmiel’s trinkets set convert some poison and acid dmg into Elemental (upto 80% with max conversion rolls on both rings). So you can kind of have Elemental Blight Fiends.

I hadnt thought of thise rings from bysmiels set… Its not as pure of a conversion, but it might do the trick… Perhaps a spellbinder as opposed to demo in that scenario, if elemental exchange affects the blight fiends… Not sure if thats the case.

It only affects physical damage however. If that is what you seek, you can simply use Bysmiel’s Mindweaver along with the Rings instead. No need to change classes :stuck_out_tongue:

Ohhhh wow… Dude i am liking this! Maybe dual wield those babies for absurdity sake. Alongside the rings… But ill be missing out on a lot of essential CDR to maintain multiple blight fiends on the field

Yeah, don’t DW if going for Blightfiends. You absolutely need the CDR. Also you don’t really gain much from DW’ing them as you will already have 100% Physical to Elemental conversion with good rolls.

For something that’s both weird and actually viable, AlexGoldFish_322’s Auramancer is pretty amazing.

Just angrily shouts at bosses so hard they give up and die.

I made a retal lightning grenado purifier with 3 piece dawnbreaker, that retal grenado gun, and kymon badge. Looks good on paper, worse build I played.

Shield octavius right now…

Unless is Battlemage is boring …

I tried my best, but i couldn’t managed to reach 75 even with all the tanky devotions, the dmg is so awful.

I can vouch for the power in this build by looking at these skills and devotions alone. My DW Deceiver is an exact clone on the Inquisitor side, with maxed out CoF, Blood of Dreeg, and Mending Touch on the Occultist side. CoF, Word of Pain, and Aura of Censure combined with active Word of Renewal and Blood of Dreeg feels awesome in a group stacked by devotions like the Manticores Acid Spray for RR and other RR sources procing on hit from WoP and aura of Censure. Throw in healing rain as well, its a super efficient support unit when DW Touch of Purity

DW Touch of Purity and miss out on the dank ass fucken 20% DA from Texts of Menhir? heresy

I havent found that boost in DA necessary on the Deceiver build. Its made to operate as a support healer buff/debuff. Sacred texts is great and all but… That 20% chance on hit ability only affects you. With DW touch of purity I can heal the whole squad twice, boost their max HP by a moderate amount, and keep DoTs quashed for up to 16 seconds straight.

Lol one time when i was level 80, i entered a 75 SR multiplayer game with a pair of lvl 95s, one of which said “lvl 80, f— off”.

He died long before i did.

Not sure what class he was or with what gear, but when i didnt provide protection he certainly felt it.

That said, the build is definitely designed for group play. Ill have to experiment with sacred menhirs while im doing solo play. Just wish that ability hit things in a radius, and not just you.
