What is the drain essence situation at this moment?

The thread got more activity than I expected :smiley:

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t think about a RATA drain essence in the past.
I’d be lying if I said I had it in mind yesterday :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

since it has cold to acid conversion, perhaps venge wraiths in rings for more juice?

I’ve tried this famous Physical one by AlkamosHater at one point (but generated quickly with random rolls by gd-edit) and also my own Vitality one and both felt terrible against Ravager for some reason, like I would need to fight 5 or maybe 10 minutes even? And AlkamosHater beat it in just over a minute. I couldn’t even tank (but even with tank it would have been super long). Physical maybe because of (converted) Physical damage changes or some mistake of my own, I’m not sure. Vit maybe because it was Vit Death Knight and meme :thinking:

Acid has all these conversions available, doesn’t need to fight with armor so maybe it’s the best candidate now for Retal DE? I don’t know. The added 5m target Area from both of Retal DE items might be fun to use. 20% Retal added is like 2000 flat damage (before % Retal) in this build so it should be good?

Good catch. And I would like OA to be a bit higher. I kinda need them for overcaps atm though so maybe I’ll try to include them if the character is tanky enough.

Actually the Cold → Acid conversion doesn’t matter that much because all RR in the build (Vulnerability, Spectral Wrath, Murmur and Mark of Dreeg component) contains Cold RR and % Cold Retal is only slightly lower than % Acid Retal. Another non-intuitive thing that sometimes happen with Retal.


Sorry for not testing and just GT, I’m kinda in between computers and only have some old temporary laptop atm.

That is true, wraiths components could be valid even without the conversion

I thought there would be no one concerning RtA DE.
Anyway, I’ve done somethine really funny about RtA DE. I’ll post it later.

Aether imo.
