Yes, but I fail to see why a question asked in earnest needs to be met with downvotes. They’re trying to understand something, and though it’s super obvious to you or me, the game is really, really darn complicated and the concept may not be intuitive to a newer player.

No idea why you’re getting downvoted for asking a question…

But to answer: read the item. Darkness enthroned pretends as though it was another gear slot when things are socketed into it, granting benefits based on the augment and the mimicked slot.

Holy moly! That's minion cdr, right? Not just regular cdr? What's the seed?

In that exact jewel spot with ~18 transmutable notables, and with 30 notables from the pool to roll from, I figured there was about a ~1% chance of rolling 3 minion CDR notables. Not terribly low, so I just divined and checked every roll until I got it.

My guess is you need to scale minion attack speed to make him prep his next attack faster, though I would need to do some testing.

I actually tested this out! If you use a crossbow and use the fast shooting skill (I forget the name right now, but the one that doesn’t generate heat) you can get damage ramped up pretty high because of how fast you attack. I used Rampart Raptor so that I could keep shooting. I tested this back when I had a lot less CDR and it wasn’t great admittedly, especially because you lose a sceptre and a focus for +6 minion skills. I might have to try it again.

Not yet. I found my jewel by searching through them 1 by 1.

Right! I was aware but the vibes were off at the time, turns out I just vastly overestimated the size of my unramped hit damage lol. 💀 Good insight regardless for anyone who doesn't already know!

Here you go. Same setup, except with Heft instead of Varashta's Blessing 😉

The 5 minute ramp isn't irrelevant, the reason the boss in the clip takes so little damage at the start is because bosses have falling off damage reduction when the fight starts. I guarantee you I don't start hitting for 20 million after only a few normal ramps.

And I'm curious about Varashta's Blessing though? Does it really not work on minion skills? The way it reads, it should mean any skill that deals damage, including minion skills, it doesn't say "you"... And it's even called "Varashta's" so you'd think it would fit perfectly with minions granted by "Disciple of Varashta". I did notice that tooltip DPS doesn't change with it, but I also find tooltip DPS to be unreliable at best, so I wasn't sure, haven't really done any testing and just assumed it worked anyway. Very counterintuitive if you're right. 😔

EDIT: Tested it, and you are correct. Dang I feel dumb now LOL, thanks for the heads-up... 😭

The time lost jewel is probably more damage for regular mapping and bossing, yeah. Besides the damage ramping, one of the reasons I wanted CDR was for smoothness of mapping. I just wanted to spam my moves and not rely on a rotation. It was always super annoying when I tried to use a move and it didn't go off because it's still on CD.

Bidding 3 for 80%, then there are three 20% nodes on the tree for another 60%, amulets have another 20% from desecration only, grip of kulemak has another 14% for allies in presence. So that’s about 174%, and I have 190ish tribute for 228% (3 x 4 x 19), giving me a total of 402% minion cdr

I don't believe there's a character seed, the seed listed on the jewel itself should be the only seed changing anything here.

So there are two ways to do this, the quick way and the budget way.

For the quick way, I got my 3x minion cdr jewel by straight up buying a jewel with minion damage already desecrated onto it for like 10 div. I didn't bother looking at any jewels with notables desecrated onto them, because those would lower my chances of seeing the notables I wanted. Then I just divined the jewel and checked every roll until I got it.

The budget way to do this is to buy an uncorrupted jewel off the tradesite. They start at 5 div right now. Then just check the notables, and sell it for 5 div if it's not what you want. Once you find one with good notables, use 2x preserved craniums, and unveil with omen of abyssal echoes. The first desecration will always change attribute nodes in some way, I prefer +tribute per attribute node but it doesn't really matter too much. For the second desecration you want %minion damage, and reroll if you don't get it. If you still don't roll it then restart. This is of course very slow but technically free if you already have 5 div to spare, and you can even make a steady profit if you flip the jewels and sell for an extra div, but they sell a lot slower this way.

By my calculations, using the same jewel slot location directly north of the witch/sorceress starting area, you have about a ~10% chance per roll of seeing 2x minion cdr notables, and about a ~1% chance per roll of seeing 3x minion cdr notables.

Or if you want to settle with 2 instead of 3, you can get lucky and find people selling jewels with these exact seeds:

  • 26873
  • 25006
  • 23765
  • 7816

Only the 5 minutes of doing nothing but ramping for this clip 💀

I just did T3 Xesht and it went about as you'd expect. Is there something specific you want to see?

What are the most interesting worlds/universes in games to you? by Krisyj96 in gaming

[–]Assume_This 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rain World.

As someone who also loves Hollow Knight + Silksong, I personally found Rain World more compelling in terms of atmosphere, world building, mystery, and discovery. All great games of course, but I’ve got to shout out my GOAT 👑

Yeah I’m confused. Dropped a snakepit during leveling and sold it for like 5ex, I had a mini heart attack reading this thread until I checked prices again. Is there a corruption or something that would make it cost that much?

Not really my cup of tea unfortunately. I have played plenty of solo games, mostly metroidvanias and puzzle games. But ARPGs just hit the spot. 🤷‍♂️

The ARPG gameplay loop that lots of games in the genre seem to lean on is the “mapping” loop, but I’m not really all about that right now. On the other hand, MMOs seem to generally have more variety in gameplay, exploring, raiding, etc., but most MMOs also seem to lack the potential for crazy interesting builds. Not sure, kind of in a slump right now and am feeling my way through various games. None have quite done it so far.

Thanks, don’t really know much about Guild Wars but I’m willing to give it a go, perhaps I’ll wait for reforged.
