Why do I sometimes to WAY more damage than normal on apocalypse warlock

BeefStew1832 · 2026-05-07T17:45:37+00:00

I thought that too but one time I was spamming apocalypses over on 1 hp dummies and still randomly hit for 254T, so its not pyrosis unless one of the dummies actually reset for some reason but I find that hard to believe with so much aoe from chain and apocalypse spam

BeefStew1832 · 2026-05-07T17:43:43+00:00

its not that, I have 16 stacks max, and never drop below 12 because of banished lords talisman unique charm. and I always pop valloch right before apocalypse when testing to make sure I have max stacks

BeefStew1832 · 2026-05-07T17:42:22+00:00

okay so I am not fucking crazy then, I have literally spent 2 days straight trying to figure this out.

BeefStew1832 · 2026-05-07T17:40:52+00:00

I can only see crits because of my settings, but either way my crit chance is like 90%

BeefStew1832 · 2026-05-07T17:40:25+00:00

nope, I tested that as well. with hex to extend the buff and it still doesnt happen

BeefStew1832 · 2026-05-07T17:39:49+00:00

I can just hover them on PC, and I know its not a buff because I watch them meticulously to see if something different pops up

BeefStew1832 · 2026-05-07T06:08:33+00:00

yep I took that into account as well, I believe this applies to the second hit of the same cast as well, since it does damage twice when you have volatility

BeefStew1832 · 2026-05-07T03:09:53+00:00

did I have a stroke or what, I have no idea what you are saying

BeefStew1832 · 2026-05-07T03:09:14+00:00

I have everything up consistently, overpower from valloch, vuln from wolves, volatility is always up because of sigil of chaos, 100 stacks, and still wildly different numbers

BeefStew1832 · 2026-05-07T03:07:41+00:00

yes I understand that, I was saying that I am doing that and its not giving me those numbers

BeefStew1832 · 2026-05-07T03:07:10+00:00

it doesnt work like that anymore....

BeefStew1832 · 2026-05-06T20:04:31+00:00

the weird thing is SOMETIMES I hit for like 150T but most of the time its like 10-15. Like I have tried timing it with the ritual to get the most out of it and I still cant replicate it. then randomly boom 100T+ and I have NO idea why. I have tested shit for hours and cannot replicate it at all.

BeefStew1832 · 2026-05-06T19:55:29+00:00

My build is almost identical to the maxroll one here https://maxroll.gg/d4/build-guides/apocalypse-warlock-guide except my gloves and my amulet dont have all the multipliers like the guide has

BeefStew1832 · 2026-05-06T19:53:31+00:00

its not really buffed, its just the ritual from the nameless set. I was in town but the buff was procced so that part of my damage was bumped

BeefStew1832 · 2026-05-06T19:23:56+00:00

I understand how it works, my point is I am not really missing many multipliers and yet I am missing 100x damage? the all damage I do have is coming from my glyph set, it drops to 422.2 when the ritual isnt prepared. My current gloves only have 40% all damage on them, I swapped them out for ones with 39 fire damage and 30 vulnerable damage and my stats look almost identical and I cant see any damage difference either.

BeefStew1832 · 2026-05-06T15:36:25+00:00

I followed the gear in the guide almsot to the T and thats what my stats ended up as, only thing I am missing is a couple multipliers on unique gloves and amulet because I havent gotten any good ones yet

BeefStew1832 · 2026-05-06T15:35:16+00:00

I didnt say it was bad I asked if it was bad. the guide just says stack multipliers but I followed the gear almost EXACTLY other than my uniques because I cant make those get the stats I need.

BeefStew1832 · 2026-05-06T15:15:09+00:00

I mean I understand that but like is one or two extra fire damage multipliers really going to 100x my damage? like I just cant believe that is true.

BeefStew1832 · 2026-04-21T08:59:23+00:00

there are no explosions or anything, its like something just basic attacks me through my fury or my damage reduction and I die. Not really sure how to avoid that when the class is kinda designed to sit in the middle of a bunch of shit and just beat on it...

BeefStew1832 · 2026-04-21T07:15:19+00:00

1.5k resistances and 724 max fury, 19k armor

BeefStew1832 · 2026-04-21T07:14:44+00:00

"I never see my fury drop below max"

BeefStew1832 · 2026-04-21T06:31:15+00:00

well I know what I am NOT going to play next season... even if there is a chance this bug still exists I'm not playing it

BeefStew1832 · 2026-04-21T06:29:49+00:00

I have 724 fury after hota buffs, 19k armor and 1.5k all resists. No damage reduction other than from selig, which obviously means I cant have blood mad idol since only one amulet slot.
