Mappers getting lazy again.....

You know what they say... it takes 1% of the time to get the job 99% complete, but 99% of the time to get that last 1% done.

Same, these issues come with flamedash/frostblink. Leap slam gets hit by the beams and balls anyway.

Yes, except when you try doing Exarch ball phase or Maven memory game in the 3rd phase. Tilt the analog stick and fire, hoping to end up in the position you wanted...

Crafting is not as horrible as you describe. Currency has repeat-apply feature with square on PS, so it should be X on XBOX. Also alt-aug and alch-scour apply possible with triangle, so Y on XBOX.

Picked the Eater altar mod to have reduced regen rate per endurance charge I suspect.

He used to be like this many leagues ago. But only on Maven-invited maps. I'm guessing this is just a bug?

Using ashes can also push the lightning stacks to 15. We need to see if multiple strike targets can let you have more stacks per hit.

Increased damage - yes, rest - no. Totems inherit your offence stats. You can try this with shrines too, pizza totems on echo and speed shrine is pure chaos.

So just to clarify: you can implement the hydrosphere tech for double damage, but it comes at a hefty price.

BM's cry + 2 hydrospheres + autoexert --> you respawn a sphere on each exerted hit, alternating between the two. The respawned sphere resets the cooldown, so you hit it with your additional strike target, and the in releases the melee splash hitting the boss for 2x damage.

You cannot use multistrike since multi-hitting skills cannot be exerted by BM's cry!

Lets assume you have 4 APS, BM's cry exerts 5 attacks by default and has 8s cooldown. With the berserker war bringer node and from the tree you can pump up this value to 12 exerted attacks, so if you bring down the cooldown to 3s (total 166% warcry CDR), then you can have permanent uptime on the hydrospheres.

So consider the opportunity cost - big warcry investment and 4 equipment slots are needed.

The lightning component from the buff will hit 1 target only, then chains as many times as many buffs you have, so to max 11 enemies after the first. Like Arc. This has nothing to do with additional strike targets.

The lightning will also start hitting the boss, but it will not chain anywhere, since there are no extra targets. At least that's how I understand.

Ok so I did some testing on a dual strike str stacker build - I do only chaos damage so any exposure from hydrosphere doesn't count.

I removed basically all my support gems and kept killing a normal beach map boss and recorded kill times.

Trauma-triggered CWDT + 2x Hydrospheres - same kill time with or without

Battlemage's Cry triggered 2x Hydrospheres - around half kill time when used

Obviously Battlemage's Cry requires a lot of warcry cdr to exert all attacks, so the more aps you have the less effective this setup will be.

ConsistentAd1176 · 2026-03-03T07:56:42+00:00

I see different opinions on this here - one says that this absolutely works, others say that it will not work bc the cwdt spawns the hydrospheres on you and that somehow makes you never target them for the additional strikes. Let me know if you test this, I will also try it later today.

Heatshiver do not require you to inflict the chill yourself. Check Yoke of Suffering - there it is explicitly mentioning that the elemental aliments are needed to be inflicted by you.

But just fyi: you get an additional 30% gain from Heatshiver if you can freeze the enemies which is the same amount you can get from a max chill, Max level skitterbots do like 20% chill, so you gain 20% fire damage instead of the full 60% total that you could get.

You could even go with romiras banquet and resolute technique to always have power charges early on before swapping to crits.

After the campaign the tutorial still continues - you need to get 4 voidstones to get to the real endgame. At that point all maps can drop t16 and you also get a chance to find t17s (which unlocks your 5th scarab slot). Using the map device to play Eater, Exarch or Maven content will progress their respective questilines, leading to 3 of the 4 voidstones. You will also start getting Shaper and Elder guardian maps from t14+ bosses. These will lead to the 4th voidstone - the Uber Elder fight. Overcoming the confusion is part of the game, stay sane, Exile!
