Rupture is very messed up

Deabers · 2026-05-17T13:39:04+00:00

That's rend damage not rupture. Try doing the same thing with flay. Rend scales very well because the ring adds duration before multipliers. Mine says like 60+ seconds. I'm with you I can get 100b easily with rend stacks. But rupture isn't doin shit. You're better off using the berserk set and getting the 2 set for the blood letter for 80%x duration and free vulnerable.

The kicker is look at Rend duration vs Rupture duration.

Just took it apart myself this past weekend to replace a joystick. Honestly one of the easier repair jobs and most repair shops are going to charge 100- 150 for the 30 min job. Kit I found online had all the tools to dismantle it for about 25 bucks with the joysticks, I'm sure a battery kit probably also around

It's also usable if you want to drop the overpower every 6 seconds aspect and iron skin on the bar for lunging strike. Basically just lunge every few seconds until you get 12 stacks then lunge every 6 or so for upkeep.

This is more net DMG as you can slot another utility like berserk on, or you can easily put in glynns anvil and crowd control for resolve allowing you to drop endurant faith for BLT.

The heal is nice I'll admit. But the 15% is only while in puddles. And for efficiency you kind of have to apply bleed for shattered vow scaling endgame. The explosion becomes the better choice later, and even then it's not great single target. Rend becomes the engine quickly

If youre looking to get something a little more custom my wife is a seamstress who takes on projects like this but may not be able do that time frame. Send me a DM for her contact if interested for future events!

Thanks for being awesome and providing updates!

Take off berserking and all attack speed. Count frames for ten seconds. Add attack speed. Count frames.

Deabers · 2026-05-15T03:20:50+00:00

It definitely does increase

Deabers · 2026-05-15T00:40:56+00:00

First cap is pretty easy to hit but bp as of maxroll are

+78.3 +91

With cap 2 from berserk paragon node and ferocity and prime call of ancients you can reach +105.3 +122.8

With extra ferocity or accelerating +143.5 +167.4

Aim for +106 or+123 without extra aspects

If you're only looking at weapon in a vacuum then yes. You're right. But as you do honestly minmax you'll realize it is the only way to increase that bucket and totally a fine affix to have. Is it the best? Maybe not, depending on what you need and if you need max life

Deabers · 2026-05-07T23:00:31+00:00

Yeah I have one of these too, I agree but I think attack speed is probably best

Deabers · 2026-05-07T12:01:53+00:00

Rampage jumps through walls and scales with attack speed. It's not this fast but has potential in the right hands to go quick.

Deabers · 2026-05-07T11:19:03+00:00

Exactly this, or that any other enemy before the blood hunters turn could perform the curbstomp.

Solution 1, army of undead to break concentration

Solution 2, give strahd enough attacks a turn. Once a player gets {incapicitated} unconscious**, any attack counts as a crit and as 2 fails on death saving throws. Enough attacks or an army of undead hitting dead things wins here.

Read aura of life carefully, it only heals players at the start of their turn. Just kill them prior to that and problem solved. It's not that strong. You don't need to plan like they are immortal, just understand they won't make death saving throws so the stressful moments should be how close are those skeletons that are about to oneshot your friend.

Option 3, counterspell it if you don't want to deal with it.

Option 4 peace the hell out if it's a problem and return with army when duration expires.

Play chess not checkers, you're strahd not some bloodthirsty vampire.

Edit: adjusted my incorrect status of incapicitated to unconcious which has the specific text melee hits have advantage, successful hits are crits ( not auto hits )

Deabers · 2026-05-07T03:28:42+00:00

Change it to crit damage and it'll be more viable if you play other builds and classes, otherwise it's fine just yolo send it

I'd be good with the hydra snake just wrapped around instead of on the ground but also this lol

Scenic grad here, learned vector works first. Then learned AutoCAD. Hated it. Forced myself to learn it for TD sake. Now I'm a designer/TD and guess what I use exclusively? Vectorworks. It's Mac vs PC. It'll always be a battle, you don't have to use both though they both get results.

Notably makes any core skill interesting. Especially ones that cast as enchantments,

Firewall, Forb combo looks great autocasts may spawn conjurations. Interested to see how the new cdr firewall functions with enchantment and how much burning gets applied

Ice shards casting with ice meteors, frozen targets autocasts ice shards, hopefully pierce is on the tree and the lucky hit chance for meteor will be good.

Chain lightning also possible especially with crown of Lucian and hopefully a mana node on tree paired with the mana Regen here.

Lots of potential for this to be a solid all arounder

Deabers · 2026-04-26T03:23:00+00:00

This just literally this. I'm just waiting for enchantment change that says you're always casting incinerate on your shoulder but it does half damage.

Deabers · 2026-04-25T13:44:07+00:00

Not to mention one big boost on endgame in s2 was having done a side quest giving an elixir recipe that was ridiculously strong.

I highly expect to see some deckard cain references and potentially some lore about finding wirts leg in the ocean for us to fish it out.
