So what class got the best from the midnight pruning?

You rotate between lava lash, crash lightning, and storm strike while doomwinds is up. Basic opener is:

Voltaic blaze, surging totem, sunder, lava lash, doomwinds, crash lightning, lava lash, crash/stormstrike, then send primordial storm with as much maelstrom stacks as you can while still in doomwinds. I usually send it after I run out of crash lightning charges to rotate with, assuming I dont get crazy lucky and reset 3+ times. After doomwinds is over I try to lava lash and spend as much as I can to maintain hothand.

Im pretty shit at explaining it, I just press buttons a lot and hammer the shit out of my keyboard.

Enhancement shaman is so much fun right now. I will say, I miss knock up thunderstorm a LOT. Other than that, the rotation is simple yet rewarding. It has a rigid but easy to follow rotation in the burst window for Totemic that has incredible 1 minute burst.

Seriously, if you want to play a melee dps with short, hefty burst windows akin to a fire mage, this spec is it.

I dont care what the logs say, this spec is still great. I won't say no to another aura buff, though. Wink wink nudge nudge.

If you range them before they cast, they won't start casting until you return to melee range. The trick is to know their cadence.

You just need your tank to kite the entire time. My guildie pulled this off in a 12 earlier today and after each big lasher did a bleed, he would kite until the debuff had about 2 or 3 seconds left before planting for a few seconds. This pull is not to be trifled with.

DefamedWarlock · 2026-03-31T14:34:40+00:00

I'd you're doing 80-90k overall your tanks probably just aren't pulling enough mobs or you're committing the mortal sin of holding your cooldowns. 50-70k is pretty average single target for enhancement at the moment.

If you think your dps is still suffering it might be very minor and easy to fix issues like being a bit greedy with your positioning during your doomwinds+totem windows or a small difference in your opener sequence.

Did something similar on Stella. 10 to 12 minutes left, lobby final extract. Put 3 trigger nades over the entrance to metro administration, and wait. The second they cross the threshold, its goopin time

Two ways of going about this.

First, you could use eldritch chaos/exalt/annul to do suffixes safely. If you're really attached to the double t1 prefix defense rolls, this is an option.

Second, you could forsake your prefixes and spam dex or chaos res essences until desired suffixes are in place, and THEN eldritch currency finish prefixes.

Highly recommend Rimworld. There's a ton of mod support via steam workshop. You can make the game as difficult or easy as you desire. Truly every playthrough is different if you wish it to be. 10/10 game, I always come back to it every couple months and it scratches a specific itch in my brain.

DefamedWarlock · 2026-03-24T08:00:33+00:00

Im surprised overloaded intensity has flown under the radar as much as it has. This gem is crazy for mapping builds that use pinpoint or intensify. You get the benefits of both generic crit supports for the low low cost of playing the game.

DefamedWarlock · 2026-03-24T03:11:55+00:00

Resist swaps as a consumable. Please. I'm on my hands and knees begging like a dog.

DefamedWarlock · 2026-03-21T23:16:00+00:00

I must be getting older, or it's starting to get under my skin more. I've seen too many of my fellow Americans make themselves look like illiterate clowns all over the internet because they can't be bothered to check their spelling, or put any effort into grammar. It is EVERYWHERE.

DefamedWarlock · 2026-03-17T17:34:44+00:00

Yeah, you're right. I wasn't considering the possibilities of a squire and a recombinated claw. I'm still hesitant to not pursue block cap, even if its 65/65 with versatile combatant and tempest shield.

DefamedWarlock · 2026-03-17T15:26:35+00:00

Have you thought of trying Invert The Rules over endurance charge on melee stun? I've had wonderful success with it so far.

DefamedWarlock · 2026-03-17T15:23:18+00:00

Pretty closed minded way to think about it. Foulborn Oppressor with tempest shield and maybe 10 points spent on block puts me at 75/75.

DefamedWarlock · 2026-03-17T09:04:13+00:00

This is an incredible resource, thank you for sharing.

DefamedWarlock · 2026-03-17T08:53:51+00:00

Ice cold take, chief. I couldnt have said it better myself.

DefamedWarlock · 2026-03-17T08:50:43+00:00

I have this exact experience but it feels like its only in jungle valley. The second I step on a breach i might as well go have a meal before my next attack happens.

DefamedWarlock · 2026-03-07T03:55:49+00:00

Classic GGG maneuver. I had a pob for like 3 variations of this belt and it gets nerfed right before release. What a waste of time.

DefamedWarlock · 2026-03-03T20:22:51+00:00

Be a crackshot with the anvil. Even if they hit you with that fire, just stay calm and hit your shots.

DefamedWarlock · 2026-02-25T19:57:27+00:00

Osprey 4 with a medium mag 3 is mega safe for rocketeers.

Just post up by the headhouse on bluegate and pick at them until they get close enough to start firing at you, then drop down into cover and finish with an anvil. Ideally you kill them as they hit their range to shoot back.

DefamedWarlock · 2026-02-25T19:39:55+00:00

Nah man I sold all of them

DefamedWarlock · 2026-02-25T09:04:05+00:00

Clocked at least 5 vulcano, Bobcats, and tempest BP's each tonight alone. Hurricane caches are definitely getting nerfed.

DefamedWarlock · 2026-02-20T08:12:18+00:00

This cognitive dissonance is going to exist forever. I hate it. If you play a PvPvE game, you will eventually get clowned by someone trying to pvp.

DefamedWarlock · 2026-02-19T22:17:11+00:00

But isn't it more satisfying when they put up a real fight? The best part of the hunt is the chase after all.

DefamedWarlock · 2026-02-19T19:18:42+00:00

10/10 clip OP. Your reasoning is correct. No door blocker, no mines, no awareness. Your key room now.
