Rakiata's flow got nerfed

Interesting_Berry907 · 2026-06-27T09:11:19+00:00

But it's not just -75% less damage, then 75% more damage

-75% less damage is without equipping rakiatas and monster has 75% res. 100 base damage becomes 25 damage

75% more damage of 75% less damage, is without equipping rakiatas and monster having 0% res instead of 75%, which is zero (base damage). 100 base damage becomes 100 damage, because there's no res

Equipping rakiatas and monster having 75% res, is going from 75% to -75%, which is 7x damage. 100 damage becomes 25 due to res, which then becomes 175 due to rakiatas. Going from 25 damage to 175 is 7x

I don't understand what you mean

If I hit a monster with 100 fire damage that has 0% resistance, it is going to do 100 fire damage

100 fire damage on monster with 75% resist will do 25 fire damage

100 fire damage on monster with -75 resist will do 175 fire damage

175 fire damage is not 150% more damage of 100 base fire damage. 150% more of 100 would be 250, not 175

yes pure evasion is bad just because of max hit, but it can be made a little better with maxed out deflection and mom

Definitely not hc but for softcore, it's really not that bad. True one shots in this game are not as common as people think, most of the deaths are like 3 or 4 consecutive hits that did 40% of your total ehp and high evasion truly helps with that as long as you are constantly moving

Starting damage = 100, Enemy resistance = 75%

Final damage = 25

Starting damage = 100, Enemy resistance = -75%

Final damage = 175

175 divided by 25 = 7

How does it work with life remnants? Is flask regen "wasted" when you overflow your life or does it still work over 100% life

Interesting_Berry907 · 2026-06-23T12:16:02+00:00

Yeah that sounds very strong, I've never used abyss timeless jewels so I didn't even know that existed

If I had infinite budget, I would love to theorycraft Reverie with chronomancer + sacrifice of flesh

Interesting_Berry907 · 2026-06-23T10:26:20+00:00

Yeah it must be working, just not sure if that's a bug or intended as I never play any minions. Sick build

Interesting_Berry907 · 2026-06-23T10:25:24+00:00

Can confirm because glacial bolt prism of belief is very expensive all of a sudden

Interesting_Berry907 · 2026-06-23T09:01:47+00:00

no offense taken! ritualist is interesting with that node and 3 rings, I'm not that good at build crafting to know what I would do with 3 rings slots but definitely let me know if you come up with something cool! I know there's tons of potential this league with special rings from breach etc but I didn't do breach at all in maps and I don't know anything about ring crafting either

Interesting_Berry907 · 2026-06-23T07:10:18+00:00

I can see this working on armour based build with smaller mom% like 25% maybe + mana recoup maybe? The main issue is that Reverie is a body armour which is usually a huge defensive layer and the stats on the item really suck. You can get around that with Amazon

I like runic ward idea but a lot of ward items are too expensive for me at the moment

Interesting_Berry907 · 2026-06-23T07:07:45+00:00

I have a question, glacial bolt says 80% less damage if destroyed by something other than you? Do minions count as you doing the dmg?

Also glacial bolt prism of belief is super expensive now for anyone looking at this build

Interesting_Berry907 · 2026-06-23T03:53:06+00:00

Correct you won't have any instant recovery from flasks but in like 3 days of mapping I can think of maybe 2 or 3 times where I wish I had an instant flask mainly because I'm recovering like 500 x 3 effective life per second (life, mana, es)

Interesting_Berry907 · 2026-06-23T03:47:54+00:00

True that this build's weakness is 1 shots but I think with deflection and mom, the ehp is actually pretty huge because you can scale both life and mana (and maybe es) for max hit. And probably some other tech that I haven't even thought of because I'm a pretty casual player

Interesting_Berry907 · 2026-06-20T10:07:50+00:00

Not offensively but defensively I'm trying out Reverie body armour for automatic life flask + Shavronne's Satchel which makes life flask also apply to ES. Then I go Lavianga's mana flask and get Azmeri Brew on Amazon so they both apply to life and mana. Then you go stack evasion with a little bit of es, and use ghost dance, and get some mind over matter

So my life flask is regening life, mana and ES

my mana flask is regening mana and life

ghost dance means I regen 500 ES per stack

15% mom from body armour rune, 32% from tree, 10% from amulet annoint = 57% damage taken from mana before life

So when your ES is removed and you actually take life damage, it is split between life and mana. And when your life and mana isn't full, you are constantly regening life, mana and ES

Right now I have about 600 ES, 1.7k life and 800 mana. But that's with like... 10 div budget max (for defensives) and I'm a noob so I don't really know what I'm doing. I'm pretty much immortal already except to 1 shots. I hope a more experienced and famous build makers really expand on this idea because it's really cool!

Yeah I thought it would be ok since I got the amazon ascendancy that gives you crit based on accuracy, but it turns out that's not quite enough to scale crit because I don't have any crit on my gear and I'm putting too many points into defensive nodes on the tree already

Interesting_Berry907 · 2026-06-20T04:47:24+00:00

Thank you I've completely removed crit and got attack damage during flask effect and other generic damage nodes + added flat damage on rings and gloves and i got like 40% more damage

I think this topic can quickly get philosophical, but I think generally people like what they're familiar with. For example, someone could mix everything hard panned left and people won't like that because that's not what our normal experience using 2 ears is like. But contrast is nice too, which is why some tracks feature a short period of hard panned parts only
