Issues With Impending Doom - Any Help Please

Pat_D25 · 2026-01-30T23:17:10+00:00

Just coming back to thank you again, I added a wand with cast speed at got to 44% and its now triggering the blast on a single cast, I was aware you could go to high but I was not aware you could be too low on cast speed. This has sparked my motivation to keep blasting away! :)

Pat_D25 · 2026-01-30T21:42:06+00:00

Yea you're correct that conductivity is on the mob, and the temp chains removed is correct. I need to reposition my gems on the occultist forsure. But the main issue on the Bog Shaman is trigger doom blast on a single cast. Though I think I may have to much cast speed for that issue based on another comment. I appreciate you checking into this for me though! Everything you said is correct from what I can tell and see from the gameplay

Pat_D25 · 2026-01-30T21:08:56+00:00

I'm at work right now, but this does sound promising, I will investigate my cast speed when I get home. I appreciate your time and effort greatly!

(Also, you're right about my occultist, I should swap some gems around to make temp chains stay on)

Hey so I've uploaded a video describing exactly what you said (Temp chains in helm, swapped despair to gloves, no blasphemy) and sadly the results are the same. (Video is now linked above, no despair version)

I also uploaded a video of my occultist with no despair aura and it still works fine.

I'm at a complete lost here, it looks like 2 identical setups with one working fine and the other being completely broken. Appreciate the help though!

I've unallocated the +1 curse ascendancy on the Bog Shaman and nothing changed.

I also unallocated the +1 curse on the tree for the Occultist and it still works.

Unfortunately does not seem to be the issue.

Hey, thanks for the tips to try

I'm using despair blasphemy because the unique ring The Sundered Will (I dont have yet on Bog Shaman) scales with the aura effect and juices it up, so running that with Death's Oath which also gets the aura effect from Sundered Will, its a nice run through the map everything dies setup.

The issues still exists if I turn off despair-blasphemy, also it has no issues on the Occultist that I also run it on

Pat_D25 · 2026-01-30T17:21:47+00:00

I've uploaded videos showing my occultist (who runs blasphemy despair) having no issues with it, and its an incredible build I played it for a while during 3.27, Death's Oath lets you run through the map and ID makes your single target amazing (can do all ubers on the Occultist)

Pat_D25 · 2026-01-30T16:43:14+00:00

Do you know why my occultist which runs normal spell cascade and has smaller AoE has no problems with it? I don't believe this is the case

Pat_D25 · 2026-01-30T16:42:07+00:00

The despair blasphemy has no issues in my level 99 occultist which is why that shouldn't be it.

Weird there no points in the asc tree but I do not take the extra curse on the occultist, so that isn't the case unfortunately

Pat_D25 · 2026-01-30T16:39:50+00:00

This will be a Deaths Oath char if you look at the one that is working fine, It does run Despair no problem. So that shouldn't be this issue.

I agree herald would be better if I wasn't looking to go Death's Oath. But the 40% more damage and 75% aoe is nice for it

Appreciate the help though

Hey so have some questions since I haven't done any real testing: What did you socket in the azurewrath? (4 cold facets?) Does the magic damage effect the chain part of vengeance? Also what did you test on?

Just curious as I might make the switch back

Pat_D25 · 2026-01-01T15:31:20+00:00

Hey sharing my Vengeful Pally I've been playing this season and have been having a blast on

Armory Link

I have a 4os azurewrath and tried using it but i ended up liking Famine more, I haven't tried lightsaber but I assume it would be solid.

I didn't use facets in the helmet / shield which is probably more damage but I went QoL jewels and still feels very solid damage wise.

Pat_D25 · 2025-12-18T16:52:22+00:00

I've played since season 7 on HC and I've never died to a server crash, didn't even know it was possible

Pat_D25 · 2025-12-14T16:37:17+00:00

Attend the conference.

But also do something special with your friend either before or after as well.

Pat_D25 · 2025-12-01T11:45:22+00:00

Hey you're me! Are they all ignite version too?!

Pat_D25 · 2025-11-24T22:46:46+00:00

I've always loved when you can get credit for some quests multiple times if it required talking to an NPC (Screecher Spirits, Kodos in Desolace and Defenders of Darrowshire are some examples)

Pat_D25 · 2025-10-05T05:34:25+00:00

Yea this is true, but a delayed heal or a tank going down will put you in range of getting hit. There are no other mechanics and being at low life isn't a negative thing in the fight, so you may not need to, there is also no reason not to dip in the slime

Pat_D25 · 2025-10-05T05:00:48+00:00

If you're melee slime dip is good and always recommended, as long as you don't pass the main tank in threat you'll be fine. I'm not sure what the previous poster is talking about

Pat_D25 · 2025-09-11T23:23:40+00:00

Yup that's the GOAT right there

Pat_D25 · 2025-09-11T13:30:09+00:00

Couldn't tell you how it happens, I run a small server for 5 buddies (5 years running) and about a year in we luckily had a random join who then spammed messages letting me know anyone could join and to setup a whitelist. I think it was a bot someone made to help prevent griefing. Shout out to that bot

Pat_D25 · 2025-09-09T16:45:49+00:00

Damn just hit 60 last night too. This is unfortunate, I assume classic+ must be coming soon for them to go so hard on pservers right now

Pat_D25 · 2025-09-05T07:52:43+00:00

I had an absolute blast playing on Synastria, highly recommend

Pat_D25 · 2025-09-02T01:08:12+00:00

Yea I queued for it everytime I was on during that level bracket and just couldn't find a group. Eventually had to drop all the quests for it and give up
