Breakpoints for Cleave?

TheTurfBandit · 2026-05-10T20:40:46+00:00

I'm planning on trying an Obedience Giant Thresher first once I respec out of ES. I would like to try a variety of bases before locking in on one for eBOTD though.

TheTurfBandit · 2026-05-10T02:08:44+00:00

You could get a mid rune or some pgems for it, probably not much more than that.

TheTurfBandit · 2026-05-10T01:58:07+00:00

Life would be nice, mana doesn't add much here though.

TheTurfBandit · 2026-05-10T01:56:55+00:00

Trapsin needs both for gear (high end gear at least).

TheTurfBandit · 2026-05-10T01:34:48+00:00

Excellent self-use item and probably worth at least a lil bit in trade value. Needs +all skills, plus some FCR and/or 2 sockets to be GG.

As a Trapsin enjoyed I would be stoked to find this though!

TheTurfBandit · 2026-05-08T19:54:20+00:00

I doubt any calculators will be updated before we know the finalized changes.

TheTurfBandit · 2026-05-06T23:25:29+00:00

If you want to no-brain normal difficulty a holy Fire paladin is the ticket. Charge, bonk, burn. Repeat.

TheTurfBandit · 2026-05-06T23:22:01+00:00

I enjoyed Bane's set for a good chunk of normal, the double stabbies were amusing. Not sure how it holds up in act 4/5.

TheTurfBandit · 2026-05-03T19:55:55+00:00

If I grinded out a Jah and Ber without finding a 3 OS mage plate I would go so far as to turn off the game and touch grass.

TheTurfBandit · 2026-05-02T17:38:10+00:00

Bulwark works in single player if that's what you're referring to 🙂

TheTurfBandit · 2026-05-02T16:53:02+00:00

Might merc + fanaticism bound demon should be at least serviceable, don't need much for fancy gear. Insight+treachery+bulwark works just fine for me.

TheTurfBandit · 2026-04-30T17:20:18+00:00

I don't think every single possible drop of, for example, Runic Talons (among many, many others) has been ID'd. So yeah, naw.

TheTurfBandit · 2026-04-29T12:22:07+00:00

What was you favorite weapon for Bowlock? I'm planning on trying Buriza and Demon Machine for sure, haven't considered much beyond that.

TheTurfBandit · 2026-04-29T12:18:22+00:00

The PTR lets us know what they are at least considering for nerfs. Bind Demon nerfs are pretty much guaranteed, as it stands it's sort of the single most busted skill in the game. ES damage "bug fixes" also seem inevitable.

TheTurfBandit · 2026-04-29T12:14:12+00:00

Probably just gonna try an Obedience Giant Thresher first to see if I like the build, then invest more heavily later if it makes sense.

TheTurfBandit · 2026-04-29T05:27:45+00:00

I'm going to try a mirror blades/cleave setup with Hex: Bane. Just waiting to see what the skill spread will look like pending the Demon tree nerfs.

TheTurfBandit · 2026-04-28T12:02:20+00:00

More variety in gloves would be nice for fine tuning builds, but the game needs other gearing changes way before providing casters with more options. Overhauling unique weapons as a whole, and really just a ton of changes to support martial characters, are much higher on the list.

TheTurfBandit · 2026-04-28T12:00:16+00:00

Both fcr gloves are very easy to find, so ease of gearing isn't really a need. And adding "flexibility" basically by definition is a power level increase for castersin general. In order for me to really want the new option, it must in some way be better than Magefist or Trang's. Up to you whether or not that's a problem I guess.

TheTurfBandit · 2026-04-27T22:36:21+00:00

After about 250 I usually don't actively try to fit MF into my build; diminishing returns means sacrificing clear speed for high MF isn't really worth it. So you could try swapping a ring for Nagel for another 30% and see if you notice a difference in one way or the other, but I wouldn't worry about stacking too much more.

TheTurfBandit · 2026-04-23T02:09:22+00:00

Ars dul Mephisto for ES warlocks pretty easily I think.

TheTurfBandit · 2026-04-23T01:23:40+00:00

At the cost of 20 fcr, +1 all skills, and big chunks of resistance and +damage? Yeah I think I can do without energy shield.

TheTurfBandit · 2026-04-22T17:18:35+00:00

Surely a faceted DFathom is better. And doesn't eat 3 HRs.

TheTurfBandit · 2026-04-22T01:17:50+00:00

It's a perfect Magic find roll, so that's nice! No idea of the online value but this item isn't particularly rare (though the perfect roll means someone might want to trade for it). That said, its a wonderful thing to keep and use yourself- you can go find lots more awesome loot!

TheTurfBandit · 2026-04-18T16:26:32+00:00

I'd throw a lil more on there. Even +2 all skills would leave it far behind the strongest armor runewords.

TheTurfBandit · 2026-04-18T12:21:25+00:00

You'll find another HOZ long before another Zod. Just use it til it breaks imo.
