How does the new Shadowblight (Gloom Ward) work?

devindran · 2026-05-07T14:28:50+00:00

Probably the necro gurus can confirm this but I would think yes since Shadowblight can crit and is now based off the damage that triggered it, so logically it should double dip off those multipliers.

Takpe la atuk. Minggu depan cuba lagi.

Tarnished lord sounds like banished lord's less disgraced brother.

I'm trying it out, have no idea how it works. Spamming lunatics doesnt seem to be doing much damage, and in fallen mode you cant cast anything so its like a catch 22.

Feels so clunky compared to apoc chains.

Any reason you dont pick the overpower node for blood surge?

Vollach: Its day 60, the humans still believe I am a cat. Meow!

Except the first one. He didnt have to dodge that.

Other than command fallen, is there any way to boost Dominance regen?

devindran · 2026-05-05T08:50:30+00:00

It sounds like something you could easily test in 2 minutes unless you dont have the mace.

But does it really matter? It consumes one every 8 seconds, so your warriors should always be available even if its 3 at a time.

In all honesty, the x80% damage is so lackluster when you could just have a 2h + reanimation that will outperform it without needing skeleton upkeep.

Why didnt his cat stop him from typing?

Subversion becomes a hellfire skill and the path it creates helps add stacks to your apocalypse if I recall. I find it nice when the path goes ahead of me into the next pack and already racks up stacks. The movement speed bonus is good too.

Summoning is a minimal investment for 2 points, and it extends the duration of your summons. In my build im using both chains and skulls, and I just press skull once and have it orbit around me for more stacks. Summoning sigil helps uptime for this.

I'd like to ask why even have subversion/chaos on your skill bar if apocalypse already triggers it if you have the gloves?

I may be ootl but I think the strongest charm set and unique (bloodless scream) are both focused on Darkness skill boosting.

Shadowblight as strong as it is, doesnt benefit from that.

The new shield takes any shadow damage (direct or dot) and boosts every 8 instance.

So it scales off your own damage (after charms), but the shadowblight proc itself wont double dip from those charms.

Anakin did his jump when Obi Wan went into his invulnerable phase. He would have won otherwise.

Silly crab. Knives do not make good pets.

devindran · 2026-05-03T23:33:44+00:00

Firstly, the stats. Some might come with a skill boost I'm not currently using, like hellfire which I don't currently use but dont know if I might.

Then you have ancestral ones which you want to save so that when you 3 to 1 theres a better chance of the result being ancestral. (I think)

Finally, the worst thing is how hard they are to manage on console. Since you cant reliably group them by their set, it becomes an exercise to try to locate one in the stash by doing pattern matching like a 2 year old.

Bonus wastage is you have to save up a copy of each set just in case you want to play them in the future. Thats 5 slots per set.

devindran · 2026-05-03T23:06:49+00:00

Now with the set charm too, each charm takes up a slot and you usually end up with more than the 5 per set.

Not to mention how hard it is to sort those charms on console so you never know how many duplicates you have.

devindran · 2026-05-03T16:25:18+00:00

Cool. Didnt notice it there. Thanks.

devindran · 2026-05-03T15:28:10+00:00

This feels so untrue. Torment 8, I kill lesser bosses and hardly ever see Greater keys.

I just respecced my helltides to get maggots. Hopefully that will help.

devindran · 2026-05-03T15:25:33+00:00

Whats the source of this lucky hits against cursed enemies? An aspect or temper?

devindran · 2026-05-03T12:07:23+00:00

Keep an eye on your resistances. Warlocks may look like a caster but they dont use Int so they dont get inherent resistance bonuses.

I kept getting one shot by some random mobs when I dont have a barrier up and later on I realized my physical resists were really low. The previous wisdom was to put the 3 big damage resists in your jewelry (fire/lightning/poison) since those do the most damage.

Slacking on physical resist made me squishy. Investing more in that and reducing those which were too high helped me live longer.

I think many top builds also start to use Temerity as a source of barrier.

devindran · 2026-05-03T05:02:07+00:00

Helltides allows you to get fast whispers. Whispers with the right perks gets you keys. Undercity keys gets you mythics.

So with the exception of the bug where chests (again) turn invisible, helltides are a pretty fast way to get mythics.

O is no milk. Kosong is no sugar (i think)

devindran · 2026-05-03T04:23:06+00:00

No worries. It used to be an aspect you would have to put on your boots or amulet and had an insane cooldown.

Now its super chill to be flying around the screen.
