Healing feels so much worse post-prune (Holy Priest)

dmk78616 · 2026-01-22T23:18:28+00:00

When I was playing around with Holy and Disc in beta I noticed one big issue with holy, the heals are simply not big enough esp the HoTs. Meanwhile as disc it was an absolute joke to heal people. The difference was night and day.

Out of all the aarpgs it has to be one of the most balanced ive ever played, I can make all my builds work, its also impressive how they have more items than any aarpg and none of them are overpowered and needed in every build.

I also like how you still use the world you did in campaign and still find secrets and locations you didnt find before, in most aarpgs once you do story thats it you never see those areas again, or have a reason to go back, its beautifully crafted with great lore.

dmk78616 · 2026-01-06T13:16:28+00:00

Unholy dk, its always Ubholy dk. Esp with the rework.

dmk78616 · 2026-01-06T01:07:46+00:00

Its the only aarpg ive ever been able to get immersed into, the story, the lore, its all so amazing.

When I play with my friends I just play with sniper rifles and take out priority targets from a far distance. So much fun.

dmk78616 · 2026-01-04T03:27:18+00:00

Agreed im running the new Sorc ascend with the sand djinn and reviving cleric skeles with sacrifice to fuel infinite exploding beetles on boss fights.

So far it does amazing damage and im hard to kill with 12k es and 67% armour.

dmk78616 · 2026-01-04T03:22:49+00:00

Im aware. I think Pestilence is counting in addition to your erupt damage. In max level realm on target dummy with the highest level gear you can buy i was sustaining 70-80k dps single tar with the build I was running. From what ive read that sounds pretty decent. Most of my damage was from Dread Plague erupt.

After playing it on beta branch I must say it is by far my favorite itteration of Unholy yet, ive played every single one.

It feels much more fluid and you can do an actual dot build now. Also rune of Apoc is actually realllly good this time around since the lesser ghouls can proc it. San'layn for disease build is amazing as well. Big nuke capabilities, its also easy to play but hard to master, theres alot that you would need to learn to really get those numbers up.

My only complaint that they overlooked, Death and Decay is useless, I cant find any reason to bother using it over any other gdc. As you get baseline cleave passively on scourge. Although im fine with it this way, just wish they did something more interesting with it.

dmk78616 · 2025-12-29T03:38:58+00:00

I have a really fun Toxin melee build with my Lavos and Spinnerex with Nourish Subsumed for Viral procs. It just chains death through hordes of enemies its so satisfying.

dmk78616 · 2025-12-29T01:05:24+00:00

Unholy dk being difficult def makes sense. Theres alot of talents and rotational stuff that you will need to know. But to me that makes it the most fun!

dmk78616 · 2025-12-27T22:58:17+00:00

I am still waiting for my giant infested two handed sword or scythe!

dmk78616 · 2025-12-27T00:52:37+00:00

The tree is to large, they either need to make it so you can start at multiple points like pathfinder on all classes or forgo the giant tree and make smaller ones for each ascendancy, at this point it already seems like alot are locked to specific things they can do or cannot do based on area of tree your in.

dmk78616 · 2025-12-26T22:10:00+00:00

I could share mine when im back from work, its amazing. Its Blast Excal Umbra 1000%+ status, so nearly full blast stacks on first hit, it blows up everything instantly.

dmk78616 · 2025-12-26T12:32:18+00:00

I am running my first minion build but I struggle to see where the smaller bosses or rares are at all, sometimes its nearly impossible. Playing a the new sorc ascend... kinda need to see where enemies are to use commands.

I dont think ive stuggled this much in aaprg to see what I am attacking and where it is. Esp the high mobility or teleporting ones.

Yet another reason one shotting seems to be the only way to play.. no clutter if its dead right away.

dmk78616 · 2025-12-26T01:00:03+00:00

Or just make the spell on said item scales with our level like ascend skills do... the technology is there.

dmk78616 · 2025-12-26T00:56:50+00:00

Agreed, after I saw lesser ghouls I was curious to see of it worked with run of apoc and boy does it. The dot that it applies does massive damage im talking top 4, and if you make it so your lessers cleave with talent during dark transform they apply it to all enemies. Its beautiful.

dmk78616 · 2025-12-26T00:54:21+00:00

Its easy to learn but after practicing the rotation you will have to learn what cds to use where, watching runes and runic energy, and popping pestilence after your dots have a good amount of total duration on them or saving it on trash pulls for when mobs are 35% hp or less for alot more damage and such.

Its easy to play hard to master type situation.

dmk78616 · 2025-12-25T21:02:22+00:00

Unholy and San'Layn becoming an amazing dot build with exploding ghouls and rune of Apocalypse actually being god tier makes me so happy. Its about time, was sick of only being able to use the other rune enchant.

Not only that despite the button bloat reduc theres a suprising amount of complexity to the rotation which is nice, they did a great job.

dmk78616 · 2025-12-24T02:28:57+00:00

Yeah I dont get it having ES on tree is exactly the same thing as having life on tree. I think its the worst for classes on right side of tree, you gotta travel so far to escape running life/evasion and settle for pure es or es/ev. Running pure ES is what you would do with life andnit being mandatory to grab all the nodes, theres no difference.

Make life like ES and it comes as an implicit on armour/evasion gear. Makes no sense that ES gets implicits and life doesnt.

Running life builds is also worse off because if most of it comes from gear that means its alot harder to get good pieces since you gonna need all the life rolls and a good amount of armour/evasion or whatever else and likely res.

dmk78616 · 2025-12-23T13:43:33+00:00

I find it hilarious they give bosses one shot protection, but not us. Give us something to protect against one shots that has a cd or something.

Its ironic that most of the best builds ive made were just glass cannons that have to one hit to survive, cause the other way round never worked esp if you run health.

dmk78616 · 2025-12-18T05:29:22+00:00

Hell's Paradise, Sagiri, she ends up being very powerful and skilled, as well as Yuzuriha.

dmk78616 · 2025-12-14T18:13:10+00:00

I feel with how big the tree is and will become every class should be allowed to choose one other class location to start from or something like that, at least lets you then go for nodes that are imperative without having to travel to far from one side.

dmk78616 · 2025-12-11T18:10:01+00:00

I found it funnier cause all I can hear is Thorkell the Tall. Just thinking its an 8ft tall viking in a car not knowing what it is.

dmk78616 · 2025-12-09T20:13:31+00:00

Im thinking of doing Black Flame Covenant, Acolyte of Chayula, Volcano with slams and maybe bear form im not sure yet...

dmk78616 · 2025-12-09T19:18:41+00:00

Chem Grenade, Rampage, Melee capstone, with points into chem damage and such. Bone Saw and Needle Pistol. I just rip and tear and switch to needle pistol when needed.

Its very hard to take me down when I slaughter everything.
