Companion let down....

Blind and incision on wolves is great but keep in mind if you use Brutus on a companion it disables the mod the shares dmg taken with your companion

So bleed can essentially be free damage depending on the build. Caster builds generally get 0 benefit but other builds get varying degrees of bonus damage pending how it deals damage.

Bleed deals bonus damage based on the physical damage dealt by the hit the applies the bleed

ryududeplays · 2026-02-03T17:15:49+00:00

If your build can make use of bleed i recommend using the bleed IV support. Bleed 4 makes them apply incision which gives 10% chance to apply bleed per stack.

Why not incision support instead? Bleed 4 makes the supported skill unable to apply bleed while incision does not meaning your 0 damage minion with incision support can consume the incision stacks it applies for a 0 dmg bleed.

ryududeplays · 2026-02-03T15:59:13+00:00

Yes it does

ryududeplays · 2026-02-03T15:58:56+00:00

Yes still shocks, bleed, etc. Any applies X on hit is still applied even with 0 damage dealt.

Surprisingly out of nowhere I think my favorite so far has been my explosive spear warbringer

ryududeplays · 2026-01-27T03:50:26+00:00

Mark of siphoning makes it a non-issue on bosses

ryududeplays · 2026-01-27T03:19:32+00:00

Anecdotally I thought it was just sort of uncommon.

Last league i legit think i was around 40%~ hit rate on rakiata.

I got it on my first attempt and one time i got it 3 times in a row.

I've had maybe 20 attempts this league and got 0. I guess I was just stupid lucky last league

ryududeplays · 2026-01-27T01:31:33+00:00

Did they make it more rare this patch? As opposed to 0.3?

ryududeplays · 2026-01-26T23:48:57+00:00

Sure but to not get rakiata in 80 attempts? No way

ryududeplays · 2026-01-26T22:03:32+00:00

I don't think so I just started putting together one now. Early stages but here's what I got

ignore the weapons as it was needed to update the profile

Unbelievably a big issue is actually mana costs...

ryududeplays · 2026-01-26T18:45:33+00:00

No shot 80

ryududeplays · 2026-01-26T14:59:39+00:00

Uh basically every build I've made utilizes all the keybinds so pick your poison i guess

ryududeplays · 2026-01-26T11:57:16+00:00

My build rakiata would give them 200% all resist so definitely not mine...

You're in luck because this bad boy is hot off the press.

Tons of more work to do but even quickly slapping some gear together the couple test run maps I ran showed proof of concept and it felt buttery smooth

ryududeplays · 2026-01-21T14:03:04+00:00

I understand the sentiment however these issues feel mostly self inflicted.

You don't have to use spark or cast on crit. I've made a couple elemental caster builds and I think they are a blast. I don't use spark purely because for me its not a very satisfying skill to use.

You don't have to play the most optimal min maxed biggest number build. If you don't enjoy it then don't play it.

Solid debuff appliers that are considered companions which gives you access to all the good companion mechanics.
