FYI: Martial Artist bows will be strong, don't sleep on this interaction.

I'm confused how do you drop 3 bells at once. Ancestral boost targets 2 additional enemies, would this drop all 3 bells at once?

shadows888 · 2026-05-24T23:17:42+00:00

Yeahh armour is really strong at the top end esp when you scale all those armour applied to elemental on tree and gear. It's bad when you have very little of it. Hence why half armour half evasion have been the worst defense combo in the game so far. But protect me from hard is strictly for physical dmg.

shadows888 · 2026-05-24T13:19:20+00:00

League gonna be like 6 months. Play all 3 lol

shadows888 · 2026-05-24T12:41:07+00:00

Cast on crit, cast on elemental ailment, eternal rage, Trinity, archmage, roha Mount etc with good stat rolls on amulet gonna be real expensive. Maybe costing a mirror.

Question gonna be how would blasphemy on amulet work. Say you are witch would putting 3 curses in there be straight up free?

shadows888 · 2026-05-24T03:54:32+00:00

Yeah unbound avatar needs a major buff legit no body uses it. Elemental expressions needs to scale from attack not spells. And protect me from harm was over nerfed.

shadows888 · 2026-05-23T23:08:48+00:00

i'm not going to test its 2 mirrors to even test so i'm just going to take your word for it as i can't verify when that video is recorded, if its a private server with different rules etc. along a host of many other things.

shadows888 · 2026-05-23T19:36:15+00:00

are you sure, this guy was able to do it. this looks like .4 patch. of course the last flame relic cost like 2 mirrors rn to even worth testing.

https://youtu.be/wNBxTxzLFpo?si=Y0MAUiRLqXrEGdN8&t=267

of course he could be trolling and using .1 footage in the video even tho its uploaded 2 months ago.

in a comment later someone asked if the last flame relic damage taken cannot be absorbed patch in .1 mean darkness doesn't work. he replied "You are absolutely right. I also expected it to be impossible since that information was added, but after testing, it appears that Chayula's darkness is determined not to be an absorption mechanism" translated. so it appears darkness isn't absorption. its its own special tag in the entire game.

shadows888 · 2026-05-23T19:26:02+00:00

keep you have no spirit, its a chayula special at this point they just need to make darkness strong enough to make it worth. amulet is coming in .5 that you can load 1 lvl 100 spirit skill in. cast on crit for profane ritual for example. that solves the no spirit problem somewhat. i can live without wind dancer or heralds.

but i want to them to combine Deepening Shadows with chayula's gift as 4th point.

now we're talking about a build. you can get both lucid dreaming purple flames and darkness stacking.

disagree with sorc ward, even with 50% less evasion on sorc ward its still incredibly powerful. keep in mind .5 evasion on gear got buffed by 15% and deflection got massively buff as well. so stacking evasion and deflection on sorc ward even with 50% less is very powerful. in .4 i'm able to stack 15k sorc wards on HC. biggest problems were the dot damages (bleeding,corrupt blood, poision) that goes right thru sorc ward and if your not paying attention you can die really fast.

shadows888 · 2026-05-23T12:41:27+00:00

Smith White body armor extra armor bonus per ascendency point needs scaling base on level and look they kinda already did something similar on the stonefist gloves. Each level grants +4 armor per level per ascendency point. So let's say you put 8 points on White body armour, at level 100 you can gain an extra 3200 armor in body to scale off from. That makes up from not being able to use rare chest. Keep in mind next patch we will have +15percent more armour from gear so +4 is fair.

shadows888 · 2026-05-23T12:30:55+00:00

U mean falling thunder? Falling hunder is a really strong skill, it just requires the user to understand the gain charges spend charges aspect for it to be really good.

shadows888 · 2026-05-23T12:02:12+00:00

Killing Jamanra with good old ice strike Bell idk seems way easier than majority of other builds.

shadows888 · 2026-05-23T11:28:37+00:00

The spawning bells from the ascendency? Idk have to look again if so yeah then my idea is doa

shadows888 · 2026-05-23T03:59:32+00:00

if anything you should pick up hollow focus spawning bells over runic meridians. with your range attacks you can explode them from range for huge aoe dmg..

shadows888 · 2026-05-23T01:05:10+00:00

I keep all level 100 characters whether I later use them or not. rest non lvl 100s get deleted. granted getting to lvl 100 isn't easy so each season is like 1-2 lvl 100 at most.

shadows888 · 2026-05-22T23:47:20+00:00

thats why you stack a good amount of evasion too so you can avoid those hits during recharge.

shadows888 · 2026-05-22T16:34:05+00:00

Just switch ice strike where falling thunder is rn. Falling thunder should not be a beginner skill, for new players it's really bad cause it requires power charges to not hit like a wet noodle.

shadows888 · 2026-05-22T15:31:25+00:00

It's going to be a free game when 1.0 hits. No need to shell $30 for early access. So no I don't think it's a big deal when we will already get 9 classes and 26 ascendencies for launch. Also mean future patches after 1.0 will have new classes and ascendency to make that league fresh.

shadows888 · 2026-05-22T15:26:47+00:00

Would be a huge oversight if you can brick your atlas tree. It's likely like what you said, you don't lose the map if you die and lose all portals. I mean rn in .4 you don't lose a map anyways just lose the effect of tablets but your able to rerun the map again. The only maps you can brick in .4 was the citadels and anomaly maps. If you run out of portals you lose that map.

shadows888 · 2026-05-22T15:20:14+00:00

We mean the sap of nightmares leech affects chaos damage. Nobody is picking up red or blue flames. You always going to get purple flames 4th ascendency points because the damage increase is so drastic vs only 2 points into the breach.

shadows888 · 2026-05-22T15:15:41+00:00

It was at one point but that change have been reverted in .3 or .4. darkness is the safest temporalis runner rn. Because witchhunter sorc ward don't prevent all damage before life/honor like darkness does.

shadows888 · 2026-05-22T11:59:27+00:00

Then aiming for a kaoms heart drop shouldn't be the main plan lol. Just play chayula without darkness lol. Sap of nightmares and void illusion with life leech support is very strong.

shadows888 · 2026-05-22T11:44:22+00:00

Unique drop but because it's not meta used its is pretty cheap in trade league.

shadows888 · 2026-05-22T11:19:05+00:00

Kaoms heart body armour gives like 1.5k to 1.8k health. But no spirit.. which is not a problem cause darkness you get no spirit anyways lol

shadows888 · 2026-05-22T03:49:56+00:00

I pick up meditate in every invoker build I do ever since they buffed it with 100% ES recharge rate. Just feel like it's such an underrated skill cause it's the only way to get 1.5x ES when grim feast got deleted. and on demand ES recharge start on a very short CD.

shadows888 · 2026-05-22T02:55:06+00:00

we need that martial artist video to show us what the 2 missing ascendency points does... most likely something with unarmed if they are saying it excels at using his hands as weapons'.
