Thats quite long, 9 years
Actually i played this game before the covid pandemic outbreak but i stopped 'coz i don’t know how to play yet until i found this page
I learned a lot just from playing and reading the Codex, while reading the Forum let me learn things not in the Codex or that I was thinking of testing for.
the last few years, I’ve been reading some of the posts & threads from the Beta Testing days. much of the early posts are outdated due to changes from the developters, but give lots of insight to certain builds.
another fun thing is discovering a change that was made and why it was made, or why something was made stronger or weaker.
Just sharing my latest achievements A little grind more to go, and I will have enough crystal stones and mythstones, then I will switch to a crushing flame build to climb a higher floor.
I’m curious about this crushing flame build and how much damage it causes.
Mind any suggestions about this build? I’m a fan of warrior heroes and I want to use hammers and horns in my weapons.
What are the best set of affixes, legend affixes, crystal affixes, talents, natures, etc. that best suit this build?
Thank you in advance to those who will answer
Demonic Set works good with Crushing Flames, and can be rolled with Amethyst.
Execute affix works like Demonic and is multiplied with it if you have both, but it can not be rolled with Ruby.
it looks like Immolate has been changed a little, so use Inferno (5) Set to double the duration of Fire DoT from 2 seconds to 4 seconds.
for those who are wondering, total damage with Immolate is lower than before, but with Blistering total damage is higher than before.
there are many combinations, so it’s really up to you to figure out what works best with the build idea you are aiming for. look in the Codex to see what the different affixes & Talents do, and do a Search for Hammer and/or Horn to see what others have shared.
I thought this blistering effect works like the blight effect, the more blight/blistering , the more damage it causes. But this blistering affix has this bleeding effect. So it really needs this immolation damage affix to increase its damage output.
Immolate used to do 100% of Fire DMG every second for 4 seconds. Fire DoT does 40% of Fire DMG every second for 2 seconds.
Immolate now increases Fire DoT by +100%. the big downside for this is the loss of DMG, since Fire DoT is 40% of Fire DMG and only lasts 2 seconds.
the way to get that lost DMG back is to use either Inferno (5) Set for 4 second Fire DoT, Blistering (I did the math, and Blistering will do A LOT more DMG than before) or both.
I think one reason this was done is because of the Legend +50% Immolate (can’t roll with Ruby), Crushing Flames Set +25% Immolate per Rank, and Crushing Flames Set Bonus giving 400% Immolate DMG. also, Fire DoT now affects both Immolate & Blistering instead of 2 different DMG mechanics.
Bro I literally just joined so I could ask you about your equipment. Im currently at floor 300 and I die in one hit. I saw your post a few days ago without an account so I screenshotted your stuff hoping I’d stumble upon them but I haven’t yet and now that explains it lmaoo
