Both my empowers deranked to level 2 sadly. But, yeah feels good with ED. Just started using a +1 arrow Drillneck, extra coverage is pretty nice. Thaks for the extra information and confirmations of stuff.	Posted by lif44#2718 on Dec 26, 2015, 3:21:12 PM Quote this Post
Vulnerability is a %more multiplier because it doesnt affect you, it's a debuff on the enemy.	Posted by Marttern#7513 on Dec 26, 2015, 3:44:09 PM Quote this Post

If you had 300% before, and you add 33%, its about an 11% net increase, whereas now if you have 700-800% total increase, that same 33% is only about 3-4%. That being said, it is still the best curse. As a secondary one, enfeeble, temp chains, etc are all viable defensive options. Vulnerability is a MORE multiplier, not an increased. While the wording says "Cursed enemies take X% increased damage" it does not increase your damage, but increases their damage taken - thus it is a more multiplier. That means if you have 700-800% increased damage Vulnerability nets you a relative 21-24% damage - increased relative to enemies that haven't been cursed. Thanks for the catch. Will edit this when I get home. Still would use it regardless but that wording needs to be changed. Thanks!	Posted by Belton#3929 on Dec 26, 2015, 3:59:00 PM Quote this Post
Fixed. Apologize for error- doing this from my phone amidst holiday festivities definitely shouldn't have let that slip through. Will go over numbers / Wording when I get to a computer and do an edit.	Posted by Belton#3929 on Dec 26, 2015, 5:09:20 PM Quote this Post
You could aim for leo's ring and belt if it doesnt fuck your res.	Posted by arherter#3366 on Dec 26, 2015, 6:00:36 PM Quote this Post
Anybody have any comments on wither + spell totem? Is it not worth the 2 slots for the extra damage? It seems to be pretty useful on bosses.	Posted by Windrose#3695 on Dec 26, 2015, 6:47:51 PM Quote this Post
Great job with the guide. Any chance for leveling trees?	Posted by Reisak#2094 on Dec 26, 2015, 7:17:31 PM Quote this Post

Yeah definitely, I've just been jumping house to house for the holidays so I haven't had an opportunity to get down to them yet. Will definitely be added in the near future	Posted by Belton#3929 on Dec 26, 2015, 7:24:01 PM Quote this Post

I've heard pretty good things about this combination- definitely something I will check out in a few days. Travelling south with the woman for the next week or so, so I wont be able to do any in-game testing until I'm back, but will let you know how its worked out once I get the chance to test it.
