Why is Mageblood considered so good?

I'm sure the last few percent is really going to transform everything! Go from meh to unbelievable because it's Armadillo instead of abalone.

how do you own a mageblood yet know nothing about the game? that's the whole point of mageblood, you craft increased effect prefixes on all flasks, then get whatever you want on suffixes, which allows you to skip resists and stuff. you don't make a build and randomly throw a mageblood in, you're supposed to plan your gear and make the build around mageblood

There's always some know it all in the comments telling everybody they are doing it wrong, blah blah blah.


I'm basically following this build below give or take. I'll make a few changes as I don't like to copy exactly, but more or less, this is what it looks like and those flasks are actually the best for the build. The tree provides most of the other mitigation, no need for those flask mods. Mine aren't rolled up perfect yet, that's annoying as #%$# to do, but they are the right ones that best suits the build

So far Mageblood is just ok, but it's not a whole lot better than just the standard unique flasks. Anybody who thinks otherwise probably doesn't have the gear to test it themselves. It's a SLIGHT bonus overall, that's it

then roll them with increased effect and t1/t2 suffixes, or just buy the flasks, and you'll see the difference it makes. mageblood is op because it makes boss fights trivial, while you lose your unique flasks in a few seconds and cant get the charges back

That's interesting. You actually thought that I could afford all the other gear, but I can't afford to buy a flask?

THAT'S your contribution to this thread? Hmm...

considering how crap your flasks are, yes.

If your belt said 5k armour, 100% movespeed, 40% less cold taken, 100% all elemental resistances would it convince you?

Good stygian with strong uniques on a build that leverages them isn't that far behind offensively but for defences mageblood is monumentally busted as it can solve almost any build deficiency by itself.

If you are general mapping I personally think HH is better and stygians close as you won't run out of charges.

For real bosses Mageblood miles infront though.

No, why would it? If you read off the stats on 4 unique flasks it sounds pretty awesome as well.

Then that is why, you are assuming you have 100% flask uptime if you are right its fine, if you are wrong your actual numbers are miles off and everyone knows you are wrong which is why MB is considered so good.

It isn't complicated its been laid out for you
