Chaos Monk Feedback - Darkness 1st Node is equivalent to "Ghost Dance" on the average Monk
|
Darkness gives 500 darkness at Lv80.
I have 6000 evasion rating at Lv80. (Also, 2000 ES). "Ghost Dance" is a spirit skill that costs 30 spirit. It restores 5% of your evasion rating, refreshing once every 3.2s at a Lv17 spirit gem, or 3 charges per 10sec. If I am hit 3 times in a 10 sec period, I restore 900 ES from Ghost Dance. I have 500 extra "life" with Darkness, every 10 seconds. Darkness costs 100 spirit. Not taking Darkness means I can run ghost dance + blasphemy temp chains for 100 spirit. My conclusion: Darkness sucks. It's only good for adding chaos damage. To add damage consistently with darkness, you need to not get hit. So it's best for ranged builds. I continue to be disappointed by this ascendency :D. Please buff it!

If darkness could be used like spirit it would be much more enjoyable to play and open up more playstyles for monk.

" Its worse, Darkness removes infinite spirit. You cannot get any benefit from anything that scales spirit. You could earn up to 200+ with your Ammy+Armor but you lose it all with Darkness. So you're not just losing 100 you're losing the opportunity to run more than 100 and stack up extra spirit gems. |

The more I played around with this ascendency the more I got to the conclusion that it shouldn't have been released yet
It has no support, it does nothing that Invoker can't do much better Idk why we got it when it's so clearly in a half finished state Last edited by ryo3000#2773 on Jan 24, 2025, 11:28:26 PM
