WTF HAPPENED WITH THE NEW BLACKSMITH OMG

I was in Spider Forest killing him like 40 other times and suddenly ZOMBIES EVERYWHERE and they explode insta because my burnings are fucking sweet and then BOOM MASSIVE AOE CHAOS DOT. Holy crap that life bar went down like a goddamn rollercoaster.

I play in Nemesis and this has been my most near-death experience by far. Logged out with 3% health and managed to survive. Be EXTREMELY CAREFUL with this son of a ****.

HOLY MACARRONI I'M SO SCARED

Hi,

I was discussing this build with someone, and they said that curses are much less effective, maybe 50% less effective, on bosses and uniques (and maybe rares).

Since this build can absolutely destroy mobs without curses (I know i forget to cast them a lot), and the curses have a lot less effectiveness on the bosses which are the hard part, the idea was that maybe the hex nodes could be put to better use, perhaps as more life.

Any thoughts ?

Are you using rejuv totems and animation flasks?

That 3% max resist won't be as effective as 200+ life regen from vit.

If your using the cod zombie setup those bosses should die within seconds.

I spent 100 Alterations just to get 1 Seething Animation Flask.. >_<

I can't even imagine having 5 of them. Was my 2nd one, first took me like 10 or so.

When doing Piety/Dominus, I should use Purity of Lightning Aura over Vitality, right? Or else my BMs will get annihilated...

Yes, I've got Rejuv/Vitality/Animation Flasks.

It's not "3% max resist", it's 37% Resists. Spectres don't have high resists like Zombies do. So with Purity, that only gives 41% Resists. So BMs/Evangelists' Cold/Lightning isn't capped..

=I believe what Matt is saying is: Purity of Elements + Vitality > the other 3 purities. When he says 3% he's talking about the 3% increase from the 3 Purities themselves over Elements. They give a bit more than PoE and, don't quote me on this, but I believe Spectres do not suffer from the Resist loss the player gets from Merciless. Unless you're talking about running all 4 Purity auras at once in which case I'd still say Vitality. The only times my BMs have died on Piety are when my FPS tanks to sub 10

I meant Purity+Purity of Lightning, so that BMs get capped Lightning for Map Piety/Dominus, so they don't get instagibbed.

And I'd either drop Discipline or Vitality, to run Purity of Light. Discipline is a nice buffer for minions too, roughly = to Vitality running for 3 seconds.

And yes, minions don't suffer from Merciless Resist loss. Zombie default is 32/64/32, which means that with Purity of Elements alone, Zombies get to 73% Resists, WITHOUT the Resists from Mon'Tregul's (which would really just overcap them for Curses.) BMs have 64/0/0 Resists as far as I can tell, and Evangelists are 32/32/32 I believe, not sure...

As you can see BMs would only have 75/41/41, and be susceptible to Lightning Damage (since Cold isn't that big of a deal, can't Shock Stack/get huge crits), was why I was considering it vs Dominus.
