Im pretty sure that amulet will lose the average crit build dps.


It's obviously not designed for the average crit build.

Voltaxic is pretty bad for the average bow build. If you stack physical % nodes, you're going nowhere fast.

This seems to be designed around Puncture and Burning damage. To keep very big crits on the target for the damage over time and not worry about the small non-crit damage.


I'm not sure how a puncture or burning damage build would ever manage to crit wearing this amulet. You would have to fish for crits......a lot.

I sill can't help but feel that either the multiplier needed to say more, or the critical strike chance needed to say reduced.

This amulet just makes no sense whatsoever.... was this a GGG unique or if not will the creator chime in?
I totally agree.

I'm pretty sure it's entirely impossible for this amulet to increase a characters DPS regardless of their stats.

I think that —like you said— it should be changed to 60% reduced crit chance.

In that case, it makes it a reasonable amulet.

To break even with a 70% multiplier and 20% crit chance amulet you'd need roughly at least 45% crit chance and/or less than 500% crit multiplier (that is including the IDEAL benefit of athe culling strike).

If specced into crit, it's not hard to hit 45% crit chance with the right gear and passives (depending on the weapon/spell used), so it would be viable if changed to reduced, but still not particularly overpowered. At high crit chances (~80%), it just adds about 11% more damage ( IDEALLY; if you're killing things in less than 9 shots it will be substantially less useful) from the culling effect and roughly breaks even with the multiplier and crit chance and non-crit reduced damage.

So overall it would be valuable for those who could hit high crit chances, but not otherwise. Even then it would only be for the damage hogs, not anyone who cares about defense or rarity/quantity since this doesn't give any


For most high-DPS crit builds who are soloing, the benefit of culling is probably closer to something really bad like 2-3% more damage, not 11%.

Now I get it. It's a CHALLENGE unique.
In Dark Souls there is a ring that halves your life and doesn't give you anything in return.
This one nerfs your damage and doesn't give you anything good.

In the Signature Race for Season Six, everyone starts off equipped with this and can't take it off.
When do we get to see the armor linked? xD

I know we can already see it in the video, but is it that rare that it is not yet found?

So, you really doubt what is literally written on the item?

Are you perhaps saying that the item posted was photoshopped and it is a troll post?

considering how high that would make multiplier, (easily over 1200%), that would make the culling strike useless for most things, and of nearly no use for anything else (unique/rare monsters). It would still be a really bad amulet, because non-crits would still deal junk damage and would still be far more common than crit hits.

Well now that there's one on page one.. it's not. But... were there ever a unique so far that was obviously this bad? That barely anyone can make *any* use of it? Can a person with it, wear it and test this?
