Secret of High Damage - Its Not High Resonance - Araknea Showcase It - Diablo Immortal

[@ApollyonGaming]

Not sure why some people are trying to come up with different things to talk about when this video is about High Res Vs Low Res Optimal gem setup. I have been asked 1000 times about the builds I use and the damage I showcase in my videos. Can it be done with a 2k res, or is it just my Res? Today, Araknea showed that it's possible. Not only has he completed Challenge Rift 436 with 730 less CR, but he also perform well in PvP against players with even 3-4k+ res.

Because we are free to talk about what we want to talk about this is internet bro, if someone is in need of answers that is some how related to the game even if its not really directly related to the content of your video they can ask it. Clearly the build you have shown has some gears awakened and some don't know if they can do it while being f2p. You know not every one who watches your video are spenders and not all who watches your video knows everything about the game. Be helpful to the players asking legit questions about the game, what kind of DI partner are you? Attacking players who need help just because of asking off topic questions. Just be thankful people are commenting on your videos, related or not related it helps your algorithm

Thank you for your answer, let's just take something into account, I have never bought anything in the game nor will I, so I can't change gems because it would take me 5 months to raise one to the level I already have, maybe that's where my problem is.

That was really impressive from Araknea, I saw another DH with slightly less 2800 reso dealing up to 2.5m damage. That was awesome too.

Great video as alway! As a fellow wizard, would you share yours and Araknea’s item reforge bonus sets please? Also, would be cool to see the Additional Attributes section and cursed properties! :D I still don’t know what reforge bonus to aim for still. Thank you for all your content

[@KonstantinosChiotakis]

Great video. Thanks for this. I have been testing different gems lately to find optimal dmg output (even just for the dummy). Which set items were you using in your video? Which ones Araknea? Many thanks

[@miroburchuladze1160]

Wonderful video great job ! Really great job

[@glowyrm]

I will boil this all down and put it simply as possible. Resonance increases damage only because of how it works. I feel that many don't realize what the reso is actually doing. It increases the BASE attribute on gear. So the slots that have damage on them like Head and Gloves have the damage number on them increased. The pieces that have life have that number increased. That is the only interaction resonance has. That's why when comparing characters that are within a 1-2k difference you will find that they can both do well ALL OTHER THINGS BEING EQUAL. That right there sums up this entire conversation.

[@puddinManion]

Thank u I'm a low end spender heading for about 2500-3000k. My budget will get me say r4 r5 maybe r6 on 3*. Am I better going for 3*-r5 area or am I better going r10 on 2* 1*.

[@gaminghighco5342]

Would crit hit chance and dmg be causing a bit of damage difference here?

[@allenboyrazian4233]

Does Araknea have a build video on that?

[@HansSevilla]

Of course the higher reso player will still have higher total damage if he uses the optimal gem setup lol. So it's still resonance!

[@ApollyonGaming]

My gem setup isn't bad, already using some of the best 5* gems.

[@tanindunn8379]

You're argument is in the details. Does he have lower res. then you? Yes. But he has 5 gems maxed, and awakened slots. So you can argue its not the res. because it isn't. But that's a detail, as maxed gems increase dmg and res. Especially when awakened. Does it matter that he used 2 star gems over 5 star? No. What matters is the maxed gems and awakened slots. Maxed gear helps too. It's all relative. Put 2 star gems in at level 5 or 6 with no awakened slots, his damage would decrease, drastically. So you're wrong about res. It definitely plays a part in the dmg output, as you get res. by maxing gems.

[@ApollyonGaming]

"Can a 2k Resonance player do as much damage as a 4k Resonance player? The answer is yes, when using the optimal gem setup. A character built with proper magic attributes and the best 1-star and 2-star gem setup will always outperform a character that isn't built correctly. Now, one can find a way to come up with a few loopholes, but the fact remains the same: this person has not even spent half of what I have, and still, they are performing better than my high resonance, and my gem setup isn't bad either, far from it. They can perform exceptionally well in PVE and do the same versus players with 3-4k resonance.

[@tanindunn8379]

@@ApollyonGaming the point I'm making is damage and res. derive from the same thing, maxed gems and awakened slots. The only reason his res. is lower is because he used 2 star gems. But they're maxed, and awakened. Res. and damage aren't separate things, they go hand in hand. The higher the res. the more damage, the more damage done is because of higher res. Because the higher the res. the higher the gems have been leveled. Your video proves what I'm saying to be true. Dmg and res. aren't separate entities, they go hard in hand.

[@ApollyonGaming]

@@tanindunn8379 More resonance means more base damage and life, which can be helpful in PvP. However, if you have higher resonance and secondary stats, you will be placed in higher resonance lobbies. This is why even now, whales are smurfing by replacing their 5-star gems with fully awakened 2-star gems that have 4-5k resonance and high secondary attributes. They end up dominating players with much higher resonance. So, if someone is not a big spender, they should build their account this way and not chase resonance for more base damage/life, as it will not necessarily make them stronger.

[@jsday187]

its not the resonance. remove it entirely and the % dmg buffs would still do more effective dmg.

Would like to see Araknea in pvp, because crit chance will drop a lot and many other gems' powers will drop by 65%+. In pvp the 2k higher reso player should smash Araknea, if both are at similar skill level in pvp.

[@JohnBryce26]

He doesn't do pvp, full pve as far as I remember

[@ToniTROEGER]

Araknea here, I’ve stopped doing pvp a good while ago, but there’s a pvp video from me on Lida’s channel, in case you wanna see

[@Darkdalia]

Not necessarily- nowadays I see players with reso lower than myself murdering everyone in pvp. Usually a mix of skills, survivability and awakened 1 or 2 star gems 😅

[@jsday187]

gem effects and everything else that gets reduced is by 70%

[@HolyMolyJC]

You should compare armor pen between the two of you as well

That does not matter when we are testing the damage versus a dummy; the test dummy has no armor/resistance.

[@hazori9551]

@@ApollyonGaming Except, arm pen scaling also scales your crit hit dmg, which ignores armor of the enemies anyway. Remove all your arm pen and test again, I'm sure you won't even do a third of your current damage.

[@nikolayd.3399]

What about survivability?

[@rexchapman2000]

What is optimal gem set up? U keep saying optimal, but dont explain what it is. What level are your friends secondary gems?

[@ApollyonGaming]

The optimal gem setup involves using the best combination of 1-star Gems, 2-star Gems, and ranking them up to 10. Afterward, spending some to awaken them further increases the damage. Even a player like myself can't match that level of damage, as showcased in this video. Regarding secondary attributes, mine might be a bit higher in terms of Armor and Armor Pen, but it's important to note that during a damage test, secondary attributes have no effect on the test damage as the dummy has no Armor/Resistance.

[@joy2world97]

I see you mentioned whale player Smurfing in pvp. Can you explain the benefits of it?

[@ApollyonGaming]

By lowering their resonance, they enter lower resonance lobbies with their fully awakened 2-Star gems and high secondary attributes. Even when facing players with 1-2k higher resonance, they still dominate them. Some of them have win rates as high as 90%. There are also posts about it on Reddit now.

[@mirrormirrorpool2935]

[@gertsakk6543]

Im free to play ( buying only battle pass every month) monk 1470 reso doing 17mil in 10 sec ;) gems are just 1 part of char build , i see alot of peoples running in cr and 5 star gems for high reso . Dmg at 3k reso is to be honest crap.

[@ApollyonGaming]

For F2P players, their best bet is to farm the daily 12 Unbound gems from a party of 4 players (Dungeons/Open World Farm) and do the weekly 21 hidden lairs for unbound gems. They can then sell them on the market and use the platinum to buy gem power and upgrade their proper 1-star and 2-star gems to rank 10. There are a few completely F2P players now with over 2k resonance , but it's important to note that they might have been playing for a bit longer and grinding everything weekly to min-max their platinum.

You guys and your 20 sec test lmao. This is great to show case burst only for fights that don’t last long but ideal it’s 30 sec minimum or 60 sec for a better idea of how much sustain damage you are actually doing. Also the whole idea of keep your reso low and secondary stats high is false. I tried it and no it does not help but what I did verify is that this game like many other pvp games has a stupid mmr system that punishes you. Meaning the better you perform the more likely it will match you up with bad teams/comps to make it impossible to win. When I had low to mid 2k reso with 3k secondaries I was carrying every game even vs players double to triple my reso so long as their secondaries wasn’t whale level like 4-5k+ Even vs whale teams I did pretty well so long as the team comps are pretty even. But last few days since I been completely dominating 99% my games has been one sided losses that has zero chances of winning killing my WR%. This crap is not new to me in pvp. These companies use a trashy mmr system to punish players.

[@2112jp]

You can’t even find Araknea in leaderboards for wizzy…it could be that he isn’t in the same server as Apollo…but that clan sounds familiar.

[@DeJaVu804]

@@2112jp IDK about that but I know when people only show burst dmg it’s mainly bc their damage falls off significantly at 60 sec. I can tell just by looking at their setup+skills that this would be the case since they are using 2 pc BOE with no skill to consistently proc this effect other than legendary gems. I use a similar setup for dungeon just bc I know that fights do not last long at all. So a bunch of casual players going to watch this and copy it not ever testing or knowing what it’s only good for which is short fights.

@@2112jp "Araknea was able to beat Challenge Rift 406 before the changes with his low combat rating. He has more damage compared to me even if we do a 1-minute long test. I cannot help people who do not want to be helped and still claim that High Reso will always do more damage, which isn't true at all. Even some whales are smurfing and using 2-star gems with fully awakened abilities and high secondary stats to perform better in PVP.
