[@villainplaying]

Try to use Davrin and Emmrich. Last one is permanently increases power of your curses while he's in team (passive bonus from Veilguard master skill). So this can be even stronger. Also, try to build up your nectotic around crit damage and momentum. You'll be surprised. I've dealt 6-7k damage to a dragons weakspots from SINGLE sword swing. Like a knife through a butter. Aaand, there is a charm in your dagger that gives you 100% of momentum (fills you with full bar + passive with 10% skill damage) upon acrivation with cooldown ~30 seconds. This is crazy. Try it :) I'm just nuking everything in this game with necro/crit/momentum build on hardest difficulty.

Can you give us more details about the crit and momentum build and also the "charm"?

[@mikefaz2696]

I picked that bleed dagger early on and I never stopped using it. Thanks for the tips on the rest of the setup.

[@crazy-tommy]

There are so many ways to make builds in this game. On my Warrior I currently do a shield bash / shield toss tank build, which stacks defense and uses the Spectral Bulwark ability to add +50% defense. The main source of damage is the Best Defense passive on the Champion specialization to add 50% of your total defense to your shield damage which applies to shield toss and shield bashes. I combine this with very high stagger, eliminate bonuses and the helmet that makes your damage scale with your rage. At the moment I mostly ignore detonations and afflictions but might look into this - especially as Champion has a lot of fire/burn stuff and I could use the Endless Fire passive to turn Deadly Ground and Whirlwind into fire skills.

[@Makoto03]

Thank you. I love using the rogue class.

[@redcriminal7032]

Afflictions and double time slow mages carried me through a Lvl40 undead dragon on nightmare difficulty. I was 20 lvls under for the fight. Also found a bow with a legendary effect that increases the potency of necrotic by 20% per stack.

[@chaoticinfamy6462]

The only downside of that bow is you can only get to a max of 4 necrosis stacks with it where with The serpent bow you can get to 10 and out damage the cryptwood bow due to affliction damage enchants and skills making up for the loss of necrosis damage

[@Bman24641]

After swapping some points around, I’ve noticed that “Some motivation” definitely buffs ALL damage; even affliction damage - which makes that a mandatory point use imo

Do we know if "Some Motivation", the ability that gives 4% bonus damage per max arrow also includes infliction damage? I wonder if its possible to squeeze that into this build and if it would help.

[@songoku6067]

I wonder that too, id need to change this build since that passive benefits from arrow stacking

[@themorganrobertson]

@@songoku6067 Only a bit, bc the nodes right around that add some; and even with just those and the core it would be 24-28% damage, WITHOUT really pushing for arrows. Thats assuming it even stacks

if talking affliction you want the death mask it boosts affliction damage based on mournwatch strength and for the legendary perk 3 unique afflictions causes an explosion that deals damage based on the number of stacks.

Bleeding Shard is in Darktown when you drop down to fight the Champion boss North East by the drop down to the water below.

[@m3divh]

Necrotic damage is not the same as necrosis damage. Necrosis damage is an affliction damage and is increased by Necrosis damage and Affliction damage. Necrotic damage is the instance necrotic damage deals damage, and is increased by Necrotic damage and Ability damage, as well as Weapon damage if your weapons Base damage is considered Necrotic. Precious Decay does not increase the damage of the affliction, only the instant damage target receives from necrotic weapons and abilities. To increase the damage of the dot you need Necrosis damage increase, such as the Necrotic Jade ring. The in game explanation is not great.

[@plinadasilva351]

Wish I could get a screen shot of this build.

[@Lunaloone]

This is a great build although I will say I would make one change to the armor I would go with one of the ones from the necropolis basically it heals you anytime you hit someone who's bleeding basically makes you unkillable it's a medium armor I can't remember the name of it

For warrior, it's a one handed axe that reduces defense by 5 permanently for each hit and deals increased damage if it reaches 0. For mage, it's a dagger that removes all necrosis/bleeding stacks on the target when hit with a charged attack and heals you. Nowhere as good.

[@Bman24641]

For mage it’s a blade that heals you whenever you deal charged damage to a bleeding target. Pretty worthless other than its unnaturally high physical damage

[@marshmellowknightvlogs2916]

Just found out there’s a perk that allows lightning flask to apply necrosis every time it damages them as well as one that lowers their defense by five permanently every time it hits them . There’s another perk that allows it to always crit as long as the enemy is bleeding but if you don’t want that perk you can also apply burn and it’ll guarantee a crit as well

[@elamy88]

If you want to try an affliction build, you should give a look at warrior. Deadly Ground + Salt in the Wound will max stacks on any affliction on the target. You get Necrosis from it too, Bleeding from a shield toss (Let it Linger from the Reaper specialization), Burning from one of multiple abilities and there are multiple ways to get Chilled/Shocked, my prefered being the chilled belt combined with the overflow rune (which applies potion effect on activation) and a ring enchant to apply shocked on crit since chilled is the crit requirement for Deadly Ground. Neve works too. Make your character a Mourn Watcher and tada you have 4-6 stacks of every affliction with very little effort required. Doesn't require much in the way of gear either.

Mourn Watchers would be the logical choice if you want to do an affliction build, though I'm not sure it's going to be that big with only 2 of them and such a high cap already. Veil Jumper is probably the best option overall for rogue.

[@johnstallone4807]

I think everything is probably viable since the game isn't too hard but I was looking for cool builds like this since I'm not much of a theory crafter. Do you think it's worth just stacking bleed stuff early game? I only have the bleed weapon and bee belt. I was also wondering how effective stacking all stagger stuff would be and if that's even worth it.

[@m3divh]

Hmmm it seems the classes are a bit unbalanced... I deal way, way..... WAY more damage than you. And I am playing on nightmare... I deal damage mostly with Light Attacks (Mage auto-attack build) and I deal 1k damage on light attack and 24k damage on final attack (Third attack in a row). I do it by: Helm: Crows Bill Chest: Garb of Kinship Waist: Reinforced Binding Amulet: Light of Starkhaven Rings: The last Resort and Bitting Thumb Weapon: Veilseeker I stack additional projectiles from Evoker Skill Tree and Projectile Spell for even more projectiles (Evoker makes it that after you use projectile spell you light attack gets more projectiles) plus enchantment for +1 projectile, extra projectile from Evoker Combo and the staff fires by default 4+1+1+1+1 projectiles, each giving mana back 2 seconds CD reduction and guaranteed crit on frozen, and use Companions and belt and skills to stack on as many buffs as I can... With Even the Odds and Garb of Kinship I receive 20% Damage buff for every buff I have (Plus what the buff usually does). And Light attacks always crit against frozen and Staggered enemies. And I combine it with Frost Nova for freeze on demand, Entropic Sphere for the Weakness and to gather enemies to one spot, and Dark Squall to detonate Sundered. Rest of the points goes pretty much into any talent that increases damage against Debuffed enemies or increases the size of Area attacks and so on... That means I have 100 mana total for one spell, the other two are DC spells but with so many projectiles each attack refreshes (7)x2,5 second of cooldown on my skills which only have 40 sec cooldown (Greater Authority - Both Frost nova and Dark Squal are control)

[@drallcom3]

@m3divh I made a similar observation. Normal simple weapon hits deal way more damage in total that damage over time (like this meme bleed build) or abilities. I've played a shield toss warrior and could easily deal 5-10k damage (per target hit by toss) at a similar level than this video. Looks like all attacks that normally have only one projectile (staff, shield toss) but can have multiple hits are overpowered, because it's not accounted for.

[@orb8540]

@@drallcom3 I've noticed that afflictions don't quite have as many multipliers as 'strike' damage and they tend to have both the disadvantage of having setup times and lower overall damage. Even affliction-heavy builds tend to have those afflictions be the cherry on top rather than a central piece of the damage profile of the character. Shield toss reaper applies tons of afflictions but really what's the point of 200-400 damage per second while you can right click and have a shield dealing 4-10k 10 times bouncing all over for example. The road to victory is generally to 'bonk' as much damage as possible rather than strategizing around afflictions and status, which is a shame.

[@drallcom3]

@@orb8540 I noticed that too. At first my build was around stacking as much necrotic stacks as possible. It's not terrible by any means, but if you can delete a whole pack with one charged toss from far away they can't compete. Also a dead enemy now is always better and safer. The only place where affliction are nice is dragons, as they move around so much. Although once you can reliably trigger immovable (really great for toss) they're much less of an issue. In general the best builds are based on spamming your dedicated normal attack. Shield throw, shield bash, (2h sucks), staff light attack, mage melee, etc.
