Hey i just started the build swtiched from ignite to it but i feel squishi rly bad since you lose so mutch health with smite wile monolith farming is that normal
You either need to scale the health cost of smite down giving up damage for each used point (1 skillpoint is usually at least 7-10% total damage depending on where you use it … ) or need the 2 things the build has to fill up the selfdamage…
100% spell crit + a (well rolled) prism wraps for leech on crit (up to 8%)
The spelldamage leech blessing (up to 5%)
So you end up with 12+% leech over 3 seconds best case … so you leech 4% of your damage per second.
Both options need enough damage and enough monster life to leech from.
I can effective kill myself in non empowered low lvl monos because monsters dont have enough life to leech from and self damage is the same.
Yes 0/5 less selfdamage is scary even with the above.
You take massives hit to your life Ball for a short burst before leech tops you again, i can drop down to like 1600 before leech - thats 50% of my health - but the dip is so fast that you sometimes not even really see it!
Remember the last half of your life is much more valueable than the graphics suggests due to endurance…
Anyway 0/5 selfdamage = max damage is for those big numbers and your ego not cause its clever… specc 1-3 to make it more safe… you can do so much damage anyway.
Doing a 65% gb, 35% csa, 60% life empowered 135 corruption mono while oneshooting rares is totaly possible… but hey - i want that damage and it works anyway so far.
In your guide you mention adaptive spell/spell/lightning as the best offensive stats to look for but in your build planner you have mostly crit chance/multiplier. I’m sure for all direct damage builds like this, crit is good but I’m just wondering what the real order is.
My guess in order is adaptive spell > lightning > spell > elemental spell > max mana > crit chance/multiplier.
What do people level with until they want to use smite? I switched to smite at lvl 20 and damage is terrible compared to warpath. Should I have waited until I could choose the Paladin class?
Smite must be specialized to be optimal. You need some skill points to raise its damage.
Before that, usually Sentinels level up with Vengeance or Rive.
hey, how is the priority for spending passive points in the talent tree? I’m lvl 72 now, should I go for the 11 points in void first or maxing paladin first?
Hi, I have a hard time finding a Devotion amulet. Do I have much better chances to find it by doing empowered Monoliths or are normal monolith the same?
RNG, during completing normal 90lvl timelines i got 3 times Devotion as a drop - its common rarity. Best way would be getting blessing for increase unique drop (random drop) and farm timeline where is unique / set amulet as reward node.
