You should test this with void blade instead of crystal sword, phys damage scales way better than magic damage but you still get a good chunk from the 4 magic damage that comes with void blade, on top of the 47 base weapon damage it has that will scale like crazy. It's def a fun built though, saw some guy doing 600+ with fulgor reposte running this build lmao
if you eldritch shield a body and spell predate it, you can get shards. it can be dead bodies, you dont need soul collector for this to work. cast eldritch on 5 bodies THEN use predator.
Your build isn't bad but it could use a touch up, IMO the Dark Plate is wholly unnecessary, and so is 38 Resourcefulness, max you want 20% CD from resourcefulness and 80 Buff duration. Oracle robe or Mystic Vest will do you much better IMO. Same with Occultist boots. Same with Leather Gloves. Get yourself either leather gloves and an oracle robe or a good Mystic Vest and the rawhides, depending on your knowledge needs. at 20 Resourcefulness and 80% buff duration bonus, you're rocking a 2 second down time between Casting DO and Reupping. It's bad but that's just in literal blues. If you're rocking legendaries, you can afford to just rock bigger will clothes and resourcefulness rings to bring it closer to 100% buff duration and 20% CDR. Then you'll be at 30ish seconds of DO with a 22 ish second CD but this 59.8 buff duration bonus is RANCID just for 8% more CDR. For that 8% CDR from resourcefulness you could have 20-30% more duration
While the beam did decent dmg, I feel like your team mates kinda carried most of those fights. I would love to see the viability in solos. Not saying you played bad by any stretch, but it definitely didn't even seem that strong. I feel like dark bolting would have probably done equal if not more dmg and its more flexible because of the range.
Yeah I stated that early in the video that viability is definitely debatable the scaling on Ray of darkness is a bit scuffed. Also the build is incredibly difficult to run and keep track of everything. Doing this solo is possible, but very difficult.
I think the hitbox on ray is bugged and causing no hits. On your screen the ray is on them, but if they are moving on the server side the ray isn't connecting. I wish you had included a dummy test, because this build should be hitting close to 60 damage a tick as per the tooltip (12 base + 7 true + 8 staff = 27 x 150% bonus). You're telling me in the intro you melt half the HP of a geared fighter standing still in 1-2 seconds; yet at 10:20 a full cast doesn't kill two very under geared players?
It is kind of bugged we tested on dummy but it's weird, the damage it shows is 3dmgX10 per sec base. Then with the dark offering it bumps up to 4dmgX10 per sec. The scaling on this spell Is messed up because we calculated the damage very conservatively; in theory it should be hitting 70+ per tick with 5 darkness shards but was only hitting about 50 per tick. Also you are correct it wasn't registering some of the ticks I noticed which you could probably see in the video.
Also I believe the bonus 50% Magic damage and 100% from shards only stack with base that is the way we calculated the numbers, and it still seemed very low
@@urbangent253 So my guess is it works kinda like Locust Swarm post nerf, whereas the damage calc used to be scaling on the tick damage per second; as in if you had +5 magic damage, that 1x10 tick would be 6x10. Scale it enough and you can find the clips of people being literally instantly melted by Locust Swarm. In playtest 3 or 4 they changed the scaling of "over time" effects to scale cumulatively on the final number, not the individual ticks. The same used to be true of Poison Weapon on Rogues. Poison Weapon say 4 damage over 4 seconds, and ticks 1 damage per second (though, because of low base Will and negative magic damage bonus; it's slightly less than 4 damage on a naked rogue). If you had +7 magic damage, then each tick would hit 8 damage per second for 4 seconds; so you'd be doing 32 damage instead of 4. After the change it adds all the damage calc together and spreads that damage over ticks for the duration, therefor now +7 damage would be 11 damage for 2.75 damage ticks over 4 seconds. So what Ray of Darkness is probably doing is treating it like a DoT. 12 damage x 150% MpB = 18 + 8 staff + 7 enchant = 33 damage divided over 1 second in a number of ticks (don't know how many ticks, 10?). If it's 10 ticks then the 3.3 damage per tick on the dummy would make sense. The problem comes in with hit reg and magic resist, especially on Cleric. A Cleric with perseverance would take 1 damage per tick instead of 3 (10dmg/s instead of 33). Anyone with magic resist higher than 33% (like a warlock with anti-magic) would take 2 damage per tick (20dmg/s instead of 33). This is a theory, but, If the damage is calculated like a DoT; then that also means if you disconnect with them during the time the server would calculate damage ticks and then reconnect with them while the server is not calculating damage ticks, then you lose that potential tick of damage. This might explain the weird hit registration.
We tested this as well pers on cleric negates 3 damage per tick which substantially reduces the damage. But overall I think you are correct with the danage calculations. It's kind of annoying they aren't more transparent with how danage calculations work for each ability it makes it difficult trying to create complicated builds.
Buff duration, I need to do a updated version. Get up to 80-90% buff duration and you'll only need around 22-24 resourcefulness easier to make viable builds

the dark offering builds might be one of my favorite things in the game
Ngl it is very difficult to play these builds and not lose your mind ahaha
Dude the laying down on first team is hilarious but also they were probably thinking BM LMAO.
Meme Beam build before GTA VI is crazy
💀💀
The double kill there was hella satisfying.
It felt good for sure!
Wouldve been good to get a link to the kther video explaining it

Can this be used on pve mobs or do you need a player body?
@@stankobarabata2406 works on pve which is what I do it on

I love ray just putting them to like 1hp like they’re unworthy and then a staff slap 😂
It's so disrespectful lmao
I'll preach this to the end of time. Ray of Darkness may (ordinarily) suck, but god damnit it's my favorite and most fun spell in the game

This build is WILD! it's like the Quake 3 lightning gun with the quad damage!
Exactly! 😂😂
oh shit dark offering double buffs crystal sword, man i hope the sword gets buffed so both dark offering and crystal sword become meta
When they buff it, will definitely be disgusting
I just built this kit haha, been sitting in my stash.
Crazy how much clerics can tank it because of perseverance
@andersonborges5377 yeah perserverence negates 3 damage per Tick which that combined with high MR makes them EAT
The magic shield gives dark power too

Yeah, it's frustrating waste of time in solos.
Fun in duo or trio but solo? Naaah.
Would it be even better if u ran dark reflection, dark bonus, malice, and soul collector?
I wish there was a match recap or something so that we could tell how much damage we were doing during a fight
That would be so nice!
oh hell yeah and i can see my skill issues then

Ray doesnt show damage on dummy for some reason unless they fixed it recently.
