One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."

Dang, there is like really nothing special for RF in the crucible trees (just some fire dmg/fire dot multi, but those are random nodes rather than capstone nodes).

Honestly I'm fine with this, I'm league starting RF to be chill and take it slow and not having a crazy chase crucible node to look out for just makes that all the easier.

I've been wracking my brain trying to think of ANY use for this and am drawing blanks. It's not even clear if the brands would actually damage the Reaper or if it would just kinda carry them around for you.

Doesn't make sense for single-target, cause you want your brands attached to that target for the damage boosts.

Doesn't make sense for clear, since having those two brands jump around between enemies would just be better.

Utility? Still think you're better off having brands attach to enemies or just use Arcanist.

So from the perspective of the brands, there seems to be no benefit to attaching them to Reaper.

I don't know enough about minions for the other side. Is there any benefit to having an unreliable way to damage/kill your Reaper? Apply curses with hextouch? ????

generally you have enough max brands to have two on the enemy and two on your minion. thats the theoretical single target setup this mod enables

The SRS one isn't as bad as it looks at first glance because you can use it with Mark of the Red Covenant, so it's like...a third of the damage in exchange for only needing to channel 3 SRS instead of 25?

Unfortunately crit on minions remains difficult as all hell to scale, but hey. It's usable at least, and has a niche in significantly lowering your need to stand still and cast skulls.

I dont know how srs with diamond shrines interact with minion instability but the 40% more HP is always useful for that. Red convenant popcorn srs was pretty strong already

Imagine if they crit because of that interaction, it would be nutty.

Hooray Indie Games!

If you have 100% chance to crit and do chaos damage, does that mean you'll always apply poison? Or do you need at least 1% chance to poison?

If the weapon mod gives diamond shrine meaning 100% chance to crit, you can potentially drop the poison srs weapon and use something else if you're guaranteed to get poison stacks from crits.

Edit: everywhere i'm reading says critical strikes don't apply poison. the base damage would be improved so your poison stacks would be bigger, but i doubt 3 raging sprits with 100% crit is better than 20 raging sprits without.

Crits only guarantee the three base elemental ailments iirc (ignite freeze shock) and you will need chance to poison from something regardless

At 9 blood charges with vaal reap the DoT from base reap is actually HIGHER than fire trap by about 14%. If the ground degen from vaal reap benefits from blood charges (not clear yet), it’s like 129% more damage than fire trap (seems broken, so unlikely). There’s also the potential for vaal reap ground degen to stack with base reap’s DoT (we don’t know yet).

It would, yes. Minion instability can crit, it goes off minion crit chance, and the spirits will thus always crit with it.

The problem with that is moreso scaling the crit afterwards. You get barely any on the tree, there's like one cluster node that benefits minion crit multi, but at least you can run 3x Grand Spectrum (minion crit flavor, though that's going to cost you a shitton) and Spirit Offering too. Someone would have to math out if that's actually worth it.

There's more cast speed and more max mana on the trees for the builds that likes scaling those
Some mods that give up to +120 to a stat but loses inherent bonuses - would that work with omniscience?
+10% to two separate stats, an Int/Str one would be great for my build

Speaking of, the Manabond one seems insane - 50% cold conversion and 200% more damage for freeze effect. Just a pity you can't easily plan a build around it before you get it since cheaper Manabond builds are usually non-crit, and definitely not cold conversion. Also the Arc/Crackling Lance one might make them good for manastacking indigon builds too.

There are tons of t1 to t4 mods but the number of t5 mods is relatively ! Low so maybe it won’t be impossible to get one of those skill changing nodes. The first 4 nodes may be less than great tho

Yeah the question is if you even want to scale it that way when just the 50% more damage from the crit ignite and +40% more life is good enough.

e- Actually seeing the passives you can get for minions, you'd want at least some of those in the weapon.
