Level 88 right now, farming t15 maps, with between 20-25k ED dot, i'm calling it a day as a bloodmage, the life/mana costs for casting spells, has gotten so high, it's gotten to a point within seconds you lose like 75% of your life with just casting spells.
Level 34 ED, you lose almost 20-25% of your life, with just 1 cast, and it's not just ED, contagion/dark effigy cost even more to cast, and everything else also costs 250+ life per cast. Also the spread radius for dots is just meh, there seem to be issues with dots connecting as well, occasially they just don't spread, which makes it clunky. Bloodmage is definitely not the class for this after like 200+ hours in it, might come back to it when they rework/change stuff. I'm going to reroll Chayula Monk, and try and get ED/contagion (hexblast) to work on that instead, just testing stuff out really. Last edited by Vlammenzee2190#5069 on Jan 5, 2025, 9:27:35 AM

" To be fair, the build must be in an incredibly depressing or bad state if it's taking this long to even provide any kind of information about it. |

" Any reason for chonk? I may be missing something, but to me this looks like second worst ascendency for ED after blood mage as neither leech nor extra damage works with dots. |

" Hello! How did you get it to the level 34? I know that you can get a +3 amulet, +5 wand, +2 from focus, +1 from support, +1 from the tree, +1 from corruption, that's 33. What am i missing? /edit Btw, my tooltip is 12500, but i have 8 jewels in my tree with +14-15% wither effect and +4-5% curse effect and withering presence on, so DPS during clear ain't that bad. Some images and calculations:
Spoiler
  +48% dmg just from the withering presence -76 chaos res from the curse So, a mob with 0% chaos res would actually get 12 500 * 1.48 * 1.76 = 32 560 dmg per second And if you set up the totem, it skyrockets even more; but the boss DPS is still pretty bad, even with the totem, ailment drain and all that. Bossing DPS calculations would look something like +40% damage from the minion pact and +35% from ailment drain, but it feels like it is not multiplicative, but additive instead; i mean, it doesn't feel like these two supports do much on the endgame bosses. I have the withering touch support on my totem so it goes brrrr on bosses, and when it does, wither ramps up to 120%  So if i understand correctly, bossing DPS it is (12 500 + [some damage from 2 extra supports]) * 2.2 * 1.76 ≈ ± 50 000 Defences are great, though. I went ES + Zealot's Oath + Eternal Youth, resulting in 100 es regen per second and life flasks applied to ES, and 8 300 ES on imperfect gear. Closer to character lvl 100, and to 100divine invested in armours lol, ES would be somewhere around 11k... the only problem that i don't really need that, 8k is already excessive. I would be happier to have 2x DPS and 0.5x ES.  Last edited by Skirmy#2401 on Jan 6, 2025, 6:40:53 PM
