Scepter is a condition weapon. Feast of Corruption seems really misplaced to me in a sense that it increases damage per condition when no necros would go for direct damage on scepter anyway. Would changing the +8% damage per condition to +8% life force per condition be better for the weapon and the build itself? Because, to be honest, when traited full condi, necro really lacks life force generating skills. You either get stuck with staff that has gimpy bleed stack or current scepter with nonexistent LF generation. Worse, you have to slot utilities like spectral armor that doesn’t really fit into the build at all.

Thoughts?

8% per condi would be really high, but it’s currently at 3%, I believe. I think if it went to 4% or it could be a reasonable buff, but anymore and you could see huge gains all in one shot.

That’s best suggestion :
-Life force stays 3% or goes 4%
-it increases conditions duration on target by 30%-50%

I vote that the damage stays the same but Life Force gain is increased per condition on the target. 3% LF per condition, target has 5 conditions = 15% LF.

Also, Feast Of Corruption can hit pretty kitten hard with full berserker. Scepter isn’t a good power weapon but I like to use it anyway because of the poison on AA, relatively fast AA and FOC can crit some pretty nice numbers especially with an Intelligence sigil.

It does give 3% per condition – it works how you described. That’s an impressive screenshot but I wonder if food, stacks, and might played a role there? I can’t get it to even crack 4k in PvP. I’ve been close but never reached it.
