Problem exists between keyboard and chair.
That was an easy one, yeah.
I’m concerned by the turn of phrase, though. “Too OP,” he writes.
Too over powered?
Is this like finding the boiling point of water?
The basic play style comes together pretty quickly, since Epidemic is a tier 1 skill.
Right off the bat, take Scepter and Dagger as your weapon.
Find a group or tag multiple enemies with your scepter to annoy them, round them up in a ball.
Lead with Grasping Dead to slow and bleed in an aoe.
Follow with Enfeebling Blood to bleed and weakness in an aoe.
Start auto attacking to stack bleeds.
Once you have a nice stack, anywhere from six to fifteen depending on where you are duration wise, hit Epidemic. Now everything is bleeding lots!
When you get Well of Suffering, you can start stacking vulnerability too. At this point it’s handy to swap to Axe/Focus.
To nuke, lead with Well of Suffering.
Use Reaper’s Touch.
Use Ghastly Claws.
Auto attack a bit, or use Death Shroud and hit Life Transfer.
Swap back to Scepter/Dagger and start building bleeds again.
At any time while using Axe/Focus, you can use Unholy Feast to cripple all enemies around you to slow them down, or as Focus/Dagger you can use Deathly Swarm to blind them. Both of these help out with your survivability.
One trick you can do as you’re leveling and want a bit of variety is to use the trait “Mark of Evasion” from blood magic as an offensive dodge ability. You can dodge into mobs, bleed them more, and put regeneration on yourself. Similarly, you can use “Weakening Shroud” from Curses to bleed and weakness mobs around you when you death shroud.
This can be handy early on when your duration is low. You can use Grasping Dead, Enfeebling Blood, Dodge Roll, and Death Shroud all in a row to stack a whole bunch of bleeds on a target very quickly, then stack a few more and Epidemic to spread them.
hi5, same issue here.
Tried a system restore just to see if the patch buggered up some settings on my end, but still no joy. Even the installation widget won’t log in.
Are you folks perhaps located in or around the UAE?
