Nope. It has it's base dmg and that's all ) +%spell damage also doesn't work.
Made triple spell damage catalyst, but in 151 a get destroyed by the "butcher" boss, which i like, cause i just tank him to death. Not this time i guess :D
Untainted champion is bugged, resource transfer is bugged, IB has 1 main passive not working, i'm dying from stuff i never did.
Almost cleared 157 but got 50% empty map lol.
I need a Trial to try another skill instead of Mark of impurity.

Little edit: 6 ailment buff + WG buff + IB passive buff = 15.9k IB tooltip

Damn man, my IB tooltip in town is 1.1k only. And my crit is around 10-13k with Mark of Impurity on. My gear is level 100 average. Is this too low of a damage? I'm struggling with paragon 100 after switching to this build. Btw my spell crit chance is 67%, crit damage is 360%.

Any advice on how to increase damage to the level of you guys?

P.S. Is IB considered a melee skill? I want to know if Blessed Silver in Exorcist tree work with IB.

Welcome)
I wouldn't count on this node to work. But you could try it. IB is a spell skill, but can be considered as a melee spell :D
As for damage increase. I switched to full toughness from ferocity. Flat crit score on gear, cost reduction(decrease now), toughness, flat ailment chance score. Trying to craft some legendary items, but it's hard to make a good one (
As there is no +%elemental damage on armor - focus on +%occult damage.
Also switched to "smite" at 15% health on sacred damage (Dawn's Pious Striker) and it works sooo good. Especially on bosses. Changed mark of impurity with winter's grasp for testing.
I'm 78 rn, have ~35% crit chance and ~370% crit damage, 88k hp and ~67% all res. Can't find good crit damage rings, amulets and belts. Catalyst with triple flat spell damage lacks crit dmg tho.
TWCH passive was broken, devs fixed it, but i think it's not working properly now and maybe there is no reason to use it until it will be finally fixed.
IB passive buff still gives me aether damage even when with another passive you get aether -> shadow ))

I read the IB passive buff as friends getting that damage buff, not me.

What weapons do you use? Right now I'm using a catalyst and Edict (I switched away from IB. I'd like to get back to using IB though, and feel like a staff is kind of the way to go for that one. Thoughts?

Larry,

What would your skill tree look like if everything worked?

Created: 4 years, 2 months ago

Just try to use that IB passive ;)
Dagger + catalyst. I'm trying to make some good armor and accessories, but again and again i get some useless stats.
Yes, i have triple flat spell damage catalyst and it's really good. https://i.imgur.com/iNk7LtF.jpg
Dagger lacks crit damage (

Tried to respec from ailment damage nodes, which "decrease to damage, that does not deal damage over time" aaaand...pretty much nothing happened.
IB tooltip stayed the same, PB, BoD and Anomaly got +~1000 also on tooltip "average damage". But the whole damage output decreased A LOT!
Changed back, took Primordial insights and now it works fine. Still not sure about using TWCH, i'll try it later.

As for my tree if everything works. Hard question. I think force shield could be the way to go especially with Resilience of corruption and Fatal pact. But for hp version i'll stick with what it is now, because i don't know how other passive will work with each other when they got fixed.

My current tree. TWCH is there, but i will try another one later.

From my understanding, spell damage doesn't effect ailment damage? Ideally I'd like a dagger and/or catalyst that adds that kind of toxic damage. My concern is how do you restore willpower quickly if your rage is totally maxed. Daggers passive attack builds rage instead of dumping it, which obviously is not what I want.

This video did a better job explaining ailments than a lot of the others I've found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_DQxjrLuS0&feature=youtu.be

I'm not sure I agree with some of his skill tree decisions (he's going for a notably different build and playstyle than me), but he definitely seems to have done his research with understanding ailments.

Created: 4 years, 2 months ago

The main point is to focus on stats like flat crit or flat ailment on gear, cause of diminishing returns with all +%dmg on gear and passive tree.
As for ailments, very good presentation. Main info if you're going pure ailments.
For my build it's not so important i think, but thank you for sharing. Really nice informative video about Wolcen mechanics.

Each time i get an upgrade with dmg to spells - all my ailment stacking is screwed :D
I really hate double knockbacks and how i hate the healing priest boss especially when he summons his healing adds....
It was a 10 minute fight yesterday lol.

So...that's sad. No fixes for this build.
I'm almost done. Many things just do not work. +%dmg from passive tree seems very very weak. I just can't boost my damage.
Was farming 151 for upgrades....0. Tried almost everything including Fatal Pact. The damage stays pretty much the same.
Immortal Offering works bad imo. The better way is to make each buff to give you +%damage instead of +%(element type)damage so it would not brake your ailment stacking. For example: you have 5 ailments, 4 from skills, 1 from passive tree(poison). You kill a couple of mobs and got 3 5stack buffs burn, curse, poison. Now you just can't apply other ailments, cause your fire, shadow and poison damage > any other types of damage.
Boss fights are ok except ~0 damage output change from my character.
All this makes me sad (

108k hp ~65-68% all res and now i almost got oneshotted from every boss on 151 map lmao
"Powerful" mod is something interesting. Also every single boss or champion now gets ~25-35kk hp. Before patch their hp was around 20kk.
I don't know what happened, but now it's hard for me to clear 151lvl maps :D
FYI yesterday before the patch I could facetank 157-159 with 53k hp + Fatal Pact lol

I feel like they buffed "powerful" mod on bosses. It appears everytime i clear a rift on every single boss. Even with ~9k all res i can get ~90% of my 100k hp in one boss hit. That's ridiculous.

Created: 4 years, 2 months ago

Last patch they just broke life leech or i don't know. Almost died(3 times downed) from shield tank boss at 154lvl portal receiving huge damage without "powerful" mod. All res ~70% 90k hp and my damage isn't bad at all.

Haven't played in a while. Got tired of broken passives and core mechanics. Currently farming 163.

Created: 4 years, 1 month ago

Cleared 166, 167 ,168 full. It is hard to find the right gear for my needs. Res stacking...ailments...i'm tired of this games' mechanics. Maybe someday there will be good alternative to this nonsense.

Created: 4 years, 1 month ago

Sad, that this game is still around its place when i started playing it. Btw, this build works fine, but there are some minor issues
