Yea, had some rough days at work, didn't feel like gaming too much :)

Saw you got the Warcry anoint and Inc AoE on Infernal Cry, and no double curse, right?


Sorry to hear that. I hope things go better for you in work.

Yes, and also swapped Controlled Destruction for Concentrated Effect.

This gives us 100% up time on EO and significantly better AOE.

The thought was that between monsters who are curse immune and the map mods where we can't curse, some times our double curse is just being wasted. But there is no immunity against EO and bigger AOE (we can get around 1.5 screens of kills now if density is good). And with Scourge being a clearing league, having IC available more often is very important.

Our steady state DPS is higher and more consistent. However our spike DPS is lower than the original build when everything turns on occasionally (EO, double curse and unnerve).

Some of us also added in a new flask which is working really well until we can afford Bottled Faith.


Good thinking!

Although one side note I would like to make is that, when you can afford it, Awakened Hextouch actually does allow hexproof enemies to be cursed, so I would argue that for the highest potential, the version I'm running is still best.

But ofcourse I know that Awakened Hextouch isn't the easiest to come by, so your approach might be better for the greater good.


Good point about level 5 hextouch.

Although I think it is a low chance to curse, curse immune enemies if memory serves. I know a lot of people on reddit were complaining about this when it was nerfed but I have never tested it.

18% chance at level 5, seems to be up when it matters, especially with Reckoning proccing so much.

Hmm dunno about Conc Effect vs Awakened Controlled Destruction yet...
I get your points, having EO up all the time. But does seem like Conc reduces the AoE massively, and it's not like Incinerate has massive AoE to begin with ^^

But, seems to work for you guys!

I've been trying to get a Skin of the Lords with Iron Reflexes btw, and so far failed 4 times today Blessing one myself xD Rip currency.



Did get one with Wicked Ward and one with Unwavering Stance though.

@Clay - Hope things are better for you at work! How are you rolling those skins? I find the AOE is ok with concentrated effect, and I got my unnerve on my glove. I love herald of ash so much I went arrogance/low life to use it (and the fact I can't get my gear right for all the resists and whatnot to use legacy). I also suggested to use culling strike since we are not double cursing.

@Physium - I annointed Inexorable mainly for budget reasons, but its endurance charge generation is pretty consistent when mapping.

You are absolutely correct about the AOE. That is why we added the AOE support to IC and anointed Deep Breaths. Our setup now has significantly more AOE with CE than we had with CD. There is no real way to describe it. You just have to use it and see that massive improvement in AOE when clearing.

With out the change to using Deep Breaths and Inc AOE, I would not have made the swap. I had tried earlier in the league to just make the straight swap of CE for CD and even though EO was up always, the reduction in AOE could be felt in clearing and it did not feel good at all.

The recipe is Skin of the Loyal and a Blessing of Chayula
I saw this Scourge mod was on some weapons on trade.

9% chance to inflict Fire Exposure on Hit

is there anything useful we can do with this? I know exposure does not stack so this would be only 10% exposure where WOC does 15% but is there anything we could add in place of WOC to help us such that the 10% exposure from the weapon and what ever we add is better than the 15% from WOC?

lol, I really should pay more attention to my map mods. I tend to only scan for the 1 or 2 we care about and ignore the rest.

After getting absolutely nuked in Nightmare, I can safely say this concoction is literally impossible at Scourge stacks of 75 or greater (75% more damage received).

Monsters Deal 122% extra physical damage as fire
Monsters Deal 101% extra physical damage as cold
Monsters Deal 103% extra physical damage as lighting


Holy hell! lol :)

Ah right, forgot, thanks.

I originally thought maybe a frost bomb to stop monster regeneration, but remembered that we would lose the combustion buff along with WoC, so whatever you replace WoC with also has to be able to ignite.

Oh yeah, I started to play attention to these, scourge world is scary on sextanted T16 and I stopped doing them as I neared my next level.




Wouldn't using Awakened Elemental Focus cause the 'Shaper of Storms' to not apply shock or am I missing something?

Yes on your incinirate u don't ignite, shock or any aliment but on your other spell like WoC, molten shell and even reckoning you do.
