This is basically a storm shaman thing. It's kill them before they kill you. They're mega strong for where they're at progression wise. RIP modifier helps lower some of its damage but you can try to snipe them with throwing wyrmshots slightly off and on screen of them in the corridors. Otherwise it's just move quick and kill them.


They're stronger than some early Ubers tbh, DW about it. They aren't anywhere else in the game.


Thank you for the gracious comments :-)

I do know skill is the main variable - I'm slower and less accurate in keyboard response which really doesnt help. But hey that's cool its all about fun and doing the best you can. I'm still trying to find the perfect left hand keymap for me with this mod, it might sound trite but the delete key being locked really throws me off.

Laugh as much as you want, but I kept the default key bindings and added spacebar for teleport. Does the job for me. I just map important skills to the end of the row (F1,F4)so I can recognize which key is which by the fact there is no key beside it.

Tried mapping them to more standard pc gaming keys, it ended by me fumbling all around like an idiot.

Yes I did. Wasn’t that bad.

Left click:

F1: Noctule
F2: Bloodbath
F3: Shadow Refuge
F4: Batstrike

Right click:

F5: Doom
F6: Auto-attack (Finisher for Batstrike)
F7: Queen of blades
F8 : Town portal.

Spacebar : Blink.

Worked pretty well to me. Took me a while to get used to though.

Fair enough. Luckily bowzon barely have any skill switching. LMB wyrmshot, pretty much never change that. Can swap between phalanx and spellbind with F1-F2, and buffs F3->.

I actually have Wyrmshot and Phalanx on right click. F1 and F4 respectively. F2 and F3 are used for Bloodlust and Spellbind.

I have Trinity Arrow unmapped on left click. Allows me to take out anything that gets too close for comfort without having to think what key to press. If I ever get Wolf Stance, I will most likely be screwed haha.

for lab efficiency, it does require a bit more than wyrmshot/spellbind switching XD

It use to be in the guide, but I removed it because its worse for bossing and also worse for farming. Everything is just faster with a crafted bow when you use phalanx/wyrmshot respectively.

It might be useful in high labs but I haven't gotten to that content yet, so I don't have an opinion on the matter.

Not sure how its worst for farming since i tested both and i shoot faster and it hits more than normal wyrmshot, even when wyrmshot has more damage rapid wyrmshot shoots a lot more and a lot faster, seems like replacing normal wyrmshot for rapid could be good.

i could be wrong but i tested both and seems like rapid wyrmshot just melts everything and can still use phalanx as well
