are calculated? If it's a straight up x1.4 after everything else is calculated I think I might try that.


Also, for anyone not having trophied their sleep yet, consider going with duncraig first to more comfortably solve the mana-sustain issues that start creeping in as you get more and more +Skills from gear and charms. It's also way quicker / let's you hang on to more of your sanity compared to going for Yshari. You can get back the damage by crafting SpellDamage or SpellFocus Jewels instead of Life/Mana on Hit ones, which you might have needed to use otherwise.


It's also worth pointing out that you can get either 21% fire spell damage or 21% cold spell damage on a Bone Chimes from the demon/undead damage on Dungcraig trophy. The life on attack is great extra sustain as well. IMO this makes it better than Yshari, and certainly a lot easier.


Not sure about that math... 60% to demons and 60% to Undead still makes it a long way to get the 500% for maximum benefit?

Still dont 100% understand how people can have problems with mana? sure if you go off and use stuff like adjudicator there is no more 200 mana on hit.. but then you might as well go the umo route and get the 200 mana on hit back that way.

Mana and life on hit only works if you have target lock on a mob.

When you farm trash mobs in dunc, fautz and other places you dont target lock much and as such mana/life on hit dosent work as your just attacking the ground. That is why we use

Dude common... few attacks less mana is overall needed to kill em. Mana on attack on works on target lock end of story. You also gain mana from other sources.. so killing low health mobs with a few attacks overall dosent move your mana pool much. Both lemurs and bloodthorns dont cost much mana to use.

ofc there is. You are using lemurs going to a mob hitting it with your mouse over it triggering mana on hit. What we are talking about is when you are just attacking on the ground that you normaly do when using blood thorns and going fast.. mana on hit dose not work. The point is your using mana on hit on that one mob.. not the others.

The Bone Chimes gives 18% of total demon and undead damage as fire damage (or cold if you prefer). And 18% of 120 is 21%. The cap is a total of 40% bonus damage, which occurs around 222% demon and undead damage (which is hard to reach). The numbers have been tested in game.
