Holy Melee [1.3] WIP

I thought if you used beacon and then switched weapons it would not actually drop the bomb.

u use it mainly for character speed/velocity.

A suggestion bojac: you should mention to keep an eye out for ethereal bases, in particular with your non gloves runewords. The MO space for those runewords is so little that i imagine the defence returns from ethereal bases will be great, nevermind if the item is superior. Might be difficult to jewelcraft a decent indestructible jewel but you can always replace them if you craft a better one.

Actually crafted an IAS jewel with Indest and put it in my Hand of God, very happy with that! It keeps your repair cost to a minimum.

How do you get MOAR dmg on Dj and Retaliate? the most i can seem to get with Crafted HoG is like 27k-43k. My gear is Hivemind, Blind Anger, Craton Xis, Auhe Belt, SBS, Emperyean Band, Earthrouser, and RAre AMmy with - poison res and +2 sk (not upgraded)

Seems like you have a really good setup. Are you lacking single target dmg or aoe ? The way i found to be really good with scaling DJ damage is as much str/flat damage/and wep scalling as possible + either good CB or 20% deadly strike on weapon. But you have a shitton of good procs.

Also try getting either a doom or a banish ammy. It really helps

Well, with SBS doesnt my single target automatically become AOE? The damage Im talking is whats dispayed in the char sheet 1st page, I saw that Pinball and IamQ have like max 73k damage, was wondering how to get that high. Also for Shrine blessing, if I craft with Creepy, that means I have to bless with something else rite?

My killspeed itself is fine, between HIve and PoF, and 33-42k wdm, just wanted to know what to do to get such high damage like Pin and Q.

That tooltip is probably poison fucking it up. Creepy Bless for more str and crushing blow always. I have the same as you only im using the set so i have 60% poison pierce and 3 fire procs. Rest is Phys and i melt stuff. Your setup might even be better than the set.

You can stack poison damages to get that high number. The poison damage may seem like a large amount but it's not the real damage output actually. How poison damage works is very complicated and it can be difficult to calculate.

You might have low damage but it's much better to add high %DS, %CB and posion pierce imo

It isn't really that complicated, just not count spell power and duration.
You can use d2stats it shows real unbuffed poison damage, 2nd tab under weapon damage and poison.
