Well shit no wonder sometimes it feels like my DPS is lower. I'll take it off when I get home and see how it plays. Swapping made me kind of sad since I recall all sorts of claws dropping on necro that would have been great =/ Didnt expect to try a "melee" build.yeah, plague bearer. I've dropped it out of my build atm. there was a period I was using it..
It is a very interesting skill.
I found it a bit annoying, in that it auto-ons entering new zones, and can't be turned off, without removing it. now this may sound good, but since it reduces your poison damage, until capped, any time you fight something right away, it hurts you.
and of course you need to get close to use it.
On my pathfinder, I find my dps is high enough, plague bearer is mostly just a waste of time. Don't even have the wither totem up and running yet.
Almost to blood aqua then gotta farm one up. Fucked up and 5 linked a stupid generic rare last night cause I didnt realize I had the prophecy for it ;( Sad times.@a_skeleton_03 Fnex has a tabula for you when you get on
Only reduces your DPS until it's fully charged, which if you're aoeing takes like 1 or 2 packs or so. Once it's charged your DPS is normal, and you can pop the button for additional aoe. I use it cause it's basically free damage whenever I fight a boss or want to clear spread out trash or whatever, just turn it on for a few secs, turn it off again and charge it up quickly.Well shit no wonder sometimes it feels like my DPS is lower.

You can loot the stuff using a movement skill to get into the altar. Whirling Blades, Cyclone, Phase Run work. Flame Dash didn't seem to work. Not too important for the watchstone but it's nice for the actual loot.Can't say im perticularly fond of this new atlas system. Feels like theres extra steps and confusing things with trying to advance it against the conquerers. Even the map tab is a mess.
Maybe they'll fix it up some and maybe it gets better with experience i dunno but for right now it's kind of a bummer to me.
edit: just to annoy me more the loot is under the altar and i cant get to it. i hope i get the watchstone atleast from zana or something
edit2: i could so im good

The new atlas isn't bad until you brick it. Kyth and I have managed to brick our atlases to the point of no progression. I spoke to GGG about it, they wanted screenshots and explanation, and seemed to be unaware this is a thing.
Lol how did you brick it
But yep RaizQT told about some racer upgrading too quickly their region ans being a bit stuck like this, its apparently safer to slowly do all White ones then YEllow and so on, because it become harder to drop the higher tier map if some Conqueror momentarely take some of your socketed stones^^'.
It's not really that bad once you learn it, but the accessibility for new players is too much. Their lack of tutorials or whatnot makes this just too damn complicated. It wasn't until lots of looking at it, and kyth's help that I finally figured out exactly how this whole atlas thing works. It makes perfect sense now, but it's nothing that couldn't have come with an in depth tutorial.
I'm pretty sure they removed the CoC mod from the shaper weapons (CwC too).Cyclone - CoC(from Shaper weapon) - Desecrate - DD - Spirit Offering - Spell Cascade - Increased Crit Strikes
Someone tell me why this is dumb. I've been able to find absolutely nothing on the internet abusing Spirit Offering. Sure, there's lot of CoC - VD - Desecrate builds since they removed the cooldown last patch, but I can't find anything also utilizes the ultra high sustain from casting Spirit Offering. Obviously, I didn't think of some super cool idea, so what am I missing?
Also, in case the idea isn't stupid, I can't think of a way to boost corpse production. Spirit Offering will eat up 5 and DD(with Awakened Spell Cascade) will eat 5-10. Doedre's Tenure and Scold's Bridle is the best I could come up with, but even with a modicum of armor, it just can't keep up. It would also be nice to decouple corpse generation from hitting an enemy. Really wish there was a trigger weapon for fire like Cospri's Malice or Mjolner.

They should also be much harder to obtain since shaper influenced maps are much rarer.
