hey guys, and welcome to a new video. Today, I want to showcase the project or the build that I've been working on for the past couple of days, and it is a death oath um DK autobomber using a forbidden shako to boost the damage of DK2 an I would say an absurd amount for what it is, you know, using the storb burst mechanic. Also going over a bunch of different mechanics that I am new with, basically from the 325 leak, using, for example, the font of Thunder plus um the new Watchers I modifier, which says um fire and cold damage taken as lightning damage. Playing this together with Divine flesh so we we don't get any fire and any cold damage. We're going to convert all of that and therefore having triple or actually quad 90 resistance because um, as said, fire cold we take is lightning and Chaos lightning chaos. We have 90% Max resistance. I also got my hands on the haunted by tormented Spirits weapon enchant, which costs like 85 divines or something. So I I put that

one in, and we're scaling incredible amounts of AOE. I think my death oath currently runs on, uh, I think like 209% AOE, which is almost, I would say, if I stand here, it's about the Outer Circle here from the death Aura, so it's almost screen white clear. All right, before we go into any detail on what this build is about, how it functions, all these, like, kind of mechanics that I put in that might be interesting for you as well for your build, because this is not like death oath specific, uh, we're going to run a couple of map showcases here, probably two or three Maps, uh, here with the toxic sewer. So what do I use this character for? Mainly for farming gold. I want to do speed mapping, um, t16s to get a lot of gold, because problem is, as you see here, I'm always out of gold. So I currently rebuilt all my employees basically, and I only want to have level 9 or level 10 employees here on the mining, for example, only level 10, and

level 9, and they cost quite a lot of, uh, money, basically, right? I'm still not done. Some of my, I'm missing like three boys here on my smelting. Um, I think my boats are basically triple 10 or something, you know, like they cost a lot of currency, right? Or gold, in that case. I think just without sending mappers, without sending ships, I think I need like 30,000-40,000 gold just to pay off my farmers, my miners, my smelters, and stuff like that. So, I would not be surprised if I get to 100,000 gold, uh, when everything is running, when my mappers are mapping, my shippers are shipping, and, uh, those kinds of things, you know? So, I need a lot of gold. So, what do I do? I needed something that is very fast, very efficient, and can just all can go [__] tons of gold. It's not like an insane gold strat because we're not running scarabs, we're not running anything. Um, I'm getting probably 10,000

gold per map, which is not a lot, but with this build, I need like one and a half minutes per map, so that gives me like, I don't know, maybe like half a million gold per hour, and that basically serves the purpose. Basically, it's an autowalker. You just run around. I'm even like only playing with my mouse at the moment just because I don't need anything else, and for single target, we are having storm burst, and storm burst is, it's not meant to be a storm burst skill. It just helps me to trigger my, um, what is it, my DK, but I'm going to talk over the mechanic. Why is it storm burst, and uh, what is actually the mechanic behind it, right? Then I'm playing things like, um, the Defiance of Destiny to help with the survivability, but it's not the most damage, obviously, right? It's even weird because honestly PU has so insane problems. It doesn't calculate my DK damage. It doesn't calculate uh, my death oath damage properly because I think based on PU, I'm running like 200k DPS.

with death oath and honestly with the maps dying and exploding that heavily, even with more Monster life, there is no way this is going to be 200k DPS, right? So let's take a look at the boss. Okay, it just... I mean, the boss just exploded. This is just on this map specific. I just wanted to show the single Target DPS, but I can't because the boss just exploded in the middle of the pack. But it is such a comfy build where you just run around, you know, you have your death o clearing, and for rare packs or Essences, you have your storm burst set up with Decay, where I'm going over the mechanics on how does this work and where we get the damage from. On top of that, I'm playing this with Nico. We get... bro, these lags, bro. I mean, I think this is like the only real way of being fine with legs. And we just got the nameless sear over here, dude. I don't know why, but I'm kind of Lucky with the nameless sear, like

every day I'm getting like four or five nameless series, which is actually crazy, and we are getting completely [__] on like always. This guy just never gives me anything good. I don't know why. I mean, on leak, he actually gave me a void battery that I could sell for three divines, which was definitely nice. But other than that, it's like a one chaos item usually that I get. But it is what it is. But as I said, I'm four or five nameless series, but this is just the nature of the build being so fast. You know, you just run around and pick up the nrr, you get additional movement speed, you're exploding everything, you don't have to press buttons. You know, I have my storm burst on right click, and that's basically it. So let's talk a little bit about the haunted modifier. As you see, I'm already or kind of like, you see this like three orbs. I'm currently possessed. The problem is it doesn't really tell you

what possession you have there is actually a list of like I don't know 30-40 tormented modifiers that you can get, and this basically resets every Zone and is kind of permanent for the Zone. But honestly, I wasn't really bothering too much on what do I get and what do I not get. So can I now show Single no boss is dead again? That is like a bit unlucky here, but it is what it is. So back to the helmet modifier. As I said, it resets every Zone. It is permanent. There are some very nice things, for example, like increased attack speed, movement speed, and cast speed, which is nice. But all the other things that I get, I don't know, sometimes you just have those ped modifiers, you know, where you do this weird shock wave of cold or something like that, where I think there's even one with corpse explosion and stuff like that. I would just say it's more of a headhunter thingy.

where you say, Hey, I just take every buff that I get, but I personally don't really care, uh, and just live with the upsides of it, right? So, let's finish off this map over here and more chain reactions. So, we basically ran out two maps, kind of interesting. I think it should be like somewhere about 20,000 gold, and uh, yeah, mapping with this character is, I mean, it's not an Uber boss kill or anything like that. It's just supposed to be a strictly fast mapper where it's just like, I don't have to press buttons, I don't have to think about it, you know? I just run around, I explode things. And a good thing is, Death Oath is an AOE damaging ability, which just means, um, while you're picking up loot, you're still going to kill everything around you. So, we picked up like 16,000, 177,000 gold. So, it's not the most, but as I said, with like the super fast mapping, you're still going to

average out like three to 500,000 gold per hour, which I definitely need by buying more slaves for my town and, you know, let them work on a proper rate. Good, let me quickly put all of that in here. We're going to separate our uniques for our disenchants over here, and, uh, yeah. So, what is the thing about Death Oath? Why is it good this league, or is it even good? First of all, Death Oath got buffed by about 33%. That means it used to do like about 750 damage per second. Now its base damage is up to a th000. But I would still say, um, Death O is like the budget version of Righteous Fire with less scaling options. Because the problem is, and this um counts for both now, it is my Death AA coming from Death Oath, and it's the um DK support. So um, the Death AA comes from an item, so therefore it's not a skill gem. There is no physical skill gem, um, where for example like Melo bance or something.

Right, so plus level to skills don't do anything. On top of that, Death AA and DK both are not Els, they're not poison, they're not ignite, they're not anything like that. So, it is very, very hard um to scale the damage. So, I would guess in the late game, which I haven't done yet, but I would say in the late game, it would be more of an angle of um an Adorn setup where you just put in like U dot multi and Chaos magic jewels and just try to ramp up the damage this way. Good um, let's talk about DK. So, why DK? Basically, the DK support is a very, very old thing um. Let me quick pull up the DK support um that never really got any kind of use. It usually comes from an Essence I think um, and it basically is just like a DOT as you see here like a th000 damage um per second for 8 seconds. So, it's basically a strict up dot that I apply with a hit. So, it could be an auto attack.

It could be like it needs to be linked to something, right? Unless you have it on the weapon or something. So if I say level one Fireball with DK support, I shoot a fireball, and then there is this weird dot on the target, and it lasts for quite a long time. So, and the best way to scale that is base levels, but as it's not a skill gem, we need to get the other, um, like other ways. And I did it with the Forbidden Shako. It gives you a level 30 or up to level 35 DK. So let's check out the damage on level 20 DK. We have like 1,000 damage. On a level 35, we have 3,844. So basically four times the base damage. And how do we scale that? As I said, plus levels, chaos do multi, plus levels, and ailment stuff doesn't work. So we have to go strictly generic damage with anything, um, chaos do multi with Malo balance or um, chaos clusters or anything like that. That works generic damage. So another way to scale that, uh

If you didn't know, DK has actually a build or it takes the kind of like stats of your gem that you're actually using the gem with. For example, if we take just for an easy explanation now, we take Arc, right? Arc says 15% more damage with hits and ailments for each remaining chain. I don't know if it works with Arc because it says hits and ailments. We're not dealing big hits; we just apply the DK with a hit, but it says for ailments, and since DK is not an ailment, it doesn't scale that way. But the thing that I want to explain is it's still like DK gets the 15% more damage and for each remaining chain, which is baked into the Arc skill gem. There is also another way to do it, which is for example Infernal Blow of Ulation, I think, where you get a more damage multiplier based on stacks on yourself, which also counts for okay, or you take something like Stone Burst and Stone.

burst says exploding orbs deal 75% of skill damage for each 0.4 seconds of the remaining duration. What does that mean? So basically, the longer the duration of stone burst, the more damage I get for the exploding orbs. And the 75% does actually work for DK. So what I do is for my single target, I just channel it for a second or a half a second, and I want to trigger this explosion. And then based on the remaining duration, I get the more damage, right? And that's the reason why my skill trade looks like that, because all we want to do is get as much duration as possible. We have the skill effect duration over here with more skill effect. We're going to go down here to the exceptional performance for even more skill effect duration. I even went with the large clusters with Wicked Pole, for example, with increased skill effect duration. Like every duration that we can get is good. Same with the support gems. They are not here to support the stone burst; they are here to support the duration of stone burst. So

efficacy has skill effect duration of supported skills. Skill effect duration increases the duration of my storm burst and therefore increases the damage of my DK, same as enhancement does because the quality of storm burst gives it base duration, and with a new more duration support, this used to be increased duration, now it's more duration. So, what does that mean in total? We currently have a 9.10 seconds duration of storm burst. So, if you take a 9.1 seconds and divide this by the 0.4 basically of the stone burst setup here for each 0.4 seconds of remaining duration. So, we divide this by four, we get at 2275, and this is basically the multiplier for the 75% more damage. So, my DK currently gets 176% more damage coming from the remaining duration of storm burst. And you might think like, Wait a second, isn't that insane? You're getting 1,700 more damage for your DK. Yes, it is, but

it is still DK. It doesn't scale with ailments, and it has probably like a low base damage with like 4,000, basically, which is not bad. But given the fact that it's still not an ailment at anything that we can scale it, like that makes it still okay to use. As I said, I cannot po this, and I would assume if we add this like 1,700 more damage, we probably have like five, six, seven million chaos dot damage coming from the storm burst and this DEC. Then lasts for, I don't know, like 20 seconds. So what I usually do on rough bosses or Essences that are like empowered or torment or whatever, I go over there, I do like one burst, and then I can just go away, and this guy is just going to die. Because DK already has a base duration of like 8 seconds, and then with all the more duration and skill effect act duration and so on, it probably lasts like 15 or 20 seconds.

so that is basically my single-target death oath. It's basically an AA, so we can use things like, um, what I did here. We allocate the Beacon of Hope with 80% increased area of effect of AA skills, which is usually like, what do you need AA skills? Maybe for like an AA bot is basically a hidden anointment down here on the, um, Templar site. So I want to scale the AOE basically, right? And then we also have other AOE modifiers, um, for example, with the increased AA of effect and other sources of ink AO, so we're getting a whopping, uh, what is it, 200% ink AOE, making it almost screen-wide. Other than that, we have mid-manipulation, less duration, Swift deflection, LIF Tab, and efficacy LIF tab here. My death oath doesn't proc LIF tab, right? But, and LIF tab says support skills deal 20% more damage while you have life tap. It doesn't say that you need to proc LIF tap with the skill that you have it into, right? So that's why I opted in here, um, a

LIF tap support on level one, so I need the minimum amount of life, and then like a withering step with Automation and a flame Dash. So when I flame Dash, I'm procing a 16 seconds, and yes, it is that long because we have so much more skill effect duration on our character. And while this buff is up, which you naturally have by just running around or basically having my automation with withering step, it's permanently up, so I get the more damage. And that's basically my death oath setup, and it's basically just a regular death hour. So if I just go into the testing area, which is blood aqueducts, and you're going to see how nice the AOE is. So if I find some monsters, so there it is. So basically, yeah, almost a screen radius. Another thing here with the explosion, so we're playing this as the occultist, and we get profane Bloom, which says cursed enemies, that's important, cursed enemies you or your minions kill a 50% chance to

explode dealing a quarter of their maximum life is chaos damage, so it needs to be cursed. That's why I'm running a blasphemy, um, despair, AA, um. So basically, I have like a, yeah, a despair aura effect, so everything that comes into my range is cursed, and if they die from that oath, they're going to explode. And then I still have a curse enemies with despair on hit. So why that basically when there is a chain reaction happening and it's outside of my despair aura effect, I still want to trigger my profane Bloom explosions, right? And I can only trigger those explosions when the enemy is cursed. So what happens? A monster, um, basically comes into my area, it gets affected by my blasphemy despair, uh, it gets killed by death oath, and then it triggers the explosion. The explosion is a hit and is actually cursing the enemies it hits with despair, triggering another explosion based on profane Bloom. Because what would happen if I don't have a curse on hit ring is

basically um that my profane bloom goes off based on my death Aura but it doesn't trigger chain reactions because it would only explode the monsters around them and then the explosion stopped because the enemies were not cursed so this is the reason why I do have a double uh despair AA I can add another curse since we have Unholy Authority with the additional curse probably it's going to be punishment or something usually would take temp chains for poison builds but this is not a poison build this is just strictly chaos dot so I guess punishment or maybe um a defensive thing like in feeble would help more I mean um temp chain is still a defensive thing as well right so you could opt in there with like asen's gentle touch and stack explosions because this is what I'm doing here I have profane Bloom explosion I do have the Unspeakable gifts over here I think I have another unspeakable gift over here which is also an exploding mod I do have an exploding wand which is

completely useless with an obliteration. You're fair off and uh very good to go and with asut you even have more um damage there but um this is not an additive stackable mod basically so if you have like 100% chance to explode it's definitely not 100% unless the stat says 100% right. Profane Bloom is 50% so it's obvious it's getting calculated the way where you say how much is the chance of not exploding. Okay so if I have um a normal monster it dies it doesn't explode. Now I have profane Bloom which has 50% CH explode. So it is also means it has a 50% chance to explode or a 50% chance to not explode right. And this is basically after each other. So um I'm having profane Bloom proc um it did not explode so there's a 50% chance it doesn't explode. And after that we have the Unspeakable for another 10%. So this is not really 10% with profane Bloom.

it's actually 5% because it's counted of the remaining um chance of not exploding. But the more you add up U, the higher the chance obviously is, so I'm probably somewhere like 69% chance to explode nearby enemies. Good uh next thing is let's talk about the font of thunder. So font of Thunder has the 40% coldon fire damage taken as lightning damage. This is not from hits, this is global okay. This also Counts from dot, so I would take um 40% of an ignite as lightning damage. Then we have the new modifier here with the purity of lightning which says 11% or up to 20% fire and cold damage taken as lightning damage. So now we are at 50% and or above 50% in that case which above is always bad because you actually take more damage. So you want to get this um as close to 50% as possible but with Divine flash we also have 50% of Elemental damage taking as chaos damage. So 50%

coming from the font of thunder Watchers eye combination with Purity of lightning and the other 50% coming from Divine flesh. So I could now run minus uh 200 fire resistance, minus 200 cold resistance, and it wouldn't matter because all the damage, all the fire and cold damage that I take, it's either going to be lightning or chaos, which I have 90% resistance based on a topaz flask, based on the um purity of lightning, and based on aura effect from the um the purity of lightning basically right. And there is still some U modifiers here. You get like plus one maximum lightning resistance. There is also a glorious vanity that gives you Max lightning resistance. So getting 90% um lightning resistance is not really hard. And then 90% chaos resistance since we're getting Divine flesh. We get 5% Max chaos resistance. Then I got here a glorious vanity giving me One Max chaos rest on a couple of sources here. And then I'm stacking basically the um what is it born of

chaos node, so three over here, three over here, makes it six, then plus five here from Divine Flesh, makes it 11, and then I have three mods over here, makes it 14 maximum chaos resistance, and then I'm missing one, I think here in the master, is also like one. This gives me to 90% chaos resistance, so this build currently has 90 all max rest, including chaos, because fire, cold, doesn't care, it's getting converted anyways, so that's actually quite neat to do over here. Then Defs of Destiny got nerfed, but it's still very, very potent and strong against small little hits, and basically, for example, the Dark Forest map where there is Rig Walt and doing his wolf barrage or something, you know, you just stand there and you just tank everything because every wolf that hits you is actually healing you, and it's an ongoing process, which is very, very nice. My boots, I wasn't really bothered crafting them, my gloves neither, so these are like the kind of like weird wonky

things where I just didn't really care about the fire resistance. Doesn't do anything. Um, so all these gloves do is like 120 life and that's basically it. And the boots, I mean, they don't even have stats. It's just for movement speed. And with the Mage blood, it's basically speed, speed, more gold, and getting um, basically lightning resistance and avoid being shocked for my um, storm shw Jewel that I have uh, somewhere. Then another cool thing here is my impossible Escape here. It goes down over here with the precise technique, giving me life potential access to spell suppression. Same over here. So as soon as I would go ahead and craft gloves and boots with spell suppression on it, I would go and pick up the inovate cluster and take with the precise technique those spell suppression notes. But it also gives you access to the new leader of the pack, which is like a monor reservation and AA effect of AA skills or area of effect, which my death oath um, is an Death AA. It is an AA, so it gets increased AOE and

which is like 20% over here, um, and then we have also the Mastery somewhere, and where I also get 30% increased effect of AA skills. These notes are usually not really taken at all, just because who cares about the AOE of your auras, right, if you're not an AA bot, for example. But death oath is an AA, so all these AOE notes will actually help make it feel a lot better. Uh, what else is there in my skill tree? As I said, we recovered the Glorious vanity. Um, we have here born of chaos. This also like normal. Here's my storm shr jeel. We talked about the impossible Escape. Here we have uh light of meaning just to add like chaos damage uh to all these like small little notes just for some extra damage. The Watcher's eye we already covered um and uh that is basically it. I would actually go out and play like a triple large cluster on this side over here and here on the bottom side, which means I need to like remove a couple of

points um somewhere then here I took this um curse Master here just like the minimum amount of points because I needed enemies you curse are hindered. I needed any form of hinder for my touch of Cruelty note over here. Chaos spells have a 10% chance to hinder enemies on hit. We never hit. We don't even have a chaos spell um but it's says enemies hindered by you take 10% increase chaos damage which is a more multiplier. So I needed any way to hinder enemies. Could be a level one blight for example cuz that hinders or you just take one of these masteries and say enemies you curse are hindered and that's basically it cuz we cursing enemies with the on hit from our explosions as well as the dispair uh blasphemy setup that we have over here. So other than that uh item wise do multi life nothing crazy life whatever you need. The problem is you don't really need anything right. We get our chaos rest um super easily from our um occultist ascendency getting like 60%

uh chaos R over here, right? I have here an amethyst ring with a bit of chaos resistance, and that's basically it. And you get all lightning resistance from your period of lightning, so all your suffixes on your items are pretty much free to use. So you can go spell suppression, you can actually go, um, there is a Del modifier. Let me see if I can find one of those over here. I had them on life search, but po trade is currently not loading. But there is an a Del modifier that says 18% increased area of effect of, uh, wait, let me actually, I would like to see that, but it just doesn't load, man. I hate PE trade these days. It's so slow. But like 180% increased area or AA effect on enemies you curse or something like that. Essentially, it gives death oath more damage because, um, increased effect of the AAS on enemies. Oh, here now it loaded so I can show you this. I don't know price fixer 'cause these gloves were

actually super cheap. Uh, two days ago, 80% increased effect of non-curse AAS from your skills on enemies. That's a long sentence, but in the end of the day, it still comes down to the fact that this modifier gives you an increased death oath damage, basically. But there is also like a problem with path of building. I cannot import my character, but I will do as soon as I've done that. Good. Uh, I think everything is explained. The path of building link is in the description below. Let's go over the MTX real quick. If you're wondering, we have the Apolon hood, the tormented body armor, T in the gloves and boots. We have The Verdant Shield, the void weapon with the imperat weapon effect, and the ghost flame treasure hunter effect with ghost flame crystalline charges. The Apolon wings, my exile's ping ring, and The imperator Apparition portal effect. Then all my AAS are basically disabled, running the despair Herald effect as well as the Wasteland uh flame Dash. But that's

pretty much it. Oh, and the new ghost flame ghoul character effect, which makes like this nice-looking, um, kind of like AA effect around my character. But overall, I think this is like such a hands-down, like so cheat, like easy build to play. Usually, I have like my furthest right, um, flask I have on my mouse button right. So, usually when I'm mapping, I'm just putting this over here because this is my source of corrupted blood immunity right now 'cause I need to fix that. But then I have like my life flask on my mouse, and then I just run around, you know, just don't care about anything. I have my stone burst on right click for the more heavy single target if I get corrupted blood or need a life FL, and I just use my mouth so I don't need anything, um, to just run around and just explode monsters and just having a good time without doing anything but exploding monsters and do, uh, and get all the loot. All right, guys, thanks for tuning in, thanks for watching, and see you on the next video.
