I want to PvE content only like a solo / farming stuffs, just wondering what is the best path to go, i have some builds in mind:
Bokor2 or 3>Diev1>Oracle>PD2
Kim’s build without Pardoneer maybe an Oracle1 or Miko
Diev3>Druid or Oracle or Miko>PD2
i just want to DPS everything with my Cleric and ofc solo leveling / PvE content with my Guild m8’s
Damballa damage is (1025 + Matk + Mamp + property attack) * 2 * attribute % PER ZOMBIE
My Matk now is 1k6 and attribute 60%, my Damballa damage is about 8k PER ZOMBIE. It means 15 zombies exploded deal 8 * 15k = 120k damage to ALL MOBS in the aoe effect. And Damballa aoe effect is huge.
When you use damballa in Uphill onto a huge group of mob, it is like a Earthshaker blink into this group and use Echo Slam. NOTHING CAN SURVIVE
is 120k high? considering the set up time of 15 zombies just to deal 120k aoe damage, how many zombies usually spawns when using damballa? yeah i know bokor3 is really good for uphill
You don’t need to set up 15 zombies as shown in my video.
0-4 (maybe 5) zombies spawn per damballa, but no one knows how they are calculated yet. All I know is if you have a lot out you tend to end up with quite a lot less (maybe you won’t spawn more than your zombify cap). Maybe having a higher level zombify is better for the skill in this case, i don’t know yet.
120k every 5-14 seconds is no joke and his magic attack is fairly low.
how are you dealing that with 5-15 secs? its already hard for me to raise zombies with zombify area with bokor2, have you tested it in 300 contents up? its quite easy in pre 300 but once the hp is around 300-500k we gonna have to rely on zombie capsule and the CD of it to spawn zombies
You don’t need 15 zombies to do the full damballa damage 6-8 is a safe number. I usually approach my first set of mobs without damballa and then it recycles itself.
Damballa’s cd is 19 with a 5 sec duration. In grind parties though I’d take the attribute off so it’s 9 seconds.
300 and up you have other sources of damage but damballa still keeps up because it has a high damage before mdef reduction. If you’re a PD you have the benefit of multiplying your damage by 30% through hexing’s debuff spread. If you’re a druid you have the benefit of doubling your matk and an easier setup.
Damballa has a cast time that’s as quick as casting heal so there’s no reason not to use it at any level.
See in this video I did at least 4 explosions which is already 1/3 of damballa’s damage. The thing is with damballa it spawns the zombies at the same time so they explode at the same time, so I have to say at least 4. Sometimes with 1 zombie you get a dud though as shown and sometimes you’ll get an extra zombie or more (Max I’ve seen is 4 zombies spawn from 1)
ohhh nice to hear, can you make a video of your character with damballa in 300 content? would really appreciate it, it seems druid would be better for easier set up? with zombify and carnivory than having to kite them with PV and incineration until dead
I’m not there yet unfortunately
This video shows how much more damage it does with just 4 zombies, kind of eclipses every other skill in his kit. He’s just showcasing the damage and zombie spawns if you’re wondering. Not 300+ though close in anycase.
You dont need to have 15 zombies at the moment you cast Damballa. Damballa will revive some of your zombies, and if you cast damballa in the middle of Zombify Circle, mob in this circle will be dead by Damballa will rise some Zombie too.
My Zombify lv now is only 5. Maximum Zombies I have is 9 and my Damballa still can explode 15 zombies. (or 18 zombies with Divine).
But if your Zombify level is too low (like me, only 5), this is very hard to solo Uphill. I dont have skill reset and I ran Uphill everyday in 1 month to train my skill. Now I can solo it with the great help of PD2 Black Steam. But if you get your Zombify level higer (10 or 15), I’m sure you can solo Uphill with short time training.
If you are in Telsiai server, you can see my IGN is on top of Uphill defense: Pepsi_coca
There is a hidden interaction between hex and zombie that spawns zombies when killed while hexed right? does it work with damballa since you sacrifice zombies for it? that would be great if it worked.
May I ask what’s the point in clearing uphill? what do you get from it? how many mins per run of it?
No, Damballa just spawns zombies on it’s own further increased by the attribute.
For each clear:
_50 point PvP for each clear, means 100 points per day. (Others players need 0.5 to 1 hour per day for 50 points with stupid bug in pvp, you just go uphill for 1 hour and get ez 100 point)
_1 gem abrasive lv2. ( Its 180 points PvP if you only go PvP, and you need 3.5 PvP days to get it.)
_5 Attok Box. (can get Terranium and Mithril from this)
_ 1 Terranium and 1 Mithril
_ Alot of SP potion, HP potion, SP&HP potion, blah blah blah… These junk items I dont need and throw them all to storage.
1 Uphill full run is about 25 to 30 minute.
To clear Uphill, others players need 3 to 5 players well organise like Diev3, Ele3, SR3 blah blah blah (like going ET). And they pay money for many barriers. You just need solo (or get 1 more person with good level, enough to survive by himself, this person is a plan B if you are dead unfortunately).
ohh looks good! I didn’t know the rewards thanks! I’m already bokor2 pardoner1 going to rank 6 can I still switch to bokor3? my initial plan is to take oracle for r6 then pd2, would I still be able to solo uphill? I heard oracle really helps with prophecy. The zombies you posted and nedpggleton looks interesting so might try it out and I haven’t been to uphill as well because of non meta classes I got.
I think you can solo uphill if rank 6 you get Diev. You can follow Kim’s build. But you only can solo uphill when you are extremely strong like Kim. And i’m not sure he can clear Uphill everytime he goes in
is oracle that vital to complete solo uphill? like your build?
Bokor 2 - Pardoner - Oracle - PD2…
Cant solo uphill. Hahaha
Your only choice is Bokor2 - Padonner - Diev - PD2. Copy Kim’s build and buy a SCR +15. God will bless you.
