Nope. That’s tos at its finest.
(The other attribute, the one that gives +10% dark damage passively does work as you’d hope.)
that just made warlock a lot less appealing to me. was hoping to get some sick dark damage but i guess i’ll just go necro3 instead lol
You can get a lot more from Warlock than necro3, but yeah that attribute’s a no-go.

Yeah… I don’t think it’s intended either since it’s obviously trash this way, and it even reads “half the effect for party members”. Like, half the effect for THIS?
But wether or not it’s intended we can’t expect it to change anytime soon… if ever.
Good lord,
thx for that info because i honnestly was thinking the skill was bugged on itos and just did not add the 30%.
I guess it’s just another really bad description

Yeah it’s been bugging me for a while how i saw no damage increase from it - i tried several things like changing gear while standing on top of it (in case it had snapshot shenanigans like laima) etc… Till i decided to ask my friend to use his cat. Lo and behold, 50 dark dmg turned 65.
Like i said i do hope that’s a bug, but honestly even if it is i can’t see a fix in the horizon. It makes me think that balance is somewhat fine in their eyes because of stuff like this - they think things work when they really don’t. And of course we’re left in the dark without knowing wether things are bugged or just intended since tooltips and general info is horrible in this game.
Like Invocation is the perfect example: It has no damage numbers on its tooltip. So you assume well, it just takes DT’s base damage and hit count? Except it doesn’t, it just has the same scaling. So then you think: Why doesn’t it have an attribute? Because the devs actually think it’s taking DT’s numbers atm (and consequently its attribute as well)? Or just an oversight? Because no skill that has damage as its sole purpose should lack an attribute.

Has anyone tested Mastema yet? Will it do multiple hits at C1 or you need the attribute at C2 for it to do that?
Tested it myself. Still sux.
is it a lv5 Mastera? Because I dont think new att of Mastera give it DOT
Just level1… Don’t know yet if i’ll invest more skill points to it atm.
I just turned warlock with my kino and invested the very first skill point to it.
I agree with you on the attribute, i also don’t think that it’s the one who will give mastema the dots.
Any updates on this one?
I know kTOS got Rank 8. Any news from their fansites?
Elememe Warlock 2 is still pretty strong. Frost Cloud is starting to fall off but if you got ~100 attribute and 2k+ matk you can still kill a pack of mobs probably. The biggest problem would be the fact that everone can burst now so 10 seconds is sort of too much time for it’s damage.
Linker 3 Warlock 2 is stronger and more versatile PvE/ET-wise. Linker 3 is only support though, you get bad at bossing and some specific content though. It is, as far as I know, considered meta DPS wizard as of now.
Linker can link only 10 targets max, what if i have 11 or more?
Ofc its rare but still, linker have too many limitations for me.
And next thing is linker is useless on bosses/single target compared to ele3.
For linker build its still better to take Chrono/FF/Necro/Sorc, not Warlock. It is just not optimal. Maybe on R9.
So yeah, ele3/w2 is still strong with 90+ attributes. Transcendence and upcoming new 300+ items only help to keep 1 FC = 1 pack of mobs dead.
We saw that korean video with ele3 soloing new content. But he was without new weapon and without 8 chappa cards. (only 5 or 6 equipped)
With that, this guy can achieve ~15k FC tick (45k per second for 4s=180-190k plus another 6s without chappa ~160k). Its enough to kill strongest pack in game (excluding ET ofc).

It is work, but you are cripple yourself on bosses and single target.
Warlock have good synergy with Ele.
Linker1/2 is only for brainless grind, nothing more, but taking a low rank classes on rank7/8 is a terrible idea.

And do you know what happened to all the skills debate?
Whether to max mastema or dark theurege or whether the c2 skills are worth it. If you know or heard from anywhere, I’d like to know the optimal skill points allocation for c2 warlocks, now that the patch is out in korea.
I hardly believe there are tests made thoughoutly available right.
Drain and Sabbath are worth 0 points right now because Drain isn’t working at all and Sabbath is a bad concept to begin with (Bwa Kaiman like, no CC and consumes the spirits instead of the way zombies don’t explode on that)
About Mastema: I will test it myself as soon as we get it. IF there is increse in the DoTs damage from every skill level, this will be the place to put all of your remaining points. If they only scale with attributes, matk and quickcast, but not with skill level, then Level 1~2 (whatever to get the attribute) is fine.
For WB Hunters, PoA is a very solid damage skill, even on long cooldown, alied with a PoA scroll and yours being level 15 you could have ~40% uptime even on that stupid huge cooldown. (27 seconds + 10~14 (not sure) DoT seconds followe by a 8 + 10~14 seconds one, considering you fully use DoTs). Obviously, too stationary, not practical since has too long CD, 1 point is fine.
Evil Sacrafice is a way to use invocation while drain doesn’t get fixed, poor damage and buggy, I have it for PvP.
DT 10 is obvious, Invocation is mostly about what you want: You can have 100% uptime on level 7 Invo with +5 seconds new attribute and the same number of hits as level 8. level 9 if you +1 hit or 10 if you want it for ET (since you generaly have Divine Might for important skills)
