If you are spamming point with this build your inting. This is not an AOE statpad mage. You are a bruiser groups ranged dps. You need to be playing with your group for value and securing kills, noone can exist in small fights around point that you are looking at. Its free space that allows for effective bombs to coordinated onto point that win wars, not 4.5mill damage that is going to be healed by a single aoe healer. As others have said the ig/vg is much better at targeted plague (scream) and plague crits is free value with the cdr on crit built into vg. Ive been playing this build since artifacts came out, and it performs 10x in oprs compared to wars when played like you have displayed here due too the unpredictability of healers in opr. If you want to brain off aoe statpad use Dee Freeze for the +base damage.
Not sure why I'm trolling if that's my role, but ok. Regarding the IG/VG I agree that you can do plague combination with the gloves artefact, but this is completely different role. With IG artefact I might do more damage, but I prefer to be more useful with extra anti-heal.
@@Lidiq- You used the term trolling, not me. And that’s exactly my point, ig/vg is pure support, let them support. With bruisers running with 18-22k hp and you hitting point, leaving your group to loose the 4v5 effectively puts your entire army at a 45v50 (all things being equal) so, how you play this build relies on your army to already be winning. That doesnt work if your army gets staggered and you have to regroup and start the fight again. The skill ceiling with this role in wars isnt how you press the buttons. Its what fight you take and when you take it.
@@kanebear12 In my opinion inting and trolling are same, but since English is not my mother tongue, sorry for misunderstanding. Just to clarify, I still do the necessary damage and my group is point group. Thank you for the explanation, but I know the results from it and I'm happy with them. GL & HF
I don't think that there is a direct answer to this, as there are too many factors. However, in this specific role, your main goal is damage so most of the times people go for over 350 INT on their mages.
Still think emerald > converting damage. even if you do run into the resistances, the damage increase to low targets helps secure the actual kills. You might get more overall damage to pad, but effective padding = securing kills. Purely padding to pad is not really optimal for a war
yeah but with the amount of fire resistance ppl run these days that converted damage might total the same as emerald, plus emerald isnt as much as it seems because of base dmg calculations. nature harnassing is good cos it buffs poison from pesti too
Depends on what *farmed* means. In an equal skill war or when your team is a bit better, you should not have a problem to statpad the point and provide the anti-heals. If they are roaming freely in your back then you should assume that your dex is free in their back, no?
its just crazy a few times in your video, a spear gets on you, hits you once or twice gets you down to half, you net shot away and they just completely ignore you. it would take them maybe 10 more seconds at most to kill you@@Lidiq-
@@Lidiq- well first and foremost, there’s such more better builds to spread plague(fs to pump point but your vg should be running plague crits + scream for plagu cap) so you’re just a stat pad build that has splash damage. Because you’re not really plaguing anyone who isn’t plagued by vgs. Hence why Spears are used now instead of FS. And what I mean by farm is you’re gonna get called out every respawn and they’re gonna push their lanes to hunt you. You’re a 2 shot, you’re benched in NA real wars.

why not plagued crits on FS and apply the anti-heal there?@@Lidiq-

Im curious to see what actual gear you have on your character to see how you got 483 Intel + your other stats.
Attuned Leather Pants is the key for that. This is why I play this artefact since day one on my mage.
how much damage are you actually getting from going past 350 int? has anyone done the math on it? Have heard it's not worth.

@@HazzarLovesTunez I was just about to answer, and I saw this :)
Overall, there is always a bit of a guessing game, but the split is more stable.

@@KevOfPeen yeah he’s a two tapper to NA kill squads
