Hello there, my name is Hedon and welcome to the channel. Throughout my life, I've always had countless ideas just buzzing around in my head with seemingly no way to express them. This channel is my self-expression and my videos are the fruits of my internal dialogue. I like to talk about a wide variety of topics including video games, physics, politics, music, and philosophy, but anything that generates an interesting and fruitful discussion is fair game. I hope you enjoy.
You're like a beggar asking the soup kitchen to pick the raisins out of his porridge. Yes his loads could be faster, but they aren't slow by most accounts.
why not switch the aspects on your helmet and amulet so you can get plus 3 mages and warriors for the bonus damage from having more mages and the extra warrior to help proc shadow passive and since army of the dead doesnt loose any stats for being on the helmet you loose nothing and gain a bit more damage
I would actually lose a ton of damage. You are correct in that I would be getting an extra 3%x damage for the extra mage and an extra shadow/aphotic/abhorrent decrepify cooldown proc from the warrior. But dont forget, unyielding commander is 150%x damage (on amulet) vs 100%x (on helm) so by making the switch that you are suggesting, I would be losing 50%x damage in favor of 3%x damage and slightly extra shadow proc. Definitely not worth it.
Yea we did hrs n hrs I’d 61-70s for ease of dungeon and glyph ups, and came out with like 140 yellow bags and 35 grand ones. No Ubers, but did get some upgrade and LOTS of gold! And u are right…it’s soo much better doin it in a group. Imma do it again tomorrow. - X -
Thank you for the support. Much appreciated. Yeah dude I tested out so much stuff. I think this is the best setup so far. I can still get a bunch of double or triple greater affix gear with way more life on it. If I can then I'm going to drop enough life in my board to fit an 8th board in to take control glyph. I tried doing this already but I just kept dying because I dropped from 44k life to 28k life. Not worth the extra glyph lol
@fruitsofhedon6432 yeah I thought something was up when I saw hits for only 100s of dmg even your golem hitting for 1m occasionally. I'm doing atleast 1000% more dmg than this without bolts
Even better, I'm making like a 20 minutes comprehensive video going over all skills, book of the dead setup, paragon board, gear setup, how to craft the gear in the best way, etc. And I'll post a link to the build planner in that video.
Awesome job! Best necro Infinimist build out there. And yea the bosses are the toughest part. I’m actually disappointed that’s what they decided to go with for this. They very strong and so much chance of 1 shot even with max everything defense. It’s hard to see that one attack I don’t even know which one does it but it’s a ticking time bomb that explodes. You can destroy it I believe but that’s why it’s so important to group them and stay on top of all their shit or you will die
yep true. It is somewhat better now since the recent nerf to the dungeons. The 20% damage reduction helps. The higher I go in abattoir the more I realize that damage is actually the limiting factor. I have a feeling like 16+ will mean that we have to drop disobedience for even more damage and just try to play better.
I've been making changes to the build on the planner because I found a way to massively increase the damage. Go with the setup in the description rather than the video. I'll be making another video soon when I finish making adjustments to build.
@@fruitsofhedon6432 why are you using the blood board with the nodes that boost when you pickup blood orbs? Lol can't really take that board without some kind of additional changes
@@mcarr416ix I am using prey on the weak again to make enemies vulnerable through metamorphosis. So I swapped out my vulnerable corpse tendril modifier to the blood orb one. I'm generating orbs all the time now so I benefit from those damage bonuses.
There is currently a bug going on in the game which gives more dungeon progression than intended. I suspect it will be patched today if not this weekend. The game is treating the expiration of bone prison as an elite death. So spamming bone prison gives progression. Im not telling anyone to do this but one could remove a point from reap and spec into bone prison and put that on bar instead of reap and maybe subtract a minute or two off of dungeon time ;) Maybe if someone were to build up enough density then they could get immediate reset on prison with abhorent decrepify. I totally don't recommend anyone try this but it exists.
Yep I'm going to make one very soon. I'm seeing what works best for abbatoir. I guarantee there are going to be a bunch more changes to the glyph and glyph xp. So far I completed a t11 Abbatoir dungeon with this build!
Bone spear has higher damage if built properly but there are several reasons why I think my Infinimist is superior to the traditional bone spear build, especially for Abbatoir of Zir. First, damage is not the issue because the new Tears of blood glyph will provide way more than enough damage for either build. Survivability will be a major problem for bone spear vs Infinimist. If you die in these new dungeons then it's game over and you have to start over. Survivability should be heavily prioritized. Infinimist has way more uptime on blood mist which is invulnerability, the best thing Necro has for Abbatoir. Ultimately I disagree but you should always play the build that you enjoy the most :)
Sure! This is gonna be a long one. I think the non-crit version with Black River and no X'Fals is the superior way to play Infinimist for both damage and survivability for several reasons. Playing corpse explosion damage instead of stacking shadowblight like the version you are talking about means you get to keep howl from below because you don't need crit from the gloves, you get more additive damage from both rings, and you save a skill point by not taking bone storm crit skill. Also the main reason why I play it is because you can scale corpse explosion more than you can shadow blight. I still take shadowblight to get the corpse explosion damage increase with blighted amulet aspect but I do not rely on shadowblight for damage. You can proc shadowblight really fast with the version that you are talking about but you can never proc is fast enough to outweigh the constant dps that corpse explosion provides. Black River is probably the biggest determining factor. It only works on corpse explosion damage and not shadowblight. The multiplier is 130% x damage per corpse up to 4. That's 520% multiplicative damage! That's insanely broken. There is no other item that can scale that much that I can think of. This comment is already super long and I can go forever so I'll do a few more quick reasons. Exhumation glyph doesn't work with shadowblight, you save an aspect because you don't have to use decay, Xfal's is also not scaled as much as corpse explosion can be. X'Fals is great when you first put the build together but when you ramp up corpse explosion damage enough, the damage is not worth losing an aspect slot. Also getting shako makes it even more difficult to fit aspects in. Oh and shako scales skills which is how i get my skill to 23 points. Let me know if you have any more questions! :)
I'll make a video about it soon but really quickly, swap out gravekeeper for the new glyph. Drop all the damage to healthy/injured nodes to free up points for the core nodes around the glyph. Completely fill in all the core nodes within the new glyph. Rotate boards around to enter and exit boards more efficiently because pathing will change slightly when dropping the injured/healthy nodes.
Good question. If you don't have Shako, using flicker step instead of ghost walkers on the boots and explosive on helm is actually a really solid choice. But ultimately, because I got Shako I am forced to put explosive on the boots slot.
Seems great any idea where you will put the new AoZ glyph ? Would make sense instead of Gravekeeper to keep the rare bonuses but probably points would need to be rearranged.
You hit the nail right on the head. I don't want to give away too much since I'm making an entire updated video about it but yes. You would drop gravekeeper, a lot of the damage to healthy/injured nodes so you have more points leftover, flip some boards and replace gravkeeper with Tears of Blood.
i feel that your armor is a little low for abattoir, for me I have armor over movement speed on the amulet and also disobedience on the shield currently i dropped blood mist and use blight instead because of the high lucky chance, and you keep spam it while blood mist feels too slow, i guess its probably not called infinimist at this point haa... another thing is don't roll dmg red when fortified because you won't be able to benefit from it when you have bone storm up
Good point, my armor is absolutely a bit too low for Abattoir. With disobedience it shoots up to about 11.5k but this is still shy of the cap. These are my thoughts: At first I was thinking about taking armor instead of movement on neclace but I've decided against it. If you use the new Tears of Blood glyph in the flesheater board you overcap your resistances which means you drop resistance jewels in jewelry in favor of armor. Or even spec out of the weaker resistance nodes for some more armor nodes nearby. This lets you hit the 85% armor cap of around 13.5k armor even without needing it on necklace! I'll be releasing a new build guide at some point before Abattoir with all of these changes factored in. I haven't released it yet because the new glyph looks stupid broken so I'm expecting changes before release. The lucky hit chance from blight is really nice but there are a few reasons why I keep mist. The black river increases damage the more corpses you consume on cast. So if you blood mist it does proc explosions slower but each one is stronger because it consumes more. Blood mist also has unparalleled utility. It's a must have for every necro build in my opinion. There are other reasons but this comment is already too long lol. Pertaining to what you said about fortified, this is interesting but I'm not sure if this is true. I believe that you benefit from fortify even if barrier is up. Even if not, if you get hit hard enough for it to matter, your barrier drops but you still have fortify to benefit. The fortify regen is nuts. Let me know if I addressed all your questions or if you have anymore!
Amazing build. I run the lidless shield but I'm going to switch over to this build. Do you think it this build will work in the AoZ when it gets released?
Not only will it work for Abbatoir of Zir but I think it is one of the best builds for it. With enough density, you can have permanent uptime and blood mist so you are invincible. I'm releasing an update for Abbatoir today. I have cleared a T12 so far which is insanely high for a Necro.
This is the best paragon board for the infinimist build than I have seen yet. I have redone my board costing me about 50 million at this rate LOL. Thank you so much for min-maxing this like a champ!
@@fruitsofhedon6432 I was using Blight, Lidless Wall and XFals before switching over. The Blood-Soaked Aspect and Aspect of Explosive Mist just makes this build feel so much smooth and better with Ghostwalker aspect! I also went for pants with 3 defensive stats and 4+ corpse explosion!
Depends. Bone spear has more damage and can skip through Echo of Lilith's phases faster but it can't be in blood mist as long. Infinimist has a more smooth playstyle and is tankier. Bone spear is more squishy and I think the playstyle is a bit clunky. They are both very good so I'd go based on the info I listed or whichever one you think is the coolest.
Thank you. Even though I was getting overwhelming support It's just difficult for me to put myself out there, I'm way too critical of myself. I think I'll repost both videos as a short and full video though.
Hey man! I'm really sorry if I came across as an asshole the other day on your short, i really didn't mean to. I just read your channel description and man, i feel you so much. That fact that you're brave enough to put yourself out there. Honestly I'm inspired
No you didn't man it's just difficult for me to put myself out there and even though I was getting overwhelming support I felt very nervous about posting it. I think I'll post it again as a short and then to my actual channel too. Thank you for the support.
The DMO set has 12500% damage multiplier. LoD has 750% multiplier. So, the LoD power is only 6% of the damage provided by set. Can you please explain, how LoD versions compensates the rest of 94% lost damage?
That's a good question. LoD at max level 99 actually gives 375% damage multiplier per legendary equipped and double that so 750% PER ITEM. So with 13 ancient items equipped that's 9,750% total. Which is still smaller than the 12,500% that you pointed out. But you have to take into account the fact that with LoD there is flexibility with each legendary that you choose. There is also more flexibility with skills that you have since a lot of set bonuses require you to take certain skills. LoD you can theory craft and do whatever you want. That's what enables reverse archon and bazooka wizards to be a thing in the meta. With set bonuses you are stuck with 6 set pieces that you can't swap out (or 5 if you have ring of royal grandeur). DMO is also very strong but something about theory crafting LoD builds is very satisfying and not many youtubers do theory crafted stuff.
I love the way in which you articulated these perspectives. You have a strong call to action tone, which is invaluable to making real change in the world. I agree with you that many workers probably consider meritocracy to be in effect when they work for a wage. Of course, as you stated, wages are fixed, and non-reflective of labor value. Salaried employees also make a fixed rate, even if it doesn't typically correspond directly to hours worked. Usually, once you are no longer an hourly employee, you can effectively take time off from work more frequently, and still receive a set income. Though, the increase in pay, as well as the overall job security associated with being a salaried employee, is at least partially correlated to the total time spent working for a particular company. Any system of meritocracy should, at the very least, account for labor value, prior experience, and total duration of service. Every metric related to what you contribute to your workplace is what you should get out of it.
lol right now i'm rank1 monk on ps5 with a clear time of 4mn42 the rank1 lod twister wiz is 1K paragons higher then me i'm 4.5k he is 5.5k and he's fastest clear time is just under 8mn i beleive also this build you are showing isnt even the strongest lod wiz build since it's well underpowerded compare to lod reverse archon twister you have no clue what you are talking about
It is more underpowered than the Reverse Archon version. I acknowledged that in the video. This is a non archon version of the build. I am also not surprised that it is underperforming compared to your build because this LOD Wiz is a much more involved playstyle than the extremely straight forward and simple build that you are playing now. It's unrealistic to compare a build that I put together to a commonly played build. The sample size isn't large enough to justify your premature comment. Also saying that I don't know what I am talking about is meaningless if you don't provide a substantial reason.
@@fruitsofhedon6432 i think the premature statement was to say that build you made a video about is the most powerfull build on console for s25 on console, when it's clearly not even close to multiple monk builds , multiple crusader build and a couple of other wizards build wizards builds and more i think so far on ps5 18 differents builds have cleared 150 on ps5 and this build you showcase isn't one of them so you opening the video by sayin this is the most powerfull build on console is the reason why i say you have no clue about what you are saying
@@tibolcb6446 I don't deny that the builds you named perform highly on the leaderboards. The sheet damage of LOD Twister Wizard is higher than the monk, and area damage gives this build even more potential if the map is good which leads me to believe that this is the highest performing potential build. Whether that has played out on the leaderboards is a different question entirely. This build is rarely being tested this season and like I said in the previous comment, is much more difficult to play correctly. It's okay to disagree with me but to say that I don't know what I am talking about is being uncharitable. If you want to talk with me further about the specifics of the build then that would be a more productive conversation.
@@fruitsofhedon6432 the sheet dmg of LOD reverse archon isn't higher than monk or dh since AD isn't calculated into sheet dmg unlike the monk AS for exemple LOD reverse archon cannot kill the boss fast enough without a power pylon and having 40 second of doing 0dps while in archon every minute or so make this build not competitive and again this video is about the lod twister build, not reverse arachon, which you describe as the most powerfull build in s25 which is flat out wrong so yup i maintain that you have no clue specilly since you mention sheet dmg which literally means nothing since AS isn't calculated into your sheet dmg neither are archon stack and also the possible most powerfull build ever that is akha/inkoer bomb sader with the 100%CHC soulshard this season has a tiny sheet dmg since you have 0%CHC on the gear but is potentially the biggest dmg output of every build ever in D3 history so yup i maintain what i said and please make some research before posting a guide next time because somebody might actually burn a lot resources following a guide thinking he'll build something powerfull which would turn out to be below average at the end specially a build like lod twister really hard to gear up corectly
The deathblow explosion is better but even better than both of those is the cooldown one. Cooldown actually increases your damage because of the captain crimsons bonus.
Savewizard. It's not a very fulfilling way to play in my opinion with it but I chose to get it so that I can show you the optimal rolls that you guys should try to get.
If by pools you mean XP pools then yes they work. You can stack up to 10 of them at once and they persist as long as you do not die. They even persist if you back out of the realm and join a new one. But when you gain like 4 levels they drop off and you'll have to stock up on more again. So it's only ever worth taking the time to find them if you are at an extremely high level and are getting less than 1 level per GR. At this point in the season I would not recommend taking them unless they are right in front of you and you don't have to search.
I could be wrong since I’m on Xbox and not ps but on Xbox you can just hold the buttons down while killing. You don’t have to keep hitting the button over and over.
You are correct, you can just hold the buttons down. But I find it uncomfortable to hold down explosive blast, twister, disintegrate, and diamond skin without accidently spamming magic weapon or teleporting unwantedly. So I split up the skills into two sections. I set explosive blast and prism as circle and triangle so I can easily lay my thumb over it. And I'll set up square as twister and the back trigger as disintegrate. I can teleport around freely with the front trigger.
This build is considered more endgame so if you would like to level up quick regardless of what paragon you are at then I would consider using the Firebird Console version which I will be releasing soon :)
Great guide, you have convinced me to change to wizard from DH. Any chance you could do a guide for t16 and speed gr builds? Thanks for taking the time to produce this guide👍
Do u think that fire twister version will be more powerful than classic arcane version? What do u think about using crit chance on all gear and Essence of Anguish in weapon’s socket with Poison weapon damage (to proc gem) ?) I’m sorry for my bad English ) vodka balalaika
For this season I do believe that the fire version is better than the arcane version especially on console. Firebird Wizard does not proc area damage but the LOD wizard does. For this reason I think it is better to go with the remnant of pain over the essence of aguish. Because with the LOD version you do not have captain crimsons set and cannot gain increased damage with the extra damage provided by the cooldown from the essence of anguish. I am currently using firebirds though and the essence of anguish is great with that build in addition to the shard of hatred
at the time unfortunately not. Because it was for PS4 and PS5 so there is no PTR. But I am doing firebird so far until I get to a good enough level to do this build.
Good question, which I actually don't have a practical answer for. There could be hypothetical reasons. If the US was in the right and international law is in the moral wrong. But this is never the case and there has never been a good reason for the US to defy international law. I could have chosen strongly disagree but just a flat disagree probably wouldn't change the results much.
