Question act II question Reply to this Post Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Posts Report Post to a Moderator       Go to the top of this page
I know im not that close to doing them yet but since I only have one more quest stopping me from entering act II but Id like to know once Iv done all my act II pilgrimage quests, should I stay as a cultist or change to cursed one.



question for cursed one: If I do change, should I keep my BK tattoo set or change tattoos? and what to?

P.S: copied from my clan message, too lazy to edit :T

if u really want to be both BK and a cursed one go for it
look up player helldemon hes a mellee cursed 1 but only bonus he gets is the arcana"horror"

BUT changing to a cursed 1 would limit your abilities as a bk an awful lot as cursed 1 isnt geared toward melee tattoos at all

cultists in act 2 rocks btw
searing blood kicks ass at that lvl especially if u find it hard hitting mobs
and if u want to be bk there agility arcana would ofc be a great help

why dont u go act2 and decide later?? u dont have to change right away
go to act2 and see what it's like as a cultist for a while b4 you make a big cdesicion

Stay cultist if your staying melee, cursed 1 only gives 10 agility and a slight blood boost and horror that helps the clan your in, i only switched cos i did'nt like being absorber if i had choice i'd pick beastmaster, cultist or thoughtcatcher over cursed one

Yeah that's a good question. I thought Searing Blood always hits, whatever the stats or def.

Or do you mean that SB damage is lowered by the defense of the mob ?

Ah, so because BKs at high level of tattoos need high defense, it's possible that in the end their SB attacks might miss half of the time ?

That's pretty harsh.

Searing blood is still your best choice.

Cursed might be ok, but most of the arcana is aimed at being a gunner, except Horror. Night Hunter is useless for you, and the other one lowers your agility rendering you useless in most cases.

And if I observe most people in the expos I'm on, Searing Blood is usually a sure and stable source of damage, so go for it.

It came to the devs attention that players were SB tanking, where their soul damage was that of Searing Blood. At level 3 BK tattoos, you're looking to have around 125 defence minimum, unless you're stupid with your gear setup. You'll still be within the boundaries of searing blood.

As Sapling says, Cursed is useless for you, especially at your level. Stick with Cultist.

Lucifer, I took the liberty to spy you. It's a wee bit off topic, but change your Field Cape with a Good Vest of the Deathsower when you get the chance. More agility and damage.
