Theorycraft Me a Disfavour Build

Curse on hit build. Level 4 enhance for best results.

Skill that hits (frenzy or cyclone or firestorm or something) - Curse on hit (23 quality for 11% stronger curses) - Temp Chains - Vulnerability - Level 4 Enhance (6 in axe) - melee physical/conc effect/faster casting

Here's the interesting thing. If you used cyclone you would hit with curses that would make the mob take 72% increased physical damage and move 72% slower (as opposed to 45%). The mobs may as well be stopped. Since frenzy and cyclone hit really fast (especially with a 60 quality frenzy) you'll likely proc the curses, and then hit again after they're applied so you'll get the damage boost for the hit from vulnerability (72% more damage) for the bleed effect, which will last for 10 instead of 5 seconds and do 40% extra damage from vulnerability. Should just be able to cyclone through white mobs and they'll die from the bleed... eventually. Offscreen because it took so long... Where you can't see the loot or get the exp from it. BUT THEY'LL BE DEAD I SAY!

I mean, probably not the most useful way to kill mobs but it's something. The mana cost wouldn't even be out of control at 31 mana a swing for frenzy (on a relatively slow weapon) and 61 per cyclone.

Could just use a 3 link heavy strike or leap slam with melee phys and melee on full life to hit rares after they're cursed with the cyclone. The bleed from that should also kill them... eventually. Even if they don't move the bleed is still hitting for 2.4 times the damage of the original hit, which is 72% stronger because of vulnerability. 9.8 times damage if they're moving. 17 times the damage if the mob was hit again after vulnerability was applied.

Frenzy for sure.

20% quality from gem itself + 40% from lvl 6 enhance = 60% quality

60% quality = 21% increased attack speed per frenzy charge

Lvl 20 frenzy: 12% phy damage per charge, 11% attack speed per charge

Totals to: 12% phy damage per charge, 32% increased attack speed per charge (LOL)

Seeing as today it's possible to rack up to 10 charges you are looking at 120% phy damage and 320% attack speed from them alone.

Seems like a winning option to me.

Don't forget 6% corrupted AOE belt.


I would cry laughing seeing a full screen cyclone.
