Why don't physical builds use Vulnerability? Its basically 29% more damage

i use curse on hit + vuln on my puncture with my crit bow char, but its the only time i use it. I used cwdt enfeeble on melee chars, I feel like melee do so much deeps they dont need a dps curse.

will use vuln in case i change my low life spectral throw to a ranger CI, for phys dmg vulnerability is GREAT, even tho a crit phys ranger does not need more dps, melee chars can cast a curse only with CWDT i guess

ranger with bow is undiscussed #1 char now and in 2.0 even more if tornado shot does not get nerfed and gmp gets buffed

i have no use for these atm, but still op with the double curse jewel using these acuity+herald of thunder curse on hit

I like using it with curse-on-hit corrupted gloves, then gearing for defense as much as possible the rest of the way. It takes a lot of pressure off of offensive opportunity costs.

I could see using Vulnerability to double dip in a physical+fire proliferating build, i.e. Molten Strike with proliferating Herald of Ash, but otherwise I don't tend to think of it as being particularly useful. As others have stated, the game favors crit in end game and I would certainly outweigh the usefulness of Assassin's Mark, whereas I would tend to lean more heavily towards defensive curses if I weren't playing as a crit based build.

I fucked myself up on another dudes vurna curse to a reflect mob in a reflect map on hc. Now Im very careful when people are using vurna.

I'm addicted to stun swirlies. Warlords mark all the way.

It's because most Phys builds have either Added Fire or Hatred, or both. And those aren't boosted by that curse. For example, most EK builds are about 50% Elemental in reality, even more if going for Crit.
