I'll take another look at the gloves later, thanks for the suggestion.

Be prepared to burn some alts - if it's the same as the Cold ones I made last league I think the expected spend for a T1 DOT mod is measured in the thousands of alteration orbs (not even considering getting a 2nd junk stat and having your annnul whiff).

That is true. I spent 2ex on alts and annuls. Such is life

Here is a link for people who are not that well informed about how to craft the bows for the end-game.

crafting-multimodding explained in detail.

cheers, and ty for a nice build guide :)

I can craft everything except for the top non-ailment chaos multi mod on by bow. Where can I look to find someone that offers that service? Thanks

Pick someone with a lot of vouches. Up to you if you prefer free/paid/tip.

According to this thread, increase area damage doesn't work with ED?

Yes, we may take some dual purpose nodes or use Carcass Jack for increased area of effect for Contagion to spread easier. The damage part doesn't work for us.

Hi guys

Im trying this build and like it so far :) I play HC, so I would like to play MoM... I just dont understand how you fit in all the auras? Blood and Sand, Malevolence, blasphemy+despair, vaal grace?

Thanks in regards

Hello again. So I have a new question, for long boss fights which one is better?

Having blight for wither stacks or wither totem set-up? I feel like I don't proc wither stacks as much as I should do with blight

I run Blood and Sand as well as Malevolence. That reserves 75%. Vaal Grace is only used for the Vaal activation to provide some extra temporary dodge when you get in a particularly dicey situation. You don't actually run the Grace aura. Blasphemy + Despair or Temp Chains are used if you have the Impresence or Solstice Vigil amulets, respectively. Those amulets allow you to run those curses as auras for free.

There are a lot of other complexities that can also affect this. Devouring Diadem grants reduced mana reservation, as does Enlightenment gem, as do several nodes on the tree. Essence Worm ring grants one free reservation but raises the rest. Aul's rolls a random aura and makes it free. You get the picture. Everybody tweaks their build slightly, and you have to know what items they're using to get the full picture (as well as if they're actually using the aura or just the vaal part for vaal auras).

The weighting for non-ailment chaos dot multi on gloves is 4x as big as T1 NACDOTM on wands. I felt like 1500 or so alterations was what it took to roll T1 on a wand, so I'm surprised it's that hard to get on gloves. I've never attempted to craft chaos dot gloves though, and there's no way I'm going to compile the weights of all the rest of the mod pool to compare. Maybe the weightings on the rest of the suffixes are just way bigger in total.

how does double damage work with DoT? my timeless jewel gives me 5% chance to do double damage but i'm guessing it's not very good with DoT
