with Cursed.

And rarely with Might of Fanaticism. Did they hotfix Cursed out of the Hephasto affix pool? When I was swapping builds I had to get a Cursed Hephasto like 4 different times and it only took 1 to 2 times at most. I've done 30 runs and he's always Spectral Hit now. Anyone else having this issue?

why would you want might and fanatism

you want pulse aura + cursed

which he has like 1 out of every 10 runs

if you're single player you may have some specific seed, if online just keep trying

I'm running Warlock Echoing strike which is physical damage. Might or Fanaticism boost the damage of Echoing Strike and Cursed means Hephasto will Amp entire packs, removing any physical immunities and allowing me to 1-2 shot the entire pack.

yes but that sucks still

fanatism barely boosts your damage cos the aura mainly boosts the main users damage, not the party

might you should get from your a2 merc, with a pride weapon for conc aura

then use pulse aura with cursed so every single holy freeze/shock/fire hit will apply amp on everything around you

any aura other than pulse aura sucks ass on echo warlock

hmm i did like 30 runs and got 3x cursed on him with aura on top

but its all RNG if online honestly, theres some good zones to check for

i personally checked a bit of travi (not too bad) river of flame in general is pretty good since almost everything is demon there

best is just to spam river from city of the damned all the way up to chaos, unless you specifically wnat hephasto, but tbh i have him and hes useless af as opposed to other mobs like grotesque or council member
