How's it different from macerator for warcry? The flee would be void anyway with the warcry stun...dreadfang isn't bringing anything new here...

Lacerator had to be wielded by yourself on main or swap and relied on you hitting something with your own weapons. Now you just put Dreadfang on A5 merc and you're done. No need to give up your personal weapon slots or to stop spamming War Cry to proc amp.

0/10 no lethargy ring

I disagree with these dreadfang builds personally.

Ive used it, and i just think the normal insight is better. Nothing takes long to kill imo.

I use hoto + abyss (decrep charges on abyss). I have gavel of pain on swap (amplify dmg charges)

Then, abd this is by far themost important, lethargy lvl 5 on ring.

It was lackluster to begin with but now imo this is better than any herald hunting build

Got a 6 war cry helm recently.
-10% EPR prot jewel
-8% EPR from sunder charm atm (also +70 mana which is sick this build)

With this 95% of things die quick.

Then i use the lethargy ring and it makes 99% Die quick.

For the last percentage: either void decrepify or gavel of pain amplify dmg.


I tried having berserk or ww with crushibg blow as well, but it would be for like 1-2 monsters per fully cleared game and only marginally faster than current setup - and would slow down the rest much more. I also have higher find item with this setup.

It comes back to this - if yoi play te merc amp dmg build or spend points in other places, you ARE gimping the war cry.

If you ha e amp dmg and get 100% more dmg, but you started with a 1900 warcry (like in ilovemf’s recent YouTube video) youre still doubling a super low number.

Now if you wear 6+ in weapon slots and 6+ in helm and 3+ in amulet slot that rockets you upwards, and it means that when you do face a boss or a THICK heral you do MORE with maxed Warcry so you get more out of your Lethargy+amplify/decrep chargecast.

Wouldn't a cleave warlock do a better job here though?
No need to wait for the dreaded dreadfang proc.

Insightful insight for sure. Thanks for sharing.

idk emilio with reaper's toll just looks sideway at that

still a p1 joke build sry

I mean it is the best players 1 build for heralds...
