Curse is bm


So no one can use obsession or dracs yet I see that a lot Not sure why lower resist is BM when conviction is allowed. Seems very biased.

What's the context?

Conviction is always better except in 2 situations:
You're poison damage-based.
You're facing Uber Mephisto and your conviction is < level 20.


Yes exactly!

My setup is similar to spider sin where I use hustle so I don't have to go fcr gear which allows more ow. 155frw with bos is kinda hard to hit and can out run guided arrows.

This was specifically meta trap vrs my hustle trap

Mercs aren’t GM
Idk why anyone would cry about proc if you’re self using the plague ofc


Yes self wield plague. Even without LR it's pretty good for how affordable it is.


Also cleansing isn't really effective vrs venom since cleansing procs every 2s and venom only lasts 0.4s assuming zero plr gear and hell difficulty.

summon ^alpha. Why is plague BM of your sin league? Can a rare offhand beat it ever?


because he doesnt understand the mechanics of how a sin works so they arbitrarily banned plague.

Fury was banned because someone could easily get 100% OW and just play a l8z play style.

Largely ALpha and his group likes to lie about the usefulness / value of claws and how to build a sin as a way to push the items they have for profit.

There is no reason why Plague should be banned. The -Res is ez to combat and with opponent using fade, the curse lasts very little duration.

Cleansing is also misunderstood and doesn't provide a global ~-75%plr. It provides that PLR at a certain interval (iirc its every 2 seconds). with venom only lasting ~.8seconds in hell, the amount of times in a particular duel that cleansing will lower the amount of psn damage received by any meaningful amount is very little.

ah ok, I was guilty of misunderstanding cleansing then. I assumed it was global too.

Lower res is easy to counter simply put more resist charm. Plague claw isnt that great performance. Great for budget though
