I'm just a guy being a dude. I like to run my zealer all round right. Grief pb, sure; maybe a little edeath war spike action in the mix; perhaps destruction phase blade for some spice. However, when I comes to the tower, arcane sanctuary, essentially anywhere there are physical immunes, I need my merc with reaper to break the immunity. Is famine viable against physical immunes? Does it provide sufficient magic and elemental damage to cut through spectors with some semblance of ease? Okay, that's all I got. Thanks for any insight you can provide

put a point in vengeance?

I can get 4frame zeal with famine ba, I'm trying to leverage this dps

wouldn't vengeance with grief be better?

...3.12 attacks per second using vengeance. 5.2 attacks per second using zeal. Grief pb will use the whole 35max damage of a pb as vengeance doesn't consider +xx dmg.

I'm just gonna send it and see what happens.

1 point Sanctuary aura against undead physical immunes.


That's a terrible idea. Azurewrathj has low damage, just use Grief and 1 point in Sanctuary.

When you use Death, you can use 1 point Vengeance and Conviction.

The fact nobody has used the word 'Famine' is all the testimony you need.

Sanctuary knockbacks spectors, potentially off of the walkway in arcane. I'm here for their drops. Otherwise I'd use azurewrath.

I realize I sound a bit combative. I want testimony on famine's efficacy. The title is,"famine in 2021." Not a single other person has used the word famine in this thread.

doesnt work with +dmg

Azurewrath is an excellent weapon against undead. I'm not sure why you think it has low damage. Completely capable in chaos, 2/3 of mobs in chaos are undead. 2/3 of mobs in arcane are undead. It does 500-1k dmg with half of that being magic and not subject to resistance.

I'm gonna make famine, whether it be in a war spike or berserker axe.
