I agree, I saw a math guy saying Eth Ariocs Needle is the most damage output.
10 minute video and he didn´t mention LoH in phys pvm context, wtf?
Colossal ancients:The encounter is over in under 30 seconds, so pushing damage there is pointless. The encounter also involves pausing to make sure the wrong ancient won´t die first so you get the wrong drop.
Everything else, including Uber Tristram:Eth Insight CA outperforms Arioc’s. Insight’s 35% FCR lets you run Highlord’s + LoH while having 125fcr, which gives you higher DPS against demons and meditation aura. Every high‑HP target in the game except the Ancients is a demon.
Without insight, you will also be popping potions when teleporting around.
That amp fanat combo on your demon melts everything.
Curses combined with auto‑apply elemental auras (Holy Freeze/Shock/Fire) outperforms Fanaticism in practice.
