So with 10cb gloves you get 50cb with mirrored blades if all hit right?


I’m not quite sure, but I think CB is halved for arrows.

That would mean 5%, but 5 projectiles.

So proccing CB on a single target from at least 1 arrow should be about 23% chance each time you shoot an arrow from the bow.

CB does verrrrry little on these bosses. Bane is just that good. I just made a video to show.

Crushing blow is doing work actually I think




First part of the video is without bane, and with CB on. You can see, very little damage.
Second part of the video is without bane, and without CB on. Again, very little damage.
Third part is when I cast hex: bane, and he gets wiped out in a couple of shots.

No enchant or any buffs except for the barb orders.

It doesn’t look like you procced CB at all in that vid tho. I’m not sure on the mechanic but you also only used 1 arrow (big fan due to close range) and your bow doesn’t have peirce so you can clearly see that you missed most of your arrows…

Not debating 5x 10k magic hex bane arrows are gonna do way more damage. Just wondering on CB as it also helps kill high hp targets

Either way, it seems like dual leech cb crafted gloves are definitely best, (if cb does proc) but it does open an option to have fcr gloves and use 125 fcr on swap, or fcr glove options while gearing before full bis

Diablo isn’t a good test either
Try Baal or a T5 herald

Horazon's gloves' fire damage is added to each arrow and each explosion. That's thousands to tens of thousands of damage per shot. And they have cb. And they give 35 dex when combined with the boots. And life. Hard to argue with them!

Well considering it’s doing nothing to Diablo, idk. I’m also clearing very fast without even enchanting. I bet it’s not even 3% damage increase, idk. But if CB is not working… then we have some more qol options.

Dex and str doesn’t really matter. You’re talking about the difference between 4300 hp and 4500 hp, and you craft gloves with Str life and dex and mana if you want

Best gloves is a dual leech triple res i believe if you pair it with a vex on demon and mana dual leech rings you get more damage from using pride/ infinity on merc

Bind demon help alot os high damage and if you can use death mark in your gameplay it insta attack

I run a 52 enchantress with me, just for the sake if the video I didn't enchant. But crushing blow, just like leech, when you're using a bow with such little physical damage does very little. It's the rest of the stats on the gloves that make them bis.

Crushing blow is a percentage of the enemy’s health right? Even if you hit for 1 damage and proc cb you do like 8% max health or something, right?

95+% of this build is magic damage, so it’s mostly a mechanic(cb) and QOL (dual leech or fcr) slot right? Can roll resists on gloves too

Yup, I have some nice gloves I could use. Fire damage is so nice though.
