hes literally doing this on single player and you think its incredibly godly lol. Btw I just did a run on my abyss lock. And ...yes...mine is considerably faster in REAL PLAYER 8 chaos. Unlike this fake one portraying 8P
????
If I'm going to compare the speed of builds I'm not going to spend thousands of fg on new gear sets, use tokens and rebind demons just to make a point
I'd like to clear up some misconceptions I've seen repeated in this build a few times-
- There's an updated build that's better than the OP setup that people keep missing and PMing or posting questions for the updated list. Just scroll back a few pages until you find it
- This is an SS tier build that is faster than anything else in the entire game right now, including mosaic, and builds like nova sorcs or javazons aren't anywhere as fast, and a build like abyss warlock isn't even on the same order of magnitude
I'm not sure you're grasping the basic concept
the taintlock has 2x fireballs at 22 fpa that each deal 35k aoe damage before -resists. It deals ~
147k aoe dps after -resists by simply
teleporting around, and on top of that your bound demon hits around ~60k physical before amp, so about
~90k single target physical dps after amp. DPS which is performed by both tainted and bound demon by simply... teleporting from pack to pack. Hitting at range automatically, or telestomping to focus the dps on a unique mob. Without ever doing anything but teleporting.
Abyss caps out around ~5k direct and ~10.4k dps per cast, 2 seconds of dps per 2.36 between casts and -50% magic resist, so it deals about
16.4k dps after -resists. You can get another +56% from defiler, but lmao in the time it takes a defiler to actually tag something, tainted would have just killed it. And tainted don't have a cooldown between casts like defiler does.
So we're talking about the difference between a combined ~237k aoe/single target dps, versus ~16.4k dps. 26k if defilers tag them and we're generous.
The taintlock build stacks entire QoL gear and gets as much % mf, resists, life, mana, etc as possible. It has infinite mana without needing insight, can wear gheeds, use cham and % frw charms just to move faster when picking up items / in town. It is nearly impossible to die, and its limiting factor becomes needing to slow down to actually see the items dropping or you might miss drops that occur automatically as you teleport around because tainted are autoaiming fireballs even at a distance.
