How It Works

WE'RE BACK AT IT TODAY WITH ANOTHER POWERFUL WARLOCK BUILD

AND TODAYS BUILD IS ALL ABOUT OPTIMIZING YOUR OVERALL DAMAGE OUTPUT

SO THAT YOU'LL HAVE BETTER SUCCESS WHEN RUNNING INTO DUNGEONS, RAIDS AND OTHER ENDGAME CONTENT.

THE SANGUINE ALCHEMY WAS ONE OF SEVERAL EXOTICS THAT RECIEVED REWORKS AT THE BEGINNING OF REVENANT

THIS UPDATE HAS BOOSTED THE SANGUINES PERFORMANCE SIGNIFICANTLY AND HAS SEEN THIS EXOTIC USHER IN A NEW ERA OF HIGH DAMAGE BUILDS FOR WARLOCKS

AND TODAY WE ARE DIVING INTO ONE OF THOSE BUILDS.

THE SANGUINE ALCHEMY COMES WITH THE BLOOD MAGIC INTRINSIC TRAIT WHICH PROVIDES TWO INCREDIBLE BENEFITS.

THE FIRST IS THAT WHEN YOU ARE STANDING WITHIN A RIFT OR WELL OF RADIANCE LANDING WEAPON FINAL BLOWS WILL EXTEND THE DURATION OF THE RIFT,

ADDING ON AS MUCH AS 15 SECONDS TO THE ORIGINAL TIMER OF ANY RIFT.

THIS PREVIOUSLY REQUIRED THE USE OF EMPOWERING RIFTS BUT THAT HAS BEEN REMOVED,

ALLOWING ALL OF BLOOD MAGICS BENEFITS TO BE USED WHEN RUNNING HEALING RIFTS

AND THATS A TREMENDOUS BENEFIT WHEN YOU FIND YOURSELF IN ACTIVITIES THAT LEAVE YOU ACHING FOR A SOURCE OF HEALTH.

THE NATURAL SHELF LIFE OF ANY RIFT IS 15 SECONDS SO IF YOU'RE ABLE TO SECURE ENOUGH FINAL BLOWS WHEN INSIDE A RIFT YOU'D SEE THOSE LASTING FOR AS LONG AS 30 SECONDS

WITH SOME OF THE AVAILABLE BUILD VARIATIONS THAT THIS EXOTIC HAS BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT SUBCLASSES

THERES SOME VERY STRONG OPTIONS OUT THERE THAT ARE GOING TO PROVIDE A TON OF BONUS ABILITY ENERGY SO THAT WE CAN HAVE THESE RIFTS AVAILABLE AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE

THE SECOND BENEFIT THAT THIS EXOTIC PROVIDES IS A BONUS IN DAMAGE WHEN STANDING INSIDE OF ANY RIFT OR WELL OF RADIANCE.

THIS WILL PROVIDE A TIMES 4 WEAPON SURGE BUFF MATCHING YOUR SUPERS ENERGY TYPE GRANTING ALL OF THOSE WEAPONS WITH A 25 PERCENT INCREASE IN DAMAGE

WHICH CAN BE STACKED ONTOP OF RADIANCES 25 PERCENT BONUS IN DAMAGE.

A NEW BENEFIT TO SANGUINE ALCHEMY IS THAT WHEN YOU TARGET ENEMIES WHEN STANDING INSIDE YOUR RIFT

THOSE TARGETS WILL BECOME MARKED AND WHEN THOSE ENEMIES ARE MARKED YOU'LL DEAL AN EXTRA 10 PERCENT BONUS DAMAGE, ONTOP OF THE TIMES 4 WEAPON SURGE.

YOU CAN ONLY HAVE ONE TARGET ACTIVE AT A TIME AND IF THAT ONE TARGET HAPPENS TO BE A DUNGEON OR RAID BOSS THEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT SOME INSANE DAMAGE POTENTIAL.

THE CHANGES TO THE SANGUINE ALCHEMY HAVE REALLY HELPED THIS EXOTIC BECOME MUCH MORE VIABLE IN JUST ABOUT ANY ACTIVITY

AS IT PROVIDES YOU WITH AN ONGOING DAMAGE BONUS AS LONG AS YOU'RE ABLE TO KEEP YOUR CLASS ABILITY GENERATED.

THIS NEW AND IMPROVED VERSION OF THE SANGUINE ALCHEMY WOULD FIT RIGHT IN ON A PRISMATIC SUBCLASS, EVEN VOID OR ARC

BUT ITS THE SOLAR SUBCLASS THAT OFFERS THE MOST BENEFITS BETWEEN ITS AVAILABLE FRAGMENTS, ASPECTS AND ABILITIES AND THATS GOING TO ALIGN WITH OUR GOAL OF DEALING OUT MAXIMUM DAMAGE.
