Frequently Asked Questions
- I can't use my weapon set passive points, why?
You first need normal passive points before you can split them with the weapon set points. So to apply the max 24 weapon points for each set, you first need 24 normal passive points available to use.
- How come I can't summon
Skeletal Brute's each time I swap weapons?
When one of our
Skeletal Brute 's die, it start the minion respawn timer. Normally takes up to 11 seconds before they can spawn again. When outside combat, weapon swapping bypasses this timer, and always spawns your minions instantly. When in-combat however, a weapon swap still bypasses the timer, but only after waiting 4-5 seconds.
- Why aren't my
Skeletal Brute's summoned when I swap to set 2?
First thing to check is the skill gem section of the current variant you are playing. Each skill should only be active on one of the two sets.
Skeletal Brute requires that you specifically set the amount summoned per set. Put it at the max possible for set 2, and none for set 1. This is all done in the skill specific stat window. First access skill gem menu (default G), then click the small arrow on the right side next to the DPS number for a particular skill and then on the menu that appears bottom right checkboxes. Refer to Dual Specialisation gem section.
Another rare bug is that if your
Skeletal Brute is closer to the bottom of your skill gem menu, it for some reason thinks it does not have the available spirit to summon them. Just move the
Skeletal Brute gem to the top of the menu.
- Why is my
Plague Bearer doing so little damage?
The higher the level of
Plague Bearer, the significantly more damage it can deal. Physical Mastery also works to increase its level by 1. Focus this over other intelligence gems early, and keep those low level to keep the intelligence requirement relatively low while focusing on dexterity.
- Why aren't my
Skeletal Brute's being consumed by
Decompose?
This is most likely due to a bug with
Trenchtimbre, it disables the automatic consumption of corpses with
Decompose on step. I don't recommend this mace due to this bug, but a workaround is the minion command key-bind, casting a spell or the P2W Faridun floating skin, it will make
Decompose work while walking.
- What do I do when my
Decompose clouds keep exploding/burning?
The most common source for the
Decompose clouds exploding often is burning ground, this builds kryptonite. This is found on waystones as a suffix mod called "Area has patches of Burning Ground". Avoid it if you can, and just run other waystones instead. If you can't avoid it or
Deadly Evolution has added burning explosions to the rares/boss then standing close to enemies and weapon swapping is your best bet.
Contagion and
Herald of Plague help with clearing as well.
If it happens frequently, like every zone/enemy, it's probably because you are playing with a friend who is igniting enemies or using skills that detonate poison clouds. Don't play with those friends (/s) or force them to use something like Elemental Focus or
The Three Dragons.
- Why is my
Grim Feast ES overflow depleting each weapon swap?
In the most recent patch a bug/change was made that makes it so that we lose the overflow from
Grim Feast when we weapon swap IF there is a significant change in maximum energy shield. So to minimize this, you want to have 2 shields, one on each set, with similar ES values. Also, ensure you don't take any increased maximum ES on the passive tree with the weapon set points. This includes
Charge Infusion, so get enough spirit to have it active on both sets if possible.
- How come my
Eye of Winter is not applying wither?
The likely scenario is you skipped reading the guide. The Withering Touch support gem specifies that you need to deal chaos damage before it applies wither on hit.
Eye of Winter does not do chaos damage by default. That's why in the Uber Endgame variant of the build I mention that the
Against the Darkness jewel is mandatory. 2-4% damage as extra chaos means
Eye of Winter will now do enough chaos damage for Withering Touch.
- My game is CRASHING when I weapon swap at the start of a map, fix?
Fix has been found! Move the
Cast on Minion Death skill gem to the very bottom of your skill menu (default G). Courtesy of Avirr L on Youtube, thank you very much for your testing and comment!
- Where can I find the answer to a question that's not in the FAQ?
A likely scenario is that the question is already answered in the main bulk of the guide. Please read it fully, I'm begging you. If you still can't find the answer, then you can contact me via Skadoosh_C twitch dm's, Youtube comment, or SkadooshPoisonWalk in-game (just /w).
