Cloak of Fear slotting


Desmodos

 

Posted

I've been tweaking my Spines/Darks build and I'm thinking about trying Cloak of Fear but I'm struggling with the slotting.

My main aim is to boost accuracy and reduce endurance as much as possible, and currently I have 4 Cloud Senses in it, giving me a nice 2.25% extra endurance and 6.25% recharge, but the accuracy is still only 102.5% with a huge 0.39 end/s.

Could anyone suggest a better method of slotting than this?

Well, my leveling up slotting was three Nightmares because they cost practically nothing. Now I have a level 53 Endoplasm and a Nightmare accuracy/endurance. Accuracy is 70.9% against +4s, which isn't great. I guess my main goal was accuracy and conserving slots.

I haven't poked at slotting it in general. If it were me, I'd also want some fear enhancement since it only ticks every 5 seconds. How about Glimpse of the Abyss, all but the psionic damage, and add a common endurance IO?

74% Accuracy
92% Endurance
74% Terrorized
1.87% Hit Points
9% Global Accuracy
6.25% Global Recharge
Or maybe four Dark Watchers (skip debuff/rech and the proc) and two Endoplasms?
67% Accuracy
74% Endurance
67% Terrorized
52% To-Hit Debuff
1.5% Hit Points
2.5% Recovery
5% Global Recharge

Well I've never actually tried CoF, but isn't the fear aspect of it kind of pointless? With 2 AoE toggles with the same radius as CoF running, and spine burst with an even bigger radius, won't any terrified enemies snap out of it within a split second when one of my many spines takes one of their limbs off? I may be wrong though, how does it actually perform?

Feared mobs will still not attack with the same frequency. When mobs feared by CoF attack, they do so with a ~5% To Hit Debuff; depending on your defense values that may be significant.

As for slotting, I like 3 Dampened Spirits and 3 Cloud Senses, but that's somewhat dependent on how many accuracy bonuses you picked up elsewhere.
