Just found a moly in the dark sea so I think I want to test them out. I’m running patrimony, ember staff, crystal orb oracle, I’m thinking of doing bleed and fire, any recommendations?
iirc blood diseases aren‘t worth it, the health lost isn’t worth the like 2 ticks of poison dot
the best one is insanity but you have to use darkness purging for that to work(insanity lasts for a respectable time (iirc like 20 second) and darkness purging gives you 10% more damage against targets with insanity (and if the wiki is correct, 20% against npcs, but I don’t really trust it))
but for spirit weapons any innate synergy with a blood disease just sucks. at best you get a 5% damage increase for 20% base health with eagle patrimony + bleed, and for that you still have to hit your opponent again within ~ 2 seconds of your last hit
the best blood disease is the one your enemy is using because blood diseases SUCK 
Can you even make insanity disease? A grease with this effect isn’t possible
I’m pretty sure you can turn it into a disease
I guess the reason why you can’t turn it into a grease is because there’s no tool that inflicts insanity innately
i think bleed and fire are probably the best, but you’d be better off without blood diseases because the eagle patrimony or the ember staff will probably clear the bleed (so you’ll do less damage unless you hit the target multiple times) and i don’t think you’ll be getting anything out of the fire disease
if you really want to apply a blood disease to yourself then just do bleed
don’t forget only the second hit will apply the synergy, which is just 5% more damage
right but it would do more damage is what im thinking here, because of the synergy, the dots are like 2 tick anyways, having them clear is completely fine
oh but I would have to hit them pretty fast after for that to matter
if you manage to apply burn with your flomva and let’s say it deals 180 damage, you’d be dealing 54 burn damage assuming the target has no way to clear it with wind or water, meaning in total you’d deal 234 damage by summing the burn dot
I don’t think oracle really has a way to apply bleed so we shouldn’t take that into consideration but you’ll be dealing +5% more damage with your eagle patrimony. idk if burn has any interactions with bleed
Burn clears bleed, and Fire Magic deals more damage to bleeding targets, but a Burning Disease isnt Fire Magic.
actually nvm i dont think he has any way to clear the burn so he might deal more damage with the fire disease
Is there a minimum % of damage you have to do to actually apply the status effects like with greases? as aithoro could probably reliably apply any effect if about 60 damage per tick is enough. I very much could go insanity or slowness maybe?
also I hear blood diseases have less efficiency when it comes to DOT
The disease isn’t the magic, so it might not work. I’d assume it has similar behaviors to Greases.
That is true for many other status effects. I think Insanity is an exception precisely due to Darkness-Purging Lost Knowledge
That’s good then, i am cursed with Vetex perfect coding.
yes, it’s just a t1 gel
