Questions

1: Is a Melee Bleed build worth pursuing or is it all around outclassed where I should invest money elsewhere? It's looking like to get best in slot bleed build is quite expensive....

2(a): Use Cinderbanes for the poison effect or Gloves of Passage?
2(b): Is it worth getting Enhanced Gloves of Passage? What about Enchantment of Agony?

3: Is Strength Skillcape best with this build?

4: What perks are best for Masterwork Spear of Annihilation? Lunging?

5: I read a lot that Abyssal Alloy Armour spikes are not worth the extra cost. Is that true even with a bleed build?

6: Should I get the Ring of Champions or Reaver's ring? I know Ring of Champions is specific for this build, but if I were to only buy 1 of the rings, would I get more benefit from the hybrid ring?

7: What Aura's go best with this build?

8: Anything else I haven't mentioned that are noteworthy?


Thanks in advance for any tips!

It sounds to me that you expected to camp the Masterwork Spear of Annihilation which is not as good as an Abyssal Scourge for single target and not as good as a Scythe for AoE. I personally don't have the skill to do this sweaty stuff.

You're supposed to swap to lunging masterwork spear of annihilation and gloves of passage for bleeds only. The enchantment is not necessary when fighting bosses that are not poison immune as that requires 9 seconds of worn time.

No reason not to use a Strength cape. I personally swap between Range and Strength on the Anachronia stand as I need to.

What makes Scourge better for single target? Maybe I didn't realize it, but you are correct I was thinking of just using Masterwork Spear of Annihilation only instead of as a swap... These might be dumb questions to some of you, but I really lack knowledge in modern PvM.

Thank you for the reply!

Thank you for the reply! They're not dumb questions at all and I just go by what I hear. EoC is pretty esoteric to me so I just plop in recommended bars and turn on revo+++.

My guess as to why Scourge is better for single target is two fold

1. Scourge's passive eventually gives extra 937 - 1562 damage hits passively which might outpace Masterwork Spear's passive.
Scourge's passive also, I hear, counts as another separate bleed adding another 1.5% critical strike damage with an Enchantment of Heroism though this isn't that big a deal because using Abyssal Alloy Armour spikes causes the same bleed and combines the same with Masterwork Spear and Enchanment of Heroism


2. Destroy might have better single target damage than Whirlwind. Also you can't use Destroy at all with a Masterwork Spear of Annihilation while you can also use Whirlwind with Dual Wielding by swapping to a Ice Shard/Shard of Leng when needed.
