Question on Doom

Playin last night found a sexy 5 soc eth cryptic axe. My immediate thoughts were Doom but I woulld want to put it on a skelemancer. Would this "doom" (hehe couldnt resist) my skelemancer by shattering all the corpses so i wouldnt have a sufficient ammout to raise/ce?

Thx in advance

Raising isn’t the big problems. The HF aura shatters about 40% of the corpses, so you can still build a large enough army fairly quickly.

With CE you may find that too many corpses shatter. Especially if you are facing a mixed group of monsters, since you need more of the low life bodies to kill the big life baddies.

Thx for the quick reply mantis this is also wut i heard... Guess i will just have to trade away me axe...

Good luck in trading that axe.

I've noticed that people are downright PICKY when it comes to trading! It often seems that all they'll offer for an honest-to-Zod rune is a full rejuve or something as equally obnoxious. :grrr:

Hey, that's what I was just about to say! :worship:

Just from personal experience DOOM seems to help/contribute to shattering anywhere from 30-60% of corpses ... at times it seems like 70%. But certainly more biased to the 60% mark anyways.

Great merc weapon though even though it's a bit of a pain at times for those CE-assisted builds.

It might be very worthy weapon if you can manage to make your army despite the freezing blows from the MERC go to cold plains for fast army cathering and encounter cold imunnies and you have corpses.

Or go to act 5 to the temple and raise corpses for free wihtout killing.

i use it on my merc and it rocks because you die less of the freezing slow effect on the enmmies and afcourse huge damage combined with amplify.

i would say keep it and make an DOOM of it.
