Manifest Weapon + Pillar of the Caged God + Sturdy Ally and Tandem Assault

Hi, my questionz are simple, does this intraction work?
Or will it work in the futur? Or not? Zuletzt angestoßen am 26.04.2025, 10:51:33

On paper, this would work. However, since the weapon has low base damage, you would have to sort that out to make this interaction worthwhile. This idea interests me, so I'll test it out and let you know.

Yeah, I realised it myself, the lack of Auras like hatred, anger and wrath and the lack of added minion dmg, makes it kinda hard to scale

I was leveling, and it is not looking possible on your own. However, if you were to get in a party with a Tactician, they could supply the missing added damage the minion would need to use the weapon effectively. From there, you would focus on building your attributes, and the Tactician would prioritize support for minions. It would make for a fairly solid duo.

yeah, on paper it looks goods. Don't have a duo to try it. Glad to have interested someone in this build idea.

So I also saw this as a potential for MW so I tried it out. Had about 500 strength and 250 dex.
But unfortunately I don’t think it’s working correctly. The sheet dps for just the basic quarterstaff attack was much much larger than the dps of manifest weapon. I think it’s because the mod on POCG says “increased weapon damage” but the manifest weapon is a minion with copied stats from the weapon. So it’s not getting the weapon bonus. That’s my guess at least. All I know it that the sheet dps of quaterstaff strike was much large (as in gaining the increased dmg from strength) and the manifest weapon’s was not. In theory the quarterstaff strike and the MW dps should be about equal if the only thing I have on my tree is attributes. edit: just hoped on my smith, with POTCG my Quarterstaff Stike DPS is 1099 and my Manifest Weapon basic and sweep attack is 335. (this doesnt look right imo) But if I equip a random rare quarterstaff the Quarterstaff strike is 1608 and the manifest weapon basic and sweep attack is 1581 (much closer to the actual strike of the weapon.

Just by reading your explanation, I think you problem was not a nug but smth else.
POTCG has no base dmg, so the difference in dps might come fom wearing other eqipments with dmg. That's why had a big diffrence with POTCG and still a little differnce with a rare. To make POTCG work, we need a source of base dmg. That's why Tekrala idea to play it with a duo who playes a tactician, might be the only way to make MW + POTCG work atm. |

" Could you test actual damage? Try dropping strenght. It may be an issue with tooltip calculating damage. |
