GS : 5 vs 4 stacks of Nayr Black Death

Necromancer

I have seen new builds that include the blood rush skill that will in turn remove 1 poison skill, resulting in a total of 4 stacks of Nayr.

The old build have 5 stacks instead… will that not result in lesser damage?

Thanks

I also use “Blood rush”. The damage is 4/5, but I save a lot of time when moving the character. There is no discernible difference with lower GR difficulty. It’s easier. 4 stacks are better maintained than 5.

But in higher GRs, Blood Rush will not help against Rift Guardian

For the highest pushes, 5 stacks wins. For lower content like gr speeds, normal rifts, etc, you could play with 4 poison spells + blood rush + steuart greaves and it is probably faster. You kind of kill everything really fast so you don’t need all 5 stacks for your dps. Moving from point a to point b as fast as possible is going to determine how fast you clear a rift and how many rifts you can clear in one afternoon. I’d say, above GR 110, depending of course also on your paragons, you should use 5 poison spells. Lower than that, 4 poison + good mobility is better.

there is a 135 solo clear in NS with only 4 stacks
