[Eternal] How do I scale the damage of Conjurations?

Sorcerer

Are they simply scaled like normal spells and thus just scale with me? Hence I should build the usual: Vulnerable, Crit etc

Do passives like Glass Cannon apply to Conjurations’ damage? Would Esu’s Ferocity apply to Hydras? I guess same question applies for anything that says “You do blah blah blah”.

Basically I am trying to make a Conjuring build where I cast nothing damaging myself. I will likely have Nova, Ice Barrier and Teleport + 3 Conjures.

If anyone has such a build (for Eternal) I’d love to see it.

Eternal. This is tough because without the malignant heart, you have taken the nerfed option. You don’t get the benefit of extra damage and survivability from the hearts.

If you are doing tier 100, it’s doable but you will need to kite and time things properly. In NM dungeons, the higher ones specially, the critical skill you need is Hydra plus the Summoned Hydra upgrade (the one that gives burn). Apparently this damage scales based on the dungeon level (whether it’s a bug or intentional). So if there’s anything you should not forget, this one is the key.

If you wanna increase the damage on your Conjurations

  • Get a 3x amulet on Conjuration skills and 3x on Conjuration Mastery
  • Get the lightning spear aspect for more conjuration
  • Use Ice Blade as an Enchant for more conjuration
  • More active conjurations means your damage scales
  • Get CDR on your stats
  • Get +4 on Hydra, Ice Blades, Lighting Spear on your helm

In Season 1, I had been running with low 20% Vuln and 15% Crit Chance. I have done tier 100s with offensice hearts and defensive ones too. So having Vuln and Crit aren’t necessary. More of these would scale your damage if you can trigger them consistently without sacrificing your other stats / aspects.

I have seen folks running Esu. It’s probably adding damage but hard to tell how much on Hydras. I use Vyr for defensive purposes. So I can tell it’s not needed even in Tier 100s.

Some folks run with Shatter.

Yes Glass Cannon increases the damage on your Conjurations. I think you can quickly test it by checking the damage on the skill before and after you add a point in Glass Cannon. 3x Glass Cannon is acceptable but an amulet that gives +3 on Glass Cannon is risky. It scales the damage but also scales your risk of dying faster lol.
