I don't see how Black River is good in the Infinimist build

I mean, you have to sacrifice +100% on one aspect (mainly Blighted) and good stats for harder hitting CE that will consume more corpses.
What do I miss ? Is the tradeoff really worth it ?

Wondering about this as well, I don’t see how this build does damage, but it somehow does.

CE will consume up to 4 extra corpses to increase damage by 130% per extra corpse. That’s a damage buff on it’s own. The important part is the Blood Mist aspect: Blood Mist triggers Corpse Explosion on surrounding Corpses. When Blood Mist detonates a Corpse, its Cooldown is reduced by [0.2 – 0.5] seconds.
Normally blood mist will consume 3-4 corpses per cast. With Black River, it can consume 15-20. That’s how you get nearly 100% uptime on blood mist.

I see… that’s indeed a lot more powerful than i thought initially, thank you.

I just found myself a 806 item power Black River in an Helltide (Season 1). Playing as a Minion Necro-bomber (with the hearts for Auto-Explosion, Auto-Decrepify and Barber), I feel like this item would hurt more than help.

I am not playing with Blood Mist at all (preferred Bone Storm to it, with Corpse Tendril and Corpse Explosion + Minions) but I wanted your opinion on it.

Again, I am on Season 1. Maybe it could be better for after the end of the season, when I lose my auto-casting hearts though…
