Been running a crit-based helliquary build as well. Not sure how it compares, but run 4 gloom with Mother's Lament and the focus stance to get a 64.5% native crit chance for roughly the first 6 seconds (assumes a second well-timed jump to get the 22.5% from Gloom 4 to coincide with the full 6 second uptime for Mother's). Have 21% on my gear, so brings the crit chance total to 85.5%, but gear varies per person. Use Horns of Hexed helm and Broken Corseque main hand to run Siphon Blood passively and get the extra damage. Run Shroud of Night with Influencer chest to get extra primaries, and use Hanging Chalice offhand for the ricochet, though I'm not certain the ricochet can hit the main target if there's only one. Use Skewer with Besalver main hand to get the jump to proc Gloom 4, and Sprig of Hawthorne offhand to get the 10% extra damage after the jump. Use Swarm of bats with Faces of Fading Mirth pants for poison to go with the bats. There's no good damage shoulders for the build, so just use Empress Pariah for an extra shield to help standing close to bosses while using Siphon Blood. For 2 piece I just use vithus, though there may be a better option. Curious to try your abomination build since Iiterally haven't even slotted the skill yet.
Thats what im talking about! 4pc shal is working on Abomination and add the pants unholy aura once you transform. I think the shroud is not working when in abomination form, but will try to test it again. Thanks lida!
Also the Layered Aims chest essence for Shroud of Night deals massive amounts of damage in such builds. Combined with other buffs like Siphon Blood (with Horns of the Hexed headpiece, the Broken Corseque main hand and The Numbing Edge shoulder), the Skewer Buff and Shroud of Night itself and 4 piece Vithu's you get a TON of extra damage procs from everything which crit for hundreds of thousands. Especially with a 8 piece Vengeance family bonus for an extra 160-180% damage on your primary attacks ... this build hits like a truck :X Also Siphon Blood and Swarm of Bats trigger 2 piece Banquet and Pain Claps almost constantly for another ton of damage from everything else, I really think dropping Abomination in favor of Swarm, Skewer, Siphon and Shroud is the optimal way to go so as to make use of Vithu's and Banquet/Clasp. Been topping Invasions and Raids with this and am generally really, really impressed with the class, despite my initial skepticism regarding its Dung and Raid potential.
I cant really see how any class can outdmg the necro though. My stone golem alone hits for 1.1-1.4m dmg each crit in gauntlets I tried to think of any way to buff the BK to a contender but the dmg modifiers are just not there 🤷
Lol literally tried this build yesterday trying to find highest dps single target. Was missing the skewer dmg boost off hand but found today. What's nice about abomination is that any use of skill charges it. That means, while running thru dungeon to get to bosses, just pop skills while running to charge for boss
Ty mate for the build - still missing a key component myself in the form of pants but can already see the single target ramp much more than other builds. Ignore the whole idiotic "these crits be coz of his reso" coz any good player would understand builds matter more in pve as well 2 star gems than 5 star ones
Glad you enjoy it, the crits scale from the skewer damage increase and also the Abom transformation. So anyone should see larger crits than normal but not this high of course.
If you have Concentrated Will and Gloomguide set, continually proc the Skewer to get the damage boost from the dash skills. Just need to sync the pre-cast whenever the CW duration is already off.
Thanks Lida that helps, like everyone I need essences only have a couple but searching for a combination that works in raids and dungeons is what I was looking for,
the main point of explanation is on using night shroud to enhance primary attack. but it doesn't explain why choosing abomination instead of another skill such as bat. considering abomination needs charging and blocks you from using other skills while active, and the damage is not higher either, I would say the same build works just fine replace abomination with bat or siphon.
Sorry if that was unclear. In the intro I state we're using Abomination. This entire build is just to make Abomination viable in some way. I don't claim this is the highest or best damage build, just a very fun option for those looking to use the iconic class skill.
This is the build i was theorizing as well but without abomination. We only lack the second main hand essence for this tho whatever build we make so annoying haha. Thanks for putting abomination here lida. I'll definitely use this for dungeons
@@MinMaxRPG I've seen BKs running 6pc Shepard's. With the amount of clones you can have (I think there's 2 skills that do it? Similar to each other at least?) it seems like it would be super strong. Is it not really note worthy? Or is it some OP-ness flying under the radar for many people? Lol.
If you want the most DPS do not use Abomination, especially if your essence still rank 1. I have not retested at rank 2 but I doubt it will make the difference. If you are going the primary attack build use 4 pc war and 2 piece vithus and use w/e damage over time/passive damage essence skills that can be casted once and still do damage while you are using primary attack. I did a raid before I saw this video and I got my gear crit hit to 28% un buff and another 8% from helliq also ran weaver. I was getting crits non stop.
Bro. Please keep going. We must find builds which revolve around abomination. I want to try the set which gives you crit chance when you dash, because abomination has a 3 sec CD dash so should be 100% up time on crit buf. Give it a try!
I don't know if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that in Abomination form it does less damage than in normal form, I don't know what it is, but I noticed that I do more damage without the transformation.
Hey Lida! Wanted to ask you about the cloud shoulder (which also applies to similar shoulders for syphon). It seems rather underused when you have no skill/gear (flurry bleed, bat poison or fire whirl) for continual damage and rely only on bile or torment. Do you know if the should effect applies only to continual damage dealt by you, or by party members too? Thanks in advance!
Just some thoughts what if you use the mepthic cloud shoulders for harmful effects then use the pants that grants unholy aura while on Abomination form, will the 2pc Grace+2shalbas+2vithus work? and A Big Thank you Lida for sharing this to the community.. Very Much Appreciated.. 🙏🏼
I’m sitting at 1800res and my monk runs a base of 20% crit chance. Then mothers lament adds to it. My hits sit at allmost 100% crit hits and my damage sits at 100-250k per fit. I cleared rapids boss at 9.85mil health in 27 sec. That’s over 360k DPS. I played BK and it felt real weak to me compared to my monk build.
I tested weaver works as intended . I removed gloom cask + any other gem who can help me and never activate shroud of night and doesn't " stack" with just shadow's edge auto attacks . Basically by having 100% up time with shroud of night u have 100% up time with weaver paragon tree . And YES if u ask me this tree perform way way better with bk than others classes. 😀😊
Hi Lida ! Am currently playing DI on my mobile. While trying out the build in this video it seems like the cloud effect is not as "thick" as what ive seen. Is there something to do with my in-game settings ? Currently using a Samsung fold 4. Thank you and love your videos !
Ravage? It has a main hand essence but falls short of the double off-hand essences Shadow's Edge can provide. In addition Shadow's Edge can be ranged if the target isn't close enough so it just wins out basically. Similar to Fists of Thunder for Monk.
Im quite sure u have 100% uptime without shroud of night as I remember it? 2x vithu might b enough. I guess it is maybe cuz u want it too last through abomination?
will be very good when they patch the essence but ATM "influencer" is useless since it dont work on all attacks (if the animation of the skill dont end you dont have another one) hope my english is corrrect
If you want unli proc of urges try this Helm - horns of the hexed Chest - influencer Shoulder - dismal figure Pants - nightflayer Main 1 - the besalyer Main 2 - broken corseque Off 1 - sprig of hawthorns Off 2 - mercy's plight Thank me later. 😊😊

You're welcome, hope you enjoy!
Has this build bewn updated with the new essences? Curious
cool build...do you think this is efficient for the shadow battle as well?
It's probably not a bad choice, I'm going to try it this Thursday. Possibly Skewer and Solemn Snare for bats might be better for additional mobility.
What’s your current PVE dungeon / Raid BK build.
These crits results clearly from resonance 🫠
Yea they just dont wanna say it
If he is getting his max crits from this build, you might get your max from this too.
@@Habonis his max not gonna pass 20k XD
Not necessarily from reso but having high reso does help you just need right build/ gem equipments ess
I don't always crit from resonance, but when I crit, i I Like to crit with resonance 🍻

I use the Swarm of Bats with the Poison buff from the Leg ess. Makes the Mephitic Cloud with shoulder ess works insane.

Thanks lida i was looking for a good raid and dungeons build 👍
With this build.. the only primary is The Besalver… what is the other primary you use then? There’s no other to benefit the build…
There is no other main hand essence to benefit the build correct. Hopefully when more come out.
This is the build i was theorizing as well but without abomination. We only lack the second main hand essence for this tho whatever build we make so annoying haha. Thanks for putting abomination here lida. I'll definitely use this for dungeons
Is it true that Shepard's set works on the shadow clone Primary Attacks?
As if they count as summons? Hopefully unintentional if it is like that lol.
Yup, the clones count as summons.

Correct there are higher damage builds out there, this is just intended to make Abomination viable since it's an iconic skill for the class.

I think this is the new level of stunlock and massive hits I saw in pvp earlier. Wiz at 799 maybe but prob 800+ dh
Ia this build working in BG?
Builds with s will likely yield better win rates than this build in BG. This is fun in BG because nobody knows what to do when you transform though.

Im guessing a 3k reso BK would be pulling in around 300k crits or more maybe
Should still see larger crits from the Skewer buff and Abom buff when timed correctly regardless of reso. 300k sounds pretty good for 3k reso though.
will be very good when they patch the essence but ATM "influencer" is useless since it dont work on all attacks (if the animation of the skill dont end you dont have another one)
