I am currently running a LoN lazybuild on a farm character, but the damage is complete garbage. Killing a yellow mob takes ages. I have 12 ancients including the ring, the only non-ancient is my Vile Hive offhand, no other set items equipped, SMF in cube. Humongoid gargs hit for roughly 1 billion, Locust Swarm ticks for around 50 million. This seem really low, but is it too low or is this normal numbers? As comparasion, my gargs hit for 10+ billion with Helltooth set (900% bonus) and my Locus Swarm ticks alot higher with Arachyr set (1200%).
1.4 million sheet dps, 46% crit chance, 366% crit damage, 15% locust swarm damage, searing locusts rune. Do the numbers seem normal? Because I had much higher expectations when completing this set.
I'm running this build with a lot of sub par pieces (str hexing pants and no gem in neck) and I can clear GR45 in 2-3 minutes every time. T 10 takes 2-4 minutes depending on Rift layout. The important thing is to keep moving so your pets reset and pull up to cleave what you're next to. If you're not resetting your pets correctly and are just letting them run around it's going to take a long time. I prefer to run aquilla's for the extra toughness to make it even more lazy, but other than that - provstgaard has excellent suggestions above!
Something is for sure off, I'm running with just 10/12 ancients right now and seeing over 100M Locust Swarm ticks.
Get that Bane of the Trapped leveled and swap out the boon for Zei's until your damage is better.
I normally roll Locust Swarm damage on shoulders/chest/offhand
You're missing crit damage on your amulet/gloves/1 ring. Locust Swarm does not crit but averages out it's damage from your crit chance/crit damage. This is probably alot of the issue.
Get a Harrington Waistguard or a Witching Hour.
Like Prov already said, you really need a Mask of Jeram in the cube.
Locust Swarm is really only there to kill trash, your gargs/dogs kill the elites/champions, and on T10 they currently pretty much 1 shot them with my gear.
Thanks for the replies. I will see if I can optimize a bit, since this is just a side-project char I have wasted my db's and veiled crystals on other chars so I havent been able to fix all stats etc. But maybe its normal then, I just expected things to die faster, especially considering how fast stuff dies with the arachyrs set. But will make the changes that you suggested (that I have items for) and see if it gets better!
