Witch Hunter Equipment

ALCON,

Can anyone provide some information or feedback on Witch Hunter Equipment ?

1. Does each piece increase maxi damage by 15% ? if true what damage is that talking about, the max of your base damage ?

2. How many kills of Karabossa did it took you to get a drop ?

Do you recommend it or what is better ?

Thank you for your time.

 

Hi,

Yes every item is increasing your max. damage by 15% but in same time it decreases your min. damage for 5% which I don't find it very good since it makes gap between min. and max. wider. That means lower possibility of dealing max. (or close to max. damage).
It increases base damage (if I am wrong someone correct me).

There is no rule of how many kills you need to get the item ... you can get all items in few kills or you can get nothing in 100+ kills.

I personally don't like that gear at all, but that is just my personal opinion.

BTW you can use this link for some more info about the gear.

 

Trakilaki,

My base damage at lvl 40 is 427-517 and speed of 1.04/sec.

Theoretically with 3 items at 15%+ each that means max is 750 and low is 361 ?

Thank you.

 

I think it does not affect knowledge tree % of damage.
However keep in mind that 15% is max. value and it is very hard to get items with max. stats. Most likely you will get items with something like 8-10% increased max. damage and 10-12% decreased min. damage.

 

1. No... You have to be very lucky to get 15% max. Damage. Mostly you get for a reason 9% or 10%, but 15%... Almost impossible. And remember - the minimal Damage can be reduced more than 5%, for a reason 8%. You can get an Item with %9% max. Damage and -9% minimal Damage, you only have to be a litte bit unlucky.

2. For which one? The parts of Level 40-Set are dropping very often... But for a completly Level 45-Set, you've to farm alot, especially if you want to have good stats. I know players who killed Karabossa more than 50 times and only get items from Level 40, but no Level 45-Setitem...

 

i killed the boss 3 times and 3 uniques each. one was more than 13% increase but lvl 40 so melted it. second was 45 lvl so gave more health as well as 12,5 or so damage boost. i personally use the body armor. at lvl 45 it is ok hp bonus which comes with higher damage

 

Till now i received 6 pieces of that armor, and all of them are 40 lvl, not single one is 45 lvl. They have mostly bad enchantments.

Generally not like this armor. You need to rip your ass farming for fairy wood (3000 to finish event), then farming same map and same boss for possible drop, but very often Karabossa don't drop unique, and you finished with some ugly 7 day costume.

 

last event i killed boss 3 or 4 times, i got 2 witch hunter jerkins 40 and 45 lvls 1 45 lvl hat. you just got to try. i think it is a great item 138 armour 254 hp 13%max 9 % low damage bonus. note if it helps in my case soloing the boss brought better results

 

I killed Karabossa dozen times, always solo, and there is only and only 40 lvl items with bad enchantments for me. I had not noticed soloing improves potential drops.

It's just a subjective assumption...

 

And I was not able to kill it once solo. I guess I must get a ball and wand insted of 2hand staff

 

I've done over 130 karabossa runs and found no single 45 item
gl

 

this karbossa is scam from dso
did lot of runs, got 14 uniqs. 2 of them was lvl 45 weapon. who the heck would use that weapon ?` this is just perfect melt. this 25%+ more reduced fire resistance is utter mistake from dso. and ofcourse lvl 45 items. pfff they should be max stats. so far not a single good item found what i opened.. farmed too long for those woods. and what i get, problay what i deserve. nothing. pointless event. useless items. maxstats for llv 45 items or nothing, dont run this event again.

 

I won't even farm Blackborg for fairy wood between events. Hate that event as drops utterly suck. Hate that whole map basically. It's a nothing event thrown in between the good ones is all. That 300 draken I can do without on all my toons.

 

This is what I kept from Karabossa, and that's the best enchantments i got, rest of gear melted. Too much farming for nothing...
But this gear have potential to be good, just need to have a lot of luck.
Potential for 15% decreased dmg, and 45% increased dmg sounds very good, but that is utopia...

 

If my math is right, you're looking at taking 22% minimum damage reduction. Per the 3 pieces and the reduction penalty on each. That's a huge hit isn't it?
But since I may be on a wrong math course anyway, looks like max damage would be increased by 120 + 31%. Now that seems like a huge boost but the gap between minimum and maximum damage seems to widen exponentially then and where does the actual damage then come into play? I know a lot is based on crit and crit %. But I guess you would have to equip the 3 pieces and then see the averages of damage dealt. But then maybe I am confused about these uniques. Add 45% crit damage and 15% attack speed and they don't look horrible to equip as a set.

 

i post mines too very soon. need 3 items unlocked. so far pretty same stats.

 

Watch pictures carefully, second and third gear is the same (helmet), i never got piece of armor (jerkin) from Karabossa.

Just showing best stats from gear i got, rest is melted because bad enchantments.

 

the witch hunter is a bad stuff with negatif stat not good....

 

If u find it at lvl 45 with acceptable stats can be very powerfull.
Yes is true u lose many min dmg but if u count the 20% critical dmg ,10% attack speed, 20% critical rate and 50 max dmg this come onli from the bonusses..with right intems can be very good ,with left side rings amulet onli dmg and critical rate u reach nice stats.
I have think same " this set is not good , i don't need" was before i found all pieces lvl 45 in last event .
Is nice to have more intems to change ur build wen u want

 

Ooops, my bad, sorry my eyes are not as good as they were. I will take the fail on that lol.
