Weapon Enchantment & Orcus set

mjm714

I was wondering what weapon enchantment(s) do Healadins use now in Mod 12? I am currently using normal Holy Avenger. Should I get the Orcus set? I am currently using the Tiamat set. I can now able to afford the belt and I got the artifact from a guild event and three more chapters until I finish maze engine campaign for the free necklace. Sorry for the mass amount of grammatical errors, my english isn't the best.

Edit: I'm on PS4 and our current Mod is 11.5 and Mod 12 starts on September 12th.

Orcus set is better for ProtOP. Much of a DevOP's damage comes from BG/HW, which, to my knowledge, does not benefit from the Orcus set bonus. Personally, I use the Black Ice set; perfect Stat bonus, nice AP gain neck piece, and easy way to get good ArP. As far as weapon enchants go, you can use a Trans Lightning if you want a more offensive, or the Trans Feytouched if you want enemy damage reduction (more survivability) and more hard hitting attacks (but less procs). I personally love running a Trans Lightning, and am looking forward to it with a build I have in mind for Mod12b. Feytouched is about half the price as the Lightning, so it is a good bang for the buck enchant. (Another really good option that is often overlooked is Trans Bilethorn; it is kind of like a poor man's Trans Lightning that procs in slower motion.)

@rubytrue Orcus is still better for more damage from Divine Judgement and Smite, Relentless Avenger. And if you're playing OP there's no way you'll stick to only one paragon - Dev or Prot and never switch if the situation requires it. Trading 1k Arpen that you can easily get from companion (especially with about 100:1% ratio) and 4k HP (plus getting 100 Power from Deflect with Assassin's Covenant) is not a big deal.

@mjm714#9495 I'd say go for Orcus set. Artifact is cheap, belt will be in mod 12 since it drops from the lockbox. Feytouched will also be cheap to make Trans since R8s will drop from lockbox too. It also offers much more party utility with its damage debuff which can be great for bosses, plus it's better for Prot. Lightning is good but only for trash, plus at lower IL on Dev it can be a problem as you can steal aggro from tank even without it because of so much healing, and Lightning can aggro a lot.

Didn't realize how much the Orcus set had come down in price. Before, it had been somewhat price prohibitive. I just picked up the purple belt and neck piece for ~200K AD total. Hope to get a cheap Shard of Orcus' wand to try the set out soon. Should be interesting.

FWIW, since I pug, I pretty much stick to just playing a DevOP in group content. Solo, I play a ProtOP, but when Mod12B comes out, and I switch to a Bulette Pup build I've been tossing around in my head, I might just go straight DevOP all the time.

Nevermind about other weapon enhancements

Don't know if you realize on PC platform, but developers are letting items drop in other places. I got a Shard of Orcus from nDemo. Unfortunately it is BoA.

That is good to know. I've been running CN in the hopes of having one drop, but no luck so far....
