They explain that these boots can roll as either ancestral or sacred items, depending on the world tier—Tier 3 for sacred and Tier 4 for ancestral.

They also provide 36 intelligence, which isn’t significantly useful for the presenter’s crit-focused build. The presenter elaborates on their character’s critical hit rate, which reaches nearly 100% with specific skills. Additionally, the boots enhance lucky hit chance with shadow damage, making them ideal for shadow characters using abilities like sever.

In this part of the video, the speaker explains a calculation to demonstrate how enhancing a character works, specifically focusing on using the skill “Sever.” Initially, they describe how to calculate the lucky hit chance, starting with Sever’s 24% lucky hit chance and adding a 20% ability, resulting in a 4.8% chance. By applying additional Shadow damage skill buffs and percentages, it increases to a 5.1% chance.
The segment covers various rolling stats of items, including essence cost reduction and damage reduction from enemies affected by Shadow damage, which range in values and can be improved by upgrading the item.

This transform Sever into a more powerful skill that also creates persistent damage zones on the battlefield.

This passive adds extra Shadow damage, increasing overall damage output.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the strategic use of an ability in comparison to blight. They highlight that using the ability from a distance maximizes damage output due to its larger coverage area. Blight, being a circular area effect that can be placed directly under a target, is noted to have a limited range but the advantage of continuous damage, making it effective against bosses. The speaker mentions plans to create a necromancer build, possibly melee-focused, incorporating this ability and another one called reap. They then read a piece of lore text associated with an item, describing it as a necromancer-only item with a distinct appearance resembling bloodied bone embedded in armor.
