Thoughts on Oblivions Foe?

Rebirthment

Been having a great time with typical btb/craft/bspawn build for my magsorc but i've been seeing Oblivions foe set out there sometimes and i was thinking of swapping crafty for it. I just wanna know what your guys' thoughts on this set? Is it worth swapping? Is it good? Im planning on replacing curse with it and So far my tooltip would be about over 2k per tick

(2 items) Adds 129 Weapon Damage and Spell Damage
(3 items) Adds 1487 Offensive Penetration
(4 items) Adds 657 Critical Chance
(5 items) Adds 129 Weapon Damage and Spell Damage, When you deal damage with Soul Magic, you mark the target's soul dealing 12820 Magic Damage over 10 seconds, as long as they are not already marked from you.

PS My tooltip reads 15k over 10 secs not 12-13k stated

This set was just changed this patch. Used to increase damage to soul magic abilities instead of adding a separate dot. The damage is a good bit less now. Also used to have great recovery set bonuses that are now offensive damage set bonuses. Overall, it's been nerfed since last patch in most people's eyes. The good thing about how it works now is that you can back bar it, where you couldn't last patch. There are better sets which will give you better damage while not being forced to slot a skill. Up to you if you want to run it, it's not as strong as it was last patch but not completely irrelevant as some people might say.

Slotting Malacath doesn't change my tooltips.

His CP is probably being reflected in the tooltips

thats a very interesting interaction then, im curious whats going on behind the scenes with the code as this seems different from anything else. wonder if it has to do with procing on multiple targets due to soul splitting trap?

in the point of the set itself, feel like this is an easy combo with pale order if it procs off of the effect as well. as casting soul splitting trap into a zerg was already great to fuel it, let alone adding another massive dot to every target on top.

Oh yea thats true

Rebirthment

Thanks for the tips guys! So i guess ill stick to my current build. Somewhat off topic but i was also thinking of another set but for my magdk and that would be overwhelming surge. Is it worth it despite no malacath band? I plan on using grothdarr and seducer heavy or maybe go light armor though idk which one is best for magdk rn

Pale order doesn't heal from proc damage.
Altho I've heard there are a couple of exceptions.
Honestly the dmg of the proc isn't that high, and it ticks every 2 seconds like soul trap.
That being said the stats on the set are great, so it could still be worth running.

precambria

it's good for magcro because they have really nothing else going for them and they get 15% dot dmg, I wish they would have kept a reason to keep soul assault as part of these builds though like make the set increase it's dmg or do something for that spell other than the same dot you can get from splitting trap on countless people. It's nice that it can be one barred better now but it's old buff to all the spells and passive of that line was WAY more fun it just needed to be toned down a bit.

tenryuta

soul shatter should apply the dot on cancel/finish to all effected enemies.
