Unresistable Damage or Oblivion Damage - useful

Zama666 · July 2021

Hello,

Using a Glyph of Decrease Health is supposed to give unresistable damage (Oblivion damage) - does this mean it is not affected by Pen or Armor? Or any other resistances?

"Deals Oblivion Damage based on a portion of the enemy's Max Health."

Is this of any value in PvP or meh? PVE?
Guessing PvP is more burst damage (non weapon)?

Tanks,

Z

Oblivion damage is irresistible. It can't be blocked, shielded, or otherwise mitigated.

That's also why there's a cap on it at max HP and it's downscaled considerably below max HP. With battlespirit, it's cut even further.

So, no, not since original Knight Slayer/Sloads am I aware of anyone using Oblivion damage with any greater result than any other damage type.

Stamblade here.

I run poisons on bow.
On my duel wield bar I run 1 oblivion and 1 disease.

Sometimes I run a 2h instead, in which case I run 1 oblivion glyph.

And yes, it works quite well.

Thanks @TheEndBringer !
Glyph of Foulness?
together do these both bypass pen and other resistance bonuses?

Should I use an oblivion damage glyph on my PvP mageblade?

The only glyph that goes through defense is oblivion. The reason why I don't run 2 oblivions is the way cooldowns work.
