Tips

  • Starting with Desecrator or Dreadbringer, then finding another Curse augment in round 3, is recommended.4
  • For a Curse build, upgrading the current Curse augments and hoping for Dreadbringer or Doomsayer later is preferred over taking mid-tier Prismatic augments.5

Interactions

  • Pairing Dreadbringer with Desecrator lets you gain stats passively while near enemies.6
  • Kled can deal over 1,000 true damage per second with Dreadbringer, Doomsayer, Goliath and Icathia Quest.7

    These augments later returned in V25.05 with reworked effects. The Plaguebearer augment was also renamed to Dreadbringer.

    All Curse augments' (Dark Blessing, Deathtouch, Desecrator, Doomsayer, Dreadbringer) descriptions and the tooltip for the Curse buff (maximum possible stacks the player can gain per round) now refer to Curse stacks "Cursed Power" instead of "stacks of Curse."
