A Quick mechanical query as to the use of Karma in m+
Does it work on things like Rezan wanting to chow down on you? Like can i Karma him and let him chomp on me? Would it be a DPS loss or would it be a clever use of it?
Also does it work on targeted ground spells, like the jump that the Raptors in Kings Rest do, or the last boss.
All in all: what are some clever ways you use karma either to boost your DPS or to soak a certain death mechanic?
You can’t really use karma offensively as a dps push in m+. Taunting stuff would most likely end up in you getting blown up through karma (trash+bosses) (obviously depending on key lvl)
Yes it works on ground effect just think of karma like a disc priest shield. Just absorbs 50% of you hp and with the side effect of redirecting all absorbed damage to the target you used karma on. (If the target you used karma on dies the shield will disappear!)
In dungeons you want to use karma either on trash that does random hits (shooters in siege,tol dagor and similar mobs) or bosses that do AoE dmg pulses like 2nd boss in underrot when he tantrums, the priestress boss in atal when she sucks your blood etc.
WW has already some of the weakest defensives for PvE so most of the time you really need them as that and not “waste” karma offensively
Edit: changed char from mage above to my main monk, forum messed up and a random char got selected
Yes, you could use Karma that way, but i wouldn’t really advice doing it, atleast not in m+, for lower stuff go for it, nothing will get trough it tbh.
