by If I Run Covenant of Pestilence & max out Solid Pestilence:
- Buffs your armour by giving a 5% increase to armour (which is applied before...) and a +400 armour increase. This makes T0 full plate a more appealing attraction before getting T1 armour
.- I can accumulate up to 20 Blood Seals from melee attacks I take.
- Triggering Seal of Yog when I have 20 blood seals will heal me 1400 hp and increase my max HP by 1400 - this works out as a 70 health increase/heal per seal. Don't be afraid to use Seal of Yog when you are under 20 Seals
Piercing, crushing, slashing and poison attacks are classed as melee and fall under this. Note that poison isn't actually shown as a melee attack but is counted as such (good for Farty boss)
If I Run Covenant of Invulnerability & max out Invulnerable Soul:
- I gain +500 Protection in the form of a 5 stacked Protection buffed. Each stack is removed with a spell attacked and refreshed each 10 seconds.
- I can accumulate up to 10 Arcane Seals from magical attacks I take.
- I have a high chance of resisting magic attacks - this actual resist amount diminishes per stack; unknown amount at the moment...
- Triggering Seal of Yog when I have 10 Arcane Seals will drain the caster of mana and my critical hit figure is bumped up by around 12%...1st critical hit under this will return around 90 mana with each hit increasing the amount; the 5th amount will return around 300 mana. Mana drain is around the same - so this combined with a Incinerate Ether feated Mystical Bane can drain a mana user to around 50-60% (if all MB combos used - based on PvP experience
). Will only allow for 5 mana drains from a caster.- Works really well with Hexed Mark Soul - in fact, I'd say if you don't have HMS with fully feated CoI then you need to rethink things
A Spellguard nuke can hit for 500 dmg if you don't resist it with both this up at 5 stacks + HMS - a Guard takes around 900-1.3k.Electricity, Cold, Fire, Holy and Unholy are all magic attacks and takes advantage of this.
NOTE: There is a bug that was reported on TL - changing from 1 Covenant to another may keep the previous Covenant's Seals - personally, I've managed to get a 12 stack on Arcane Seals using this (has been reported as bug in case anyone thinks I like to exploit
) - hopefully it is fixed in the next patch.Not maxing out either Solid Pestilence or Invulnerable Soul will reduce the amount of Seals you can acquire and reduce the bonus armour/protection you get.
If anyone has questions/comments/etc., post here - lets make us DTs rule the World!
