Penance Mark, the Choir of the Damned skill from the Affliction league, offers a unique twist on traditional cursing, summoning enemy phantasms to fight alongside you! Here’s how to harness its chaotic potential while staying safe and ethical:
Embrace the Phantom Dance:
Summon a Spectral Army: Unleash a horde of phantom foes upon your marked enemy, creating a distraction and potentially triggering valuable on-hit or on-kill effects.
Pinnacle Power Play: In solo encounters like pinnacle boss fights, these phantom allies can be the missing piece, providing flask charges and Vaal souls while taking the heat off you.
Mark with Precision: Choose your marked target wisely. Consider enemies most susceptible to phantasm-triggered effects or those surrounded by few other foes for maximum impact.
Ethical Considerations:
Respect the Dance: Remember, even though they’re summoned against their will, the phantasms retain their sentience. Approach their use with respect and mindfulness, aiming for strategic advantage rather than wanton destruction.
Balance the Scales: Don’t rely solely on phantasms to carry the day. Employ diverse tactics and utilize the mark’s other benefits responsibly to maintain a balanced and thrilling battle.
Community Comradeship: Share your experiences and strategies with other Penance Mark users! Discuss ethical ways to leverage the phantasm dance while preserving the spirit of fair play and camaraderie within the Path of Exile community.
Creative Strategies:
Phantasm Proliferator: Combine Penance Mark with skills that proliferate effects on kill, potentially spreading debuffs across the battlefield through your phantom puppets.
Phantom Bait: Lure enemies into hazardous zones using your summoned phantoms, creating strategic traps and tactical surprises.
Embrace the Chaos: Experiment with Penance Mark’s potential in unique situations and challenges. What bizarre synergies or tactical oddities can you unleash with your spectral dance partners?
Remember:
With great power comes great responsibility. Penance Mark offers a potent and captivating tool, but wield it with respect, strategic finesse, and an eye towards ethical gameplay. As you command your phantasm horde, let your creativity reign and your spirit of good sportsmanship guide the way!
Happy Phantom Prancing, Exile!
