Silly Question - Betrayal

[bimdi]

Hi Guys,

Just a quick question...

I am currently working on a Myrmidion (CloseCombat/Vampirism) using the Way of Kane primarily to boost my DPS and pierce damage. My question is if I spec up to Betrayal can I cast it while using Way of Kane or do I have to be using the Nosferaturian Way to cast this spell.

As the name says I know its a silly question but really my only real experience is with TQIT Classic and as far as I can recall the lines in the skill tree were always synergies... IE. they added to the skill below. So based on that you would need to have Nosferaturian Way active to use the Betrayal skill.

Really I just want to branch out a bit more in Vampirism as I am about lvl 40 now starting epic and so far the only other skill I have really used was Vampire Bats and Bat Bite (both maxed) which I respecced since they could not stay alive in Act4 Normal for very long. In fact in many cases they were dead long before the recast timer had expired.

Any thoughts suggestions would be fantastic.

By the way if you are curious, Close Combat is going Dual wield and have maxxed most of it with some points in War Cry for a stunner (which so far I also dont like too much... recast is too long)

PinkFrog wonderful mod keep up the fantastic work

Betrayal is Draculian and no you don't have to have draculian way active to cast it. You do need 1 pt in Draculian way however. You may even have kanian way active and cast betrayal.

The guys say they are working on fixing betrayal. So far the hold effect works but I don't think the increase in damage does. Try points in vibrancy (with 1.01 loaded). It is pretty helpful against undead with hemmorage or soul shiver artifact.

First off thanks for the quick reply

Strangely I actually have no issues damage wise killing undead now that im home here is a run down of my current stats....

Level: 41
Stat Points Available: 15

Health: 1911
Energy: 585
Strength: 360
Intelligence: 82
Dexterity: 273

Avg. Damage: 571
Attack Speed: 199%
DPS: 1139

Thats with decent gear (all found in this game). I have just begun epic and aside from the life leech (i dont get health return) I don't have issues with killing them quickly. I just made it to Sparta and killed the undead outside no problem. So really I am more just looking for some ideas on how to expand my Vampire side since all I have is the 3 skills on the Kane side maxed I am thinking the stun on undead would be good an when patched the damage add would just be a bonus

I do appreciate the fact that you cleared up the main point of my post as it means I should now be able to mix and match some skills from other lines (have 4 skill points available) to see what else works

Thanks again and any other ideas here would be greatly appreciated
