I notice that facing undead is pretty rough. I've got 5 pts in the betrayal skill but you only get a measely 3% for upgrading that skill. (Brimstone and onslaught do much more damage and they affect all enemies)

Fighting kalixia with a sabretooth and decent gear for untwinked (best I've ever found untwinked in 20 characters) I really couldn't damage her too rapidly and I was taking a lot of damage with my 1850 health (and I'm wearing amulet with health and I've maxed mastery points and dropped 10 attribute points into health).

Maybe if I maxed way of Kane or used my other mastery but I can't be respeccing just to fight an undead boss. I think that undead typhon will be a nightmare.

Maybe I just need to learn to play vampire better. In that case how are other vamps taking down kalixia?

The question is what is the +%damage working on? As the skill does 0 damage therefor this seems pointless, as 0+any% is still 0. If it was -damage resist (non %) that be difference and work the same as -18 resist is the same as +18% damage (Since undead dont have any damage resist).

ATM it only useful for the immobilization as far as i can see.

It makes you do an extra 30% damage to undead. Since it specifies undead it increases: burn, fire, lightning, piercing, bleeding, vitality, physical.

So don't get me wrong the base 1 pt in it is worth 18% damage. But then another 4 pts spent only grant another 12% damage.

yes but its not a buff but an aoe attack skill, with no damage on it so my question still stands as +18% of nothing is nothing.

Oh I thought it was a buff. Maybe the undead are doing 30% more damage to me, lol.

I downloaded the 1.01 update to mastery. The change to vibrancy helped vs. kalixia and the undead. Its still a weak spot but now kalixia is potion killable.

Just wait for the Betreyal skill...it will work in the next version and it rocks. ;)
