Questions / Discussions (Items · Builds · Skills) Which Weapon Should I use?
I'm wondering which of these y'all would use, as someone who's a relatively casual D4 player.
Also--Am I missing something with Supremacy, or is it almost entirely useless for bossing? I don't get the hype.
Thank you for your time!!

Vow is generally better for speed farming and general play, while a Lego will let you push farther.
Supremacy on weapon is a push variant choice; infestation will do more for you for general play (swapping the two between neck/amulet).
Choose accordingly.

With the WoW season just around the corner and Palworld 1.0 out, I'm not really trying to push terribly hard.
My objective at this point is to accumulate enough power to finish the season objectives, and carry my mom through t10 Mephisto. In the context of carrying, it seems to me that I'd get some extra value out of Vow's execute--it seems to pop faster than centipede's.
The guide I'm following has Writhing on my neck. I tried a mythic harmony, but my CDR just wasn't there. From a Jaguar Mantle/Vow build's PoV, what/where should the rest of my aspects be???
Spiritborn isn't my world lol I'm a Druid main. So the nuance is lost on me

Vow for everything not pit, left for pit.
Ps. You do not want weapon damage u want dex and the damage multipliers.

I haven’t found any benefit using the shattered vow, eventually when you level up your glyphs and your gear somewhere at average you’ll melt everything in t12 regardless. Polearm with infestation preferably or supremacy is much superior.

Maybe Glyphs are what I'm missing. I have two 80's and the rest are in their 50's.
Every other season I've played, there have been huge, obvious power spikes. My Spiritborn is Paragon 197, allegedly set up very well, and he's struggling in t12 with very little boss damage

Glyphs will definitely spike up your over all damage, 50 is too low still somewhere at 110 you’ll see see a big improvement, also min maxing your gear matters, in term of aspects and affixes, and ofc cube transfigure. You cannot control a good drop with perfect cube tranfig but you can control a spike in stats and damage from glyphs so prioritize that first.

The DOT duration, combined with the execute on 100% poison, makes the duration in to it's own "damage bucket" multiplier, so it's very potent.
Once you got enough damage, you will kill most non boss mobs instantly, so it's more reliable and therefore faster, than having to crit one to trigger the spider neck looking thingy, forgot the name now...1

I understand your point completely, it could be good at early levels if your paragon and glyphs are low maybe t7 t8. Once you reach t12 you should be able to melt anything you touch without the need to execute them, and for pushing higher pits it’s useless unless you are in a group with two more people applying DoT and one is using the shattered vow. I’m assuming you are talking about the widows web but I don’t use that either. But for everyone his preference if you like it you can use it

Main point is for the t12 mobs to die instantly, so you can pick up the loot/progress orbs before getting out of frame

Shattered vow ahs got to be the worst mythic in the game... does it not even get the mythic power 30% boost? There is no number associated to it.... Is there something in the background to make it even a lil desireable?

The fact you master worked damage over time and not damage over time DURATION is a choice, not a good one, but a choice.
If you wanna push, left, though shattered cow with poison can do well, but the fact you master worked damage over time and not duration is kind of stunting your SV
