Key Takeaways:

  • Snapshotting damage over time does not work for Shadow Blight or Corpse Explosion abilities.
  • Glyphs also do not snapshot their bonuses.
  • Wither legendary nodes and Shadow Blade key passives do not snapshot either.

Testing Snapshotting Damage Over Time

MacroBioBoi conducted extensive testing to determine whether snapshotting damage over time is possible on the Necromancer. He focused on wither legendary nodes, Shadow Blade key passives, and the scaling of Shadow Blight passive. However, his findings revealed that snapshotting does not occur for any of these abilities. This means that the damage bonuses from glyphs and the scaling of Shadow Blight passive cannot be preserved through snapshotting.

MacroBioBoi’s video provides valuable insight into the snapshotting mechanics of the Necromancer in Diablo 4. It is clear that snapshotting damage over time does not work for abilities such as Shadow Blight and Corpse Explosion, as well as glyphs, wither legendary nodes, and Shadow Blade key passives. These findings are crucial for players looking to optimize their Necromancer builds and maximize their damage output.
