Are all imbuements worth it?

Question

I really only imbued something once or twice. This isn't a daily for me, I'm an old-timer in the sense of how I hunt. BUT I've heard great things about imbuing. So I was wondering if you can give me the pros to imbuements. If you could list all the imbuements in your opinion on whether they are worth it - I'd really appreciate that as well as a bonus.

Answer 1

Sure all imbuents worthy. Some of them will let you hunt at areas that you couldn't hunt before, another will provide a bigger profit at the end of hunting. Today I don't think is viable to do any good hunt without imbuements, all you need to research is which imbuements are the better option for each hunt. I'll give you an example:

Lets think about a hunt at Nightmare Islands, there I (Paladin lvl 540) use to hunt in 2 different ways: ED + RP or party with knight, so we have:

• ED + RP: in this case I will be the blocker so I'll go to the hunt with all imbuents possible 2 vampirism 2 void 1 critical 1 precision
• Party + EK: but if I'm hunting with a party I dont need to block so I can jsut use imbuements to provide me mana and extra damage.

Answer 2

The ones I think are not worth (almost nobody uses them) are:

• Death damage  (part of physical damage is Converter to death damage): It is much more useful to convert this physical damage to other elemental damage.
• Holy protection (reduces holy damage taken by some percent): useless until the winter update 2019, where creatures with strong holy damage were intruded. Before this only a few used holy damage, and for them It was not their main elemental attack (ex: falcons)
• Shielding (increases your shielding skill): this is used un shields, helmets and spellbooks, but on these items are much more useful to imbue elemental protections, attack skill imbuements/Magic level and mana leech.

The rest of them, as lehula said are really useful.

Comments

Holy Damage creatures were not introduced in winter update 2019.
Creatures doing holy damage is a thing since they added Fernfang to the game (2005), of course it is not needed for Fernfang, but don't forget that Falcons also deal holy damage.

You right, I meant to say creatures which main damage is holy. Because falcons' attacks are mainly Terra and Energy.
