[Exploit] Hardmode ToC Twins Easier

[jaxi]

I can confirm that making your warlocks attune themselves to the light portal, then use HELLFIRE will actually raise their empowering light buff. You can get your warlocks to a 99 stack before the fight even starts!

How it works:
Light orbs deal FIRE DAMAGE upon exploding. The Light buff stacks based on how much FIRE damage is done to you. Hellfire happens to be fire damage, so when you use hellfire, the light portal buff absorbs the damage, and begins to stack the Empowered light buff.

Im confused as to how and why this would work ....

When your light attuned u can pick up light orbs and with enough receive a empowered light buff. Now your saying if u hellfire ( ie do damage to urself ) u receive these stacks like u would collecting orbs and gain a Empowered Light buff.

The buff mentions that absorbing dmg gives u stacks. Hmm so basically the Orbs no matter what colour ALL DO DAMAGE to you when u hit them BUT when u hit the same colour to your attunment u absorb it therefore gaining stacks and the difference with the opposite orbs is that the dmg isnt absorbed so u just receive the hit to your HP...

Assuming som1 can confirm this then there would be numerous methods to reproduce this via the use of spells , items etc that affect your HP. Although i understand the way the orbs and the empowered buff mechanic actually works alot better, im still MASSIVELY CONFUSED as to why damaging yourself is absorbed as if it was "light/dark" and rewards u with stacks..

Im not sure how the hardmode version work's but i'm pretty sure you get the stacks increase from both orbs and damage taken.

Once confirmed you get a rep cookie.

Also,

Shadow Word: Death stacks the dark debuffs for any shadowpriests who do the fight. Not sure if its possible to use SW: D before the fight starts, but once you're going, SW: D is a good spell to stack dark.

Works like a charm, takes a little while to stack up though.

Want to do fire damage to yourself and aren't a warlock?
Sulfuron Slammer
4 damage per 3 seconds, for 6 seconds.

If it goes by the number of times you're damaged, rather than the cumulative amount that is.
