I’ve had several near-death experiences, which I was fortunately able to escape with a bit of consumable usage (thanks in part to the high AC of the character).
Most of those near-death experiences occurred because building up a full stack of Mark of Atrocity cost about 50% of the characters maxhp.

(In terms of my tactics, the main mistakes I’m aware of are:

  • not using Infernal Servant enough
  • using consecutive casts of Unleash Destruction whilst not near stairs

)

EDIT: My numbers are wrong below. Please disregard. I missed that with Mark Atrocity, the cost of each consecutive UD increases.

If the wiki is correct and if I’m interpreting it correctly, each Unleash Destruction reduces HP by 6.5% * HP + 2.

4 Unleash Destructions from this character’s full 163HP give -28% HP (and larger at lower health).

-28% HP is a lot, for sure. (It is likely offset by some HP gain from resulting kills.) I’m sure the big 4th one is cool, but what about just doing 2 or 3?

I know this doesn’t help this character, but Mark of Atrocity seems like one I’d avoid.
