After posting this I went back and tested Oalson with Flare. It was doing 22-25k damage with max magic. Apocalypse was about 22k consistently. The issue I had with the mages is that there were some fights they just couldn't survive the damage that was going out at them. I am always going to build damage first, so I wasn't really willing to sacrifice the magic gains on nethercite for some HP for him. Now in hindsight, there are some opportunities to steal/farm for stat items/money sink stuff in order to purchase some shards and things to raise HP up sooner in the game. His damage output might some of the highest in the game. I could have swapped Jasmine for him in my playthrough as she was my raw dps in my team, but oh boy he did carry hard for me in the pyramid by just blowing everything up non-chalantly. Thanks for sharing the info on him I appreciate it!
