Singularity Band

The  is a void item added in the Survivors of the Void expansion, and the corruption of and.

When striking an enemy with an attack that deals 400% or more base damage, the Band creates a 15m black hole, which pulls enemies in its radius into its center. After 5 seconds, the black hole explodes, dealing 100% (+100% per stack) total damage to all enemies inside its radius. This bonus attack has a cooldown of 20 seconds and a proc coefficient of 1.0.

Tips

 * Unlike its uncorrupted counterparts, this item has a proc coefficient of 1.0, so it can activate certain items such as, , and . Because both Sticky Bomb and Brilliant Behemoth deal area-of-effect damage, they pair extremely well with the black hole effect of the Singularity Band. A single stack of Brilliant Behemoth, for example, will increase the single enemy damage to a total of 160% of the value of the attack that brought the Singularity into existence. More enemies will further increase this value by 60% per enemy (or squared when it comes to total damage).
 * In this situation, it takes just 5 enemies for the total damage of Singularity Bands to surpass that of an equal number of stacks of Kjaro's Band, and just 2 enemies to deal almost as much single-target damage as an equal number of stacks of Runald's Band.
 * While it has double the cooldown of its uncorrupted counterparts and a 5-second delay when dealing damage, this item has neither the single-target limitation of Runald's Band nor the need for targets to stay close to the activation point of Kjaro's Band.
 * Since the Singularity Band deals considerably less raw damage than its uncorrupted counterparts, it can be useful for Survivors who lack extremely powerful single-hit skills but who can still activate the Bands with their skills. In this case, the Singularity Band's utility for grouping up enemies may be more useful than the pure damage of Kjaro's and Runald's Bands.

Trivia

 * Prior to Patch 1.2.4, the Singularity Band did not have a proper proc chain mask. Because the black hole has a proc coefficient, by clearing the cooldown debuff with the Blast Shower before it collapses, the Singularity Band could activate itself again. With more than 1 stack, each subsequent black hole would deal multiple times as much damage as the previous one.
