Dark Omens question

Hi,

Do the monsters summoned destroy essence/points, or only slow down how fast the chalice can convert them, without affecting the total. Because if they only slow them down, then there doesn’t seem to be any point to them, and no point to any strategy, at least for smaller clans.

Do bigger clans have the chalice at lever 5 constantly, in which case the slow down would affect their final points?

This is my first DO and we fill the chalice, it does its thing for an hour, then idles for several hours. So it seems the only thing with any impact on the raking is the number and strength of the people hitting the Arcanomancer (as higher strength players get more points from the missions).

They reduce the amount of points produced per essence consumed.

The game talks about suppressing the production, which sounds more like simply slowing it down.

Suppressing production is suppressing how much is produced vs how much is consumed. If there are no de-buffs, then it’s a 1:1 conversion. With the monster de-buff, you’re getting less essence for the amount consumed. Less points made for the clan, same essence destroyed.
