Why Avatar of Fire? It completely messes up my DPS. Is there a synergy that I'm missing here?

Yeah, never mind that post. I guess I need to stop drinking. :P

Hey, I'm currently playing this build in Mayhem League. It is rough as certain events can just rek you (like torment on certain mobs), but so far the build is doing ok. I'm level 88 and this is my gear. (I know the flasks need to be adjusted)
I have one question. I want to upgrade my armour now, so I would either craft something from this (both ilvl 86 amd 85): Or get an Shroud of the Lightless. Was Shroud of the Ligthless discussed before? Is it worth the trouble to craft a proper Shaper or Hunter base armour over a Shroud which just needs to be 5-linked? If it is worth crafting, I can either go with a shaper base or a hunter base. Getting an Awakaner's Orb will be probably impossible in just one week, or I will pay a fortune. So is it better to get the Hunter Offerings mod or the Shaper mods? This is my first time playing this build since a long time, it has completely changed. So any help is appreciated! By the way, a Thread of Hope is also veeeery expensive, so I might have to skip that. Is that a problem? Another question: How does this build get to 1 million dps? My Arc tooltip dps currently is at 67.000, and my gear is pretty endgame-ready. So what do I improve to get another 950k dps? :D Zuletzt bearbeitet von goozaan#1433 um 07.12.2020, 18:41:02

" I can't answer all your questions but: Thread of Hope - needed to get sufficient points for cluster jewels which are probably also going to be impossible to get so I would skip it. DPS on tooltip isn't accurate, or at least isn't what is referenced by 1m DPS, what they're talking about is POB. The tooltip on mine in Heist, without having cast any spells but with Wrath on is only 220k but in POB it is 4m Sirus. That is with many, many, hours of playtime and thus significant currency input of several hundred exalts in gear to get there. |

I got less incentive on Mayhem due to Void League, so I went back to Heist to try the existing build.
For science, I switched my tanky setup to more aggressive setup by replacing a ring that seems good: with Essense Worm: And I finally realized how important a higher DPS helps. With Essence Worm + Wrath, my trade-off is: * +23% absolute DPS * -7% absolute Life (3851 --> 3581) * -2% absolute Mana * -5.3% absolute EHP (life + MOM + Arcane Cloak) The life drop looks huge, but it is tricky, because relative ratio is not huge, and actual EHP drop is smaller. That comparison gave me more confidence for the switch. I also had to sacrifice Chaos Resistance (-33%), and also realized that it is useless if mobs are killed early. --- Some examples: * with higher DPS we can kill map mobs easier without them hitting us at all * with higher DPS some bosses just get melted * one funny example is Hunter: previously I found it quite annoying to catch it, now can just kill it without any snakes spawned --- Cinderswallow is also nice quality change. For people who hasn't try this: highly recommend! Its combination of long duration + pseudo life/mana leech + onslaught is enjoyable. We can just jump into mobs and 'leech' those life/mana back. Small bonus: with Storm Brand as secondary skill, and some fire spell damage, watching mobs burnt by green wildfire is also interesting experience. For this build, we don't really need to buy the most expensive version (increase critical strike unveiled mod is nice, but if we already trigger EO, this mod is waste of money), something cheap like below is good enough.

" However, the most important question for me is, is the Shroud of the Lightless an OK endgame armor and can compete with a crafted hunter/shaper one? I got myself a Thread of Hope large. If I find time i gonna roll some cluster jewels and try that out. Zuletzt bearbeitet von goozaan#1433 um 08.12.2020, 12:37:57

" I am going to have to try out that Cinderswallow, I switched my Silver to a Bottle Faith and am not really impressed by the difference. I moved Curing to the life flask and Warding to the mana flask, since it can be used on full mana but the life one cannot be used at full life. I no longer have a staunching flask but bleed immunity no longer seems necessary with end game life regen. I agree with the DPS comment, the two lessons I learned this league that seem the most important are: 1 - Massive mana pool is required and should be the main focus; 2 - Being able to clear is extremely important, single target damage is great but if you can clear mobs fast you can use flasks with abandon as they are constantly getting recharged, and it helps with survival. |

" Hey sorry for the late reply, did not check the thread in the past few days. Not really hard, I think if you can beat Sirus then there's no problem with them. First you have to fight two of them, and after one dies the other will regain all his health (if I'm not mistaken) and have much more health. So you should focus on killing one of them first. I killed Vinny first so Vic regained his health and I fought him next. I'm not sure if the one left will have the same attack skills regardless of who he is (Vic or Vin) but Vic had this slam-hammer-on-ground kind of attack and it does quite a lot of damage. It's quite easy to dodge though, you can see his tell and know when he's gonna use the attack. He probably has more health than Sirus, but I think it takes shorter time to defeat him compared to Sirus, because Sirus has all that phases and at times he's invulnerable.
