[3.10] Death's Oath CI Occultist (RETIRED)
|
Just wanted to pop in an say thanks for the guide. First time in 6 years I've payed ES XD (I should have gotten on it a long time ago, but, ye, generally a melee player, or MF Ripper).
It's interesting how ES scales. It was quite fun to roll ES gear, felt a bit easier than the life + flat phys + res that I'm always gunning for. Anyway, current gear listed below. The wands for this build seem bit pricey, imo (not a caster / spell player, so don't really know, my wep cap is starforge :P), so just using one i dropped while playing another build. Not great but I figured it'll do (yes?).
Spoiler
Currently sitting at 7.2k es (all gear self rolled or found, all up spent about 3ex on crafting), which I don't think is bad for a first foray into ES :) Either way, thanks again, fun build. Semi OT - started this as i got the DO of colours in 46 chromes XD EDIT: Once I unlock the damn 3rd tier of chaos crafting (gated behind temple poison room) I'll start looking at crafting a new wep. I will write something here when I can think of something clever and amusing. Zuletzt bearbeitet von PyknoR#7488 um 25.04.2019, 00:39:08

" The first thing that my eyes noticed is 23 lvl of ED. Alleopathy with +2 gems corruption... well, yeah, i didn't thought about it. Nevertheless, my calculation wasn't wrong, as i said if we have 330k initial, then we could have +100k. But i would recommend to just state % of more damage, cause it's more universal, and people will not need to guess how much those +100k DPS. Generally, i think that infused channeling still better for the cause. I mean, we don't really care about blight damage (it's too small), and ED is just support for death aura. For the single target i would rather have weapon switch on +gems bow/staff, instead of switching gems in gloves. ED and SR have aoe, yes, but debuff that they apply is kind of independent. CA for example don't have damage of cloud increased by slower projectile support (it was so in the past, but not anymore). Just know that tag is only means that it "can be supported", but damage calculation of different part can be with different rules. |

Yes, 6L staff would be better boss killer, but it costs way more than one gem o)
And I've got the idea behind area of effect, applying debuff that deals damage and actual area damage. Like CE support affects ED/SR because of AoE tag but it does nothing to damage because each instance of DoT is single target. |

Why do you take "Whispers of Doom" keystone? The only curse you have listed is temporal chains. I think I just don't get it, maybe someone can explain it to me =)

" It's not only temporal chains, it's also despair, which is one of the biggest chunk of our damage (around 60% more). If not for witchfire brew flask that provide us free despair aura, we would definitely run despair by themselves, even if we need to cut something out (or maybe even selfcast it) Zuletzt bearbeitet von Med1umentor#6844 um 25.04.2019, 07:01:11

" Infused chanelling gives less ED damage, but more blight and DO damage. Also phys reduction while channelling. Conc doesn't work with ED despite the aoe tag. Think they mentioned that in patch notes somewhere. " It's okay as a start. You don't really need minion damage wand if you can get one with a good non chaos multi roll and then multimod it. " What Med1umentor said. Sorry for the late replies guys. Med1umentor thanks for answering. I make build guides for fun.

I have a question (It may have been answered somewhere in these 25 pages but ain't nobody got time for that).
Being that this is a CI build and we dont have a health pool. Why not CWC Soulrend for the ES regen instead of ED? Is it because of the damage enchant for ED? I didnt read the FAQ Zuletzt bearbeitet von TheGaminSeshion#9307 um 27.04.2019, 12:16:04

" Well ED gives ES regen and lasts longer so I feel its more reliable during boss fights where you can't cast it that often. But I haven't tested SR on CWC so I'm not sure. I make build guides for fun.

Yay, finally finished my wand, only took two tries bricking an "of crafting" wand XD... not as good as the ones in the OP, but it does the trick
