You don't think sacrificing a little Spell damage and going hybrid Spell/Phys wouldn't be better? With hybrid you can use acuity and your suvivability would be 10x that of the normal spell only. Also, using COE would result in ALL the spell damage you get from gear to affect the phys. This is how i defeated Uber but i used daggers. I was first melee to kill her. Just my 2c.

I don't think it's necessary since with the huge amount of DPS even 2% leech heal you back to full instantly (at least when fighting things which have enough HP which is the case with uber). Atziri's Promise offers even further leech for instance on maps where packs have too little HP. As you can see in my courtyard reflect video there are absolutely no issues even without atziri's promise.

Uber is absolutely no problem and I've done 9 successive deathless solo runs at this point. I levelled my last level up almost exclusively from uber in fact. :)

I also think, that if more leech is desired after all it's better to just use a life leech gem, link warlord's mark with CoC or use berek's grip, granting 5% leech against frozen enemies. That should lead to far more leech compared to the lost DPS.

Thanks for info. Gonna have alex do a comparison and post results just to make sure.

I'll just quickly illustrate my calculations so that they are open:

Let's assume by replacing the %leech mod on the wand with flat phys and by replacing the hybrid spell damage mod with %phys we gain a final 80k physical DPS on barrage. This is VERY unrealistic and I'd be surprised if the physical DPS of barrage would even surpass 30k since it isn't even linked to any support gems giving it damage. The 100k number is to prove that hybrid leech is inferior even in extremely good conditions.

Assuming 25% total physical leech (again very high, not likely to be achieved) we'd leech 20k ES per second.

We further assume that we don't lose any damage by going hybrid (which is not the case at all, but again, favorable conditions to hybrid). In this case we leech 1% of 2m DPS from doryani's invitation, which is another 20k ES per second. In total we leech 40k ES per second.


Now let's look at the leech when playing pure spell damage with 2% leech. We leech 2% of 2m DPS which again results in 40k ES per second leech.


What do we notice? In very unrealistically perfect conditions when going hybrid for leeching we don't gain any leech at all while still sacrificing damage. In reality we would actually lose a substantial amount of leech.

I want to note, that when not removing the 1% leech of the wand the lack of flat phys or %phys would result in severely subpar hybrid DPS, netting a very insignificant amount of leech which would not be able to outmatch the loss of leech by losing damage. You can confirm this for yourself when applying the same calculations I used above.


Finally we did not consider Atziri's Promise. With the flask up we would lose an INSANE amount of leech when going hybrid - feel free to also confirm this with the very same calculation method. We would almost half our leech in that case.

__________________________________

Now let's look at what happens when replacing one skill gem with Life Leech as I described in my previous post. We would lose half our DPS by only having 1 spell, resulting in 1m residual DPS, but we would gain 9% life leech, resulting in a total of 11% life leech.

We would then have a whopping 110,000 ES leeched per second.

Assuming with flasks up we have 75% all res on a -max map. Dual reflect monsters reflect 32% of our damage (18% + 14%) which is 8% when applying elemental resistances. Since we leech 11% of our damage we are at no risk of dying. Furthermore since the damage of individual hits is not much (we hit often, not too hard, to gain our DPS) we are at no risk of killing oneshottinjg ourselves with reflect. Atziri's acuity might not always trigger instant leech, but keep in mind that this only is the case for NON-CRITS where we don't deal much damage in the first place.

Also have a version with t1 acc instead of 31 crit.

Sadly the +30 to all attributes isn't required at all since you can get the dex basically for free on your ring slot. Your amulet is worse than AXN's in all cases as far as I can tell since both the global crit and accuracy are very important stats. :/

Optimal would be the one I posted in the OP with flat ES instead of flat phys damage.

After the discussions we had about the wand this might surprise you Tom, but I got a good deal, huehue:



Brace yourself for a heated discussion about a new ring I want to craft when I get home from work by the way. Banana :^)

You prob have tryed it all. But Sean you use RF. How you though about fireball and FLAME SUEGE for the face taking of Uber Atziris? Another extra 50% damage. And only one element to leech from Fire.

Yeah, it'd yield more leech, but Arctic Breath gives more DPS and additional range when not shotgunning which really helps in the minion phase. The additional leech isn't really necessary with such a huge amount of DPS since the ES almost instantly refills anyways.

is possible to do this build with shadow ?

Yup, will just lose some ES and gain some damage.

The core items of this build are 2 Void Batteries as they are hands-down the best affordable weapon for Cast On Critical Strike.

I am so confused by this statement. If Void Battery counts as affordable, you can **** my face and call me Fanny.

Otherwise, awesome build :)
