1.3 Life Based "Shatter Chuck Lite" Barrage - CoC build (updated the tree)
|
Here is my version of your build
I started off with yours but I felt to squishy against chargers, leapers, and things that just get close in general by accident. Also I found using a 20/20 warlords mark instead of a life leech gem helps a hell of a lot! You put it at the front of your chain and you leech not only life but mana so running on under 100 mana is no issue what-so-ever, and you gain endurance charges to fuel your immortal call (cwdt, immortal call, increased duration), been doing it for 2 days now and haven't killed myself! Now I don't use a Voll's I use... Mainly cause I can't afford to six link atm, but I use a Tabula Rasa for my CoC-setup, so my tree lacks charges, but I don't need them anyways I get the 3 by default and the 1 from the bandit! I crit as soon as I attack, with 94% accuracy and 60% passive barrage critical strike chance! I was able to pick up more crit than your tree has which helped! And I was surprised at how well it worked, I was weary seeing as I lose my charges on crit, but they build right back up instantly in a constant cycle so to speak. Now that tree isn't optimized for someone on voll's setup, you would have to wiggle in charges and Eledritch Battery. And My tree works best with pure evasion gear!

Curses are fun without groups, with groups it never stays up so your survival will also be absolutely minimal then. The dmg is already high enough in my opinion survival is what the build needs the most. use both the curse and a health gem is more advisable in my opinion then.
Also 60% crit chance isn't high at all, as i have atm with 8 charges ( 2 from voids, 6 from the tree ) 89.2%, and i use a necklace + 1 ring that doesn't offer any crit at all with that. If you don't crit, you won't do any dmg at all. The fact that you constanly have to rebuild charges is also a big downsize of that ring, because the biggest problem this build has against boss fights = rebuilding charges. It could very well be that your first cast doesn't proc anything, which means no life regen = dead in a second. Having to constantly relay on a zero charge first attack = basically cut my crit by 2x. = 2x more casting required. A big no no. The ring just doesn't work very well. The mana regen issue really isn't there for me ( i do use a 60% mana regen necklace tho, which helps a ton ) but mostly i fire my dmg in salvo's anyway ). The only reason to keep spraying your skills is when you fight a boss, as with 1 spray your entire screen is already dead anyway. But boss fights only require in mine solution 2 sprays max, mostly 1 spray just wrecks the boss 50% second finish him off entirely. If not there is enough mana to fire a additional 10 more. Which is far enough. So mana issue's are really not presented much. Anyway, here is my first attempt at giffing ( the recording lagged my pc out, and the fights aren't done perfectly or else the bosses would instantly die basically, but oh well. domi + piety example of the burst that you can do )  Last edited by GATYGUN#5324 on Nov 29, 2014, 2:24:55 PM

" I know it's not optimal the way im doing it, but until I can afford to six link my voll's it's gonna have to do...I understand im not getting the full benefit of the charges, but it's working...I was weary when I started, but I am doing 73 maps atm at 72 and I am having no crit issues...if I do manage to hit a dry spell I pop a diamond flask, but I rarely have to do that. And yeah curse wouldnt work in party, I knew that...I level faster solo however. and im talking 60% crit without any charges btw, and I crit on my 1st or 2nd charge so I think its enough personally...I tried grping early and got asked to leave 3 different parties from none stop spell spam lol |

Playing this build as a Shadow (because no more chars with respec). Enjoying it a lot. My gear..
I'm using Eleron jewelery so my Barrage costs only 1 mana. Is anyone else using Eleron crafts (I know mine are crap). I'm using Herald of Ice, Purity of Ice, and Haste currently. Also on my char sheet I can see the leech from my Eleron craft and my Doryani's belt but not from the gem, what gives? Thanks for the great build!! |

Stupid question but I have been away from PoE for a while and forgot all mechanics.
Does Piscators' "Attacks with this weapon have an additional xxx% Elemental damage" apply to CoC spells? I have a level 83 witch who used to run Ele Wander that has a free respec, would like to try out CoC before the 1.3 patch so I can respec again as backup. If it does apply, would it be a good wand to use or should I get something else? |

Might have already been covered but I'm not reading 20 pages of replies. But how do you get 3 greens? Just pay voici? What if you end up with 3 greens and 3 reds? Fork out another 285 chroms?

I wasted a couple of thousand doing the 3 green vorici craft. After I ran out of chroms I started doing the 25 for 2 green sockets whenever I had collected 25 and got it in about 4 tries.

" I find group play more stable to be honest. Specially when a mf is in there. Lots of drops more. Anyway if you don't want to get booted out of a group don't use skills that lag the whole screen full of effects. I often encounter coc people getting booted out the same group i'm in, because they find it funny to lag the entire party out with arctic breath + ball of lightning and think its cool. Use ice spear + arc and nobody will complain. Your burst dmg on bosses will be lower, but still incredible high that you will kill 6 man bosses in a few sec. " Drop the belt and go for a hp increase belt. more hp is more interesting then a bit of dmg + leech as your leech with life leech gem is already high enough, your hp aka survival is more interesting. " Is this the first time you chrome a armour? The armour only has 3 offcolor gems ( 3x green ). This means that on a average of 71 chroms the color has to appear. 4 offcolors is extremely hard 5 is almost impossible let alone 6. 1 offcolor = 11 chroms on average 2 offcolors = 22 chroms on average 3 offcolor = 71 chromes on average 4 offcolor = 551 chroms on average 5 offcolors = 12.289 chroms on average 6 offcolors = 66.595 chroms on average You are probably just unlucky then, because getting the colors isn't going to be hard on this armour at all. going for the 285x 3x green socket crafting solution is absolute insanely overpriced to get these colors hell even the 2x green option is overpriced. Just chrom it normally. Last edited by GATYGUN#5324 on Dec 2, 2014, 5:54:18 AM
