Libritannia's Mirror Craft Explanation Thread.

Welcome to my Thread, I'm LiBritannia, Some Call me LiBritanniaES or just Lib or Libri~
I'm going to explain my Mirror Craft's theory and Idea's. (My shop Thread is too big I can't add my Explanations there :( So here goes! (Be gentle)

This was my Gear Setup (out of date See comment Below)



These Are my Flasks



Screen Shot of my ST Damage (I'm Currently Level 96, I'm missing 4 Crucial Passive points (it's why I have Low Tool tip DPS)





(See Below for Potential level 100 DPS)

Screen shot of my Defenses





Dragon Hold- Dragon Hold - Unset Ring Offers 1 Additional Socket for the Cost of 1 single node. current LL ST / LL BM ST Builds with Full BiS items has approximately 96.7 Crit chance. Removing a single Diamond Ring (30% Crit chance) and Putting 1 additional point at Assassination cluster(20% Crit) will Cap your Crit at 95% chance. Thus the Trade off is 1 Gem Slot For 1 Skill point. You Can Do this with the Much popular Fyndel Throw Passive Tree

With that Said, I Do a Different Tree than Fyndel, I Reroute 2 10 INT nodes for an additional 2 nodes, 10 DEX and 10 STR nodes (157 DEX requirement for my lvl 21 Haste) I have 165 DEX, I grab Coordination, sniper and 1 30 DEX node, With This build I have 88% chance to hit(Same as Fyndel's throw).

With my specific, Gem slot's Has a few additional differences, My Whirling blades speed is 0.73 attack time, that's with it linking up with my Enhance, If I link Whirling blades With Faster attacks it gets 0.68 attack time, Thus I do not Require a Faster attackers Gem.

I Swap Lightning swap on my Dragon's hold Ring whenever I need to cross terrain, such as Piety 77 maps etc, For bosses I can switch to Assassination's mark or keep Vaal disc.

I run Vitally, and Purity of elements, I don't understand why not using it, since the blood mana isn't a problem~ (Less blood mana pool, but a higher hp regen rate) vs (Higher blood mana pool VS low hp regen rate)

I didn't get the lust for carnage cluster~ instead I opt for hired killer, it gives me 20 more base life pool, and if I kill things (typically one shot everything) I can throw non stop, With bosses I need to pop flasks~ however Hired killer is only 3 points instead of 6,

I also Run elemental Proliferate on my Herald of Ash and Ice, Any pack I slay will be lite up by ignite, and will catch any stragglers, Elemental proliferate will continue spreads the ingite Herald of Ash ignite one after another endlessly. It provides additional dps coverage and a second layer of efficient Damage Aoe Spread, and synergies very well with Hired killer.


Back onto topic, why reroute the Passive tree like this Libri you may ask, I Avoid Getting

Ballistic Mastery(20% Projectile speed, 15% Projectile Damage and 20 DEX), and it's 2 stat nodes (10int 10DEx)

2 30 DEX nodes( Agility & Alacrity)

2 10 Int stat nodes

(7 nodes)

Instead I get Coordination, Sniper and Quickness

Coordination(12% Increased Attack speed, 6% Cast speed and 20 Dex)

Sniper (Cluster 26% Projectile Damage, 10% Projectile speed)

Quickness (20% Physical Damage, 5% Movement speed and 10 DEX)

2 Additional Assassination crit nodes, (20% & 20% Crit nodes (1x 20% Crit node is extra but helps pathing))

1 30 DEX node (Alacrity)

(7 nodes)

It is the same amount of nodes , However I'm Currently level 96. Fyndel's throw Tree is lvl 100, I have 5 additional points to allocate.

Possible Point Allocation;

Cruelty (35% Crit multi) & Slight of hands (30% Physical damage and 8% Attack speed)

or Spec Back into Nullification for ES Res (But my Res is capped and Es is at 8.2k Without BiS mirror craft Belt)

The potential at Level 100 Is very high, Below is Possible Dragon Hold Gem slot usage.





(I took away my ES nodes to fill my Cruelty & Slight of hands(The ES should remain the same at 8352)




Possible Blue Socket Usage


Possible Green Socket Usage


Possible Red Socket Usage


Side note,
Purity of Elements caps my Resistances, Without a BiS Mirror craft belt, I Personally spent 3 EX crafting this belt, The effects of this belt is the SAME as a mirror craft, As you cannot get more res than already capped on resistances. (AKA 2 for 1 mirror craft win, If you run purity of a similar setup as mine.)

Chimeric Nail - Chimeric Nail - Originally Chimeric Nail was designed to be used in a Pair, By Using 2 Chimeric Nail, You can Avoid Getting 1 30 DEX Node With Fyndel's Throw. If you use Dddimes Spell Damage shield "Gloom call" or Purity of Elements You will be Resistances Capped. Thus additional stats becomes incredibility Valuable, If you Pair Chimeric Nail With AXN's Golem Knuckle (49DEX) ring you Do not need to take Any Dex nodes.

Base stats Break down

Witch is 14 DEX, Scion is 20 DEX, Ranger starting DEX is 32,

Ranger has to spend 5 Points to get onto the skill tree high way

Scion has to spent 4 points to get onto the skill tree high way

Witch Has to spend 1 point to get onto the skill tree.

However Ranger does not get the Spell power nodes that Scion has, but instead has IAS ACC and Projectile damage,

Scion has 10 6 6 6 Spell power.

Witch gets 40% mana regeneration rate and 14flat ES, However Personally If you get high enough level, Witch is the best because you can get the high spell damage nodes on the other side of it's starting wheel, Ideally saying (LVL 100 LL BM ST ) Witch is the strongest.

As a Ranger you only need 1 of my Chimeric Nail to Avoid Getting 2 30 DEX nodes.

Because math. you get 70 Dex on Tree,+ 20 All Attributes on neck (in this case a Carrion braid), 15 from ring, 15 from same ring, 1 30 Dex node.

14 if Witch = 164, 20 If scion = 170, 32 if Ranger = 182, As Ranger you Have the choice of only using 1 Copy of this ring. because 182-15 = 167

LVL 21 Haste requires 157 DEX

Additional usage, if you Opt out of Lust for Carnage Cluster, You Will not have enough Str to Run a Lvl 21 vitality, If you Perfer to use the Hired Killer Cluster.

Lust for Carnage VS Hired Killer
Lust for Carnage Cluster ( 2 10 Strength nodes, 30 Life Gain on kill, 3% Life Leech, 4 Life Gain on Hit) (6 Nodes)

Hired Killer (14% Max life, 20 Life Gained on Kill) Hired Killer Is located on your Skill tree highway, Thus only (3 Nodes) The Max Life Gained From Hired Actually Increases your Effective Life pool by 24 Hp, and If you Run a Vitality Version of LL BM ST The Life gained from Hired Killer Cluster Would Also Increase your Effective Life Regen aka Your effective Red Mana pool.

Personally I prefer the Hired killer Cluster, It costs less skill points, as I Run a Purity of elements version of the LL BM ST build, I believe in a Lower Red mana pool with higher Regeneration rate as Effective red mana, Than High Red mana pool with lower red mana pool Regeneration. My base stats are higher than Resistance ring users, However I require to Flask once or Twice on Big bosses such as Uber Atrizi, because there's a lack of trash mobs to kill.

I Have Surgeons Flasks, They Refill on Crit Aka Every hit I do, So not Real problems there, Just a few Mirco managements. On Any other Solo maps, I do not require to flask, Unless there reduced Mana regeneration mods, with no Mana Regeneration mods I switch off Vitality for a Larger Mana pool and pop flasks, as I go.

Kind Reminder

2 STR = 1 Life
5 Str = 1% Melee Phsyical damage

1 DEX = 2 Accuracy
5 DEX = 1% Evasion

2 INT = +1 Mana
5 INT = 1% Energy Shield








Dusk Collar - Is a Full ES Tank MF ( IIQ & IIR) Gold Amulet, It's pretty much Self explanatory, Using Mf Gear Doesn't provide much stats, therefore the 30 All stats is important. **Caution** This build Does Zero Damage, She is Ideal usage is to Cull Dominus, I Roughly Make 1 Exalted Worth of Alteration orbs per Hour Without Any Drops / sales Revue, on Dominus Split runs.







With Triggered, I have 547 IIR & 143 IIQ



I Rely on my High Es Regen.

That Epic ring gaining a slot for 1 point is awesome.

I want to ask what your DPS is without the Atziri flask popped?
