Elemental maniac - 4 auras, 3 Heralds ; 30k+ dps, HP, non-crit WIP
|
Hello, I would like to introduce my melee elemental shadow build - Elemental maniac
Someone might say... Bro this is ele cleaver! You copy. Bastard! And I would say yes. But this one is maniac.  Passive tree - current lvl 86 - I'm leading one branch to Unweaving stance now (+Aura Nodes)

Gear requirements:
Spoiler
We need two special uniques to run this build properly:
Alpha's howl Prism Guardian also we're searching for gear with ele dmg, or ele dmg with weapons Weapon: 3ele ias 1h sword - be careful about dex requirements) My Gear:

Links:
Spoiler
Armor: Cleave (do not lvl gem) + WED + Faster attacks + Life leech (4L) + Multistrike (5L // sometimes I played with Blood magic gem to make lvling faster) + Increased AOE
And the rest is the same like on my gear DPS:

with concentrated effect: [  with added lightning damage: (lvl 13)  with Increased area of effect:  Auras:
Spoiler
- Wrath - DPS boost,
- Anger - DPS boost, - Herald of Ice - DPS boost, - Herald of Thunder - DPS boost, - Purity of lightning (I run this because of Lightning coil), - Clarity - mana regen PROS:
Spoiler
- Funny, - old school (I wanted to do this since open beta), - High damage,... CONS:
Spoiler
- Can die from ele reflect and sometimes from stupid actions
- Gear dependent - we absolutely need Alpha's, Prism and some ele sword, - maybe some more, but I'm enjoying it, so I don't care for now I will be glad if you'll find mistakes in this build or give me advices. It's the first build I made that is actually working. :-) Author note: I'm back again! Tried to run some maps - Ele reflect, no life regen... no problem so far, just to be careful on ele reflect _________________________________________ Little bonus for you, my friends: my band (LP coming soon!) www.bandzone.cz/Undertheskin Last edited by pajingtonn#4403 on Dec 2, 2014, 4:13:45 AM

Technically you're only using 4 auras, but I'll let that slide since I like what you've done :P
Very nice! That's some solid dps at level 82, and I actually don't know of any other single wield elemental Cleave builds on the forum right now. There's my Dual Dreamfeather and VictorDoom's Dual Hyaon's Fury, but that's about it for ele Cleave. I'll be adding a link to this on my build page. Anyway, if you have enough mana regen to support it, be sure to grab those 5% Attack Speed nodes to the left of Coordination. Or you could go for Amplify and continue on to the four elemental nodes beyond it. It's too bad Unnatural Calm is so far away, but you could take more life or block chance nodes (like Sanctuary) if you worry about survivability. How do you feel about Concentrated Effect? It gives me considerable dps (over 44k) but the range of Cleave becomes so small it's painful. I generally prefer Increased Area of Effect or Added Lightning Damage, although you'll be better off than me in the range department once you get Amplify on the tree. What's your reserved and unreserved life with active Clarity and HoT?

" Hello there! I had some survivability issues before Prism (had to use dex on belt (perandus), instead of more hp, but I'm okey with it now) I will check precise values of reserved life at home but HoT takes 6% reserved Life and clarity about 50 HP(I have 4k HP for now). My next step in tree will be to take some Life nodes. When I'll have 20 lvl on Reduced mana (all three gems), I'll try to run aura combo - Haste, Anger, Wrath, Herald of Ice, Clarity on MANA and Herald of thunder+Purity of lightning on LIFE current reserved mana/life status: - 25% Anger, Wrath, 17% PoL, 11% HoI, 6% HoT, 50+- points Clarity. But my gear is not ideal, I'll take update in future Gems: Conc effect - it really increases my dmg, but I'm worrying a little about range of my attacks. So I'm leveling Q added lightning dmg with extra chance to shock and bulk of dmg and Increased area offect to. (I will check stats with these gems at home) Everything with my build is in progress, I'm trying to find optimized way. This is the first official build I've ever made :-) P.S. By the way, you have very nice build too :-) Last edited by pajingtonn#4403 on Oct 31, 2014, 3:56:50 AM

" I was about to use Reave (but I did not have Q gem for it and currency to buy one) so I decided to use Cleave (which I had in stash). And basically I prefer Cleave over Reave (but that could be only my opinion). |

Oh, another thing: if you start using quality Added Lightning Damage, you might try Conductivity instead of Elemental Weakness, and Herald of Thunder + Reduced Mana + Curse on Hit + Conductivity would be awesome if you could make room for it in a 4L.
" Why thank you! Dreamfeather Elemental Cleave Ranger: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1087616

" I thought about conductivity too. Check DPS pics in DPS section. I added two pics. Exactly the same combo as you said :-) |
