Double Doryani Project log - now 200k DpS ;)

I'm testing around for a new build for the next league.

Planned build
(I'd prefer to take the Dual Block nodes "Blade Barrier" instead of "Galvanic Hammer", but I'll most likely need the Int to equip sceptres)

Bandits: Kill/Attackspeed/Kill

Planned Gear: Double Doryanis Sceptre, Atziri fire belt, fill up with usual stuff like


Main attack:
Infernal Blow/Molten Strike
+WED
+Melee Physical
+Multistrike
+Crit Damage
+Added fire

Herald of Ash
+Increased Burning
+Reduced Mana
+Elemental Proliferation (in a Doryani)

And since I'm not too keen on sacrificing damage gems for the BM gem, I'll run a high enough Clarity aura for Mana support.

---

Act 1 and 2 Normal:

With these 4 items, I could have probably beaten the content naked... ;)

Babamm, that damage!

Added some stuff that dropped along the way, also recipe-crafted two sets of secptres:

(no chestpiece, nothing interesting dropped, so I rather walk around like a real barbarian and have no limited movespeed)

Current tree (27)

Stats:


I need mana pots to sustain my 3L Infernal Blow atm, I hope this will change soon. ;)

Piety Cruel down.

Level 49 tree

I figured that I actually have enough AS in my tree, so Cruel Kraytin also had to die, together with his rival friends.
I need way more life nodes, so the next 6-7 levels will just be life, before I go for the next crit clusters.
"Galvanic Hammer" was taken already because I needed the Intelligence along the way.


I wear 3 Dragons mainly because of the resists, but it also helps in terms of DpS to have fire damage shock. If anyone is wondering: HoA still does burning damage, as it doesn't do fire damage.
Found this 6S/5L in a strongbox in A3 Normal or A1 Cruel, it has horribly low armor, but will have to do till I can replace it at Level 58.
I'm using BM gems and Anger aura because it's a little complicated with mana atm, lets see when I can drop them. Anger is pretty useless, it's only 500 DpS.

Swapping a lot between IB and MS, still not sure which one I like more.
IB has a weak Melee Splash attached to it and the corpse explosions look funny, but MS's explosions are not that great when one doesn't build for them.
Well, one of the two it has to be, if I really wand AoF.

Piety Merciless down.

Level 68 tree


I've dropped crit for RT for the moment, as my levelling weapons all didn't have any crit, and it costs too many skillpoints before Lvl 80. Needed life points desperatly.

I've specced into Avatar of Fire before I could even equip a Fire leech item and played with potions/health regen instead. Monsters don't hurt too much, so this was ok.

Now I'm finally 68, first Doryani item. Hooray!
Some parts of my gear are horribly bad, but I got no useful replacements in my Rampage stash, in a couple days, I'll probably find some in Standard.



Stats with Herald+Clarity:


7 more levels for the Doryani Sceptres! Go go go!

With Standard/Rampage merging, I used a Dual Claw Crit Marauder, respecced ~15 points to make him Crit Dual Doryani.

88 tree with AoF (in the version without, I just removed AoF and grabbed a 5% health node)

I have no idea how one could play with Abyssus, this build is as paper thin glass cannon as it can get, even with 48% block and against non reflect mobs, my health jumps like crazy.
Without Abyssus, it's kinda ok, but I experienced a lot of near deaths in the couple of 73-75 maps I tested this in.

Gear I used (more or less randomly assembled from my treasures to get max resist, some crit, some life):


Tooltip for Molten Strike /Infernal Blow:

With Avatar of fire, Herald of Ash, Clarity:

I'd need to use other gear for this, can't spam my main attack, would need more mana regen, maybe even take the Duelist/Ranger mana nodes.

Without Avatar of fire, but Hatred (and HoA):

This version can use physical mana leech and therfor spam the main attack.
It is also more DpS.

Unfortunatly the only reason to grab Avatar of Fire (apart from the style argument to do only fire damage) is that Weapon elemental damage now applies to 100% of damage. That's pretty cool, but...

I loose Hatred and physical leech for this, which makes it not worth it.
Not at all.
What a shame.

More dicking around.

As the main AoE is Herald of Ash, one can actually use Dual Strike without Splash and still maintain fast clearing.

Also found a way to use Maligaro's and Abyssus with my rest-items (need to take one 30 Int node and the accuracy/crit cluster).



Swapping WED -> Splash (in gloves): 130k DpS



Tree

Oops, wrong marauder.
Tree

Video:
My Computer is horrible at recording.
And this build is horrible with those items. ;)
(you don't wanna play Abyssus + not too much protection/life in high level maps)

It's ok up to 75 maps, but then you gotta at least drop Abyssus, if not add additional defenses like Lightning Coil/Acrobatics/more block.
Or swap your lazy ass CWDT setup for selfcast EC-IC.

Edit:
Here's a video with some gameplay of a pack size/cold damage plateau map.
Clearspeed is not amazing, but that's because it is true melee. Gotta walk up close to them.
Single target vs Splash doesn't make that much of a difference.
Click me
The damage I take is mostly from chaos farting zombies.

Just a last update before 1.3 hits. Scroll to the right to see my sexy looks. Finally purchased skin transfers to get rid of ugly abyssus and lightning coil. ;)





Managed to equip LC and Abyssus and still have max resists.
Costs me the maligaro gloves (but those rare ones with 400acc are also not too shabby) and 3 skillpoints for lightning resist (Sentinel at Scion).

Tree

I also removed all dualwield block nodes for the mace damage/life nodes.

First draft for the 1.3 tree:

Made a new 110 point tree with...

162% life
126% armor
24% elemental resists, 20% chaos resist
7% block

400% crit chance
55% multi
417% damage (+20% main hand)
25% elemental damage
43% attackspeed (+20% offhand)
103% accuracy
Culling strike against stunned monsters

...if I didn't miscalculate, offline skilltree planner makes it annoying to count all numbers.

Don't know how to share the tree, so here's a screenshot:


This will drop me to 40% crit chance, I think. So I will drop serious DpS, but I think it will be fine.

nice.

Another approach:

500% crit chance and 156% life this time.
