[2.0] Terror's "Shatter Chuck Lite" Variant •• Barrage CoC •• 280k+ DPS •• Atziri w/ 5-Link
" I will go for unwavering stance. At the current moment I have mana issues with 5l Voll's protector in Atziri fight, that's why I'm still running tabula. And yes i will go EB once i 6linked my volls and get one ES on Hit jewel. I'm not dying in maps because of flasks. Surgeons granite is very sweet now that armor got a slight buff. after 11 runs 2.0 ain't no melee patch. Last edited by exodus820#0019 on Jul 20, 2015, 3:39:31 AM

" I usually go glass mode before my character hit lv 90 for the sake of clear speed. One of the reason i don't die to reflect is how my damage is spread out in forms. EK countered by granite, arc slightly countered by purity at the moment (and the arc doesnt hit hard against a single rare reflect mob), and cold snap countered by sapphire. Another detail on top of that is when I hit ele reflect I try to stand close to it so my EK can hit it and I won't need to tank as much amount of total damage, when I hit phys reflect I try to stand further away from it so that my EK wont hit it. 2.0 ain't no melee patch.

I notice some people are having some DPS and/or mana issues, which you shouldn't.
Here are some DPS test videos with zero mana issues. For more info check my sign.

" You're evidently using a lot of mana cost reduction gear, combined with some mana regen. I would guess you've got one or two pieces of Elreon -8 gear, possibly that's been heavily crafted, and getting a -8 diamond ring that's been well-crafted is very expensive. I see now in your sig you've got a build link (which then links to yet another post for your gear, kind of weird), and it's a well crafted -8 amulet.

" 2 exalted to pay for zero mana issues is not that much. And hardly "a lot mana cost reduction", only 1 Elreon item which everyone can craft if they farm a bit. Elreon amulet also frees skill nodes that can be used to boost life or dps. And is not well crafted. It could have a lot better affixes like accuracy or crit mult. I got life gain on kill with my regal :). IGN Riokar | My guides [2.0]Non legacy Mjölner. Uber down. -thread/1474288 [2.0]Shatter Chuck Lite COC -thread/1324981 [2.0]SRS Magic Find Culler.

" It's a pretty good idea that had escaped me until you implicitly suggested it, but even though I found an uncrafted -8 amulet in my stash and made this with it, I still don't like the EK route. My clear speed seems much lower by ditching GMP for EK (and using something like cascade instead of freezing pulse). Freezing pulse pierces and just does way more damage to a horde than EK+cascade can (cascade is extremely linear, and EK doesn't pierce), plus the GMP basically doubles your projectiles per skill use (and with quality ups your attack speed, and as long as you're not really close to a breakpoint that's a good thing). Freezing pulse also has a good damage effectiveness, good damage (at least when not too far away) and adds a lot more freezing and chills. I haven't really singled it out against bosses, but a three spell combo just doesn't seem good for general clearing purposes. So you're not entirely out of the water on mana cost yet, as the GMP clearing combo still puts you at a mana cost of 9. Makes +es on hit or +mana on hit much easier to sustain you, at least. Which skill nodes are you expecting to free up, just the 2 put into EB? Last edited by TimeDilation#5779 on Jul 20, 2015, 4:54:24 PM

guys I have tried this build for warbands and getting to lv76 was a walk in the park. Mana is NO ISSUE if you do this:
Go up the tree to EB. Take min 2 jewels. BOTH have to have the "+3 Energy Shield gained on Attack" affix. There you go, endless mana with like 100 es ;). This way I reserved almost 100% of my mana until now and its pretty close to impossible to run into mana issues if you get to your 3rd Jewel slot. This is BY FAR the best mana solving solution I have seen in this Patch. -> go try it and forget about mana :) Last edited by deduct#0725 on Jul 20, 2015, 6:53:10 PM

" I don't use GMP and I don't use EB. And I am 100% entirely out of the water on mana cost. This is my clear speed. Forget ES/mana on hit, its a waste of jewel affixes space. I tried many combos and the 3 spell combo is the fastest I used. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGpQ9xk_YL8 " You don't need EB or rare gems to handle mana. While leveling all you need are some reward jewels. No need to waste skill points. EB is not needed what so ever. For more information check my signature.

" That's just a magic 75 map, and it doesn't look that fast. As soon as you hit a non-linear pack you're having trouble clearing them. I do believe a piece of Elreon jewelry is a pretty good idea, but I remain unconvinced that a 3-spell combo can hold a candle to GMP 2-spell for clear speed. I wish the elreon amulet didn't cause me to lose all the nice crit mult and spell damage (and higher crit chance) I had on the other one, but the -8 mana is pretty nice on a quality of life level. |
