[2.0] Terror's "Shatter Chuck Lite" Variant •• Barrage CoC •• 280k+ DPS •• Atziri w/ 5-Link

Thats odd. I dual-wanded Glacial Cascade when I leveled the character and did just fine. GC, Added Lightning, Added Cold, Echo I think were the links. You could always grab a Flame Totem since it still carries just about any build.

Yeah it seems i was just being an idiot as usual and after i stacked it with Added lightning and added cold with faster casting, i started coasting through. Now running CoC in my tabula with barrage + arc + freezing pulse for aoe, fireball+arctic breath for ST.

What auras do you run in 2.0? The guide still says to link Purities with Reduced mana, but that doesn't work anymore right?

Sorry, gems are the next section I'm updating. You are correct; Reduced Mana does not work with Auras [mana reservation] any more.

I am running Purity of Fire, Arctic Armor, Herald of Ice, and Herald of Thunder.

Alright, good to know I'm on the right track then. I'm running HoI and HoT at lvl 54ish, about to down Cruel Malachai. Damage is good, though crit chance could be higher (it's running around 65% mainhand, not sure if it should be higher or lower, this is my first CoC build.) and I'm starting to spec into life nodes before i move to the top of the tree for the rest of the power charge and crit nodes.

Another question, How do you keep your mana up without a mana flask? The passive tree doesn't have any mana leech, and your gear doesn't seem to either.

Of HoT/HoI, which do you think is more valuable? I'm going to be running this build with a friend, so I'm going Purity of Fire, Anger, and one Herald, but can't decide which to run.

Additionally, how do you get away without running Life Leech? Just good use of health flasks, or do you run Doryani's/Crafted Wand elemental leech?

Eldritch Battery + ES on Hit Jewels takes care of our "Mana" problem.

Herald of Ice is more important currently because HoT doesn't reliably shock any more. It was more important to me to have relatively consistent Endurance Charges (HoI + CoH + WM) than to sometimes have HoT cursing targets. It depends on your spell selection too. Obviously, if you are using Arc or something, HoT will be going off like crazy. If you don't have a cold spell, HoI isn't going to do much for you.

Passive skill tree build


Gear:



Running CI, 6.5k es. 88% to hit and 55% Crit chance without power charges currently.

Switches to FS/EK/Bar/GC taking out KB/Chain/GMP/Ice Spear vs single targets.

The problem now is the cursing part which is not stable to gain power charges.

Suggestions?

/e Ignore the fast cast, its reuse gear and will remove craft soon...

Well, that's kind of the thing. You pick either Voll's Protector or Power Charge on Crit. Curses, as you said, are not reliable enough to maintain Power Charges. Looks like you need to squeeze PCoC in somewhere.

Edit: Your gear isn't visible btw.

Yoo Mate,

first of all nice build and thanks for your update during the last days.

Could you please put up a section for jewels? Or just state the ones you would go for?
atm i am playing wirth some ES gained for each mob hit and max life. Anything else worth going for?

thank you.
