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

I like using 20/20 Ice Nova with Discharge, to collect charges...if you have none it will get you some!

Yeah haven't tested ice nova, but i think ball lightning is better because of the 3 hits.
So ice nova can at maximum generate 1 pc against single target, where ball lightning can generate 3. And Single target is where discharge is bad, because the next crit strike roll for barrage suffer from discharge(not max Pcs) and thus you generate less CoC. With ball lightning you can end up with 6 Pcs between barrage strikes, even against single target. You can have 6 Pcs, because ball lightning has a 200ms delay between hits and travels slowly. With some distance to your target the balls can still travel through it in between barrage strikes.

I played this build in 1.3 and when I read that there's now the blasphemy + warlord's mark combo, I was really excited to check if this build got (or is going to get) updated for 2.1.

Reason is that I was always pissed by the fact that you pretty much have to use life leech in the 6L (or maybe even in the 5L already), limiting your damage potential.

I'm imagining to play a near-melee Discharge variant of this, having the option to run 3 spells in the 6L later on. Are there any suggestions on a good setup?

Also, if one could manage to get +1 curse somewhere, we can probably also equip blasphemy + poachers mark, adding to the potential of discharge or blasphemy + temp chains for great survivability.

Is there a good leveling build available leading up to this idea?

Is Barrage still the best CoC proccing skill, or are there superior ones now?

Blasphemy sucks ass for the same reason any curse spec sucks ass. If you get to higher level content, damn near everything under the sun is Curse Immune. To make it not Curse Immune, you spend more currency rolling. If you spend more currency rolling, that's less currency going to making your butt stronger.

There's nothing more fun in a game than having the game straight up delete your stats, right?

I will likely never suggest Blasphemy for this build unless:
1) Curse Immune is changed
2) Atziri (cuz no Curse Immune and she doesn't reflect it)
3) We are already super rich and are running Tier 15 maps or something

Barrage and Cyclone are still the best skills to proc CoC. Everyone loves KB because fireworks but the truth is, it sucks ass vs. single targets unless you can get them up against a wall (No, Frost Wall is bugged.)

If you want to run Discharge CoC, Fakener or Hybrid CoC Discharger are the way to go. GGG is apparently blind to how strong Discharge CoC is with Cyclone so enjoy it.

Noob question here: With the upcoming 2.1 changes, would you say that scion is still the best suited for the build?

What you think about Blade Vortex and Bladefall skills? Would fit to barrage coc or only cyclone coc?

Yea, Scion is still great.

Bladefall is OP and will probably be nerfed. It works great with Barrage CoC.

Hi,
Do you already have a tree for scion and is it still the best class to choose? Or are you still testing different trees?
You never reacted to my tree idea(on reddit):
Scion Tree

It is as close to the old tree as i could manage to get it. It has less disadvantages then your comparisons on reddit(don't know what classes and what trees you have compared). Do you think it is the way to go as scion or do you think a completly different tree would be better? Maybe going for dual wield or something...
The Problem with my tree is, that Witch and Shadow start does only work with more points.

About Blade Vortex i have heard it doesn't work with CoC atm, not sure if that is true...

Terrornoid is probably the only person i've ever encountered that let me in on an apex run. Me a total stranger. It was fun until i got caught in a very large dual flameblast. heh


After talking with terror and seeing his damage i knew i had some serious tweaking to do.

For to long i have neglected my critical strike multiplier but no more!

Before i was using iron reflexes and it did get me to lvl 90 and the damage reduction with 50k armor is undeniably good. Converting hits that ranged in the thousands damage range into the hundreds range allowed me to not die.

But i had to give it up, so.. 45 regrets later... I Jacked up my crit multiplier in the tree and on my gear with maligaro's and a new amulet. The damage boost has got me giggling.


I refuse to give up my GGG BBB Voll's protector since it was an item i've always wanted but i still needed a source of life leech and i wasn't going to get it from my CoC link. So i did something i never considered until recently. +1 curse keystone and blasphemy linked with warlords mark for that missing 2% life leech and enfeeble thrown in for protection. I can even fit arctic armor in there for more protection. With this new damage and a reliable source of leech i can face tank malachai when he unleashes the tentacle stargate thingy.

im running around without capped resist accept for my fire resist which i need for righteous fire.
(the rape trains steam engine is fueled by righteous fire not coal)
When i get beter jewels my res will be capped for certain but for now i think its kind of funny im running around without capped res.

@Cuchio
I'm in between specs. I actually have a phys version somewhat worked out but its hard to gear for. For the AB/FB version, I just grabbed the Snowforged cluster (cold side) and sucked up the 10% crit. I could fix it with a new jewel but I'm not investing either way until I confirm. Also, Blade Fall [and Vortex] are getting nerfed somehow (confirmed GGG is aware of how strong they are) so I'm not sure if I even want to plunge anywhere or just wait for Ascension when I REALLY have to redo things.

Short answer: Just grab the Snowforged Cluster.


@Rex
Its interesting that you don't involve more aura support being next to the two strongest clusters.
