Block incin and stuff *Discontinued due to Incinerate nerfs*

Goddamn.

At least cybil's is not dead

I made a pretty solid build with blade vortex and cybils but yeah, I think this kind of tank builds that can also do decent damage at range are most likely officially dead, at least until Ascendancy

Sad to see the death of a tanky Incinerate build.

Having had time to try out the Incinerate changes in my own build, I'm coming to the opinion that 2.1 Incinerate is a fine spell with several uses despite the triple whammy of reducing Incinerate base damage, reducing the stage ramping, and outlawing Spell Echo with the new Controlled Destruction alternative thrown in as a lesser alternative (a reduction to 54% of 2.0 damage to start with...), but there's no doubt that it substantially reduced the number of currently viable builds, and especially those relying on the high number of casts per second for Cybil's Paw use/abuse were hit hard.

It'll be interesting to see which new builds people come up with; Unfortunately, it seems likely that we'll be seeing primarily new high-damage Incinerate builds rather than tanky builds because the possibilities for going crazy with chaos-Incinerate are greater than ever.

So thanks for the effort you put in this build: It has been a pleasure to watch this build in the forum and I wish you luck with your new build. :)

I modified the build a little bit to get it to work with ball lightning. I made a video on a map with 50% more monster life. The only thing I could think to make the build work was to drop a little block and rely on Rumi's a little more.

I think my ball lightning gets up to 7.8k dps with charges and stuff. With more shock duration jewels I think it can work pretty well.

Here are my passives.

I think you might be able to do less damage and get more life still. I am not sure. This was my first or second map trying ball lightning so I wasn't really used to the skill.

nerf all you want GGG, quiting anyway....lol

Try it out with bladefall. bladefall + added fire + spell echo + faster casting + concentrated effect + life leach. Same colors. Hatred + herald of ash + arctic for auras. Rest - same as in incinerate build. Less dmg as 2.0 inci, but roughly same survivability.
Take oak on cruel and tree like this



Need to lvl bladefall gem to check it out. with lvl 8 i get 10k tooltip dps. (other gems lvl 19-20)

I'm trying to understand how this build could be converted with minimum changes.. but seems there isn't a definitive suggestion to do that, I'm right?

This is my stuff

Well... the "build" word above is a linking button... so that's your suggestion. If you cannot see it for some reason (maybe some weird add-blocker for browser) it links here:

UPD
With lvl 16 Bladefall tooltip shows 23k. 4 casts per second and 5 waves. Against grouped mobs - logh is the same as it was with inci. Against single target it's not that great as inci, but we still have our cwdt setup. Energy shield stays maxed even vs 1 target. With 73\75 block, atziri's step boots, lightning coil and MoM\EB - it's still pretty good. Only problem will be high degen effects and areas - we'll have to use flasks a bot more often, meh ^_^
And with bladefall we have range advantage.

Can you made another thread for your build version ? No matter how similar to the original one it is, it is still new one so I don't think you should post here anything else apart from "I have new idea for reviving this, check my build here: link"
