[2.1 Updated] Nurbel´s Righteous Will Spellcaster (130k+ DPS, 6k+ Life, 16k+ Armor)[V- 3.0]

I traded 4 skill points for 3 Jewel sockets, the result is +7k DPS.

Updated Jewel section

these can be insane....

They certainly can.

As noted previously, while the four that cost one skill point each are no-brainers, the three that cost 2 skill points each (giving +30STR for the second point) are also better than two skill points devoted to damage nodes given that one has decent jewels with two useful affixes.

At end-game, your build as constituted really deserves using the full 7 jewel slots easily available to it for 1 and 2 skill points each instead of all those +10% projectile damage and +10% spelldamage nodes.

This is my Tree at the moment and i am doing fine.



Another Jewel slot would not do much because i have to Sacrifice more Life (which is kinda meh for me) or Damage. Respeccing 27% (Shadow Start) Physical Damage or 30% (Quickness, Projectile Damage) just to get at least 18% Damage or so with a really well rolled Jewel is not worth it in my Opinion. But when i roll such a Jewel, i would do it. Maybe with respeccing out of Unwavering Stance and get another Level, i would get the Jewel Slot between Scion and Duelist. I can trade then 1 Strength node between the Jewel slot from the Marauder/Templar Area. When i get my Hands an another good Jewel this is definately a good Damage Boost (which should bring me over 80k DPS)

cheers

That you are doing fine was never in question.

It is only a question of eventual optimization, and I hope I'm not bothering too much with this. I'm just chronically unable to not try to improve on things that are already great. :)

And as I can see that you've picked up two of the three two-pointer jewels I was advocating anyway, I completely understand why you, for now, prefer leaving the last two-pointer alone until you've got better jewels.

That said, it looks to me as if this four point optimization will increase both your life and damage with minimal effort:
Skill tree: Click me

It trades:

27% Physical damage
10% Projectile damage
12 Life
4% Life
6% Armour

for

Jewel
30 STR = 15 life + 6% Spell Damage (IW) + 3.75% Damage (Doon)
12% Physical Damage
5% Life
10 Armour

which should result in:

+Jewel
+3 Life
+1% Life
+10 Armour
-6% Armour

and with respect to damage
-15% Physical Damage
-10% Projectile Damage
+6% Spell Damage
+3.75% Damage
(= -15.25% damage as all your damage is affected by all the modifiers)

So unless I've made a mistake in my calculations, which is certainly possible, any Jewel with 16% or more total damage would allow an upgrade in both damage and life regardless of other stats. Worth it for four respec points? I'd say yes, but then I am a compulsive optimizer.

(Of course, were I in your position I'd probably be hoping to roll a Life%/any_relevant_damage% jewel rather than trying to maintain the exact level of damage, but... well, it is a thought experiment anyway.)

Hey Pi2r,

thanks for your advice, but its much easier.

We loose:

10 int
10% Projectile Damage

We gain, a Jewel socket

I am respeccing now, and add a Very endgame section to the Guide with my actual Tree.
I rolled another very decent Jewel, time to add it :)

cheers

Splendid! Can't believed I overlooked that option.

gotcha! :D

Added Endgame section, including my Jewels. Some of them are mediocre, but everyone should see how good they are. Running 82k+ DPS atm and breezing through everything.

The DPS is just fine, i now set my focus on getting some Defensive rolls on Jewels. I want to level a bit more, so i might respeccing some extra Damage nodes for Life and Armor too :)

*EDIT* I renamed my Build and gave it a much cooler Name :D

cheers

Just wondering, how do you handle -max res / Vulnerability and such? Maps where you can't use RF.
And what kind of changes do you make for special map mods / bosses?

Very impressive setup overall, btw, though Life could be better.

Hey man, thanks for your reply.

I have some information in the Guide about Map mods, but i go into more Detail in the future. I am currently out of High Maps atm (pre 2.0 i chained 77/78 solo and sustained it. Now my map pool is joke...)

I do Vulnerability Maps with RF. It depends on the Enemies i face in the Map. When there are a lot Leapers (Goatmen, Froggys) or the Map has the mod "cannot be stunned" i turn off RF just in case. Rhoas are no problem, because they get stunned 99% of the Time when they Charge at me.
With all Frenzy Charges up i can sustain RF through Vulnerability. (need lvl 21 purity of fire to make this safer, because Casting constantly will decrease my life pool slowly)

The stun itself is a huge defensive layer, becaue EK hits so hard. -max i do without RF obviously. Ele Weakness maps i turn off RF aswell atm, because i am missing 5% fire res then.

I am collecting more Information about Maps and Bosses before i add them to the Guide.

When i have an awesome map with Ele Reflect or Phys Reflect, i handle them with different Flask setups. For Ele reflect maps (which is quite dangerous) i use the Standart Setup. I pop Atziri Flask every Pack and let my Life Flask or Ruby Flask rolling while casting. For phys reflect i switch Atziri Flask with a good Rolled Granite, then reflect is no problem.

While leveling or in hardcore, just turn off RF to be Safe. I currently still do 50k DPS with 5/5 frenzy charges without Righteous Fire.

But in Reflect Maps, be aware of Thronflesh mobs. I didn´t face them in such a map yet, but this can be an insta rip i think. Normal reflect Rares are a joke.

Thornflesh Packs are Dangerous, but when you are not Brain afk, they are no Problem aswell. Because even with my DPS, i can tank atleast 3 Casts before i go on low Life to react. I wanted to make a Video about this, but i faced no Thornflesh pack today even in ~20 maps.

I go more into detail later this week.

I want more life, but i dont level atm. When i start leveling again i will respec Damage for the Scion wheel, which should bring me to atleast 6,5k life. The Damage is enough though

cheers

Anyone have tried intuitive leap jewel? it can be usefull
Have you tried atziri?
nice build
