[3.0] THEORY Ele Blade Flurry. 6-13 mil VS Shaper, 6667 life

with this build u guys cant beat shaper without Shyforth. He will stun and we will have troubles. This is a Big issue for melee builds.

this helmet can be decent for this build if someone wana sacrifice damage for more es

Really considering to make this build since I absoletely in love with reave. Although my only goal would be comfortable fightning chimera and hydra since my archer can do 2 others and with some tweaking even shaper. So my question is can budget version of this build deal with chimera and hydra, or I'll have to invest much more in order to kill them consistently?

Hey mate

Shaper is unbelievably easy to predict as his attack pattern is always the same.

If you're very worried about having to dodge attacks with a 2 second build up however, you can get 36% chance to dodge from Heart of Oak and another 35% from Leo's enchant on an ES helm. That's 71% mid-boss fight and if you get chance to avoid stun on your boots, you have well over 100% chance to avoid while clearing.

Cheers

Hey mate

It's certainly a good question! Life based builds are always much cheaper than CI ones in my experience. Melee CI, especially with abyssus needs to be tanky and this is where the extra expense comes from.

Dealing damage isn't as much of a concern as complimenting that damage with enough defense to level and face guardians comfortably. I would honestly say that Chimera is harder than shaper, as shaper is so much slower and easier to predict.

Low-budget builds need to be some sort of META in order to comfortably clear the hardest end-game content. They're usually either some sort of spell caster or have decent range with their attacks. Concentrated effect-Reave means we will take almost every single attack we don't block.

All of this means that while I see it possible to clear shaper on the low budget variety of this build, that's not what it's intention is. The low budget version is meant to be the point where I started. I was there and eventually got to here though I needed to start somewhere!

I hope this provides some sort of closure on your decision!

This is a brilliant idea!

I've run over 154 labs and ive never gotten even a reave AOE enchant. I've absolutely given up on lab though your helm would pick up some of the lost dps, and provide enormous defense.

I also want to mention that I buy twice enchanted before every lab run...

Another helm would be heretic's for the massive bonus to curses. Or we can use vertex for the free +1 to enlighten and other gems!

Getting reave damage on an abyssus has been a goal of mine for a very long time. I'm very jealous!

Hey dude, cool build. What's the song in your video?

Yeah sorry, I meant the T16 hydra video, sounds like the music from watchmen soundtrack

Though really it'd be good to have the songs listed on all of them anyways :P
