[2.2] Yalani's Aegis Aurora Essence Drain/Abyssal Cry Build

same for me worked well between lvl 50-60 and dosent work after lvl 65+ i have all dps tree and all gemm 15+( chaos our dot poison dps in)i have the dagger too ( 58% spell dmg )& i have amulet 21% more chaos dmg , just havent got the shield but the mob dosent die around the first who's killed by essence drain, dont understand why perhaps it be fixed :x

i am gonna to persist more but it's not playable atm to OS pack if i dont cast 2 essence drain for boosting the explosion and dot for killing a pack

whith poison gem on my other chaos character based on life/es worked better ( really os our more dmg on pack 2x more dot i phink )

gonna to try later if i dont switch for a wand for more spell dmg 80-90% and use a poison gem linked in abyssal cry ) but whith this spé we cannot take a wand ( need 70-80 int )

sry for my english

When I saw this I had to test it out.

I had lot of fun exploding packs of mobs both solo and in parties.
I did it with phase Acrobatics, but took all the same chaos nodes as I didn't have the shield.

My gems were not max level so I could not test well:
But I was not able to feel a damage difference between the AC + consuming dark + Rapid Decay vs AC with poison support gem and eclipse solaris for blind or Bino for regen.


Thanks for posting, its given me some ideas for a couple melee builds im trying out with AC.

Running Eclipse is actually a nice idea for some additional tankyness.
Going for the Poison support instead of Rapid decay puts the damage down to ~116% over 2.25 seconds, which is a little bit slower but still enough to oneshot everything.

If it works on level 50, it should work on level 64 aswell, since the damage is based on the enemies max HP.
The only thing i could imagine is, that you reached a zone with some chaos resistance enemies.

Spell damage does not increase the damage of your Abyssal Cry by the way - only Chaos damage/Damage over time/Area damage does so.

You could try to link LMP on Essence Drain to hit more than 1 enemy per cast if you like.

How is this for levelling with poison to make up for no CD? Or should I just be going night's hold Flame Totem/Fire Trap?

Revamped the whole Guide!

•More Clearspeed
•Oneshots every pack and most bosses
•More Tankyness
•Facetanks pretty much everything in the game
•New Gear + Passives
•Video of a Plateau run added
•Can run every Mapmod!

Bladefall/Flametotem if you arent already tired about leveling every char with the same stuff :P
Otherwise Essence Drain + Contagion or maybe even Poison Arrow.

Added a small videodemonstration of my tankyness.

nice build

got it to 65 and put the bino to work. Doesn't quite 1 shot every pack yet, but the potential is there. Not running any jewels and my gems are at level for 65, so once I address jewels and level gems it should be a monster.

Couple questions for ya,

I'm looking at your defenses screen shot and wondering how you have that much armor. Looking at your gear and really the gear im wearing at the moment and I'm no where near 20k. I'm am still missing a couple of armor/eva clusters on the tree, and my rares need work but only at 5k currently. Is it all from passives and stacking evade? Clearly it's an important aspect of the build with the proc from aegis so I'd like to get that figured out.

Also curious why you aren't running the AC 4L in the vertex helm to take advantage of the +1 on the main dmg application.

lastly this: "AC Basedamage is 8% and my total damage increase (Chaosdamage from tree + Damage from jewels) is 288%
0,08*3,88 ~ 0,31"... im sure im missing something here but not seeing where the 3.88 came from.


thanks for the build and the work in the guide, having lots of fun blowing shit up!

My Grace Aura alone is giving me ~8500 Evasion. So yea.. its probably the missing Evasion from the tree + high level Grace.

from.

Because there is no benefit on leveling Abyssal cry. The damage is the same at all levels.

+1 Level to enlighten and Grace + Curse is probably better than +1% increased AoE, +5% Poison damage and +1% more Chaos damage on AC.

0,08*3,88 ~ 0,31"... im sure im missing something here but not seeing where the 3.88 came

100% base + 288% increased damage = 388% = 3,88

Jup, just updated it!

Hello,

one more question: how do u manage not to run out of mana? I noticed that with Grace + Blasphemy it is hard to even cast AC + EoD after few whirling blades. I thought about vaal clarity or normal clarity to obtain ~50 mana regen.

Any tips?
