would this build be good for farming atziri you think?

It's definitely doable (did it on my character) but the Ballistae may have trouble with one shotting themselves in Atziri's reflect phase. Other builds would be better if you want an Atziri farming build, this build is more for high level maps.

For icrease dexterity i think also Brawn Crisom Jwel is an option, it gives a bit less dexterity but we gani some hp from strenth and inteligence decreses just a small amount

If you can spare a jewel socket for it yeah.

Changed my a gear a little, I'm using Lioneye's Vision now for the 7L.



Also updated stat screenshots to reflect this.

1x Rain of Splinters jewel

Changed my tree on my Lvl 95 character very slightly at the Shadow start

Respecced out of Coldhearted Calculation, the 20% crit chance node and the small evasion and energy shield node and specced into the Entropy route to reach Fangs of the Viper and connect the rest of my tree.

It's still fine to follow the old tree (especially since the DoT nodes would be pretty much useless before you get 4 points in the ascendancy class), just respec 3 points to connect the tree through the Entropy route later on.

Changed thread title to be a bit more clearer what this build is.

Does maim, temp chain and chill slow stack?

I am thinking of using azinoth gloves so my ballistas apply temp chains automaticly. The slow should be like 30%+20%+30% so 80% or the calculation is different?

Thanks for your input.

They do stack but speed reductions are multiplicative (I'm not completely sure if there's any formula but at the very least I'm completely sure it's not calculated additive like you think) so the value that you will reach is actually lower than your calculation here.

So using your numbers, it would be 0.7*0.8*0.7 = 0.392 = 39.2% speed after reductions which is much lower than your assumed speed reduction to 20%.

Added T14 Palace Map run

Is it worth to take the poison cluster especially the 10% chance to poison to have 75% chance after bleeding?

Also why not take phase acro? I see a lot of ppl skipping it but i have no idea why. 10% dodge + 30% spell dodge for 4 points is like no brainer?

I am considering to drop hatred and run grace instead. This build have so much % inc evasion because of high dex so flat evasion could be rly good.
I dont think i need more dmg anyway mobs are dying instantly so the dots doesnt do shit and bosses cannot be frozen with this cold dmg anyway.
