[2.4] Lioneye's Avalanche - All Map Mods - 800k SingleTarget DPS

Yea, fvk that coloring gamble, I just bought my Belly already linked and colored:



But this chest isn't even that great. I get only 600 HP more (from 5.1 to 5.7), compared to Carcass Jack, which can be colored easily, provides more EVA and more damage.



In either case, this build is not really appropriate for Uber Izaro farm. Too much spike damage which can take away 80%-90% of your health with one hit. You'd need 6k+ life to be on the safe side. Merc Izaro is easy, tho.

So im trying this build and having a lot of fun with it, but the leech to me feels god awful, is there something im doing wrong? i have the ice bite, Warlords mark, HOI setup, but the leech is so minuscule it barely feels like it's doing anything with VP.

HoI only curses when you shatter an enemy. If that doesn't happen often then you don't leech enough. Personally I don't think the charges from ice bite are worth it. Blasphemy is very reliable and with high range when leveled.

Allright guys, I'll try and answer all unanswered questions.

First of all I see too much talk about controlled destruction lowering blast rain critical strike chance. This was not the case in last league, it might be a tooltip bug, if you can ask Mark in the mechanics thread that would be great.

Secondly, I see some people having issues with merciless izaro. Have 5k hp, warlord's mark-blasphemy-hatred. Have more than 2.5 attacks per second and 40% projectile speed on quiver (those quivers are 1 chaos, come on guys...). ??? Profit. Don't forget to mirror arrow sometimes to distract him and OBEY his mechanics (kill golems, use charge disruptors, kill temp chains statues etc.)

Quill rain and Lioneye's difference only shines in high end maps and better gear. That's why I adviced people here to start off with quill rain to the fresh league.

Grab a jewel with +2 mana gained on hit to solve ALL your mana problems.

For temporal chains have an onslaught flask. As you can see in the screenshots and first post, I have a silver flask ready in my belt. It really helps.

For me to be able to review your gear, you should untick private checkbox in your account privacy settings for your "characters" tab. Otherwise I cannot see your character.

Blast Rain's blasts have 80 milliseconds separation between each of them. Since cast on crit's cooldown is 50 milliseconds, yes, each rain blast means a separate chance to proc. Furthermore if a blast hits multiple enemies, than that blast rolls multiple cast on critical strikes, so the 70% proc chance becomes more like 90%+ for 3+ enemies hit.

Those are why blast rain is far superior than barrage.

I like to transition at 68+ levels into the build. You can do it as soon as 60, but I don't recommend it. If you are clearing dried lake fast with the trapper, then switch at 70 or 72 for a smooth transition.

Bow damage is not important

Answer 1: First, let me make this point, you cannot swap hatred for something more offensive, hatred scales with % increased physical damage nodes in addition to the fact that it scales off of the physical hit damage of bladefall and glacial cascade. It is insane offensively.

For defense:
1. Grace (absolutely nuts combined with our dodge)
2. Arctic Armour (well, meh, since we move a lot, but might help against physical one-shots)
3. Nothing worthy to put here

Answer 2:
Glove enchant doesn't matter, I run with decree/commandment of war
Boots: Best enchant is 0.4-0.6% of damage is leeched as life and mana if you have killed recently
Helmet: Best enchant is blast rain additional chance for a blast (allows us to cap proc at 2.7 APS).

I rolled my belly of the beast by chroming manually. Took around 650-700 chromes.

3k hp is TOO LOW mate. You won't be able to level up reliably past level 80.

In new leagues I try to reach over 4.5k hp as soon as possible (before I'm level 80). Damage is already nuts, at the worst you will experience two-shotting packs instead of one-shotting them.

Kintsugi is decent, as it provides 20% damage reduction for the first hit. However Belly of the Beast gives us 20% more hp at all times so I prefer that. Plus we leech to full instantly.

Zellman
The ice bite setup is for people who like to manage their atziri's promise flask and use the boot enchantment for life and mana leech.

My recommendation was always to use blasphemy-warlord's mark + other measures for leech.

From my point of view, increased critical damage will never be better than controlled destruction.
You already have around 500% crit multi, adding 120% crit multi (21/20 gem) to that gives
((.1 + .9*6.2)/(.1 + .9*5)) = 5.68 / 4.6 = 1.23
meaning 23% more damage.
I don't even go to the detailed calculations since controlled destruction gives 44% more spell damage. I mean having 81% crit chance instead of 90% crit chance cannot lower it below 23%, no way. Just assuming 90% bladefall crit chance was enough to reach a conclusion (remember that more crit chance in this calculation favors increased crit damage instead of controlled destruction).

However, if somehow re-wording of "controlled destruction support" has changed the fact that it also supports blast rain now, then everything will change. I think that is a tooltip bug though.

First of all, congrats on getting 32 challenges mate, you have played far more than me this league lol. That makes it seem the build is working quite nicely I suppose?

The build can reach 6k HP without much hassle as I have demonstrated in the previous league with gear farmed in 2-2.5 weeks. Only thing you need for izaro is to go into his melee, place some mirror arrow clones and sometimes blink away. With a surgeon's basalt flask, you should be pretty safe.

Thanks. The build is great! T11 & T12 are a breeze with a 5L already (im using conc. effect, mostly), a 6L would make it too easy :)

I've done a few T13 which are also not a problem, but haven't got higher. Map drops are kinda bad for me this league.

Still need to beat Uber Izaro and haven't tried Atziri yet.



The Lioneye's fall jewel is expensive, but the knocback on crit that you get from "Blunt trauma", really helps when fighting nasty melee bosses / rares. The name "Avalanche" is appropriate ;)

Unlocked my character tabs, my apologies.

Hello

Loving this build, and am level 88 at the moment. Got a few questions: my blast rain sits at 28.9% with no charges and 81.3 with 7.... should I swap out controlled destruction for arc in order to go up to 89% with 7 charges?

I hope that my profile is not private, so someone can check out my gear and tell me what to focus on upgrading

I have 7 jewels with crit chance on all of them, so kind of clueless as to how to hit 95% with CD linked... is it just that it will not happen until you get a +1 pwr charge bow?


Also, I saw someone say that you can swap out something for physical to lightning in order to mitigate reflect... tried to find it in the thread, to no avail. What gem would I exchange for phys to lightning, and what about elemental reflect? it has been somewhat problematic to me as well :s

Thanks for the help, LOVING the build!

How do u get the 95% Crit Chance buffed?

Have nearly everywhere the max possible CC on items, but still get only 75% buffed with 6 power stacks and Ice Golem.

Already catched all CC Passives (Even those with Lioneyes Gem)

And even with Maligaros (Higher CC than Shadows & Dust what I know)

Does my CC raise with higher LVL? bcs I'm LVL 75 atm (Character: Nighthawk_Zx)

Or does the 7th Power stack and and the remaining 30% @ betweeen Noxius and Toxic Ascendany make the big difference?

With CC gem I would get easy 95%...but thats not the real deal. :)

Could you look at my character and tell me why I get ripped all day in merciless?

or at least tell me what I can change?

Checked your gear, upgrade stuff slowly to +30 or more str +80 or more life + resist pieces.

First of all, use a regal orb on the leftmost jewel in your tree.
Second of all, buy a quiver with double crit chance, 80+ life and 35+ projectile speed for 1 chaos. Make sure a suffix is open and craft crit multi on that suffix.

EVERYONE READING THIS THREAD

Seriously, do this quiver purchase (that I mentioned to Schweist), I am saying this to EVERYONE. You don't even know how IMPORTANT this is. AND ITS 1 CHAOS, people put these quivers up for 1 chaos.

I mean, after I announced it like 100 times in this thread, the quivers might have been 10 chaos or so, but still, its the best upgrade ever.

donaldtroll
Before +1 power charge bow, you can reach 95% crit chance but you will hurt yourself because better investments can be made.

That is because of deadly infusion ascendancy and your bow has 8.5% base crit chance with 7 power charges and 9% base crit chance with 8. I have explained it in the thread replies, google it.

Use the blackgleam quiver to convert remaining 50% physical to fire. It even has an upgraded version now with prophecy. For physical reflect, just don't use hatred aura. If its still a problem, swap out glacial cascade for conc effect/increased aoe.

CroDanZ
Power charges (or power stacks in your words) are the most important element of this build in maximizing crit chance.

You need 8 power charges to reach 95% crit.
If you have 7 power charges its more likely to get 87-89% chance to crit.
With 6 power charges you will probably get 78-80%.

Go to your profile privacy settings. Untick make characters tab private, so I can look at your gear.
I changed some passives around in your tree, click this link for the new skill tree.
