[2.4] COLB (Cast On Last Breath) tanky, high dps, can use any spells you want
Quick update. Poison numbers are definitely looking very good, but you do have to scale duration to be competitive with crit and ~75% shock uptime. In my current setup, just some reshuffling and adding a Poison 6th link will more than double sustained DPS over 2s (6L where art thou???), even if it only applies to 2 skills + Void Manipulation.
Now, if you did have a geared Pathfinder with decent crits AND all the necessary Chaos/Poison/Duration nodes, your DPS could blow everything out of the water =D Next project maybe? But I really hate leveling... Edit: Oops, I forgot to account for a very important modifier - Less Damage from CWDT, which I assume applies to Poison. In that case, Poison gem will only be a ~60% more modifier for me. Last edited by soulblade7#5354 on Apr 22, 2016, 5:01:29 AM

" few thinngs: first of all with shock nova you have 20% to shock, and yo cast 4 times a sec, so probably most stuff will be shocked anyway.. secondly, did you took into consideration that if you take out poison gem, you can put in another spell there? that will increase dramaticlly the dps, dont really think crit is really needed here, look at the dps on my emberwake (work similary to poison stack), really dont need more dps than that (unless you MUST kill the T15 bosses in 2 sec) my builds: - COLB (Cast On Last Breath) first ever build: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1632595 - the Flash: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1367774 - the oro's bridle build: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1409823 Last edited by The_x_ile#7220 on Apr 22, 2016, 5:27:07 AM

" Unfortunately, shock isn't so simple. 20% gets you to the door, but you still need to deal lightning damage >5% max life (or 3.6% for q20 gem) for shock to apply. Then, the duration is only 60ms per 1% life. Even at 4/sec, without crit the uptime would be poor, especially where in my build the gem is low level. Remember that my damage comes from Added Chaos. Sure, of course I ran the numbers with different gem permutations. Emberwake/Taming is a very different beast from poison. It scales with number of stacks because of Taming, and Ignites have no minimum damage requirements. Poison doesn't care about stacks, it's just a (huge) modifier on sustained DPS. If your first hit is weak, the damage will still be lacklustre. Last edited by soulblade7#5354 on Apr 22, 2016, 11:27:39 AM

Quite cool, build been trying to myself. But struggling to get high life atm and seem to die to not popping potions enough or getting hit hard at the same time i'm dashing/jumping.. Been trying with whirlingblade and the speed is quite insane, but quite abit less control.
I was wondering if you could do this build with only Cold and fire spells and using Pyre (100% of cold spells into fire) and 2x consuming dark weapons (100% fire into chaos) problem is not having the bitterdream for extra mana cost then. So unless you'd use alot of jewels and some corrupted gloves and 4 link the whirling blades could boost it up there, then you could do reflect maps. Or perhalps if you had a legacy consuming dark + the armor with 25%, then you could use bitterdream. But just thoughts. Not sure what other ring you should be using then either, maybe the taming anyway even with no stacking ignite. You'd gain Poison aswell :p |

" I think this is viable. I considered this before going the Wither/Apep's route. Many more fevered jewels, use (corrupted) Voidbringer, and settle for lower level gems using flat damage supports. If you're going Elementalist, you still get Ignite stacks from conflux. But I didn't like the idea of Whirling Blades. Stacking on longer boss fights would be a pain imo. Give it a try and let us know! |

im in standard, so have those legacy for ~13 c.... that is great!
6 all max res is great vs reflect, and the IIQ/IIR really noticeable in the currency drops my builds:

I need some help if you guys don't mind, im playing this build with a little twist..
I'm using the harvest with cyclone for flask charges so i dont need to spec into pathfinder, works great, diamond flask is up 100% of the time, it's just that my char says it has 11.4 mana regen which we of course don't want with this build. Now i think i looked everywhere but for the love of god i cannot find where the mana regen comes from and i want to get rid of it. My character is HarvestCoLB and u can view the gear/tree/gems here: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/DruNKfuX/characters Please anyone tell me where the mana regen is coming from, i hate it lol ps: LOVE YOUR BUILD !!!!!!! <3 oh btw, pls ignore the low lvl spells and cwdt gems, i'll fix that later.. |
