[2.4] Tank with up to 2.1 Milions DPS !!! One issue : CWS !!!

Hello,

i posted few elements on this forum but this build is the most original concept.

It's a build based on the gem Cast When Stunned (CWS) without any active skill and without any cheated loop mechanism in order to self proc your CWS.

Thus, with this build you need to take at least one hit from enemy in order to deal damages !

Pro


Con


"You are like a Tibetan monk, if nobody attack you, you are quite calm but you can be a good fighter if necessary."

Well apprentice monk, let's see the plan of your training in order to become a complete Tibetan monk.

1. Learn what resistance mean


50% reduced chaos damage over time is given by a selft craft body armor :


Physical damages are mitigated with Endurance charges + AA or determination + Molten shell lev 20 + some AR in the stuff and in the build.

Elemental damages are mitigated with 75 all res.

If you need a better defense and freeze the enemies, you can use the Herald of Ice instead of AA.

2. How be stun



3. Learn the dragon power


4. My stuff


5. My tree
Lev 92


Videos




I will add other videos if people are interested by this build.

7. Question


This build involves a new gameplay and a new strategy of build and i conceed that i reveal only few elements considering the time that i spent to optimize this build. Don't hesitate to let some question if you want more informations.

I do not understand one thing..how do you deal with stuns ?

/joke


On a serious note...your build has no chaos mitigation at all ....that snake was raping you in the video ?

why not just portal out and refill flasks ?

Most of the chaos damages are made with degen like caustic arrow, desacrate, poison... Then i try a new way to mitigate the chaos damage with the Essence of delirium and the mod :
Body Armour: 50% reduced Chaos Damage taken over time

With practice, i think that it's a good defense but you right the flat chaos dmg dealt by this Snake hurt me even because i've only 20% chaos resist.

Anyway, i can block the damage of this Snake but it's always the hardest part of this fight for me.

Triggering spells doesn't activate Mastermind of Discord according to wiki. http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Mastermind_of_Discord
But you can still use Enduring Cry + selfcast Discharge. It will give you pen for all 3 elements.

And you may save 1 skillpoint with this. (changes in Purity of Flesh area) It's -10 dex, but if you need dex, you can take +30 for this skillpoint.

Btw build looks really good. How often do you die in red maps?

God damnit, I might have to level another character this league.

However I have a slightly different variation in mind.

Do it as Berseker, grab Cloaked in Savagery and Vaal Pact.

For the block i'd go with advancing fortress, thousand teeth temu, the anvil and then crown of the pale king to get life on block, which i think should be way better than cybils.

If you get hit hard, you'll leech 100% of dmg as life with vaal pact. if you get hit a lot of times in a short span, crown of the pale king should take care of it.

Basically you should be immortal as long as you don't get one shot.

Thoughts?

berzk is a good idea, which item setup will be then

Thx for your advices.

I will change my tree and adapt my build considering the Mastermind of Discordance info.

Considering your option with Thousand Teeth Temu, i don't like it because i'm looking for the less EVA possible in order to proc CWS.

I apologize for my video but i had lot of lags when i recorded and i was nearly death few times, most of the time because i failed to proc Fortify.

Usually, i run plenty of maps lev T13-T15 without death.

If you want good life recovery, better look at necromancer.
Bone offering really sick. at 21 lvl it gives 35block/35spellblock/700(with anvil) instant hp recovery on block for 7 sec (with 5 corpses from desecrate). With this you need only 3 reckless defence and no block from tree at all. Well, if you ok with casts 2 spells every 7 sec, of course.

Crown of the pale king really bad. Recover 30-50 hp when hit by melee mob is pretty meh. With Cybil's paw even firestorm recover 20*8=160 hp for us. And ball lightning another ~8*5=40. And other spells, yeah. 2-10 more recovery in packs.

Vaal pact. Well, you will hate traps in lab, desecrated ground and poison.
In you tree you need +1 jewel socket for 5th reckless defence (if you care about spell block of course).
I think with berserker better go to scold's bridle, zerphy's flask and CWDT. (I did and it rocks.)
But your idea still good and will work, i think.



"[2.4] Tank with up to 2.5 Milions DPS !!! One issue : CWS !!!"
Man, yesterday it was 1.3 millions. What I missed?

Concerning the DPS, they are lot of possible setup.

Most of the time, i play with Enfeeble and with the boots Immune bleeding.

If you want reach 2.5 Mdps, you should play Elemental Weakness instead of Enfeeble and the blood dance.

In my calculator, i made a mistake in the using of Mastermind of discord. Thus, i will play a new setup, probably without Magma Orb.

Yup, I thought of that too and already played with it myself, but if you get chunked hard, it does little.

I disagree. I also don't know how you arrived at 50hp. You have to factor in the reflect from all the uniques we have, not JUST the pale king itself.

thousand teeth temu: Reflects 1 to 1000 Physical Damage to Attackers on Block, avg = (1+1000)/2 = 500.5
the anvil: Reflects 240 to 300 Physical Damage to Attackers on Block, avg = 270
pale king: Reflects 100 to 150 Physical Damage to Melee Attackers, avg = 125
advancing fortress: Reflects (71-90) Physical Damage to Melee Attackers, avg = 50.5

500.5+270+125+50.5=946 avg reflected dmg

946*0.3=283 life gain per block on average.

This only needs to mitigate hits that don't chunk you for 15% of your HP, which assuming 7k HP would be roughly 1k. Assuming 75% block that's three blocks per hit making it 894 life gain vs. <1k dmg. Basically it almost fully mitigates it.

For hits over 15% of HP you'll be instantly at full HP again due to cloaked in savagery+VP. And yes, i've played cloaked in savagery+VP too, it works fine.

Also don't forget the 40% MORE dmg. That's why I think berserker is probably the best option for a build like this.

So it's: easier to reach block cap and 644 life gain on block, vs 100% dmg leeched as life, 40% MORE damage and 283 life gain on block. Necro is a wasted ascendancy, you don't get enough out of it.

Yup traps can be annoying, but I'm not sure you'd want to farm lab with this anyways... Desecrated and posion isn't an issue, we leech, a lot. True on the jewel.
