Witch - RapterJesus | SC 0.11.0 | FARMBUILD | High DPS and IR/IQ | Dual Spark | Low Life - RF

" RenoR wrote: I wanted to make a RF build too but its a pain in the as in so many aspects, better stick to the new OP "dual sparce shockstacking witch" I am positive that the shockstacker build has even more damage potential then a RF build which has to spend so much stats/skills into defensive things just to be able to upkeep the RF. I don't think anyone would try to debate that Lightning Penetration or CI aren't awesome DPS/Survival abilities. They are. I think you may be misunderstanding the point of this build though. We aren't trying to max damage or max survival. We are trying to max IIQ and IIR while maintaining enough DPS so that zones and maps can be farmed efficiently. If you have 100/300 IIQ/IIR then I stand corrected. I have a feeling you are low on the IIR side of things with your lack of Low Life though. The build doesn't use Low Life because we want Righteous Fire. It goes Low Life so we can take advantage of the IIR boost from the Wondertrap Boots AND since we are LL anyway we might as well use RF while were at it (plus RF just looks frackin awesome). PM me or find me in game if I win. It's hard to keep track of all my bids.

Yes, the damage buff looks nice, but there are way to accomplish high damage without big disadvantages. In my new build I went the CI-Shockstacking totem build. I dont want to go into the details, but the basic idea is to maximize spelldamage/castpeed/ChanceToShock/Shock duration Shockstacking is not as easy as it seem because even if you can easily get 24% Chance to shock(curse+20%through passives) you will probably not shock hard enemies, because they are resistant. As a consequence increasing shockduration is the key in order to pass the treshhold. One of the more interesting changes I made to my build is switching FORK to PIERCE. First I was skeptical but after I tried I am sure for 100% that pierce is FAR SUPERIOR to fork. 1, your overall AOE is even better. Fork gives 9x70% while(=630%) Pierce gives 3x 100% * 3,22(966%) the factor 3,22 comes from the chance to pierce which is maximum at 69% -> 1/(1-0,69) = 3,22 2, The next reason for using pierce is the damage effectiveness. For shockstacking I want big blows instead of many minor ones Even though my pierce is only lv ~9(but 20%) I am already certain that its better then fork, try it out, you will be surprised how effective it is! Though I do not have a 5/6l yet I think Lighting Penetration Gem is absolutly MANDATORY. Normal enemies die almost immidiatly in maps, but the problems are enemies which are curse immune and have addition lighting resistance. I dream of shockstacking them :) but before I need to max damage and shock duration. My character is "only" level 77 and I see tons of potential in my passive skill tree and items. I am almost RUNNING THROUGH lv 66-68 maps and only get stopped by the mentioned curse/lighting resist enemies for a littel bit but though my gems are only lv 18 the damage feels incredible strong.(not using lighting pen yet) Another BRO-Tipp I can give you is to use shield and espacialyl ELEMENTAL RESISTANCE with shield. I see so many people tacking mindlessly ES but resistance on shield + block chance gives you SO MUCH SURVIVABILIY. This survivability frees up itemmods for you so you can stack IIQ/IIR or even more damage Currently I am extremly satisfied with my build. Its indredible effective and comfortable to play. Some key stats: lv 77 892 DPS lv 18 spark(+pierce+faster casting) room for lighting pen and IIQ/IIR/20% added lighting damage avarage resistance 42% ~4700ES with CI 37% block/20% spellblock 106% quantity(!!) Still I think I have garbage items. I wanted to make a RF build too but its a pain in the as in so many aspects, better stick to the new OP "dual sparce shockstacking witch" I am positive that the shockstacker build has even more damage potential then a RF build which has to spend so much stats/skills into defensive things just to be able to upkeep the RF. perhaps peirce does scale better in the end game but i don't know if the effectiveness is as high as you think. spark motion is random, for each spark released there is X chance to hit mobs (otherwise it flies away missing them all). with peirce you have 3x chances to hit mobs per cast, if they all peirce there is 3x more chances but eventually some will not peirce and some of the early ones could miss and never peirce a mob. with fork you start with 3x chances and if those all land you have 6x more chances to hit a mob, then with fork the chain ends. This gives fork an initial burst of damage potential, followed by nothing. with peirce you get only a certain amount of damage potential and it can only decrease as the projectile travels through mobs or off into space. this is most noticable when there is a wave/line of mobs coming towards you (1 mob deep) with no walls nearby, the sparks will fly out and through them but afterwards it just keeps going and doesn't return. with fork there is a mini-explosion of sparks going in random directions so the mobs are more likely to get hit by more sparks. also, not to get derailed too much, you say you want big hits but without RF you're missing out on that huge damage potential...

Guys, what do you think its better to farm a Shavronnes, 73iiq/300iir or 106iiq/235iir (because of my different sets of rings which allow me those combinations)? Atm I'm using the 100iiq on docks, as occultist vestmets drop not very often, and the higher iir on maps as they have a native iiq boost, and (I think) they drop more occultists. My gear is: My dps is quite low atm (only around 1.2k) but oh well.	Posted by YoTengoUnLCD#0859 on Jun 13, 2013, 12:04:07 AM Quote this Post
Either MF combo is fine. It's all RNG. I found my Shav's while screwing around with a buddy on Docks with no MF at all. Didn't even know what it was until I got back to town and identified it. PM me or find me in game if I win. It's hard to keep track of all my bids. IGN = ShatCrash	Posted by koranuso#4488 on Jun 13, 2013, 8:28:22 AM Quote this Post
Pretty sure that going for NULLIFACTION vs MIND AND MATTER is better overall. MIND and MATTER path; 8 skillpoints Starting at ELEMENTALIST node (don't think it adds much dps even if you take it, so you could save 2 more points) +20strength (10 life) +34% ES +44% ARM +8% Resist +6& Life +1% Life Regen NULLIFCATION path Starting at ASSASINATION; 7 skill points +20 crit chance +3% atk spd +3% cast spd +20 dex (you can drop a 30dex node now) +4% move spd +32% ES +10% ES cd +36% eva +8% resist Take those 2 points you've saved from NULLIFCATION path, go towards STATIC BLOWS (more dps), or for BODY AND SOUL (12% ES, 16%ARM).

I like iiq more so I would go with that especially in docks where rares suck.	Posted by cloud9xx#0913 on Jun 13, 2013, 4:28:29 PM Quote this Post

The only passives I am using specific to RF: - Life Regeneration (2 total nodes) - Inner Force (4 total nodes) For 6 nodes I am doubling my dps. Are you saying you can more than double your dps using the 6 nodes differently?	Posted by cloud9xx#0913 on Jun 13, 2013, 4:39:16 PM Quote this Post
Pretty sure those 4 nodes on Inner Force would be way better spent on more ES or damage. IF was nerfed to oblivion imo, lol.	Posted by YoTengoUnLCD#0859 on Jun 13, 2013, 4:49:45 PM Quote this Post

I did some math specific to my gear in eckalina's post if you want to see numbers.	Posted by cloud9xx#0913 on Jun 13, 2013, 5:28:39 PM Quote this Post
