Thats very impressive and definetely inspiring.Would love some imput on your gear/build.Howver u did make a seperate thread and u wrote "This is by no mean to brag. Just showcasing scrubcore glasscannon that enable you to do 194k dps at level 66. Enjoy!" which is somewhat insulting for us who r using a flicker build,and i dont understand the purpose of u actually playing the build if u find it to be a "scrubcore glass cannon".

Insulting? Wasnt my intention. At the current state of this game, flicker combined with lightning fast attack speed isnt viable for fullteam play and hardcore. The desync kills it.

With this said. Flicker will and always be my favorite skill.

Well in that case sorry for misinterpreting.And congratulations for having the highest melee DPS i have ever seen,and even on lv66.Share your gear with us if u want

Yeah I think you mistook his comments Poutos. He made the character to have only 2300ES, so if he is insulting anyone it is himself. Awesome DPS man.

Also, coloring my chest is becoming a nightmare. I have this now and don't want to change it, gonna try to trade it for one with at least 1 green. If reave is blue, this could be perfect though. Guess I'll hold out until after the patch.

Hah never seen that before. Nice

Hello,

I would love some feedback on a potential variant of this build:

Hp-based/Vaal Pact Flicker Claw.


First, everyone's reaction is going to be "HP-based Vaal Pact is the worst idea ever". I currently run a lvl 81 Hp-based Vaal Pact Incinerate Witch tank, and it is pure awesomeness - it works great. Once your dps and leech are high enough, all you have to do is have enough mitigation to avoid being one-shot.

So, why change this up to Hp-based and with a claw? Well, I play on anarchy, thus I need to either use the build mentioned way earlier for IR/US or go HP-based. The IR/US gives up a significant amount of DPS, so I'd like to go HP-based if I can. And I just found a sweet claw that I want to build around, so that's the reason for the claw choice. Wtih that in mind, potential tree follows:



It doesn't have as much crit as the OP build here, but that's due to the claw choice. I spend about the same amount of nodes on HP as the OP does on ES, and I go EB for unlimited mana, which will let me run Arctic Armour to help with physical dmg mitigation as well as 6L-anything and no mana-throttled dps.

Ondar's Guile costs 3 nodes, and is s no-brainer for any Evasion based build.

If there is a reason why HP-based Vaal's Pact won't work for this build specifically (to be honest, my witch runs a hybrid armour/es build and the armor % nodes she has helps a lot with granite flasks and damage mitigation, so I am a tad worried about running Eva/ES and not getting one shot since I have no armour % nodes to increase the granite flask effectiveness), please chime in. Otherwise, if there are tree modifications to enhance my potential build, please let me know - I'm sitting on 30 passive pits I need to start spending!

Cheers,

Tref

I don't have quite as high DPS as you do, 178k to be exact and I've got a different experience. Desync isn't my main concern at all. Maybe it depends on the latency or the fps of the player but I only desync maybe once or twice and it lasts a few seconds and I rarely die because of it. And I'm around 10-11 APS.

But in my experience it certainly is viable in full parties, you're basically carrying the whole party and they don't even have to kill if they choose not to. In my mind what could make it seem unviable is that you sometimes flicker out of let's say xp or item drop range of others but that doesn't make it unviable just inconvenient but I think you meant that desync makes it unviable.

As for hardcore I totally agree but in my mind hardcore league is a different game for different folk with different interests anyway.
