Official Blender Post! Lets theory craft for 1.2! 123k Cleave DPS!
|
I'm gonna feel like a tool for mentioning this, since I told you in stream that Concentrated Effect would be a bad gem to use because it was an Int gem, and thus hard to level. But... I suggest using it.
Now.. this may not be for everyone, since it does drastically reduce the range on cyclone. However replacing Weapon Elemental Damage with a level 16 Conc Effect took my DPS from 6.2k to 8.2k dps. If I could get a Soul Taker (even a new one), I could replace Blood Magic, and take my dps to over 10k. 6k to 10k. This is a HUGE damage bonus, but the problem still exists -- how to level this thing? Good thing is... you only need 4 skill points to gain 90 int with the current build. Giving you a total of 100 bonus Int, which covers the vast majority of the max Int of 108 needed to level this gem to 20. You will not find a better place for 4 skill points to increase damage. Looking at your current tree, I see 4, 10% physical damage nodes in the Ranger + Duelist tree you could drop to get the 90 int nodes. -------------------- Like I said above, this is just a suggestion for those who want to push their dps. I don't think it should be suggested as the primary build, but just an alternative. Below is the changed skill tree. Last edited by artarion#1219 on Oct 28, 2013, 10:52:51 AM

Anyone suggest an upgrade order for me? I'm thinking trinkets first then moving on to the other armour pieces. Also, how much do BoRs sell for these days?

With this new build, we don't have Unwavering Stance (Can't evade but can't be stunned).
But he have a nice combo with cast on damage taken + enduring cry, so always 3 endurance charge. When i take a stun in my face or frozen, sometimes I die, cause i don't have an amazing armor. What do u think about use cast when stunned + immortal call, to convert 3 endurance charge into 2 secs physical imminuty when we are stunned? Last edited by Evelyus#3421 on Oct 28, 2013, 10:55:06 AM

" It is rare that you will be stunned from physical damage, unless you fail to dodge a charging rhoa. Most times you are stunned is due to a large, unblockable elemental hit. IGN: FVX

" I got mine for just over 7 exalts. You may find it cheaper some places, but that is a pretty good starting point. " If you have BoR helmet, you would not want Unwavering stance because it negates the 75% miss chance provided by Blind. If you're high enough level, you should have a 30% chance to avoid being stunned from the ranger tree. However my question is, are you using Cast on Damage Taken + Decoy totem? That alone should prevent you from being stun-locked. Immortal Call isn't a wrong answer if Decoy Totem isn't working for you, as it tends to be crushed at lower levels. However you're losing 12% physical damage reduction, and 12% all resists if you link it with Immortal Call, thus causing you to be more likely to be stunned (once Immortal Call wears off). Being stunned could be a result of low health. Being stunned is a result of an attack doing more than X% of your total life after mitigation. If monsters are taking 20% of your life off in one hit, there is a good chance you will be stunned. There are lots of health nodes you be picked up if you follow the suggested path, along with lots of block chance. Someone posted earlier in the thread about a build that does not use BoR, and thus uses Unwavering stance. However it simply sounds like increasing health/mitigation would be your biggest/easiest route to take. In early levels I always priorities health. |

" I buyed my 4L BOR for 4 ex, it was less than 30 mins after the update ... maybe somebody who think blender was dead ;). So, yes i've a BoR, and when I die it's often with magical damage, but it was a general proposal, not specially for my character. And I follow the official build, so i've actually 3.6K HP at lvl 80. |

How bad of an idea would it be to do more of a hybid with this build? I have some really good ele dmg w/ weapon gear I was wanting to utilize. Was planning on keeping a majority of phys dmg nodes, but grabbing some WED as well.
