[1.1.1] Evantis's Permastun Build and Stun Compedium

Just an update on how its working out with Frenzy. GREAT! I changed my tree around a bit, dropped all stun threshold nodes and dropped some res nodes because I get 6 endurance charges and each charge gives +5 to ele resistances. Not using multistrike and i dont think i will because id have to change alot of things around to make it work. Dropped determination for haste and dropped purity for hatred because I get max res after I get all my endurance charges up (takes 2 seconds into battle to gain my 6 charges as even without stun nodes im still perma stunning all reg mobs.) Got myself to 9k dps almost 10k and my frenzy gem and auras arent leveled up yet. Sitting at 90% phys dmg reduction as well without the AR or EV auras.

So do you think this is hardcore viable? With your newer tree?

Yes I believe it's an optimal HC build, with highly balanced levels of damage and survivability.

Can you share your passive tree? You use 5L or 6L?

Ive actually changed ALOT around in my tree, like alot haha. I do not use a chest piece either as Im using BOR. Ive switched from using a 1h mace to using a low roll legacy soultaker that I got stupid lucky purchasing for 31ex. Im doing 19-20k dps in full parties with frenzy running haste and hatred (I ditched purity because I am able to get max res fast and easily with my 6 endurance charges which also give me 87% Phys Dmg Reduction). Ive also tried out HS in place of frenzy just to see if it worked out better which it in a way does because i get 25k dps and i always stun everything but the knockback and my 300+IAS makes me chase the mobs around to much after knockback. In regards to my current dmg I still havent fully 20/20'd my gems yet and im getting these results. And yes even with all my changes I am still able to stun with every hit on REGULAR/RARE mobs all the way up to 74-75 maps. When I cannot stun for my endurance charges I keep enduring cry handy and or purity ready to swap in place of haste.

If you would like my tree ill gladly share it anywhere but here on the forums because I feel i have found or am on my way to finding a very popular build (if someone hasnt already done what Ive done and I am unaware). Dont want my fun to get nerfed like they did to my sporker and all the months of hard work I put into her ultimately making her 100% useless *Hears a boom* Oh look there goes a discharger.

Damn, this looks cool. Actually, way too many builds look cool. So many mechanics to build around, so little time!

AOE 1H with this build GS/GS + Stun suppport gem can permastun on mobs/rares or only HStrike + Mele Slash sir? Thank

So I figured I'd throw my two cents in on this.

First and foremost, REALLY enjoying this build. I usually play ranged/caster glass cannons and being able to jump up close and smack the crap out of things is really fun.

Playing in the Domination League and just starting out so gear is pretty trash but I have just finished Piety solo..

The piety kill wasn't nearly as clean as kole, but I figure this will work itself out as I continue to build out my character.

I'd love any tips you guys have picked up, thinking of adding the enfeeble curse on a cast on damage taken setup but not quite sure yet.


My trashy gear


and my build as of lvl 62

after playing my 87 stun mara for a while and dying to a few double bosses and still stuck on 75% exp

heres a tip for anyone levelling, if ou cannot afford bringer of rain which is now retarded in price along with everything else

get yourself a carcass jack or another life 5/6 socket armour and an abysuss helmet or alphas howl

use cyclone in your helmet and heavy strike in your chest

cyclone + melee phys + faster attacks + life on hit - this will shred through mobs very quickly because heavy strike is so slow because of the crappy knockback effect

then use heavy strike in your chest for bosses

heavy strike - melee phys - stun - endurance charge on stun - added fire damage

that way you have a gg aoe for fast clearing and a gg single target, if you use carcass jack it will synergise nicely with your cyclone

Still doing great with frenzy and EC on Stun on an unarmed marauder. I get endurance charges off of most uniques and all rares in maps and merciless act 3 lunaris and sceptre

the CoDT nurf has shot my ability to survive down to rubbish. My gear isn't great but the cast time for molten shield is ridiculous and I am having a hell of a time getting endurance charges up before I explode from the packs.

It makes me extremely sad.
