Perz' Reave Shadow

Hey Perz,

thanks a lot for sharing such an amazing guide! I'm really impressed!
Played CoC ST dagger discharge before and stucked at hitting lvl 80 due to less survivability and low single dps. I decided to sell all my gear and follow up your build. What should I say, I'm lvl 80 now and was lucky to link a 6L carcass after ~35 fusings only.

All the advantages like chaos-, stun-, chill- and freez immunity make me feel stronger on my way to high lvl maps. Currently I can easy farm lvl 70maps with appr. 3,6k ES and 18k dps w/o hatred due tu mana issues.

My gear is still not the best, but I completely with ppl already said: eye of chaluya is a must have :) Conc. effect pushs your dps immense and is nice Bonus on a 6L chest.

Sorry for my bad englisch since I'm not a native speaker ;)

I was curious why you leveled up your CWDT on the ice nova - molten shell - vulnerability is it worth it? and also do I hook up IC or Aoe with CWDT & Enduring Cry?
Can anyone answer this question?

well i used enduring cry + IC on cast on stun very well, so cwdt & enduring cry & IC should work equally well, and make sure and use increased duration for longer IC.

i like the CWDT/ice nova/MS/Vuln idea.

ice nova - chills your opponents and slows them down
molten shell- armor :-)
vulnerability - a really good curse for this build. i see mobs get stunned big time if i cast vuln and go to work.


so they all make sense and should be effective. do what i do, put them on the build and run lunaris. kole will tell you if the combo works well...

you have to lvl up cwtd to use a higher lvl gems. you get so much dmg that it's worth it.

I have a shiny new 5L carcass jack and rolled these colors.

i'm afraid of trying to roll anything else because lately the RNGods have been abusing me when it comes to chroms.

RRBG
multistrike/melee on full life/concentrated effect/reave

what should i use for that last B ?

i've tried

power charge on crit
increased crit chance
increased crit damage

can't seem to figure out which is best as they all have their advantanges. right now my thinking is to use ice spear and PCoC to generate power charges and put increased crit chance in the carcass jack. the problem with that is that the charges don't last long. putting them in carcass would essentially ensure that i had PCs up all the time. advice appreciated.

meanwhile the build is coming along _very_ nicely. this was my first CI character, and i'm really happy with how it's progressing. i'm just about completely broke now due to buying gear for it, but that's ok, because it's doing so well.

and really, i have two words for you "vaal pact".

the difference between a leech build with it and without it is amazing - i had no idea just how amazing. i solo'ed kole the other day just for fun and stomped all over him even while I was debuffed with temp chains. and i think i've still got some gems that are only level 17.

thanks.


if your dmg is high enough, you could also try incr aoe. it's fun when reave hits half of the screen.

congrats on the 6l! mine took me a bit longer..
yea the immunities are unique to this build.
try to improve your raw es and mana. items with high int on them also help.

as i already mentioned, there are lots of possibilities. using ic instead of molten shell adds more survivability but doesn't look as cool anymore. ;)

LOL, of course ! that sounds like fun, i can't wait to give it a try !
My damage most definitely is not high enough, because I only have a 5L and my gems are not properly leveled and don't even have quality. But it should still be a lot of fun to try, and none of the potential replacements are going to be particularly strong.

the high attack speed of this build means that added chaos or added lightning (especially with Q) might be good to try too.

int is an underappreciated modifier.

i once replaced a shield and didn't notice that the shield i was replacing had a very high int modifier. imagine my disappointment when my ES went up much less than I expected...
thats why i decided to use a shield with int on it rather than some es.

Is it hard to get around 4k ES with Alpha's and carcass jack? And how much of a damage boost do carcass give? Granted you will likely use concentrated effect when you have carcass, so that might be the biggest damage boost.

carcass with conc effect almost doubles my dmg. it's not that hard to reach 4k es imo, it's hard to reach 5k es.

My pesonal opinion about Carcass remain the same - i think this chest provides TOO little ES for CI build. Even if you need a hybrid chest for 3+ green gems, i think you should use 500+ ES hybrid evasion+ES chest, because extra 300-500 base ES really DOES MATTER.

A little extra AoE or DPS may seem fun while farming Piety, but when you face with high-level maps, nasty map mods and overpowered bosses, your 4k ES will be merely a joke. Even 6k will be NOT enough.

Carcass is nice for life, Aegis or EB builds... But not CI.

You can't tank 74 vaal or 74/78 dom anyways, not the 1-shot smash.

so as long as you have decent dps and leech 4k or 5k es it's the same.
