So you saying you like the build? :)


Nah, hate it with a passion... :P

LOL, this build has me always wanting to log back on and play more. Hmmm, Chores or PoE? Can I squeeze in a few more minutes before work?
Good thing the kids are grown and moved out, or they might have to learn to cook their own dinners... :D

Honestly, intellectually understanding the concept behind the "Cast when" buffs, and seeing it in action are two radically different things. The 'BOOM' and fireworks show just makes for a 'special' feeling, that and facetanking Brutus in Cruel and never feeling at risk.

I hit 83 with this build in less than 2 weeks. Amazing, haven't found a map mod I can't do. A bit of difficulty with no regen+phys reflect tho.

Spoiler


I want to use the 300% crit multiplier, turn it into CI, and make a flickerstrike build cause I freakin loveeee flickerstrike. Time to theorycraft!

Well, no regen is a no no for many builds.
You are having a bit of difficulty with no regen and phys reflect.
I have done maps like that, they are not really a problem.
Its get easier with better gear.

Flicker strike... Well, that thing is just to bad for the eyes, I doubt I'll make a build like that heh.

What are your thoughts on sacrificing some armor from the chest and going 6L voll's protector so the PCoC can be switched out for either crit chance or multi?
8/8 anarchy/onslaught
8/8 domination/nemesis
40/40 breach/talisman/harbinger/Abyss

Many of the Gems I am currently equipping I am just carrying around to level until I get the "Cast when Damage Taken's" and the gear to slot them in.


That will do just fine.
Use PCOC when you have enough base crit to maintain the charges.
It wont help if you cant keep the charges up.




I doubt you have an exact answer, and the answer is probably "test it out and see", but do you have a rough guestimate of how much base crit is needed to maintain the Power Charges?

Forget about it. Low armour means death from reflect.
Besides what exactly is the benefit from volls armour?
The build is already capable to maintain is charges.

Its a bad idea.

Around 25% should be enough. At 0.56 cast speed (which is my cast speed) you can attack 4 times in 2.24 seconds.
In theory you should get 1 crit. With each power charge you will get 2.5% crit chance, so that will be 27.5% with 1 charge, 30% with 2 and so on.

Simple math.

Dagger weapon.

Frenzy + PCOC + life leech + more melee + 5L + 6L

264% ES + 12% more ES, 32 res, a shit load of crit, 860% crit with 6 power charges, 6 frenzy charges (with bandit quest), 130% multiplier (345% multiplier on defense tab), ghost reaver, 130.8% physical damage.

You ll probably need to go with some armour/es items and maybe drop some DPS to get 2 x 60% auras, determination + hatred/haste, clarity.
You need to balance your armour and damage output vs reflect.
Of course cast when dmg taken + IM + enduring cry. We need to wait how they gonna nerf this combo, they said they will.


I think this might be my next guide :).

EDIT
I made this build in like 2 mins, do not follow it, its not verified :).
Help me to collect the gear and I'll make a good build out of it.

Not sure if I should:
Lvl 1 arctic armour
EK>lifeleech>Power Charge>Faster Cast>Fire Dmg> "20% Faster Projectiles"

OR

Lvl 13 arctic armour
EK>lifeleech>Power Charge>Faster Cast>Fire Dmg> "Manaleech"



Which gem would give me the most increase in dps at 20%? Faster cast? Added Fire?
