[2.2] Wurpo's quill rain + cast on crit build (aka stress test build) [not scion anymore]
|
@rependant
I do so much damage that I don't really care anymore about what's top damage numbers, the instant hitting of arc and cold snap actually add quite a bit of dps, travel time may not seem like a big deal but I do multiple hits of snap+arc before the first fireballs even hit. Rat's nest is indeed better for damage, but I feel my damage is sufficient, I just want to live now. Lastly, while fireball can do more damage overall after the bounces, fireball is the laggiest possible spell in the game and with even two people total in a group you can easily crash/disconnect. I like to group up, and if you group they don't want you using fireball. |

Hi, sorry if I am asking a noob question. Currently I do not wear a Thief Torment Ring. And I realise I do not have the capability to maintain the mana used, I can only shoot 3 lightning arrow and thats it. Will wearing a thief torment ring make a very huge different? Thank you

" Yes, yes, and yes! This ring is an absolute necessity to making this build work. You can technically live without Voll's if you drop Cold Snap for something else (and the subsequent power charges and their bonuses), but having Thief's Torment is the night and day difference you need. It's the only item in the game that provides Mana Gain on Hit, and there will be so many hits occurring that you can effectively spam endlessly between just a couple mobs, or use Barrage and refill your HP/MP on a single target. Get one! Last edited by Eninya#4548 on Jan 2, 2014, 5:54:18 AM

" There is an alternative, but it's not as good. Malachai's Simula will give you blood magic and some spell/lightning damage, then if you can get life gain on hit on other parts of your gear (as much as you can, 2 or 3 on each piece of gear possible) you can sustain it. |

" My post on the previous page explains how I use a very similar build with dual ungil gauche daggers and spectral throw since I also cannot afford the thief's torment or 5/6 link voll's. I'll put up a video soon.. I promise :) |

Thank you for posting this. I'm running a similar build on a witch, and your guide has been quite helpful. I only have a 5-link right now; I generally use fireball, and switch to cold snap or arc if I'm in a party and someone complains about the graphics lag. One fireball gem is more than sufficient to melt everything on the screen and quite a lot off the screen. I think that if I get a 6-link I'll add life leech and respec to Vaal Pact. Combined with 88% elemental resists across the board from spamming surgeon's flasks, that should take care of elemental reflect rares, which I pretty much need to either run away from or wait for my party to kill.
One thing that may be helpful to some of the people reading the guide: Instead of putting my barrage in Voll's, I keep it in a second Quill Rain on weapon swap. The disadvantage of this is that you need two quivers; the advantages are that Quill Rain is much easier to color correctly than Voll's, you free up the slots in Voll's for something else (maybe an MF-cull flame totem for when you're soloing?), and you can have barrage and lightning arrow both on right-click (which I think is easier to use). You can grab some of the cheap colored weapon effects for your Quill Rains so you can tell at a glance which one you have out (might as well use green for barrage and purple for LA, to match the icons), but I don't think it's really necessary. |

Wurpo this is my videos :D
had to reduce graphic setting Merciless Piety http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHCqiteMh_I Merciless Dominus http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05RVeHEWS1A This build sure drop your and your party's fps in maps run, you could switch Chain and Arc to Element Proliferation and Added Cold Damage/Faster Attack, i prefer 20%quality Added cold dmg since it have extra 10% chance to freeze, easily perma freeze on your enemy and let your party do the kill, and less laggy and still nice dmg. now I'm running on this combination when in party run, since most of them complaining I'm ruining their pc LOL LA + GMP + CoCS + Cold Snap + Ele Proli + Added Cold Dmg/Faster Attack IGN : NyssaThunderstorm Last edited by Sleepychotz#0071 on Jan 5, 2014, 11:05:50 AM

" Nice videos. Whenever people complain about lag in a pub party, I just ask them if they would rather have more xp or more fps, they usually stop complaining at that point (or rarely leave the group) |
