[Strongest Solo Variation: Projectile Madness Spectres] LMP/GMP Ice Spear 2x Totem 2x Curse 3x Traps
|
I've been using projectile weakness a lot lately because I'm grouping with a friend who is a ranger, and the dex cost is steep on that, as it is a pure dex, not a dex/int hybrid. I'm seriously thinking the appropriate choice is to get Astramentis ammy.
I've been using it low level, but I want to level it up for the bonuses and the radius. I also want to level my fire traps more. Even my temporal chains is dex capped at the moment. Last edited by magicrectangle#3352 on Feb 18, 2013, 8:32:34 PM

" Thanks for the advice on taking those +30 nodes, Thats what I did, for some reason I feel free..... hahah Allowed me to sub in +mana regen neck and ring. Maybe if i find better +all attributes stuff or +str or +dex with the other stuff i need i can regret those points out later. Now i can lvl bear trap and GMP haha.... btw, what do you guys think of 2x fire trap instead of bear + fire? I've been running it since i couldn't lvl bear.....and the damage is not bad... especially when clearing bunches. Also, this may sound like a stupid question. But i see a lot of end-game players using purely granite and/or quicksilver flasks at endgame.... Personally i find myself using mana flasks a lot....am I missing something? How is it you are getting through 50% mana regen maps or no mana regen maps? Lastly, How do you guys deal with puncture mobs?!? I have 3k+ ES and once i get punctured i'm done.

" Thanks for the info, seems like I'll have to look into other options. Forgot the part about ancestral bond too. |

Just wanted to post here because I see a lot of ppl still seem a bit confused despite the guide lines on page 1.
Currently I am a lvl 78 Shadow dual ice spear totem build.

I started the shadow as a hybrid HP/ES build but switched to full ES 2 lvls ago because it is easier to gear and you don't have to worry about chaos damage in maps. Currently I sit at 4.7k ES and my "paper dps" of my Ice Spear totem is 780 linked with GMP+Faster Cast+Increased Crit Dam. It should be around 1k at lvl 85 because of 9% more cast speed and 2 more lvls on the gems. I am not a fan of curses so I just keep my Frostbite or Elemental Weakness if I encounter frost resist mobs. I don't use any traps except bear traps now and then. What I read here a lot is that ppl think the build requires no gear but clears fast which is not true. You can play double totem with crap gear that is true but clearing is damn slow. Also this kinda build is an endgame build while you lvl up it is way more efficient to just use your FP which does a ton of damage more. Also from my experience this is more of a grp build. You are ultra save in grps since you just place your totems and stand behind and loot. No risk of dieing. The other guys will love you since you freeze the screen of mobs for them. In solo you can clear everything ofc but you are kinda slow. If you wanna go solo just play a FP build with 1 ice spear totem. Your killspeed goes up a lot. That is my experience with the double totem build so far. During lvling I switched a few times between double totem and FP+ 1 totem and always went back to FP + 1totem since it is so much faster and efficient in solo. But when I started my farming in grps the double totem let's you relax behind the lines just casting your totems when the grp moves. Takes away a lot of concentration during farming hours. |

Go dual GMP/FP Totem with focus on pojectile speed/faster casting and added lightning damage for shock stacking. Plant Totem in the mobs face. The most fun part are bosses witch blow up in a matter of seconds when u plant one totem directly behind and one in front of him.

ya this build cannot be the safest, the strongest, and least gear dependent build all at once.
a build like that (aka. dual spork totems) gets a quick nerf hammer in the face. IGN: hyperculler (torment)

Fire trap + ICD+ICS+Concentrated effect
Bear trap + ICD+ICS+ ??? any sugestion ? ty. | |
" You would clear much faster with double curses than with only 1 of them. Also you would again clear much faster with more liberal usage of traps, specialy Fire Traps for large groups. " You are way too squishy. Would be great for groups but still... you are missing out on the Soul and Body ES nodes on the top left sides and on the 5 ES nodes down the Witch, that's about 100% less ES. |

" I like fire trap with IIQ + IIR + whatever tbh IGN: Naforce
