SHARP's CI Immortal / Simply OP for all maps (37k+ DPS)+vids / Fully updated for 1.1SotV

Hint 1 for coming Part 4:

AoE dps.. thats the max aoe dps among our versions atm... almost 40k..




guess what is our skill at Part4 ? :)


enjoy..


p.s. there will be np at all as usual on Boss fights either.. details soon after your guesses

single target DPS.. almost 53k




enjoy..


p.s. splash was used for AoE.. still no guess? :)

I WOULD SAY INFERNAL BLOW IS THE MAIN SKILL...!!!!

AM I RIGHT?

Hi Sharp,
First of all, I think its a very cool build, and you have some great innovations from Evelyus' build and very glad you shared with the community.

I just want to comment on your statements surrounding Ghost Reaver. I noticed you dropped it and its very possible that the build doesn't need it at all as you've already showed.

However, I wanted to either discuss or correct your reason for dropping it. You seem to believe that the leech max for ghost reaver is based on your health but I believe it switches to your ES. Others in the community believe the same (see: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/547048 or http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/194080 or http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/446180).

This means that if you have 5000 ES, you will be getting 1000 ES/second leech with ghost reaver as leech comes free with blood rage. I would think this huge increase in defense would be worth the extra couple of nodes, but I would love to hear your comments! I'm working on trying to put a build like this together for group play, very excited about it.

Thank you for your kind feelings about me.. I am really very glad to hear the friends being happy with the builds I share...

I am a mechanical engineer and maybe because of being in science so deeply in my life , I also read a lot about game mechanics and theory craftings. Fortunately I never said I am always right what I say when I get some critics about them. Ghost Reaver subject really confused me after you stated the Max. Life switches to ES if we get this keystone..

Pls find below the link explaining the Ghost Reaver and Life leech in CI which was exactly how I knew:

When you use Ghost Reaver with CI, it works off your hidden health pool - what you would have if you did not have CI. It then regenerates at a maximum of 20% of that hidden number.

Say you have 1000 HP when you take CI;
You now have 1 HP - but still have that hidden value of 1000;
This is useful because Ghost Reaver's leech is based off 1000, not 1;
So you can regenerate up to 200 ES/sec - provided you do enough damage to leech that much.

The links you gave me were from the players who discussed the GR subject and what they believe was opposite of my knowledge and people at the link I gave above.. The best thing was to search a bit more deeply to find any post from GGG team about GR.

I have found a post from Mark (team GGG) under this topic: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/49775 on September 2012

Energy shield is leeched back at a rate based on your maximum ES.

The post was written 1.5 years ago and If nothing changed with a patch and this is still valid then my GR drop decision must be revised.

I have a plan to test if it is still valid:
*** replace Aegis with a normal high ES shield, so no effect from shield to restore our Es loss in fight.
*** so that, my max ES will be 9000 resulting the rate of Es Leech = 1800 Es/sec.. which is 10 times more than what I believed as 190 life (Es) /sec
*** get back Ghost Reaver and fight.. watch carefully the ES.. It will be easy to notice the rate of Es /sec

I will share my test result soon and consider to get back GR or not..

Thank you once more..

The thing with leech is that leech is a % of damage done, physical damage done, and GR just allows this leech to replenish ES instead of life.

So whatever max ES or max life, it doesn't matter, it's not ES regen.

I think GR is still worth it on top of block regen from Aegis.

Otherwise you don't regen your ES unless you block an attack or spell, or just wait for the natural ES regen to occur.

I'm an engineer too (biomedical/electrical) and is definitely a major reason why I like this game. I find the game mechanics/crafting of builds to be really fun.

Wow! Nice find. I think that's pretty definitive that its off ES and not HP then. I don't have my character up to the point where I can test, but will look forward to hearing your test results, sounds like they will be positive based on that post. If it does scale off ES, I'll be excited to see how you might change your build to have it. Seems well worth it since you already get the life leech free due to blood rage.

It's actually critically important whether its HP or ES as Sharp pointed out in the original thread post. The importance has to do with the rate of leech that you will actually get. If its based on HP, then the 20% leech/second rate will only net you around 200 ES per second (assuming an effective life of 1000). If the rate is based on ES, then the 20% leech/second rate will net you 1000 ES per second if you have 5000ES. Thus its very important whether ghost reaver switches the calculation from your effective HP to your actual ES or not. Hope this clarifies things.

My dear friend we r not discussing about Life Leech mechanic.. It is very clear there is no doubt at all.. You do damage and accumulate Life , there is no even a cap at that accumulation.
And if u use Life Leech gem , then leeching is from all type of dmg u apply not only physical..
Else, yep, Life Leeching is only for physical part of your total dmg..

Our discussion is on the "Rate of Life (Es) / sec" mechanism..
Say, u have a phy. dmg of 20000 / sec.. and u have 10% LLeech..
The total Life Leech (LL) / sec will be 20000 * 0.10 = 2000 life / sec..
but u can not get your 2000 life back in a second..
GGG put a restriction there as of 20% of your max Life.. (or as we r discussing 20% of Es not life if u get Ghost Reaver)

This is the RATE of LL (or Es Leech).. it is FIX.. only related with your max life or Es ..

hope it is clr mate..

Ah I c, that's clear now!

Come on, tell us what you are using now to get 50k dps!

I finished Ghost Reaver test..
done with:
9153 Es (1830 Es/sec max)

by replacing



with




Verified that the Rate of Es / sec is related with Max. ES value not hidden life as written on September 2012 by GGG team member MARK..

I will revise Part 2 and coming Part 4 accordingly after making some more tests to find out the feasible and optimum build values..

enjoy..
