...::: [1.1.0] TK's ST CoC Shadow aka THE WELDER :::...

Is carcass jack 6l any good option for this build?

Any decent 6L is good option for this build but we even accept tabula :)

Just to note that build is totally ok with 5L to play but 3 spells is 50% more then 2. And third can be conc. effect, life leech, etc, so it's strength and flexibility.

As for increased AoE of jack, I'm not sure if it does much difference but even small plus is better then none.

i have only one comment on this build and all CoC builds, plz GGG DONT NERF IT aka <DONT DESTROY FUN> of build so hard to gear up
im running wand barrage with EK and tihs is really funtastic, most amazing time i have in this game. even if im dying im happy to play it:)

hi, thanks for the build. i discovered your thread at the end of last season and followed it this this season in ambush. i enjoyed it unit i was about 80 and then i would just blow myself up to ele reflects. even if i noticed it was reflect and was running away around corners spamming health pots, i would still die way too often and losing 10% is too much at high levels. so i made some changes and now have yet to die in the past 6ish levels running 76-78 maps, now I'm level 89 and cruising. :)


6l: life leach, cast on crit, fireball, ice spear, greater multiple projectiles, spectral throw.

build with vaal:

i would consider changing 4 points for ondar's guile

gear:



i found that the fireball and ice spear was more than enough damage and crowd control without needing freezing pulse to still clear packs and pin my health at full.

two cast when damage taken links, one low linked to enduring cry, immortal call and increased duration and one high linked to molten shell.

surgeons potions are a must too

at this point, I'm tanky as f@&# and i still do more damage than these crowds can handle even in grouped 77/78 maps. I even dumped and i mean dumped crits into an ele reflect pack last night in a 77map and i almost shed a tear when the fireworks ended and i stood victorious.

thanks again for your guide.

cast on crit for the win!

Hi

I'm sorry, i'm too lazy to read the previous comments to see if someone already ask this but, what do you think about switching ST with Lightning Strike ? I know the strenght isn't that good in this build but it could be an alternative for a little inovation, don't you think ?

I don't see why not. Then you would get the benefits from Chain. :)

I don't think that they will nerf CoC tbh, in beginning I was slightly worried but more I play I realize that they are balanced nicely. Powerful yet very specialized on gear, demanding on reflexes and somewhat frail. I've seen builds that need more nerf then this.

You probably have low life that 's why you had so many problems. You've sacrificed life on gloves and your amu is really, vendor class bad, that meas you have around 3K of health? I have almost 4K, big difference. LL setup indeed helps on reflect - when I put LL gem as third, I can kill ele reflect mob on ele reflect map without problems. I am curious about new vaal pact but I won't spend throng of regrets to find out unfortunately. Too late for me now.

Also, your second dagger lacks chc. Not biggie but still.

What I think? I think that you won't find better CoC initiator then ST - that skill is so damn OP even on it's own. It pierces, attacks huge AoE and hits group of mobs multiple times with multiple missiles, that is why on large groups we have spell tsunami like no other build, and it's more consistent too.

But try it out and see, maybe you discover something interesting.

Ok, so i followed your advice and upgraded my gear, hope its good now :P

How early do you usually take Acro in this build? I've never played a build with acro so I'm not sure how well it works. I'm currently level 53 just so you know.

I'm gonna try this build in Invasion and I probably need to take a bit of dps out for some more survivability so if you can help me plan out a tree with bonus life that'd be great. Thanks mate!
