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

I'm using IS constantly and arc in parties usually or when resources gain is halved. All is already extensively explained in my guide.

About FW, never tried it or even thought about it tbh. Try it out and share your experiences with us plse.

I've found that arc and IS goes through the walls, they fill the screen almost instantly with high crit and mobs cant touch you, only problem I've found that its really hard to move in narrow hallways (tunnel maps etc.)
I'm also trying to level a new coc combo with desecrate + detonate dead at the moment, thoughts?

Doing well with the build, nearly 86 level now.

I just wonder why do you say it's armor/eva build. I think armor from the gear is useless, because of acrobatics. Even armor flask benefits are halved. So I'd stick to maximizing evasion and keeping up armor flask with 3 endurance charges, and immortal call popping.

Also, If you've maximized resists with gear already, I advise you to switch purity of elements to grace (I have all 3 auras in my helmet with reduced mana, so I switch between grace and PoE if I have ele weakness as a map mode).

Also, I've put a passive point into 1% life reg in the duelist beginning area, and doubled 40 life/s to 80 life/s. I prefer to spend points into some survivability rather than 20% crit chance, since I don't feel a big difference between 78 and 80% chc with ST.

Atm I wonder, how hard it is to get 3B3G sockets on a 6s pure evasion chest? Is it doable within <300 chromes? I don't feel like using evasion/es hybrid, es doesnt bring any profits here.

I am using a 3B3G evasion chest now and it took probably 40 chromes.

Because when I wrote it I've used armor eva gear, 5L chest and no acro.

Well it's common sense to use aura you need. Without proper 6L it's very hard if not impossible to max out resi here, hence purity.

Sure why not. Not that it's a big difference but I am wandering can you make more emphasis on regen to make up to our lack of life steal. I mean if you have berek's ring great but many new players or new leagues cannot get it.

My guess is quite hard but I cannot give you exact math estimation.

I capped resists even with tabula, got some resists on daggers even, lol :))


If the map is hard, i just switch freezing pulse to life leech and proceed bit slower but safer. Any regen is a bless for me anyway.

Just wanted to thank you Thorien for your build. I started my char as DANMAKU and realised really late it wasn't viable anymore. And you saved it ;) So thanks a lot man. I followed your build step by step and it works damn well.

EDIT : i have a question after all. Is there a chance to hit rate you don't want to go underneath ? Coz atm i'm at like 84% and trying to get more and more crit chance but i feel like i could optimize my dps with some theory crafting and i'm bad at it.
So if you did the maths, could you say what are the goals in chance to it and critical chance on ST please ?

I'm enjoying the build. Currently at 87 on the the new league (Ambush), running with a Tabula Rasa. My gear is fairly similar to OP, not having much issue with soloing most map rolls.

It does seem though that most bosses are impossible to solo in the higher level maps. I'm not sure if this is just a downside, or if I'm "doing it wrong". Didn't see any videos in OP of 75+ map bosses being soloed.

Even Vaal on 74 maze with easy mods was pretty ridiculous. Died 4 times killing it.

I'm wondering though if maybe it's a game of really slick whirling blades / hit / whirling blades / hit to kill bosses though. Does anyone successfully solo higher level map bosses with this build?

Perhaps it's a different story with 6L Belly of the Beast, maybe with some more nodes when you're 90+.

Also, if this helps, this is my current gear. Wouldn't mind a critique on what piece(s) I should have as a priority to upgrade (which pieces are really sub-par).

Hi there,

I am able to solo 74 map vaal without any issues but I modified OP's build by going EB+MOM and doing dagger + shield (saffell's) and 5L lightning coil. Crit chance dropped to ~75% range which sucks, but survivability is pretty high.

Anyone else went this route? My build for those interested

Sepelion, two easy ways that you can increase your survivability is take out one spell in coc and put in life leech and switch out haste with grace, this is what I'm doing for tougher maps ATM.
