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

Hey man, appreciate this very nice build.
I'm also building a CoC shadow now, but I plan to use Prism Guardian shield instead of dual wielding like you. What is the main difference between DW and single wield aside from 15% attack speed you get from DW?
Could you post a video on a lvl 70+ map with physical or elemental reflect?
I'd like to know how bad is reflect for the build.
Do you think Life leech gem would help a great deal in reflect maps?
Also, what are your crit chances for ST and those spells you're using?
Thanks in advance
I do not recommend using shield; first, you don't need it, second you loose way, WAY too much in offense (whopping ~200% less crit chance, 10% less multiplicative attack speed, and roughly 50-60% less spell dmg)

If you dislike glass cannon approach which I understand I firmly believe that going Acro-Phase Acro, Ondar's guile would do wanders for the survivability of this build. I personally don't care for it, I die rarely but still.

I already have an video of reflect map but never posted it. I could do that. Physical reflect is unimportant, ele reflect is bearable but slows mapping progress so I avoid it. You understand that you could use EK as attack spell and split the reflect penalty easily?

ST chc 88.5 /88.1 %
Ice spear 48% (first phase, second should be capped)
FB 38,7%
FP 38,7%

Non buffed, without crit w. curse.

Can you post a video using EK as one of your links? Just want to see it
Mephixara // Lvl 91 Phys Tornado Ranger
Tynux // Lvl 86 DW Ground Slam Marauder
Ripheuxa // Lvl 90 KB Wander

Video of elemental reflect map posted.
Spell combination (5L) was ST-CoC-AB-Ark-EK (no lmp)
Bit slow but doable.

Hi guys,

I've played a few CoC builds already and always found some survivability issues (low life or reflect).

I've been doin cyclone EK+ Cold Snap, wich is a very OP build but since you are too exposed, you must get Vall Pact. And lets face it, Vaal Pact life builds are just too scatchy... U get hit and have no regen and you are in a party map... and what r u supposed to do? Take a chance and get killed or leave the map..?

Then I found this build and got amazed by the machine gun effect, and decided to try it out. It's awesome!

Here are some infos about my MGM, the Machine Gun Midget!!

Spoiler
Gear




Spoiler
Flasks




Quicksilver is swapped by any other needed, depending on map mods.

I use Jade 'cause it makes my armor burst into 35k whenever its needed (shield chargers, skeleton cows or crazy flickers or random exiles).

Its a very nice build, although sometimes it get laggy cause of all the spells and LMP, and its hard to whirlblade off in the exact moment. Besides that its a ton of fun!
Would like to post vids n pics but havent figured out how to do it...

Thanks to our host! ;)

Np and ty.
Your gear seems fine, grace is OK to use instead of haste if you prefer safety. Your amu seems weakest link. I've recently got nice pair of maligaro's myself (had lucky EX drop in map) but still need to chrome them (pain in the ass) and I lack resistances then.

That CwDT seems leveled so high, is it of any use at all? Wouldn't life leech be good choice there as well?

You can put clarity to life, seems like better choice but if your mana is cool with it ...


One advice, swap AB with FP, it freezes better, does better AoE and it lags less, I think that ice spikes from ground are choking gpu, when cast like crazy that is.

Thanks!
Well the amulte is the best I got, since i need all crit I can et and multip is also welcome. But it needs to be improved, for sure.

My res r capped and mana is no prob. I can run half regen maps without almost using a mana flask.

CWDT high lvl is cool. To use in case of emergency :P
Decoy totem n skeletons help me distract the attackers. EK is there cause i dont wanna spend all my croms and still dont get 4 off collors...

As for the 3rd spell i've been wonderin wich one to use... AB seemed better cause it make more dmg, has AoE and freezes the ground. The downside is the lag and messy screen..
In game I cant notice no difference, even though the gem lvls r diferent.

I was wondering if I should use EK, butthen I would loose survivability 'cause of bereks leech...

I cant understand reflect mechanics.. sometimes I die, sometimes I dont... Maybe its because of other map modifiers... Sometimes I even loose life although the rare is alone and has no allies to reflect my dmg.. :/
You should change the name of this build to "The Tsunami-Wave of Destruction"! Anyways, cool build,Thanks for sharing!
If you can't control it, STOP.
Hey TC thanks a lot for posting that ele reflect video.
Do you think you can straight up face tank them with life leech gem in ele reflect map?
I was thinking about spec throw-CoC-GMP-life leech-Fire ball-ice spear.
assuming i'll have 75% resist in merciless
It worked for me while I had Vaal Pact. After respeccing it, life doesnt leech fast enough. In my exp.
