[1.1.5]PewPewPews Cheap Detonate Dead build | 1.2 Info inside!
I'm level 73 running this build with very little modification on Ambush.
I don't have saffel's or carcass jack yet. It's working out really well and I haven't had a problem with 71 maps (thats the highest i've run so far). In fact, most of the time I can just alch and go. I have no problem with reflect maps and I don't even use a ruby flask because I'm too lazy to swap it out. My gear is all pretty shitty - 1-2 chaos each piece except for Rime Gaze which was a whopping 7c. The way I deal with reflect is instead of dropping a desecrate right in the middle of a pack, I will put it a little further from the edge of a pack so that the explosion only hits 2 or 3 of the mobs instead of 10 of them. Most of the time, the burn proliferates to the whole pack and they all die. All you have to do is go a little slower on reflect maps... I think part of the reason why I don't die to reflect is that you really don't want to go overkill with dps in this build. I have a 40% scepter (20% elemental and 20% fire damage) and a 12% ring, and that's it for dps on my gear. This is pretty much the perfect amount of damage for me to clear quickly without having to worry about accidentally bombing a reflect pack. In parties, my flammability always gets overwritten quickly so i rely more on the damage of the actual explosion. If I were going to party more regularly, I would probably try to get higher chance to ignite. Adverse map mods (Temporal Chains, Fire Resist, Reflect, half/no regen, even blood magic) only slow me down; none of them are impossible, just annoying. I use Vaal Molten Shell instead of Molten Shell mostly for fun. It's pretty cool with increased duration. I also have only two CwDT rigs instead of three. I still have searing bond, but the only reason i use it is for IIR. I think I should swap it for some sort of culling skill so i can try to cull rares as they die to burn. Most of the time, I don't have time to drop the totem before the burn from DD kills them. Maybe Arc + Culling + IRR? Let me know if you have any questions and I'll try to help if i can. |

There are a few different trees players are posting, I would like to respec. my stormcall temp into this for standard league, I have looked at 3 similar trees, one of which takes the 'Arsonist' ring and two others that do not.
I have a Saffell's Frame and a 5L Cloak of Defiance which I could mess around with for now, I have the currency for Carcass Jack and Rime Gaze. Has the OP abandoned this build? Thanks! |

I have not, I am currently taking a break from the game. But I plan on picking up this build + my others coming week. Apologies for the sudden break everyone :(
I am a nice guy.

Prices on Rime Gaze have fallen substantially recently. In ambush they're back below 10 chaos. As initial demand is met prices should start falling for Carcass and Saffell's too. Probably going to take longer though because both of them are useful for a larger number of builds.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? |

I'm currently looking at this as a mid 70's tree. I don't play enough to make a lvl85 build a practical objective, and the long plunges across the tree to the Arsonist or Growth and Decay clusters don't offer much of value for a mid 70's char

Thanks for the response! I am looking forward to the updates and will mess around with the tree in a couple days! :D

Level 78 so far with only Rime Gaze and this build is pretty amazing. Just a quick question with the skill tree. Is it worth 4 points to spec into the damage over time nodes (Entropy) between the witch and the shadow? Seems like it would help dps a lot although this is quite hard to test.

Has anyone got any advice on CwDT Zombies vs Decoy Totem in a 5L Carcass Jack?
I managed to colour mine RRBBB-B (Perfect for CwDT Zombies) but I wondering whether its worth trying to get RRRBB-B for Decoy Totem, thanks :) |
