[1-2.0] CoC Sci/Sha/Ran/Due with Block - Song of Ice and Fire. Cheap. Fun. Nerfed

So I tried Atziri again. Won't be uploading this one because wow that was embarrasing. It started out well, killed the vaals and the trio boss monsters without dying (this time, the 3rd guy didn't apply corrupted blood but he did last time. Weird). Then I went up against Atziri full of confidence and she proceeded to kill me 4 times in a row before I got her to half. 3 of the deaths her spells didn't even hit me yet I still died. Spamming Whirling Blades does make me desync more and the recording program drops my fps, but still.

I think I will see if adding spell block helps any, because the dps appears to be sufficient but getting instagibbed by a single spell is a problem when she fills the area with them. Granted I could just get better at dodging, but still. That shit it hard.

Edit: At least one of the blue packs in between boss areas dropped this:

Can i see your Gear? I think Rainbow Boots are a must have fighting vs Dom/Atziri etc. and the Amulet wich gives u alot of Spell Block too.

Gear


So yeah, I have no spell block which didn't seem to be much of a problem the first time I fought Atziri, but here the 2nd time I got raped by those spells. I think it's just because I'm terrible at dodging. The problem is that I am not overcapped by much on resist, so I would have to start changing a lot of things to fit in Rainbowstride/Stone of Lazhwar.

Did some minor changes to gems and did some gear changes to fit in spell block. Can now do Atziri runs with 0-1 deaths which is much better than before. Might record a run as the one linked in the opening post wasn't very smooth.

Appreciate that.

Could you post gear and tree together with a video so that I can quote it in the guide?

New Atziri run





The Stone of Lazhwar allows me to spec out of the +30 int node, but I'd have to spec back into it if I get a corrupted version of the amulet with either an additional curse or 4% to Spell Block.

Thank you! Updated!

I noticed you're still linking to the old atziri vid in the video section.

As for changes I did since last time, I dropped the rare amulet and boots to get Stone of Lazhwar and Rainbowstride. Then I also had to change 1 of the Diamond rings for one with more resists. At the same time I changed the Leather belt to Doryani's since I was able to buy a very well-rolled one, but I might swap back because I'm not sure if 29% cold dmg and 1% cold leech vs 300 hp is really worth it.

I also dropped Clarity which allowed me to move the auras to a weapon and then get the curses and Vaal Grace linked to an Increased Duration gem, and holy moly Vaal Grace is good. Makes you near invulnerable for 10 seconds. It's pretty much only spells that hit you multiple times that have a chance of damaging you while it runs.
Oh, and I swapped Smoke Mine for Vaal Haste as well since I wasn't using the mine. I don't use it as much, but it does provide a nice boost in case you need it. It's come in handy a few times already.

I'm not super into the ST-GMP-LGoH-PCoC combo though. Not that it doesn't work, because it really is surprisingly good, but I just never use it. It's almost solely during Atziri's invulnerable phase with the spawning mobs where I use it, otherwise it's just sitting there regardless of which map or boss I'm facing. I have no idea what to change it for though.

Fixed. And liked xD

How about using a "Divinarius Imperial Skean" ? It has everything this build needs.
