FoxTactic's - Righteous Arcer\Surgeon - No update for 1.2

Guys i thought u already knew (since u play poe longer than me) than lightning penetration's added dmg isnt applied in the tooltip....i have a feeling its more rewarding dps wise in actual combat than whats in the tooltip....

you dont have same tree as fox. And wont until you are is his level.

You could run charisma now though and 5 aura if you pull all DPS nodes away from shadow and make way down there. Not sure if it's worth it. You'll have to spend regrets and see.


Personally at 88 I use this tree and say screw haste for now. Haste introduces a major DEX problem I don't want to deal with and I'm not level 98 either.

switched from the first brigadine from the previous build to light coil and wtf? what a HUGE difference.. ive skipped totem now to level up other gems instead, but instead of being squishy as hell (jumping mobs, flicker mobs) I can suddenly facetank everything. Even reflect, without topaz flasks. The vitality aura is IMBA even on lower levels.

This was awkward, played the previous build and felt like a glass cannon but now Im starting to feel tanky.

LC is best one of the defensive chest in game. I used one on shadow before this too and will use on many future builds...it's like having 10,000 armor @87% resits with no armor needed no Iron Reflexes needed. Weakness of the CoD is you need a ton of mana reserve like 1800 to see same defenses as LC. No one has that much reserved so it falters. Also multiple hits in a row CoD gets weak. LC doesnt.

I looked through all the pages and still dont see an explanation for how Fox got over 400 life regen.

I have Warrior's Blood, Shaper, and even the 3 life regen nodes by Shaper, L19 Vitality, and 3700 life, but my life regen is 268. I can understand 50 lower because of the life difference and the 1 level.

Can someone explain how Fox did it without snapshotting?

Im not sure i agree with helmet gem choice in OP. Echo is good but faster casting with echo is less real world DPS than echo with lightning penetration instead.

Tested second phase on domino.

18K sheet DPS with Empower + Echo + Faster Cast + Arc = 15 sec

14K Sheet DPS with Empower + Echo + Lightning Penetration + arc = 10 sec

Test yourselves but I find lightning penetration far superior.

Also keep in mind that the spread (dps wise) with all lightning skills is very big, so 1 run won´t be any kind of evidence cause the dmg rolls per arc hit are just so different each time. Can hit some very low rolls after each other and so on. And as others said, light pen added dps are not included in the tooltip. So yeah light pen is around 1/3 added dps ;)

I followed this thread from day one and his build has changed so many times with different trees and different gems even. Back when he posted over 400 lps he had six .4 regen nodes. Probably just doesnt update pic. No way he has 400 lps with skill tree shown.

Exactly, he respecced so many times, the 400 life regen is not from the current tree with only running vitality.

One strong point (if you get enough unreserved mana) however is that CoD takes 40% off all damage ( ele dmg) and LC only reduces phys dmg. But i am 100% with you, LC is simply the best dmg reduction chest there is if you have high light res or even get 100% light res with flasks up (like utilized in this thread)

cheers

I wonder how this build would operate with legacy Saffel's. Assuming you could still sustain Righteous fire it would make the build even tankier.

fox used a saffells for parts of the atziri fight i believe, im not sure if he managed to always outregen rf with it but I think the leech covered it.

would sepll echo be better instead of faster casting for helm

his final gem setup was arc + empower + echo + lightning pen




CoD does take off 40% of all damage, but only when u have mana. Thing with the coil setup over the cod build is that ur using that mana to run more purity auras, giving you more max res, youre using a shield with more max res, you are still mitigating long after cod would empty ur mana globe, you get more life from chest and tree etc. So the combo is a lot more tanky when taken as a package.

I have all foxes ambush gear but personally Im still running the cod version of the build at lvl93, I just love that chest and the way it all comes together. When the respecs come in with the new tree Ill probably switch over to the rf coil version, providing something solid can still be achieved with the new pathing. I have well over 4k mana with maybe 1.7k unreserved and over 480 regen per sec on the cod build but even then I will very occasionally get smashed down to 0 mana and start taking hefty damage. Ive yet to actually die to something other than a horrible incident with an offscreen chain hitting ele reflect in a -max map while not paying attention, but its far from invincible and I feel like an emergency mana pot is a must. Once that globe empties your wide open to all manner of damage. Coil op.





I use coil with a number of builds, I feel like coil + grace and ev gear + ondars + acrobatics/phase acrobatics + block + heart of oak is one of the tankiest attack mitigation setups in the entire game, it just shits on any armour + iron reflexes + unwavering stance combo imo. Fox experimented with acrobatics in the build, its had benefits but I think just too many points better spent elsewhere + hurting on ur mana through the es reduction put the idea to bed after a few days fun.

Yeah CoD does 40% mitigate all damage but us LC user got 95% fire and 87% light so we are too 40% if not more elemental than the CoDers. I dunno man. I had 1200 mana free when I played ziggyds so-called tank EK knives build which used CoD. Once mana well ran dry after a few hit in succession I was dead in the water. Not to mention you can't cast spells which have life leech. Really there is no comparison to the LC setups with high resits in game play. LC is OP lol.

I never was able to beat atziri with the popular tank build of last season MOM EK Scion/shadow that Ziggy promoted. Can easily with Fox's LC setup.
