Hi Dominion!

What would your build look like with 90 passive points for someone who isn't going Whispers of Doom?

My problem is that there is such a big gap before your two last builds (ES + Lightning Damage + 2x Curse transitioning into Crit builds with no curse) that I have no idea which passives take priority.

Any recommendations?

Thanks^^

I would probably take whispers of doom in a 90 point build, but I'll give it a shot.

Thanks =) My friend is 100% curse uptime and I'm only ever with him =)

I wasn't sure if I should go into the bottom half of the large ES nodes, lightning damage or crit- but this answers my question =)

I just had a question about fork.

At level 17, it gives:
32% increased projectile damage
and
30% less projectile damage

So it should increase my tooltip damage, right?

However, when I unlink it from spark, my tooltip damage goes up. Could you explain this to me?

Increased/Decreased are additive with each other while Less/More divide/multiply everything. The 32% increased damage is thrown on top of all your other increased damage then added to the skill. The 30% less reduces everything by 30%.

Ah, right. Thanks that makes sense

Why don't you take Doomcast in the 70-88 builds it doesnt worht it?

Hey guys.

Just wanted to give my 2 cents.
Im playing 100% solo, its a chooice. Im currently doing maps 66-69.. Doing maps solo is very hard, the maps themself are very easy, but sustaining a map pool, is nearly impossible.. Atleast 4 times I have had to buy 15+ maps.
Im starting to run VERY low on currency, so 2-3 days, if this keeps up. Im gonna have 0 maps and 0 currency.
Then I will have to start all over with docks or bite the dust and try and get a group.

That was just some side noice ;)

Here is my current tree and gear:

Build:


Gear:


Critical upgrades for me, imo. Is gloves, helm and wand/shield.

I have 800DPS and 5300ES, buffed.
83 in all res.

So I feel quite good about my gear, some parts are in dire need of upgrading. But since Im atm investing all my currency into maps. There is not much I can do.

I love my neck though. Its crazy :D

I just transistioned into crit. Abit earlie lvl wise and ES wise. But I wanted a change and it works rly good.
If I could 6L the 6S vaal regalia I have in my stash and use increase crit dmg, that would up dmg DPS to over 1000.

I spend very little currency on rerolling maps. The only thing I alt is blood magic and cant regen mana/es/hp.
I do reroll maps with below 25% quant aswell.

I have had a few scares. But 9 out of 10 near deaths, has been due to lack of focus and nothing else.
This build is just super effective, super safe and super fun =)

Question: When is it worth removing the static blows and chance to chock? like at what crit % should I remove them? its quite alot of points to have the 2. So. Im on like 28% crit now or something

Thanks again dom.

Regards
Greatness

What level are you SuperGreatness? You have such high dps. Btw your amulet is pure awesomeness ;)

Im lvl 81.

I dont have 800, That was with some experimental gems, my bad.
My DPS is 720. Not a big diff, but yeah ;)

Im running "item rarity" atm instead of lightning pen, witch is kinda nice :D
Swapping to light pen when I have enfeeble mods or when its scary mods like mob as, speed, dmg or something, just to clear faster.

And yeah, that neck is so nice.. The +dex makes it just as good as a onyx for this build

Your DPS is really good supergreatness. Have you considered going from inner force to the templar area instead of getting the 2 power charge things? Then you would gain 10 dex and 10 int and you spend the same points.

I really like how just a few levels of crit nodes add that much DPS.

Also how comfortable do you think you'll be in lvl 70-71 maps with 5300 ES?

I acctualy respecced abit yesterday.



I dropped Static blows.
Since I have 30% crit chance and my condu curse gives another 15% chance to apply shock.

I have done a few 70-71 maps. They feel fine, just have to be on your toes abit more and rly pay attention to what mobs there are and what fun buffs they have.
But I wont do any more 70+ maps until I get to around 7k+ ES.

That would happen with new gloves, helm and shield.

Will most likly go for the crit gloves when I have 9k+ ES. But thats far into the future.

Right now im focusing on building a nice map pool and upgrading my last parts of gear.

Yesterday I finally got the CI node and was at around 3900 ES, so figured I'd finish ACT II.

Last night I entered ACT III and this morning I finished it.

I am playing default league, but haven't died all the way from cruel through merciless (I did die twice in normal though).

My gear still needs upgrading - especially boots, helm and gloves, but my wand, shield and chest piece are okay until I can start running maps. Also need to get quality gems and level them, but that's going to take a lot of currency.

I am at 4900 ES now and waiting on a helm purchase to go through which will put me at 5300 and now that I hit 70 I can just start farming for gear and orbs.

This build has been working great for me and I love it.

Thank you again.
