Thoughts on an EB version of this build? I get that using BM negates Infernal Mantle drawback, but let's say you only run Herald of Ice and Thunder, Clarity, and Arctic Armor, wouldn't that still give you enough of a buffer not to get the drawback either? Or would it not be worth it?

On another topic - what do you guys think about dropping Three Dragons and relying on the shocks from Herald of Thunder instead?
I am currently testing this and in my lvl range it seems to be fine, but I am curious on how that might turn out later on.

kind regards

The atziri flask is an option for optimizing burst dps for 4 seconds, but for the atziri instance atleast having multiple uses of diamond flasks is so far more usefull.

How much dps gain is diamond flask? Tooltip reflect this (actually never used diamond flask lol) or we have to calculate it? How much crit chance u have - since u don't use power charges. And again (I hope i'm not too annoying) - atziri's promise is much more spammable (30/60) and chaos ress is nice sometimes, at the cost of one suffix slot for curse immunity or sth.

I recently attempted Uber Atziri on standard and noticed the following things:

- Trash
takes some time but is absolutely doable. Totems get stunned and frozen fast which why recasting them often and fast is neccesary. Nontheless no deaths happened here.
Bottom line - no big issues
- Double vaal boss
cost me 3 lives. Due to basically not beeing able to kill them in one spawn phase you are forced to learn this fight in terms of "dancing" . The spawned adds are high hp and again kill the totems fast and stun/freeze them. More practice will help managing this fight properly.
Bottom line : Doable

- Trio
Lost my 6th attempt when the last boss was at 10% life
Due to high health of the bosses you cant just mow down the titty bitch with a diamond flask, atleast with this settup. You are forced to dance properly and recast your totems tactically.
Placemnt of the kills is paramount as ultimativly having boss 1 and 2 killed at the border of the room caused me to lose my last attempts while dealing with the 3rd boss.

- Atziri
No Attempts yet.
Points of concern :
- Dps for add phase
If not enough damage can be applied the normal phase has to be safely doable to counterbalance that and safely reach the 25% benchmarks

- Split Phase Dodging of the spells is easy when you have the rythm down, biggest concern are the spear shots from split and normal phase.
They are supposed to hit hard and give strong bleeds. The question is, is a spear surviveable and is it possible to play totems to such a degree to block the spears with them consistently.


I theorycrafted a modified different build for uber and have started preparations but i wont be able to finish it properly until the next temp league finished.

I have the impression uber is possible with what i have in mind.
Once i succeed i will post what my idea was. Of once i fail and see that it doesnt work, whatever the result will be. :P
