Hey , wanted to ask you would it be to make CWDT + endurance cry + immortal call + molten shell .
And what level gems should be the best for this build ? |
|
"Molten shell isn't good for the build, since the armor bonus is negligible. It would be better to have Increased Duration to make IC longer. The standard level setup for cwdt is 1/5/3 for cwdt/ec/ic, but I went with 7/9/8. [2.2] KuteKitteh's CI EA Regen Tank - Durable w/10k ES, instant clear, EZ-Atziri, affordable!: /1625757

Really enjoying how tanky I am. I started out running fox's rf arcer but after the res nerf I switched to pledge of hands to try out crit and while the damage was amazing, I was constantly stunned or frozen. None of that is an issue now :D, and while my damage is only mid 7000's it can only go up as my support gems level up some more.
Gear
Few things I've done is I dropped MoM on the tree and chose to wear a CoD, that let me get to Bloodless as I was having some issues with vagan leeching off me. Until I can fix my rings to something a little better I decided to go all the way to Diamond Skin and I also chose to take the block point above Aegis for 75/75 block. My original idea was to keep MoM on the tree and wear a Lightning Coil and use empower/clarity/21PoL/RM to put me at 83% light res but with no aura reserve nodes it eats up too much mana and i'm left with much much less regen. Wondering what your thoughts are on that? I think without empower and just a 20PoL/clarity/RM/TS the mana i'm left with would be enough, but maybe you've tried it and can advise against it lol. |

"As far as I know, Vagan uses flasks for that stupidly OP recovery; haven't had an issue with him leeching. Lightning Coil wrecks mana/manaregen on the build and makes resistances more difficult to cap out comfortably. I don't doubt that the build is doable with LC + PoL, but the loss of mana regen makes sustained facetanking way more difficult especially with rings like yours. Also, I prefer an ES-based chest so I can run a 5-link Arc, and using a Geofri/Vertex means dropping my DPS 10% and losing a good health roll.

Just dropped by to say thanks for this amazing build :) Im at the moment 69 level @ Beyond-league with the build, hopefully I can transfer to the main build at some point.. (Currently there's one rathpith for sale @ Beyond, c/o 6ex)

"Hey thanks for the feedback. Yea, Rathpiths are insanely expensive so people will have to hold onto their Crest of Peranduses for now. [2.2] KuteKitteh's CI EA Regen Tank - Durable w/10k ES, instant clear, EZ-Atziri, affordable!: /1625757

" Can ID be leveled as normal or do we need to stop leveling it at a certain point? |
|
"Support gems (e.g. ID, Spell totem, Increased AOE, Life leech, etc.) are all not related to CWDT, so yes you can have ID at any duration. [2.2] KuteKitteh's CI EA Regen Tank - Durable w/10k ES, instant clear, EZ-Atziri, affordable!: /1625757

Hi Kitteh! I have a few questions regarding leveling up with your build. Im lvl 50 in Beyond league right now and am sitting at 2500 health 1000 mana and 60% block and 30% spell block. My question is should i prioritize life nodes at this point or block nodes? I have 5 skill points saved up and have a choice of getting 24% max life, 30 life, 10 str or 10% shield block. What do you think i should go for first? Also, after that, should i go for Eldritch Battery next or unwavering stance? Thanks!
PS. Im going for the build without blood magic as i have a ton of mana and more than enough mana regen to sustain a 4L arc while keeping up Tempest Shield and Clarity. |

Wow, I see this is getting more popular lol. Deservedly so! First off, thanks for the nice build. I love Arc and have been playing 3 different ARCers in the 1 month, most were a variation of Foxtactics. I loved the clearpseed but didn't like the running away.
Never had a block char before, and I have to say it's quite nice. Lvl55 now and I've tried BM... no. Just no. I seriously hate BM on a caster. So I went back to your other tree, and it feels so much better even using Perandus/Lazwahr. I held on to the Mind Barrier wheel because of the spellblock and routed via the lower path to EB, as I won't be getting the lightning wheel anyway in Beyond League. Dual curse is really great too. Mana regen is a bit tough but manageable with a Doedre's, I have to keep AA at low level for now. Also never used tempest shield, feels good for the small reservation and also looks cool - what more can you ask :D Now I'm on my way to MoM, should be there until I reach lvl70 or so at which point I can start mapping. Again, very cool build! Edit: Gear at lvl55, total cost about 10c in beyond (I NEED FUSINGS!! lal)
