[1.2] KuteKitteh’s Tanky Arcer, 20k+ Effective DPS, Atziri/HC-viable. Poor-man’s BM Arc included
" for someone who has only 10c its not that simple. I just try to get the best out of what I have. If the dps improvement is really that great I buy the cybils :) edit: changed my gear to cybils. 200 more dps tooltip, however lightning penetration is not counted. hope now progress is a little bit faster ^^ (still need to cap cold resi 5% xD) Last edited by Mephos on Sep 16, 2014, 1:52:09 PM

Ok, I've read only 23 pages of this thread and the suggestions are really a lot, so I may have missed something, but I wanted to ask a couple questions.
First of all, do you think it would be good to use fire instead of lightning? I know it's very possible, but do you think it would also be efficient? I mean, dps would be at least the same as using arc, or maybe lower for crowd but more for single target, so almost comparable or it could be a loss of dps? What difference could make dropping TS in terms of block chance? Is 70% a lot worse than 74% or not? Of course I'm aware of the leeching mechanism but right now I don't even have the required gems (yes, I'm VERY noob and VERY poor! :D) More a curiosity than a real efficiency question, but what do you think it could happen if we use summon raging spirit with this build? :p I'm mostly asking because I love the skill and because I'm the awkward leveling phare where almost everything kills me, so I was wondering if SRS could be used to spam them and run or if simply it would be way less efficient dps wise. Thank you all for the great ideas in this thread! :) |

"I ran a variant of this build using this tree: and I linked Incinerate to GMP + spell echo + Fire pen/fastercast + added chaos damage. The single-target DPS is amazing and I would honestly rather use that for Atziri runs. 70% is a lot worse than 74%. A lot worse. The 1.1 version of the build ran 70% block and there were some places where I couldn't sustain AFK as efficiently as I can do now with 74% block. As for SRS, it won't do diddly squat without that staff. [2.2] KuteKitteh's CI EA Regen Tank - Durable w/10k ES, instant clear, EZ-Atziri, affordable!: /1625757

" I was afraid of that, so it's not a simple linear formula I guess. That 1% from 74 and 75 is instead negligible? Just to have a fully clear wiew on the subject :) |
|
"The fact of the matter is that the 1% block actually gives more effective HP versus physical damage than a 5% life node. At that point, however, I would much rather have that extra HP node to decrease the likelihood of getting one-shot by the hits that do go through.

Sorry if I keep bothering you, I promise it's the last time :p
Do you happen to have a link or something to explain this block math? I'm always very interested to learn. Btw I tried incinerate with LMP (it's the only thing I have) and without the fire nodes and I must admit that for single target it's awesome if you can withstand the hits without having to kite. |

@KuteKitteh
Iam really progressing with this build and got really lucky with drops to sell :) I switched to a 6S 5L CoD which i use now for CoH Ball lightning with GMP like suggested in this thread ... it is really great for lazy mode :) Nevertheless i have still currency left to progress with my gear. Iam toying around with the idea of taking Vaal Pact. Because i use Windscream i have space for a lightning leech SoL and i already have Doranyis Invitation. What is your Opinion on Vaal Pact with either 1% or 2% leech? | |

Great build KuteKitteh.
I'm running it with my scion lvl 94 and it works great. Doing all maps with no problems. Killed all map bosses. Didnt try Atziri yet. Auras i'm running are TS and clarity. In a hard map with reflect i'll add purity of lightning and in reflect + -max res map i'll toss in a topaz flask. Using double curses casted manually with inc aera and faster casting. After reservation got 2627 mana left. With parties that run discipline and haste my DPS is around 12,7k and got almost 400 mana regen. My stats: HP:4428 MP:3891 DPS:11290

decided to try and craft myself a chest after like 20 alterations and 2 regals spent i ended up with these 2 wish badly i could smash em together :p
also wondering how much resists i should aim for if i count elemental weakness map is it 110% to cover the - from it? | |
" 109 to be precise: L15 EW is -34% all resistances. Last edited by consca on Sep 17, 2014, 10:46:35 AM
