[2.0] Kinetic Blast Wander | Physical and Elemental | HC Viable [BOTW S4E6]
" Yeah I was just specifically wondering about herald of ice's on-kill shatter damage. I have no issues with reflect otherwise on my character so far, and I didn't just want to fire into a reflect pack and instantly die from damage that can't be evaded or mitigated by cwdt. |

" Yeah HoIce is the only real threat, but I've tested it in ele reflect maps and it's fine. You shouldn't drop below 50% health unless it's double reflect or a massive sea witch pack. HoIce cant crit either (unless Assassin's Mark is on), so the damage is always predictable. Run a Sapphire flask for ele reflect maps if you need to run them, but monster aura reflect wont be an issue. Can you link your gear? I always like to see other peoples setup. IGN: @Oos

" Lv 72, a little over 5k gmp dps with GMP + FA + PPAD + PCoC Gear :
Spoiler
I have a 6s belly I'm trying to 5L, but I'll probably stick with daresso's defiance. I have conduit and party with a friend who is playing an avatar of fire burning discharger so daresso's defiance + frenzy that has PCoC pretty much lets him press discharge whenever he wants. Otherwise for single target I'd be using power siphon in a 4L. I really wanna replace the coral ring with a different one that has some more accuracy but other than that I am fairly happy with the gear as-is right now. Also really need to get a curse immune surgeon's quicksilver. Tree: Last edited by ShadeFinale#7921 on Jan 4, 2015, 5:07:15 PM

Very nice guide, easy to read and a lot of useful info.
I have a pretty similar character right now, lvl 84 shadow in bloodlines. It's a recent project, so I didn't invest too much into it yet. Thinking about trying out crown of eyes though, probably need a better wand before that. Herald of ice gives more dps than herald of ash surprisingly (for now at least). 10k dps tooltip with 6 charges, herald of thunder, herald of ice and hatred. 4.8k hp. He is really fun to play, looking forward to upgrading his gear and getting more levels. Gear setup:

" Your damage and gear are pretty good for your level, as you level up everything will scale a lot higher. and yeah your gear can improve but it's decent for your level, and that gear will be fine up to 72 maps at least. Not bad :) " Pretty nice gear, that amulet is crazy. Do you need a mana/hybrid flask with the 4% leech though? Maybe get some flat mana on gear so you can leech back fast enough if you get out of mana sometimes. And do you feel you need Sibyl's Lament? It's a decent ring for this build but you can get more from that slot. Yeah I've been looking at Crown of Eyes too, especially because my new wand has a spell damage roll too, it's a great helmet just kinda hard to fit it in with the -30 fire roll. Need to shuffle some gear around. There's also not many spell damage nodes near Shadow, just Coldhearted Calculation. The Scion ones are inefficient. Good luck with your build. IGN: @Oos

Hey great guide! What would you say the three most important gems to get quality for are?

" Good question. Probably: Kinetic Blast for the AOE. PCoC helps a lot for sustaining your clear speed early on when you don't have much crit. Then either Faster Attacks in your AOE setup, or crit damage in your single target. I'm waiting for most of my gems to hit level 20 then doing the gcp recipe to relevel them. IGN: @Oos

My setup :) I'm more elemental than physical but I consider going more hybrid to reach better mana leech. I was feeling lack of single target damage so I've decided to purchase Thunderfists - the idea is to have very high lightning damage to be able to shock even very beefy monsters/bosses. I'm using wrath + all of Heralds. I got less hp than You do, atm 4550 +130es :P, with better rings I might reach 4800, could be better. Of course acro and in my case 38% evasion. DPS: 40k single target, 14k KB (there is still plenty of room to increase those stats) IGN: _Pabulon_ Last edited by Pabulon#1380 on Jan 4, 2015, 7:11:51 PM

Ok first, Verdanian on Reddit suggested some alternate pathing considering I don't play with Conduit. I tested it out and gained some evasion, Heart of the Oak and got a 10% dps increase. Only lost 70 life.
Here's the new tree and New build guide. I've updated the main post with both the trees and also my sheet stats so you can compare. It's better pathing if you're not going Conduit, only draw back is it has less options at high 90s for skill points to chose. But the build is pretty much complete at 90 so it's fine. So yeah, thanks to Verdanian, respec to that if you want. Verdanian also suggested Frost Wall + Spell Totem + Faster Casting, pretty solid 3L for being able to shotgun rares/bosses on open maps, so try that out if you want. --- " How's reflect with WED + Crit damage? Nice setup but I'd be a little scared with my wand. IGN: @Oos Last edited by Oos#6742 on Jan 4, 2015, 9:24:42 PM

Looks awesome, thanks for the guide. Gonna try this after ripping my flameblast guy.
What do you think going CI with this? Nice leech and ele reduction Last edited by roffo#2831 on Jan 4, 2015, 10:17:29 PM
