[2.0] YeahPete's Hardcore Elemental Molten Striker | custom Loot Filter | Affordable

Maps are rediculously hard to find now. I got to play a bit today. I'm on 72 maps now. You need to chisel and alch from 72+. I'll make a few vids.

I got super lucky. Found a cheap doryani for 4 exalts. I now recommend this over soul taker. Yeah, we still must use blood magic, but

Put it in main-hand and now use leap slam. AHhh such a relief to use leap slam
Unfrenzied tooltip went from 20k to 25k.
Tooltip W/ 3 frenzies and Ice golem is 31k.

30k tooltip is when reflect actually starts damaging you a bit now. It's manageable though. Hurts a bit on shocking ground. On double reflect and reflect + shocking ground maps, I take off blood rage and it no longer subtracts your hp. May be a good idea to have a jade flask to evade reflect on these maps.

YeahPete - first off, thank you for the guide dude. You are extremely clever in putting this build together and your commitment to improving the build by providing AND receiving feedback with the community is obvious. (I agree on your armour defense stance). Have a question at the end of this post that I am hoping you can advise on.

So currently lvl 84 with pretty decent gear (below) on Warbands

Claws

Armor

Rings/Ammy


Quick Notes
-Able to solo 71-74 maps regularly but don't have the sample size to comment on 75+ maps (yet).
-Working on 5L or 6L'ing a perf Belly

-Easy 21k DPS (tooltip) without accounting for curses etc.
-A lot of this gear was obtained today, ignore the links, socket colors, crafting, quality etc.

Literally did the Templar respec today so still a lot to work out with the gems
________________________

This may be a silly question but hoping you can advise:
With the 4 auras running I have 0 mana remaining (no Soul Taker either) - so essentially cannot do any CWDT without blood magic. I have +1 curse off the tree and plan to use Assasin's Mark, Enfeeble and Ele Weakness. I must be missing something here.

Also- fortify/whirling blade combo doesn't annoy me that much- I agree with a previous post that I really only proc it against high phy rare hitters.

Thanks dude,
Arklite

hey pete,

thank you very much. the recommendations were very helpful. as far as i can say to the 76+ maps. ife gain on hit is a must. especially if u face bloodline blues. i recommend it. the next thing i've check is the romira's added to the build

here are the changes i made:




the flask set up is very important. the belly will receive 1 green slot again to switch over to or if i face hard endgame bosses.

i can't say what the dps currently is, but the clearspeed is decent, the sustain of the char with 5.4k life very strong. i would say it's the best build i've ever had for the endgame.


i can sell my 6s 5 L belly if someone can't find one.

CwDT does not require any mana

I have +1 curse off the tree and plan to use Assasin's Mark, Enfeeble and Ele Weakness. I must be missing something here.

Well you can't use 3 curses if you only have +1 curse. Your choice between Assassins Mark and Ele Weakness.

Very nice gera btw!

TY. Nice belly and alpha's! I'm jelly. That stuff still way overprice and I pretty much went all in on my doryani so I'm stuck for a while w/o those items. Might stay high for a bit. The amount of dead people in tempest is pretty significant.



I got 3 more video's uploading right now. I'll try and post links.
Just a few lvl 71-72 maps.

It may be a bit for those anyways got more stuff to do.

I noticed your staying on the right side of the tree. If you don't plan on moving to the templar area, look into Static Electricity Viridian Jewel. Socket it right above the ranger frenzy charge and grab every ranger dex mode in it's area. You'll get 1k dps by just adding that jewel and another 1k dps if you choose to grab the rest of those dex nodes. Well it gave me 1k dps anyways.

Although. I am still a firm believe in the 7% hp and 2x attack speed nodes w/ another mods. Very expensive though :).

may i have your opinion about Mantra of flame jewel?:
http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Mantra_of_Flames

doesnt it adds more dps with :
(golem+endCharge-PowerCharge-Frenzy-bloodrage-aura1-aura2-aura3-fortify-onsalught(from my daresso)-rallying cry-potion buff1-potion buff2-potion buff3(i am crit +surgeon flask are up all the time)
that is 1 buffs)


(I also have immortal call from time to time!! fo 15 buffs!!)
Woudlnt that gem be awesome?!?!

"

Woudlnt that gem be awesome?!?!

I'm using that gem. I thought the same thing as you. I had an earlier post. Unfortunately some time ago the mechanics changed and flasks / charges no longer count as buffs :( I believe curses count. Bleeding and status ailments do not count.
I still get buffs from:
Fortify
Blood Rage
Molten Shell
Onslaught
Ice Golem
Wrath
Herald of Thunder
Arctic Armor
Enduring cry for 0.2 seconds lol
We could add rallying cry for another buff. would it be worth it?
We can also grab a few jewels w/ more mana reservation and add clarity aura but then again... Thats a big investment for just a little damage. Phase run, but that would only be for 1 attack.

My original idea was to use this gem and combine it with dominating blow and fortify. Use fortify on every rare mob and gain his aura if he has one. I tried it for a few hours while I did get considerable dps, it was very difficult to time the dominating blow and wasn't any faster. Mobs would chase all my minions instead of attacking me. Well I guess rallying cry would help huh? Would still be a PITA.

"

We could use head hunters glory troll belt and really abuse it.

I just check it they renamed it to "Headhunter". we would be lacking in resists though. SO would it be worth it? I think so in lower maps, but not so in higher maps.


ANyways...
Now it still gives me considerable dps (over 1K), but I think I would rather have a good rare Life + speed jewel + critchance / accuracy. I really like high hp you can never get enough hp.

Neither flask effect nor endurance/frenzy/power charges are buffs as far as the game is concerned. That leaves you with a total of ~6.5 buffs (golem, 3*aura, blood rage and an averaged uptime of 50% on each of fortify, onslaught, rallying cry). A mid-rolled Mantra of Flame adds 7 damage per buff so 45.5 fire in total. Compared to a Static Electricity which adds 1.5+5*(dex/10) or 41.5 damage with 80 dex which is easy to get just by smart routing. Mantra of Flame costs 20c for a mid rolled, Static Electricity costs 1c. Quality Molten Strike will buff the fire from MoF more while added lightning lets you shock more reliably and on higher-hp targets.
If you're always running in a group or otherwise have alot of buffs on you Mantra of Flames is clearly better, but in your example they're fairly even, apart from having to spend 19c extra on an MoF.

gonna test a new variant.
lemme know what u think if u add bleeding to the build :D










awesome !

I'm not saying you won't kill stuff, but I don't see it being very effective.

Bleed works best with hard slow physical hits because it does not stack.

yeap, it was a nice try, but the dps is way under my expectations. i would test it again if i get a 20/20 bloodlust. by now i'm gonna move back to the ele dmg set up
