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

"

I'll be interested to see how it goes with Atziri. I have a molten striker doing about 20k dps atmo; I can't see any way that'd get through the Uber DPS check so I'd be surprised, in all honesty, if this build can manage Uber. Guess we'll see!

The original build as I posted is basically a super cheap build to get you to Uber. We may need better gear to Uber but I'm sure it can be done. I have not attempted yet since I get no play time. I am still trying to get masters to level 8 to craft some gear.

Heres's where I'm at.
GEAR:


DPS:
Doing 17.7k tooltip dps w/o Blood Rage, Haste Totem, nor Vaal Haste.
I'm at 10.3 attacks per second w/o any bonuses. I think I hit 13 attacks per second w/ all buffs.
You don't need alot of chaos res for Blood rage. I was at -37 chaos res and I still used it. I just keep potting but the attack speed is well worth it. Attack speed is extra important because of the *more modifier from multistrike.

I got most gems to 20 quality from using a gcp at lvl 20 and just releveled from there. The kill speed is so fast super fast to level gems. I should get some vids soon.

I can't have Blood Rage...
I'm still in Hardcore and the Degen of it, makes my health drops down to low for comfort.

Potting JUST to get back health, means if i POT to much, i wont have pots for immune freeze/bleed/curses...

At 6k life and having max charges with blood rage, my health drops to 3k...
I kill everything real fast with almost 8k dps tooltip. MORE atk speed and life leech for the price of half health...

Not a good idea.


I'm still in Hardcore.... My mind set is NOT to use Blood Rage.

If i were Softcore, i would get Blood Rage.

Man loving this build alot,

Just gotten a new ring and it has 2% Life Leech, you can really feel it. Since we took Blood Drinker node out of the tree, i felt not leeching to much, and Now i just started to realise, 2% if so good

These are the flasks I use. I only use flask #4 to heal while using blood rage. Flasks 1-3 are instant flasks that I use when life goes kinda low. WHen I take a big hit I press 1,2,3, real quick nad I'm back at 100%

Well died at lvl 84 vs devouers one was rare, and facetanked them, insta died 1 hit ko... 6k life.




I finally gotten to that 6% mana reserved, and finally was able to get Herald of ice. which added like 800 more dmg :) running 4 auras was cool,





My gear befoire i ripped.

ToolTip. 8.7k dps close to 6k life (5.8k maybe).



New race comming up, imma rest and work on same build. :)

My gear befoire i ripped.

Dang that stinks. Care to tell what ended up killing you?

I entered a map with a dude, like should of been easy map ...


Been killing devouers on other maps ...

All sudden a "Rare" Devouer pops.. you know the ones with yellow descriptions...

One shots me... like 5.800hp .. 1 hit


My endurance cry... immortal call didnt even pop ...

One hit smack... instant...


So like next time i see devouers.. ill let them attack onces before engaging them ...

Yeah those 1 shots. Strange. I have yet to be 1 shot by any devourer. Been close but never 1 shot I am pretty sure 6k hp is the sweet spot w/ max resists to not get 1 shot.

I was away for a week for work. WIll start back up with my char. still trying to get lvl 8 matsers to craft some gear. GL all. I'll make much more vids once masters lvl 8

In most cases, the build is holding up to my expectations. I haven't been able to find good, fast claws with WED on them or a good necklace so my DPS is really struggling at 2.2k at level 64. Granted, I can facetank probably any mob but it's slow and most Ghosts will have time to run away if there are no rares around.



I've neglected to add the CWDT + Totem + Haste setup though. I'll probably do that today. I was hoping that the 3% overall mana leech would allow me to drop Blood Magic but you were right when saying there is no mana to use for anything. :)

Update: Got two rings with WED on them and shifted the tree slightly and am now at 3.1k DPS.



Update 2: Got more goodies and am sitting at 5.4k DPS which is more comfortable in the high 60s.

I've neglected to add the CWDT + Totem + Haste setup though

I noticed a few things in your setup...

1.) I see your using Hatred. Those claws have a very low physical damage so you will see a much greater benefit from using Anger instead of Hatred. I also see Herald of Ash. Again you should use Herald of Ice over Herald of Ash because HoA is based off physical damage and the claws do very little physical damage.

2.) Your don't have alot of hp on your gear. Scour your 5 link armor and alt it until you get >70hp and a second resist >30. About 60 alts. Then Regal it and hope for a 2nd resist. If Regal is a nasty roll, Scour it and do it again. After you get a decent regal roll craft another resist from masters.

3.) Go on POe.xyz.is and buy a belt for a chaos that have life and dual resists and an open slot to master craft in a 3rd resist.

4.) Any attack speed you get is basically doubled from multistrikes "more" multiplier so high speed on claws is more important than having damage. Just do a search on poe.xyz.is and find claws with > 22%ias. You want speed, weapon ele dmg, crit chance, crit multiplier on claws more than actual damage mods, because instead of each claw having its own ele damage, both will scale all the other damage from gear and auras instead of each seperate attack. Think outside the box.

5.)I dig those boots man those are awesome. I'd 20% quality those.

1) Yeah, I actually didn't think about swapping out Hatred. Right now, I'm using Herald of Lightning + Wrath + Hatred but I'll see about getting Anger in place unless Herald of Ice is a viable choice as you mentioned.

2) Yeah. My chest is positively awful but I ran our of orbs to scour it. Believe it or not, that's the best roll I got out of about six scouring attempts. Go figure, I have tons of alchemy orbs to use when I feel like buying or finding more scours.

3) A good idea. I have a pretty decent belt which I could use in place of it even though I have 130% fire, 127% cold, and 93% lightning resist. I'll see what I can get with WED, more health, and extra goodies.

4) I haven't had much luck finding good IAS claws on poe.trade. I might have to venture in to crafting a pair from scratch as you mentioned in the front page guide.

5) If only they were 30%!

Also, general gear update to give an idea of my progress.



I found that Intelligence sort of crept up on me (but that could be due to my aura mistake) and I hope to further fine tune some of those awkwardly rolled slots like ring #2.
