Here is the ranger one :)

Regarding the golem on left click in order to save hotkeys:

Some of you may find this helpful -- auras do not have to be set to individual hotkeys to be maintained. For example, pick one of your hotkeys and assign it to an aura you want to run (aura 1), then activate the aura. Now, reassign that same hotkey to your next aura (aura 2) and activate. Notice, aura 1 and 2 are both active despite reassigning the hotkey.

I do this every time I log in, running clarity, haste and AA. I then reassign the aura hotkey to Vaal lightning trap. This may create an small inconvenience in resetting auras (on login, death) but can save TONS of hotkeys!

Hope this is helpful.


Also, thanks for this guide. It was very helpful in planning my build (non-MF CA). It's a ton of fun and safe when played properly -- currently grinding the tsc ladder.

Did I miss something in the resent changes or did I made a terrible mistake somewhere? A L86 Shadow equipped with +2 and CA(19) + RD (19) + VM (19) + CE (17) I get only 1.5K damage (no golem no frenzy). Is that how it supposed to be?
I'm using those gems:


Thanks,

Maybe i missed something, but i have a question. What about Perandus Blazon Cloth Belt? Should i use while mapping or not? Why?

Thanks,

No, but my guess is you're just misreading the tooltip. Remember, you're looking for the expanded tooltip, not the normal place you look for dps.



Notice how it says 1.8k dps, which is probably where you're looking. But you need to look in the expanded section, where it says "Deals 15482.3 chaos damage per second."

That's our tooltip for this build.

8% quantity versus 100 life + 189% (with life on all jewel sockets except Poachers) = 289 life, and the ability to get tri-resistance rather than the single paltry 20% fire you get off Blazon.

This build isn't about going full-tilt MF. It's about a balance between survivability, damage, and MF.

If you're using Blazon, there's no way that you're getting res capped without at least one Purity, meaning Grace has to get dropped.

Do u know if it applies to auras aswell? Or just Golem's? :)

Doesn't work for rallying cry or auras, but DOES work for Frenzy. The danger of course being you may want to click away to run, click on a mob, and get stuck. Hence, golems. That doesn't occur.

That was embarrassing, I don't know how I missed that!
Another question if you please; Do you think adding contagion to CWST would be a good option?

Thanks again,

It's a pretty common oversight. No need to be embarrassed. It's one of few builds where you have to look elsewhere for your damage values.

I'm not even sure that'd work (re:contagion) because CA is a ground effect, rather than direct damage, but besides, the cloud radius beats the contagion radius. Not required, when there are other, more valuable things to have in the link setups.

Welp.

Time for another profile pin.
