Iron Will non-crit arcer (Talisman SC)

Wow that's awesome! What lvl are you? Life/armor?
impressive man, link to your skill tree?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding game mechanics, but wouldn't you want the repentance gloves for this? Is iron will in the gloves only applied to stuff linked in the gloves? What would you socket for your 5th link if you used the gloves.

currently sitting at 39k dps with this gear.



+ 5 nice jewels with atleast 3 dmg stats. I still need a 21 gem (i vaaled 6 of them but didnt get a 21 one) so this should be at 40k+ dps in the end. The new lightning flask that gives flat lightnign to spells (drops form the new thunderboss) should also be AMAZING for this build.


Build is great so far except singletarget is a bit low. For Atziri i have to switch to storm call.

Not sure if i should use a doryanis belt. Would give quite a bit of leech and ligtning damage but i would lose a huge amount of life, and the atziri flask + warlords mark are already giving a good amount of leech

Btw im at almost 800 STR and the unique scepter that gives dmg per strength is 2000 dps worse than my wand so you will probably need 1000 STR or more for it to be better than a wand like that.


Impressive stuff, seems that castspeed (I have none on my jewellery) has really pushed you over the top in terms of dps, along with damage jewels. 6l Helps too I'm sure!
How are you finding sustaining mana?
I'm probably being a bit stubborn with the Doon, for thematic reasons. My off hand sceptre almost certainly does more damage than it does (bit more spell/elemental damage than your wand, bit less flat).

Its for the whole character, but im not sure if i like the gloves because

1. they have no strength on it
2. no resists
3. no life
4. they give -30% spell damage

But if you use them i guess the best gem instead of iron will would be added lightning damage?


It's 0 to -30, not a flat -30. You're essentially trading life for damage since you will easily be able to cap resists elswhere. It's not uncommon for uniques to trade survivability for damage. In general this build feels overly tanky, it spawned from a HC player.

What do people think about taking more witch nodes for damage? What would you sacrifice for it first?

Mana is no problem...just make sure you dont play curse immunity maps without a mana flask ;)

Cast speed is very important on jewels. Currently using these:


Those are some insane jewels - I haven't had much luck with a 6L or those jewels. Awesome finds!
Your chest piece is crazy good, I can't find anything like that. Jewels are top notch as well.
Do you think it's worth (for the time being) sacrificing my armour for a 5L lower armour/ES to use arc-iron will-lightning pen-controlled destruction-echo? Would the syngergy outweigh the loss in armour?



Ive used about 200 chromes to see if I would by chance get a 4B 1R, and no luck so I've given up lol.

No FC with spell? Is your cast speed fast enough? controlled destruction is my last link because without either FC or Echo, my mobility is lost. I'd suggest going for an armor/ES chestpiece until you have 100s of chromes to use to get 4B on an armor. Who knows - you may find a better chest.
Tried both FC and controlled destruction in the 5L, and controlled destruction was substantially better in regard to clear speed, mana preservation, and tooltip DPS.

Koksii, did you craft that armour? Also, how do you like Doryani's belt vs the higher str/life belt you were using before?

Here's my current setup with gear...5.95k life, 20.2k tooltip arc dps.

Gear



Obviously, the chest piece is what I'm targeting to upgrade ASAP. So difficult to find a decent chest for iron will, without sacrificing too much armour.

Suggestions are appreciated.
