@Damier , I see why poison is superior now, after research on wiki, new poison mechanic is stack @ 10% of chaos/phys damage as chaos damage over time. And there is no stack limit too. So boss fight will hit harder as more hit on boss. Thanks for the confirmation.

Also for uber fight is vaal pact a must?

It was like that in Talisman already making it just incredibly powerful.

I dont think vaal pact is a must but it enables (at least myself) to just tank through a lot of things (like standing in the black mist @ Trio while nuking or sustaining the ball lightning damage by double vaal while nuking as well).

You can do it with or without it, i always prefer to use it though.

so lucky, just hit my second +1 gem facebeaker.



How about a empower 4 + 21/20 HoI + Enlighten 3/4 + Wrath , then go manual AM.

Well i dont see myself casting AM all the time BUT if you really would want to push it to the limit why not going:

Empower 3/4 + Enhance 3/4 + Wrath + Herald of thunder resulting in best case scenario:

64 Lightning damage from 21Wrath to 24
24 Lightning damage from Herald of Thunder from 21 to 24
12% Lightning damage from 16% Quality from Enhance level 4 on Herald of Thunder.

For Mapclearing obv. Herald of Ice is somewhat better but i mean then again you ll only benefit from the Empower for Wrath. I dont see that being worth that high investment.

Mana reserve is another issue. :(

Why? You got Manaissues with your current pool? The Manareservation of HoT and Wrath doesnt increase with level. Only the int. requirements increase from 155 to 159 from 20 to 21, 21 to 2x doesnt have any impact on that.

@Damier,

hi, tried once uber, didnt manage to pull it down, because i got hit twice by oversoul's ball lightning, ran out of portal..

I'm a Scion, berserker/Assassin, dropped my chain for Pierce gem to get the more damage from the gem and i think it works quite well, not too sure if i should take down the cwdt IC which only last for 0.4sec(although it worked good as a reminder for me to move around), but bad thing is, i ran out of socket for frenzy.

current dps sitting at 73k LA, 57k BR.

can you please give me some comment on my gear, gem choice and tree below?



Gear


Tree

The int given by Atziri's Acuity is so good. No INT requried on gear or jewels. I am over INT requriements by 50 now. I'll have to look into changing my ring and amulet for ones with no int in exchange for something better. Plus Vaal Pact no longer needed means I can sustain blood rage way better.

Gear:



I am so close to 5k life. I also need to hit lvl 3 empower on gloves.

So aMIgolala,

As requested.

First of all, your numbers seem to be very alright for Uber. Depends on your HP ofc. as well, but usually with 4.4-4.5 you def. should be able to do it smoothly. I dont use Frenzy for Uber.

However, For Double Vaal i suggest taking a topaz flask with you. For Trio and Atziri herself i use Basalt and Quartz.

Concerning your Tree: As i mentioned in the previous posts Dodge is superb. For real, after picking the 3 dodge nodes after Acrobatics made everything so much smoother and safer overall. So you might want to concider that. Also you might want to pick at least 1 or 2 Frenzy charges. The easiest way for that would be removing the projectile damage from the ranger and maybe 1 crit multi node from scion or the 4% ias 10% proj. node from ranger as well which i however concider to be strong.

Concerning your Gear

Weapon: 6L obviously, Rolls are fine for now.

Chest: You might want to try to get higher Life/Resists overall. Don't focus too much on Evasion, since it's entropy based (look up the wiki what i mean by that). Your actual Chest is fine if you dont feel like resists and/or Life are the issue for you right now.

Gloves and Helmet are alright, if you rather feel like struggling with single target DPS then you def. should stick to the BR enchant rather than going with the LA one. However, since you lack the enchant and the deadeye ricochet node you might want to concider picking Chain again over Pierce. Being Berserker should actually dont give you any troubles with mapclearing.

Gloves: As already mentioned previously couple of times, Facebreakers with +1 to all gems are insane if you already have some solid critchance(Oh and they should be 3B1G or 4B in terms of sockets if you concider to get some). Other than that, i dont see any reason to upgrade yours for now.

Belt: Solid Life, good (T1) WED roll, 64% Resists. The Resists are a bit lackluster, but for now i dont think you will get a good upgrade for cheap.

Boots: Solid Liferoll, 30% MS, 100+ Resists. You will want to have T1 Life (80+) with around the same resists in the future. However, i dont think your boots are the weak spot for now. The enchant is really the best one for Uber btw.

Quiver: Try to get a quiver with Samelife or slightly Higher (80+ for T2 or 90+ for T1), 30+ WED, flat lightning damage around 1-2X (can be T2 or T1) Crit Multi and Critchance. Or if you cant find any with that budget, try to get at least 3 of those damage stats alongside the Life. Attackspeed is a nice to have stat which you shouldnt stack heavily since we already run a low manapool and the Attackspeed just makes it depleting faster. However having the iAS on the boots with the "have killed recently" enchant is good since it's for clearing anway.

Rings: Pain Gyre is actually solid, Blood loop is alright already, you re missing the combination of both damage stats on both of your rings (Flat lightning damage and WED 31+) 3rd priority is Life alongside with Resists which you need to cap yours. Dont focus to heavily on getting a diamon ring base, it is a nice to have.

Amulet: Well the base is bad again and you will have to juggle around as soon as you choose to upgrade your gear. However the stats it has, are actually really solid (good Life, High Crit and Multi and the crafted lightning damage) It's missing WED obviously to be quadfecta but at least the lightning damage suffix is not completely wasted.

Conclusion: Overall it will take you some investment to upgrade your gear, i havent seen your jewels, which also provide a huge boost towards DPS. Dont forget that resulting issues with INT in case you try to swap some slots can be solved by jewels as well for the time being (or simply a talent point with +30 Int)

If you got any further Questions, feel free to ask :-)

Thanks for helping so thoroughly, Damier!

I know, a lot of the other posts you adressed to others apply to me as well, but I'm just not really sure where I should start upgrading my gear. What needs replacing the most and how to go at it, you know.
Would you mind taking a look and telling me where to start? I feel like I really lack defenses, but it could also be because of the pretty low level...
