|
Hi guys first of all , excuse my english , thats not my 1st language , but i will try my best to explain my problem
i'm pretty new to the game , and im following this guide step by step . im level 82 now But when i read some replies there i think i'm missing something somewhere . Some of u guys are aroud 10k dps or more and can " tank " T10 maps . Actually i'm doing some T5/T6 and merciless lab runs alone , but sometimes i take some really hard hit ( i dont care about diying since im in SC but still ) With Hatred / herald of ash and fire golem im at 6589 dps in my H/o and EQ skill is at 25k So i think i need to look for some stats that i dont have . here is my current gear :
Spoiler
and also my skill tree If u guys can tell me how to get more Dps i will be awesome . Last edited by Ebryd971#4517 on Mar 24, 2016, 10:01:44 AM

So, what are your opinions on Lightning Coil vs Kaom's Heart?
Lightning Coils mitigation is overall great, but the -60 lightning resistance is quite hard to make up for possibly resulting in worse gear in other slots since you have to prioritize lightning resistance. Also, the ascendancy expansion introduced quite a few new mechanics for mitigating physical damage. We already have permanent fortify, high armour (around 10k or higher without flasks) and there is also the new basalt flasks giving 20% physical damage reduction. All this gives a lot of physical damage mitigation but is it enough for high tier maps? If it's enough mitigation maybe Kaom's Heart would be the better choice since life helps against all damage sources, not just physical. And the loss of sockets doesn't matter at least for me. Not to mention you don't have to worry about making up for that loss of lightning resistance. But I haven't had the chance to try out both so I'm really not sure what the better choice is. What are your opinions? |

Went from LC to Kaom's and haven't looked back. If you won't miss the slots I think it's the better option.

" I dont really see any major problem in your equip, except i'd rather use less duration in 5L, replace the added fire. |

" Try replacing Added fire damage with Less duration in your 5-link Earthquake. Decreasing the delay for the earthquake is very important, as it allows more earthquakes in a shorter time. |
|
" We discussed this a few pages back. I am on team Kaom's but the consensus of the people on the forums was that Lightning coil is the superior choice. Don't think there is a right answer here. |

Just givin some love to the build, REALLY liking it so far, although i really cannot make up my mind between the two armors haha, i loved the "lazy" feeling of not having to do anything for Endurance charges haha :P |
|
" Well , there is one . how can i reach the 10k dps , and 40k dps on earthquake ? The goal is not to sit on something like this , i want to be ... OP as fuck ^^ |

" the only major drawback of kaom's is its lack of sockets, but if you can do without it, i would suggest using kaom's instead of coil, since its far superior life pool gives you significantly better protection vs elemental and DoT attacks than coil, not to mention higher life regeneration rate due to higher life pool, as i mentioned few pages back. i have several exalts to spend, and i am thinking about buying kaoms to try it, but would need to rearrange my 4L setups, to use it. so far, with little over 7k life with coil, i can solo up to tier 14 maps with semi- to dangerous mods (well, i solo all content so far anyway), and didn't have huge problems so far, except for some bosses (conservatory, excavation) when i need to tp out or recharge flasks to come back to combat. "How come only evil forces were released?" - "Because there are no good forces." "So, then. You don't believe that there is a God." - "There was a god." "Well, then. Where is he now?" - "I killed him," said Kane. Last edited by k4n3#0976 on Mar 25, 2016, 3:47:32 AM

I havnt seen ppl talking about armor vs evasion on this build. Obviously we're getting alot more armor. But that will only give you so much because of diminishing returns. I guess there is a reason we arnt getting iron reflexes. Ultimately, the question is how much armor/evasion would be optimal?
