[3.0] I Cast Magic Missile! - Cantrip's guide to Ethereal Knives. Rage Mage Edition!

Hey CantripN, thanks for awesome guide and build , here is the showcase of T16 Forge of the Phoenix with 48%max life and -15% max res

Died only once wich was my fault.

I have tried shaper like 6 times with no luck, but each time with better results. The 2 phases were super easy and i died ond 3rd phase when shaper was close to the cull range.

This is my first video. If you wanted more vids on guardians just tell me.

Thanks

@henoxxx1 - GZ on Phoenix kill :). With a few more gear/jewel upgrades and practice, I promise you can do the rest of them and Shaper deathless as well. I'd love to see more vids of how you're doing on high content this league!

Death's Hand as Sceptre and moving with Shield-charge is one option. Or Just using one instead of a Shield...
Gloves with Curse on Hit would add to your Poison Range.
And for a Helm Enchant, I'm pretty sure Curse Effect would add more than the 40% Damage, to either curse. Either that, or Flame Golem effect, which is 30% Global Damage (even if I prefer Stone Golem myself, and that's also a good option).
I also think you'd be even better with all 7% Life Jewels with Proj Damage + 1/2 mods, as that extra Life goes a long way.

Hiya,

Going to be trying this in Breach :) can I ask, does Poison still double dip?

Thanks!

Unless Chris stomps it down in the 2.5 Patch Notes, yup. No changes otehrwise, unless some new uniques appear that are OP.

Great, thanks. I'll update my progress in the thread as the league goes on, hopefully it'll be useful to anyone else wanting to try it.

While tempting, don't you all run and do this on Raider :D

It'll work for sure, but Berserker is still better even if you don't have Frenzy Charges without Blood Rage / Blood Dance.

Few questions:
Why War bringer instead of Cloaked in Savagery especially as an evasion character?
What is so special about the dark seer? Seems like an alright scepter, unless I'm underestimating blind or something.

Going to run this build as a starter in breach, looks good overall.

If you get VP, grab that, sure. But otherwise, you just heal fine at max speed with 3% leech. And this isn't REALLY an Evasion char, it's more like Life+Acro with a bit of Evasion. Healing instantly for 25% of your life and literally ALL your free mana is amazing quite often.

As for Blind, it's AMAZING, and the 90+ MANA ON KILL is HUGE, 50% GLOBAL DAMAGE also affects Poison...

Good luck!

Update for 2.5:

Probably get Vaal Pact now that you can use The Green Dream/Nightmare to sustain Frenzy.


Tree:

My take - I went dual Apep's rage / Essence worm / blood magic keystone deadeye on Breach HC. So far lvl 77, 12K armor, with 6 frenzies 30K DPS tooltip.

Didn't realized that Marauder is so good. Would have started Marauder otherwise.
