[DEAD in 3.0] DESTROY THE ATLAS! | 2H Dual Warchief Totem

What do you think of using Essence of Delirium on axe-crafting? Would it be any good?

I was thinking of grabbing voidheart + crafting axe before a disfavour.

Thanks!

I don't understand what you are comparing?

Old VH vs. new one?

New VH and Rapid Decay vs Poison gem. lol i thought its pretty clear

OK, I see.

So your line of thinking is - with new VH + Dirty Technique, the chance to actually poison, on bleed, is 65%, as opposed to poison gem 100%. And this, you think, negates the +40% from Rapid Decay?

So in 2 seconds in your example, you'd applied poison, on average, ~10 times.

Let's assume that each hit is 100 damage and 140 with RD. You'd have applied a 1400 damage over the course of 2 seconds + stacks duration overshoot.

If you were to apply poison via support gem, you'd have 15 stacks within the timeframe, thus causing 1500 damage.

Hmm...

I think perhaps RD isn't the best and flat damage like Conc would have been better, as it would triple dip - on melee hit, bleeding, and poison, no?

I can see your point. Perhaps our computations are screwed?

P.S.

Of course, RD affects bleed and fire burning as well... so there is that.

But its not conc vs rd. cause conc is on swap with aoe. Its rd vs maybe added fire or something like culling strike.

I want to try this build out however i think im gonna use cospris will + temp chains blashemy (istead of aa/ashe) for poison and use rapid decay as a 6th link i wonder have you ever tested this setup or have any idea, opinion how it would work?

When people mention there hideout DPS numbers is that while using flasks?

I'm at level 87 and my gems are only a 1/3rd of the way through level 19. I'm sure I'll get a good damage boost once I can get 20% quality on most of them. Do you guys just grind lower level maps to level them up? I've been trying to combine maps to push up to the top tiers of the Atlas. I've completed one Tier 14 so far.

Well, I wanted to open this up for the last 10 pages or so...

I am running

AW + FA + MPD + Added Fire + Melee on Full Life + Poison

I don't feel like AOE really adds that much speed (it does some, sure). And I hate switching.

It would be nice if someone did the comparative calculations, but I fear, since everyone is running 200K... it won't matter much, and only the boss kill is the "problem".

No just with auras and totem. Check my screens for reference

is it really worth is using Voidheart (the legacy version) + rapid decay instead of a good ring + poison support? Because without that ring slot you loose quite some life + resistences (i don't think you'll be able to overcapp resistences for ele weakness maps).
And i don't really like not running with overcapped resis, is the damage boost really so huge to make it worth loosing HP, resis, possibly mana reg??

Playing this build with the intent on killing shaper on ESC. I bricked my first hydra map that dropped, it was hard to dodge, I am bad at video games, and it was super late and i was really tired. Minotaur can be a pain, and i usually die once or twice on him, but it works out. Chimera is the easiest that ive done, the only danger is really hard map mods or getting one shot from add phases. Havent had a phoenix map drop yet, so not sure. I feel like i will brick the first billion shaper sets i try.

I'm currently using this, do you have any suggested upgrade ? Playing on Essence ofc. I have capped resists at Merciless :

76 (103%) Fire Res
75 (89%) Cold Res
75 (107%) Lightning Res
-23 (-23%) Chaos Res

Currently doing only 75k DPS with everything up (Conc Effect/Added Fire Damage) - (Hatred/Herald of Ash/Totem)

And 50k with Area of Effect and Added Fire Damage

You have like 220k?

Let me know. :)

I believe the OP screenshot of dps is with Added Fire instead of Poison. You should run Melee Damag on Full Life instead of Addded Fire Damage. That probably will boost your dps to ~100k. You also want better veruso's, yours have only 8% attack speed or go for some rare gloves if you are not a fan of those gloves. I was buying decent rare gloves with AS, life and one resist and vaaling them. 1 try costs about 1c and 1 vaal and for like 25c and 25 vaal you most likely gona get some vuln on hit that will help you also. Its hard to tell what else you are missing to have more only by gear you showed. Maybe you didn't grab some dps nodes on the tree yet(due to lower level). Maybe you dont have jewels or have crappy. Right now im at 190k conc dps and I dont have like crazy better stuff than you. Certainly not to make 100k dps diffrence.

Edit: Ofc everyone with high numbers plays as Berserker...
