[2.6] THE NEW FAKENER | DISCHARGE | SUPER FAST STRANDS | Cospris Malice | 9k+ ES | STILL GREAT AOE

Can someone who was gearing his char recently tell me how much exalt's he put in it to make it work smooths at up to T15's farming?
I chanced Skyforths recently so i gonna have around 40 ex for it + around 10 ex in currency.
Is it enough for this build to destroy maps?

Interesting seeing people ditching elreon rings and respeccing into Mana nodes, not a bad idea at all! Although level 4 Enlighten is pretty expensive.

Would one Elreon ring and a level 3 Enlighten work? (With the mana nodes of course) This seems like the least expensive way to avoid mana problems on an Assassin.

Really I just want to clear T15s and Chayula's Domain easily (Don't care about Guardians). Would the Trickster version be fine for this or would I have to go Assassin?

I still think all of that is re-inventing the wheel. You don't need GG elreon rings to start this build and currency should be flowing in fairly quickly.

If you struggle with making currency, run shaped mesas (cost 1c) and sell the shaped strands that drop (for 3c).

I can see why you think that, and I wondered if I was as well. Now I'm certain; here's the thought process:

1) Additional Accuracy is a great stopgap and relieves needing accuracy on gear. It's also the only skill gem that can be swapped out with tweaks from gear. (ICS, CoC and PCoC are indispensable, maybe Skyforth can replace PCoC.)

2) Does changing out any gem in the 6L add power? Only BV is a candidate (500ms CD, so regular nuke spells won't do much). BV scales with crit, spell crit multi, and most importantly it still grants pretty insane charge generation (like a second cyclone) from BOTH PCoC and Voll's.

3) Both are green which is awesone.

4) You now need t1 accuracy rolls for ring slot - which even without this swap was taking some stats off the char. This is because Elreon rings are iLvl 59 and can't roll T1s. The difference netween t3 and T1 is huge. You may lose up to 50 ES, 60 int, up to 40% resists and up to 300 base accuracy (ballpark).

50 base ES and 60 int more than makes up for 2 points. The Int is 12% alone (and adds mana). The 50 base is almost as much as your Voll's and half your DDoors. 40% resists? Crucial when you lost chest and boots resist. You can craft 30 int on gear instead of resists, maybe - so another 6% node. Throw in flavour prefix like rarity instead for pure bonus.

5) The substitute for Elreon is mana regen rings combined with WL leech.. unfortunately, two skill points into Dreamer is needed to sustain at high QoL. That's cheap considering your gains. Actually, two jewels with 8% max mana will do it, but I'm lazy to roll those.

6) So we picked up additional power and damage from BV, skill points worth of ES and some resists. That's a win in my book.

7) Even if you DON'T buy BV, you can go something crazily defensive. CoC level 20 Molten Shell? Permanent 1.5k physical shield refreshed every 0.5s sounds like a huge safeguard especially against non one-shot mechanics. Vortex for flavour? Or you could run Add Acc still (it puts me at 94% accuracy lol).

That's why I went down this road, everything else in the build seems pretty settled - this was the last bridge to cross.

Just to let everyone know, the latest patch has a bug through which Voll's Devotion doesn't work properly anymore. We don't get Endurance charges when we discharge Power charges at the moment.

Entirely true. Just noticed it, kinda pissed off.

It's fixed now.

For Trickster definitely, for Assassin.. you really want decent/good Elreonrings and a good enough shield + helmet to have enough ES if you wanna do more than mid maps imo.

Try to get a Cospri's, 6l Voll's, Voll's Devotion, the 30% consume enchant on a ilvl84 Hubris (will take some to craft as well), a 500ES+ shield, a +1 belt and Death's Door and take a look at how much is left before you decide and choose between Insanity/Horror gloves. Straight up buying decent Elreonrings costs around 6-10ex each, crafting can be cheaper but it really takes a few to hit a good regal. Keep in mind that you want to get eleweakness capped.

I started Trickster with around 40ex and switched to Assassin with another 15ex investment. I already had decently good Insanity gloves, so that's not counting into it.

(Exalt prices are crashing so take the prices I listed with caution, could be more now.)

Hello Exiles,

Can someone please tell me why i have such a difficult time killing bosses... I just can't do it. some bosses yes, others not even a chance... Clear speed is amazing though t10-t16 is a breeze. This build is simply amazing, but i feel like i'm missing something...

Please critique my gear:



Updates: Will purchase another Elreon Ring soon.
Updates: need one more trial for uber ascendancy.

Thanks,
Adam.

Hello Adam. In order of priority:

1) You're using the wrong Vinktars and by adding lightning damage to your attacks, you're giving the enemy 50% resistance instead of taking 35% away, for a difference of 85% resistance. (elemental equilibrium). Correct this and it should almost double your damage.

2) Helm enchant - don't run discharge on chest until you have the 30% discharge helm enchant, or at least a 20%. You can run with Vortex in the meantime perhaps.

3) Are you switching to Concentrated Effect in your Cospri's for bosses?

4) Quality your Increased AOE gem.

5) Get 21/20 Discharges.

6) HH is great fun but doesn't do much for damage unless it's a +1 End HH. Go for more ES and resists.

Perfect, thank you. If i take out LL in my chest, and go GGGBBB, will that make me stronger? Further, why lvl 1,1,5, in cast when taken damage set up in shield?

Cheers.

Which is better? A +1 ECharge belt with reduced flasks used or a 120 es belt? Both cover my resists. I'm a trickster and don't have death's door yet, though I was going to buy one before ex prices dropped. Could someone check my profile and see what else could be improved? dazenDischarges

What about Skyforth instead of Death's Door? Will it work like that?

Updated Leveling Guide, let me know if theres anything I missed

Holy shit you just made my day, as you posted the leveling update I was wracking my brain and running node placement sims on poebuilder to try to figure out when to add what. Thanks a bunch for making this easier for me as I level lol. I'll let you know if anythings weird as I follow it while leveling now.

Btw I looked at like 4 other skill trees and asked a few people in game about this but what do you think about using intuitive leap on the left side jewel node to pick up the nodes above and below it to save skill points to get the ES under Foresight? All the other builds I've seen do this so I was just curious. PLus I happened to find a leap earlier >.>
