[2.6/3.1] Shaper down on budget 5-link - The Debuffing Pizza (Tri-Curse CI Elementalist Flameblast)

Morning

I just starting to love this build.

I have some noob questions.

Scenario 1:

I have a item with 68% inc. Energy Shield,nothing else.
How does this % apply? To all your gear where you have +xx Energy shield.
Or
Only to your tree.

Scenario 2:

I have a item with %xx inc. energy shield and +5 energy shield.
How does apply.

I know my build lacks still some components gems etc.

I'm cleaning trash very easy but working to one shot bosses.

Scenario 1:
Because you can't get 68% inc ES on ring, I guess it's helmet/gloves/boots/shield/body armor. In that case, only that particular item piece gets the bonus.

Scenario 2:
Same here UNLESS it's a ring. If it is a ring it's "global" and affects all gear and passive nodes. That's why crafting +60% ES to any armor is dirt cheap but crafting +20% ES to ring costs an exalted orb.

What Wermine says is right and in Scenario 2 it´s the + ES comes first.

so if you got a item with 100 ES witch had +100 ES and +100% ES it has 400 ES
((100+100)*2)

Same item with quality 20% has 440 ES ((100+100)*2,2)

Without the + flat ES it would have 200ES (100*2) with quality 220ES (200*2,2)


The Skilltree +%ES effects all ES on gear, so if you got items with a total of 1000ES and +300% ES in the skilltree you got a total of 4000 ES.

i hope this helps

Hey pretty nice and solid build :D

What is the best 6th link for flameblast? I am torn between faster casting/empower lvl 4 and inc burning damage.

Also why did you link VRF to FB? Does VRF's base dmg% gets multiplied by FB's base dmg?

Decimating Breach League with just some minor changes. Couldn't be happier!

@ExilezQ

that´s some nice GG gear.

can you tell your avg.dmg and your ES ?

Did´t you kill all the breachlords already?

Hi,

i don't get the thing with the IC - where do you get the endurance charges from?

You don't need Endurance charges for IC to proc, Endurance charges just extend the duration.

you don´t get them at all. its just for 0.4sec or with inc. Duration for 0,7sec.

For people having problems with leveling or adjusting to the style...

I leveled with firestorm and bladefall totem until 63 when I switched to flameblast. Since I found it to be "clunky" at lower levels I waited until I got all the cast speed nodes and it feels a lot better now. Underleveled, undergeared, no ascendancies and flameblast at level 9 I can reliably farm dried lake and low tier maps and have no problem with breaches there. I also bought a very cheap flameblast with 14% quality on it, helps a lot.

So, in short, if you have problems leveling, just use something else until you get the right conditions.
