[2.6] CRIT HoWA BF/ST Raider [13k ES, 60k BF/265k GMP ST DPS, Stun-immune] [4 sec Chayula kill]

Hello there! I am afraid i need your guidance again.
I recently have bought Skyforth, and after respeccing these 11-ish points (playing ST version) I've got less DPS and less ES overall, it went down by like 15%. Any idea how can i fix the tree / gear?




I am at 6.88k ES and 88.6k DPS in hideout right now.

Hi, I want to try this but I never go es/ci before. 900 es 6l vaal regalia is a bit expensive for me atm so I wonder: what kind of es gear I need to clean t10/t15 decently? especially for the armor

Hey squiggle! I think I know why your DPS seems lacking atm. You're actually using the ST tree even though you're using BF. with regards to your gear, the easiest ones to upgrade look to be the gloves and helm. Your belt is really nice and is also asking for a +ES craft.



Well, color me retarded. I just respecced and I jumped to about 14k with increased aoe. I'm going to try to quality everything now, i'm only 87 though.

is Uweavering Stance worth that 7 point traveling?

how about using valyrium or chayula and spending that 7 points on dmg or es nodes, woudln't that give more then ring/amulet?

Does Bladeflurry still work well with this build?

hi guys,im playing non-crit st build atm,and i wonder if this crit version gonna be alot better?(for lsc)
and if yes what i need to change in my gear then for crit version.

I currently only have a 720 ES regalia, and a 270 ES hubris, both much lower than I would like, im sitting at 9.3k with discipline, this has been enough ES for me to do every guardian, shaper and uber atziri (farmed all 3, and not having many issues if I play properly). Red maps are a joke I kind of just 1 shot everything and bosses melt way too fast to ever be a threat

As Invalesco said in his original post, it isn't necessary. Don't use Valyrium, it is already difficult to cap resists and having the -40% to Cold doesn't help. A rare ring/ammy with WED/INT/Acc/Resists > Chayula/Valyrium for this build, you will lose a huge chunk of damage should you drop it.

What's the best build for this as of now BF or ST? im torn between the two i love both skills i just want the better one at this point
.

i like the detailed explaination in the faq for going crit, but also take into consideration that ele overload receive an extra gem slot, since you dont need Increased Critical Strikes. so the trade off for going crit would be 40% more damage + extra skill gem (faster attack/added lightning) + a few extra skill node.
