Ranger - [2.5 Breach] Just Another HOWA Spectral Throw Build - the same but different - Forum

Hullo! I am trying this build, and I was wondering where I can I make some improvement to DPS and ES. NemesisMaximusOne Gear Spoiler Thanks :D I know I am missing INT on my belt.... Hard to give up those resist. Any Suggestions would be nice!	Posted by GamersAddiction#5616 on Feb 6, 2017, 11:39:47 AM Quote this Post
Throw a couple exalt at your rings and pray for T1 flat es or some res so you can remove the crafted res on your gear and add int instead. I've been having a hell of a time upgrading my gear without having to buy all new pieces. im glad my chest has an open suffix so i can craft whatever res i need, often it's not enough. I'm trying to get to 96 so i can have some flexibility with my tree and possibly pick up another jewel slot for resists. currently at 10.5kes and 55K GMP dps in hideout with just auras no golem.

Hi, I have a question about my "low" dps 48k in ho, this may be because my jewel does not have damage only energy shield and resistances, because in the rest of the build I do not know that change that marks the difference so much. thankyou	Posted by ulthane010#5488 on Feb 7, 2017, 3:00:56 PM Quote this Post

Almost certainly so... but Raider is the most popular HoWA build since it gets status effect immunity and phasing plus very high DPS via Frenzy Charges. As an assassin, you'll need to resolve stun issues, status effect issues, and, depending on how high your DPS gets, you may encounter reflect issues. I've seen at least one very nice Berserker HoWA build... non-crit but extremely high DPS... so, non-cookie cutter HoWA builds can be viable/better than Raider. Raider is a proven HoWA build choice with the most player participation - you can't go wrong with Raider... but if you feel like experimenting, Assassin certainly has the potential for a strong HoWA build - you'll likely need to fine tune the build on your own though due to lack of players pursing this build choice.

Shit news for HoWA! " We had been considering a nerf to Hand of Wisdom and Action. As 2.6.0 will not be getting changes to damage-over-time mechanics (and damage bonuses applying in two ways to some damage over time), we are likely to hold off on major nerfs to this item. While the builds with Hand of Wisdom and Action are incredibly strong, they provide a non-degen counterbalance to the major degenerative builds. As builds relying on damage-over-time will be affected by mechanics changes in 3.0.0, the Hand of Wisdom and Action will likely be nerfed along with them. We are also still working out our plans for Energy Shield and related mechanics (and Keystones). Changes to this defence affect Hand of Wisdom and Action builds significantly, and there may not need to be a nerf to Hand of Wisdom and Action if ES and Vaal Pact based build-options are changed significantly.

Hard to say what will be implemented in the next release. My take on the above: * HoWA will be available next league via the Breach mechanic but will be rarer since breaches will be less common. * HoWA itself will not undergo any changes. * ES will be nerfed. * In order to obtain the same amount of ES in 2.6 as you currently have, you'll need to either have more ES on gear or will need to invest more points on ES in the tree. * The upshot of the above, is that DPS will likely be 10% or so less than it is now as you swap DPS gear for ES gear or swap DPS nodes for ES nodes. We all knew that HoWA was going to be nerfed - the development manifesto indicates that the nerf won't be direct but instead to the ES mechanic.
