Duelist - [3.17] For Slayer / Champion - Ngamahu Cyclone / Consecrated Path / Tectonic Slam - Forum

Probably a dumb question, but I would appreciated some insight. I Have all suggested gear/flasks, so this relates to gem quality. Had enough currency from a past build to purchase all the gems for the axe/ armor at around 10% quality. Is it worth it to burn an exalt to get ~90 or so gemcutter's prisms to get every gem in the build to 20/20. 90 would do so. Alternatively, should I continue to save to 6L my carcass. I suppose I'm wondering if the benefits of 20/20 gems outweigh the 6L upgrade. As I can afford the gem upgrade now, but am still pretty far off from affording 6L or the fusings required. Thanks in advance. Last edited by tlambert01588#1273 on Apr 20, 2017, 5:56:11 PM	Posted by tlambert01588#1273 on Apr 20, 2017, 5:54:59 PM Quote this Post

You skipped out on a lot of health nodes. You're missing about 93%(along with +40 flat life) life increase. For molten burst you took added fire, and you have The taming, however on the primeval force cluster, you took the top two, instead you should take the bottom two to compliment the ignite ring and added fire gem. If not, then swap out added fire damage for elemental focus + different ring and keep the 2 nodes(top side)at the primeval cluster. Get a basalt flask. It's cheap and effective. To add to what @Hitoseijuro said, you need a Ruby flask to handle single elemental reflect mob or you will 1 shot yourself when you run into them. Your gears are missing armour from gloves, belt (rolled really well so you can certainly keep this) and boots. You can consider picking up Iron Reflexes to compensate. You need at least 3000 armour without flask for the build. Consider rolling anti-shock on your life flask, anti-freeze on your quick silver flask and anti-curse on your basalt flask. _____________________________________________________________________________ " Pheu wrote: Spoiler Rarity: Unique Ngamahu's Flame Abyssal Axe -------- Two Handed Axe Quality: +20% (augmented) Physical Damage: 236-356 (augmented) Critical Strike Chance: 5.00% Attacks per Second: 1.38 (augmented) Weapon Range: 11 -------- Requirements: Level: 70 Str: 128 Dex: 111 Int: 108 -------- Sockets: R G-B R R-G -------- Item Level: 71 -------- 222% increased Physical Damage 10% increased Attack Speed 50% of Physical Damage Converted to Fire Damage Damage Penetrates 20% Fire Resistance 20% chance to attack with Level 16 Molten Burst on Melee Hit -------- "The Karui savages claim the weapon was forged by their fire god.

I tried Uber Atziri but even mobs kills me. T15 maps are fine, Guardians are out of range right now, I just don't do damage to Phoenix. New player, I don't want to become rich or anything, my goal is just to kill the shaper! To link gears in your post: - open a post reply - click on your profile at the top left of the page - click on the gears you want to link - click [x] when done You need at least 6000 life and 3000 armour for end game content. Your gloves can roll attack speed instead of strength. As to not able to do damage to Phoenix, your gears generally look okay and you shouldn't have issues handling Phoenix. Did you roll a map with: - enfeeble curse - unique boss has increased life % - elemental equilibrium - 40% elemental resistance _____________________________________________________________________________ " Pezonautis wrote: I am currently using Blood Rage on this build, what are your thoughts guys? You can certainly use Blood Rage. If you use Xoph's Blood, you won't benefit from the life leech but you will still benefit from the attack speed and frenzy charges. :) _____________________________________________________________________________ " tlambert01588 wrote: Probably a dumb question, but I would appreciated some insight.

Thanks in advance. I would suggest to go for 6L chest first. For 20% quality gems, you can always go for vendor recipe (level 20 gem + 1 gcp gives you a level 1 and 20% gem). This is what I do in SSF to get my gems to 20% quality.	Posted by kira1414#3753 on Apr 20, 2017, 11:25:01 PM Quote this Post
Yesterday I decided to give Ngamahu's Axe a go. Even with not so optimized gear and a skill tree that doesn't fit well, the damage output is quite nice. I will try to fit in somewhere Moltenstrike as Singletarget skill. Tree - My Tree is still not respeced, this comes today. Maybe. █▀▀▌ █▌█▀▀▀ █▀▀▌█▄░▌ █▀▀█ █▌▀▀▀█ █░░▌█▀▌▌ █▄▄▌ █▌█▄▄█ █▄▄▌█░█▌	Posted by eviL_Bison#4015 on Apr 21, 2017, 1:48:46 AM Quote this Post

Am i doing it right? :) Spoiler Thanks for the blood rage suggestion Kira! Someone wanna calculate my total dps from cyclone and molten burst? twitch.tv/VtuberLunartuna Last edited by Lunartuna#7274 on Apr 21, 2017, 8:14:10 AM	Posted by Lunartuna#7274 on Apr 21, 2017, 8:04:46 AM Quote this Post
It looks right tho. Path of Building says 230k DPS without Molten Burst. This includes End Cry, Blood rage, Warchief Harald of Ash and Flamability. 235k with wise oak. (I bet thats more) Or Fire Res isn't your highest res. 258k with wise oak and ruby. (yep that sounds a way better) If I take everything in account what I can think off, you are at about 490k deeps without molten burst. Assuming 4 frenzy charges. Its 466k with 3 frenzys. Against normal mobs without any dmg reduction mods. An average Molten Burst hit is 49k. lol. Here's a little overview from Path of Building. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1716360 Does this answers your question? I'm impressed btw! █▀▀▌ █▌█▀▀▀ █▀▀▌█▄░▌ █▀▀█ █▌▀▀▀█ █░░▌█▀▌▌ █▄▄▌ █▌█▄▄█ █▄▄▌█░█▌	Posted by eviL_Bison#4015 on Apr 21, 2017, 8:38:49 AM Quote this Post
Awesome! Thanks for doing that! Edit: Squeezing out every last drop of dps... more molten burst!
