[2.6] Elemental Flicker Strike, Terminus Est [Pathfinder].

Edit: Before you read this build, you should know that i already tried Uber atziri/shaper and its not viable or just i lack the mechanical skills needed to defeat them, but feel free to give the build a try if you would like to. Uber Atziri video is down there.

Hello, its my first build here, but i think its worth to share with you all. Here we go:

Its not a cheap build, but honestly, what is cheap in this game?. So here we go with the required uniques:



A normal coil is enough, you dont need 6 link, i was clearing t15 maps with 5 linked terminus. So thats basically the core of the build. For Boots aim for a rare ones with life good resists, and mov speed if posible. Gloves, you should try to aim for elemental weakness on hit curse gloves with some good stats, its not mandatory, but makes a difference. In the case u find the gloves, u would need a +1 to curse the way u get it, its up to you. Just remember you need good flat life to reach a minimum of 5k life pool. For belt u need Life + WED + Phys dmg + good resists. Rings and amulet same as the belt, i will link my gear below so you can see it better. Note: as you lvl up gems, you may notice that you need more intelligence, in that case you need int on your rings, amulet, gloves, boots or even jewels.



I use two terminus est, one for single target, one for destroying packs.






Idea of the build:



Flasks to use:



Ascendancy + Bandits

Path of Building Damage Calculations (When everything procs):



Defensive stats:



To finnish the guide, here some proves i did Guardians and got to try shaper and uber atziri:



Uber Atziri run (Failed), but still worth watching, so you can judge if the build has potential to finnish her, i think it has the potential, but i lack mechanical skills

What did you prioritize on jewels (besides life, ats or phys damage?) And is the amulet for a specific reason, aside from the extra curse? Seems to be way more than enoguh crit chance without, and you could use a crit/crit multi/life ammy instead.

On jewels, its depending on how good is your gear, what are you missing the most and what do you feel the character needs. I use 4. 3 of these jewels with 7% life and phys dmg/crit multi, resists and 1 with +2 mana gain on hit to sustain better the mana. I used this Amu, because when i was building the character, i was missing crit chance, but you can feel free to use a rare one with great stats. Try to aim for crit chance/multi, flat life, resists only if u still missing some.

Hello ^_^,

Currently trying this build out on my char Gilgs_FlickOfDahFlask



Just hit level 68 and bought these two, couldn't get a rustic sash with good resists.

Wondering how you capped your resists with lightning coil?

Also gonna divine that terminus later on, I just got it six linked for cheap so I took it. Abyssus is a hand-me-down from a facebreaker shield charger with no crit chance multiplier so I will be getting a higher crit chance abyssus as well.


Also, can't seem to get this build to work on path of building, can you generate a code if you use it? is green dream placement up by the fire/lightning res by the marauder life nodes?

Hello :p

Well, leather belt is also good, you will have some extra hp (but ur life roll is not that good to be a leather belt). That said, I capped my resists using good rares, Boots, Gloves, Amu and 2 rings. I think it can be still easy to cap buying decent gear, at a good price, obviously to do it, you should babysit the trade for few days and check prices. Now it can be quite expensive due to this change in the economy this league, but still doable.

The green dream placement is in the Scion jewel spot, which is located next to the nodes that are giving us 10 to all resists plus, 18% lightning and 18% cold resists. It's giving us a 28% chance to gain frenzy charge on kill. If you feel like you need resists, you can use resist jewels with 7% inc hp.

Path of Building Code:



Thanks for trying out my build. :D

Yeah, I think it gives a total of 86 life, could be much higher but with the combined high implicit and mid-tier roll it gives a decent amount of life for a starter belt, was really worried about resists because I played an abby character and I couldn't imagine not being capped xD

Also would steel rings with wed increase damage? I was thinking of trying to craft steel rings with high implicit, +phys, +wed and +life.

Also just got my green dream =D

Edit:

Also do you use harmony and are you still capped for the +1 curse? Do you need the stat rolls on your rings as well? Gonna put gearing on hold until I get a good grasp of where I can take the character so your guidance would be appreciated =D

Actually when i started to buy gear, i was looking for steel rings, but early in the league they were like 30c just the base so it was unreachable to me, or just i had other important gear to buy, but the answer is: if you can afford it go for it.

Dont worry about resists, if you manage to buy decent rares you will reach the overcap easy, in the case you dont, you can use resist/hp jewels to fix the resists you need. Good job about the Green Dream :p.

Yes, I am using the gear that i linked plus the jewels i use which give me some resists. My Cold and lightning resists are actually hitting 98% in merciless so i am overcapped at 98% making viable to use The Wise Oak. The perfect rings for this build, would be Steel rings with max flat phys roll, decent hp, decent wed, plus some resists. I am pretty sure you will need some resists in your rings, but it will depend on how are you building up the resists.

To be honest i would first try to get the core items, Terminus est, abyssus, lightning coil (these are the core items of the build, from this point is up to you how you build the char). Then ur next goal should be to buy a nice gloves with ele weakness on hit, remember that if you buy a gloves with nice resists, you will reach the cap even easier than me, mine only give 20% fire resist. If you find a good gloves, then try to find a decent amu with +1 to curse, the stats for the amu, aim for crit chance, life, crit multi, flat phys, some resists, if the amu is having +1 to curse plus 2 or 3 stats described here then i think is enough (to use +1 to curse and ele weakness is optional, but its giving us like 400k dps). Then, once you have the gear that you wont change and is hard to find, i advice you to start buying nice rare items (Boots first, and then the rings or in case you dont go dual curse, buy first the gloves/boots and then rings and amu) gloves and boots must have great hp and great resists, if you go for ele weakness gloves and u decide to be flexible and buy one similar like mine, then u will have to focus harder on resists in other items. Try to overcap your resists at the same % and then you are practically finnished. In case you decide to not go dual curse, it will be a lot easier for you to overcap resists plus you can have a lot more hp, because its really hard to find the corrupted items we need with good hp roll. So, its up to you how you really want to build it, tankier or heavier dps. If you can do both, then both (might be really hard and expensive).

Thank you ^_^,

Will keep you posted, so far love the build though. Going to get all my gear sorted and then get my ascendancy done!

EDIT:

Also when you get a chance can you post a screenshot of your defenses in the main post? Would help a lot ^_^

You are welcome. :D

I am glad you love it, cant wait to see your progression. By the way, in case you havent noticed yet, i just uploaded and edited the guide with Uber Atziri video even i failed, i think this build has the potentital to finnish her, but my mechanical skills arent good enough.

Sure, let me take a screenshot and i will add it. My bad, i forgot about defenses.

So here's what I ended up with





Not the best but not the worst, also did my first two labs but couldn't kill merc izaro with 2k hp :P Gonna get to around 80 and try again.

Uber atziri is definitely possible by the looks of it though!

Edit:

Also my boots are being stubborn is why they'r not linked or colored properly.
