[3.0 SC/HC] Aixx's indepth HoWA ST Raider Guide ♣ [ Shaper | Guardians | U. Atziri ]
" Hey theoc86, thank you for this nice comment! :) Your gear is really good and you should be able to kill almost everything deathless. Things you could improve are: get claws with 12% int and gloves with attack speed for example, but even without that you should be more than strong enough. Can you tell me more about your deaths, please? like where do you die and to what? | |
" Ah thats good then i know it must be my play style i still have a lot to learn, i failed shaper got to the last stage with all portals but still managed to fail. guardians can catch me out sometimes like chimera if i cant find him in the clouds quick enough or even the mino if he does his burrowing thing. i think my issue is mainly when im not leeching i die quick and maybe sometime tanking when i should move so ill keep working on it. my dps still seems far behind yours but i guess i still got some levels to do to catch up. Thanks again Aixx! #StandardLivesMatter

Got a bit bored of my Ancestral Warchief dude, will try your HOWA build, seems fun, great, detailed info!

I'll post here my final thoughts with this build seeing beta is coming.
I can say I've min/maxed it almost to the 100%, got 40/40 chall and level 100. Current gear :
Spoiler
Current stats in ho with auras ( HoT + Discipline + Wrath ) + Lightning Golem Dps with GMP : 73'5 k / 95% chance to hit / 4.85 aps Dps with SP : 125 k Resistances : 143 /143 / 143 Mana : 1901 / 247(free) ES : 11.202 Dps Fully buffed with auras , golem , totem, vaal haste and flasks : 289 k with gmp , 493 k with sp. "Theorical" improvements I could make : better left ring = +2 k dps Eyes of the greatwolf ammy with % atributes + % lightning damage = +insane gain of dps ( 5-6 k dps? maybe more) - discipline + empower 4 = +3'5 k dps ( I tried this one but I lost 1'8 k ES so not worth it with my gear, maybe with insane 950 ES Regalia + 500 Hubris it would be best option ) 40% spec throw enchant = + 4 k dps? . This option is only viable if u dont use discipline aura So my guess is that with perfect gear + perfect quad gems this build could get around 90-95 k dps , but I dont have the patience to test it out considering the big nerfs that are coming. If someone wants to ask something about my particular HoWa build i'll check this thread , u can check my profile or u can pm me ingame. Kudos to Aixx for the detailed guide he made here !

So my DPS doesn't seem to be even close to what is posted. I know my gear is far from perfect, but would perfect gear from where I am now really double my dps?

Hi Aixx!
Began to play your build, 82 lvl. Faced the problem of mana... Do you really need to use a mana flask when you use Spectral Throw? I watched your videos and your mana had time to make up for it | |
|
Also had massive mana issues, so I just socketed a mana leech gem in tabula, not a big fan of mana flasks, worked well, after I substituted it for a passive, will see how it goes further, atm only lvl 74 ish, and breaches are a pain to deal with.
