[3.6] Milky's Scorching Ray Totems (updating process)

Hey man,

Thank you for the build. It's worked well for me in my first league and I'm excited to see the additional information you'll add.

thank you very much :)

currently working on it in my freetime.

Just added gems to the gemsection for a better visualisation (those extra letters per gempost didnt work for me).

Next step are the items ;)

I wanna finish most of it before the 3.0 beta is up, then i can concentrate on a 3.0 section and have a good base for a whole 3.0 overhaul once everything is set in stone

thx for really good detailed build, will be glad to try this) Can i make it shaper viable with ~10 ex?

Thanks for the detailed guide, i made this char on a fresh SSF start to keep the game fresh and this build is a breath of fresh air, really powerful once you get going. A well thought out guide, so thank you again OP.

if you take a look at my gear, remove tukohamas fortress and use a 5 link soulmantle you're below 2ex.

switch tukohamas with a random shield or 2nd doryanis and its fine.

the 6 link and tukohamas make offensive no big difference on shaper!

HOWEVER you need practice with the fight to do well.

I personally was bad at the fight and ripped 2 sets and needed 5 runs to do it deathless. Thats the case with a non VP 12k+ es 100ex build that cannot facetank anything ;)

now i am comfortable enough to do it with a very low budget on day 3-4 in a league if i have enough playtime to farm the sets :)

I will write a shaper guide in the next days once i have the time for it.

Have to say I like this build so much and your guide..
After a reset with my marauder I switched back to this :)

Epic Guide and so effective build, so damn effective.
To have high life pool and lot of dmg is not common^^ (for me atleast)

Hope this thread gets big as before :D cheers!

Thank you guys for the kind words.

The next things on my list to improve the guide:

- Finish the Gear section like i did with the Gem section (adding the items instead of links

- adding guides for guardians and shaper for this build

- a seperate Hardcore post

- adding more colors (highlighting stuff etc) in the guide to make it easier to read

- maybe adding some pictures for some sections

- creating a 3.0 Beta section with changes, thoughts and progress.

- the mainguide will be updated for 3.0 once the beta ends or 3.0 starts

Maybe you guys have some suggestions what to improve.

I thought about a video guide, but its too much effort for me atm. Maybe i will do something with low effort, just running around in maps and showing some gear.

This would only show the stuff on my played character and not all the possibilitys with gear or skilltreechoices... except i would record a 1hr video nobody would watch :p

TBH i always look at the structure of a guide, including the levelling aspect and then at video footage to see if i would enjoy the build, adding a video with different aspects of gameplay will greatly enhance the guide.

well i have videos uploaded with several bosses and maps, on my youtube channel even really old pre ascendancy stuff. The playstyle never changed ;)

Its just frustrating for me to edit a video with some free software in the little time my kid is sleeping.

I would really like to do it, buts a big time investment with no editing skills... and maybe much changes in 3.0 anyway.
