does anyone have a tooltip for darkpact for this build? (I know its not a true indicator) -- simply want it for comparison purposes.

here we go :

PoB tooltip with my current gear/gems/lvl :

- 1 478 478 DPS with 10 wither stacks
- 2 075 117 DPS with 20 wither stacks
- 2 516 037 DPS with 20 wither stacks and a shocked enemy

HO stats :

- 126 001,8 DPS with heral of ice
- 159 174,3 DPS with arcane surge bonus

Current life : 8336 life, 333 ES

edit : yolo exalted and divined my jewels, got some minor bonuses here and there (a bit more damage and now 8401 life)

In your HO stats, Is your cast speed that high with just Arcane surge? or is that flasked as well. I'm sitting at 157% unbuffed with a bit worse gear but even if I had all the cast speed modifiers you have I wouldnt come close to 250%+.

no flasks were used for the hideout tooltip ;) . i have a lot of cast speed mods on my gear and jewels :

- 16% on boots (if proc)
- 24% on jewels
- 12% on helmet
- 8% on shield
- 6% and 7% on rings
- 15% from acrane surge
- 4% cast speed per frenzy charges

Does it means that cast speed+cast speed+maxhp jewels will be better than dmg+dmg+maxhp?

i just did the tests,

best is :

prefix
- spell damage while holding a shield
- % life

suffix
- cast speed

cast speed jewels and spell damage/area damage jewels are very close, spell damage being better by a very close margin.

tried uber atziri today, i did a few mistakes but it was ok overall. it's still a lot harder than shaper imo.

Where is the lifeleech in all this? I looked around and don't see any yet you run vaal pact? Is it just from quick recovery?

Berserker ascendency Pain reaver and Cloaked in savagery, i leech 650 000 life per sec 95% of the time ;) (savage hits, form direct hits or doedre flask). the rest of the time i leech 17 800/sec, and for the first mob of a map (if i decide to not drink doedre's elixir) it's 5600/sec. Leech with that mutch cast speed is ridiculous, you can stay in bameth DD on a T16 map as long as you hit something.

Thank you so much for this build, loving it at the moment and am having no problems what so ever in getting Shaper and his guardians down. I have not looked into APEP yet, but think i will do that in the future, just too see the difference. Furthermore i am using your Dark Pact suggestion for helmet (attack speed), will try to look into Dark Pact DPS instead, but guess that as works well.

Vigilant Strike is kinda nice to use instead of minion life since you can get a 12s fortify duration.

What do you think about Emperor's Might for the 6% strenght and 10% dmg?
