- Level 21 Volatile Dead increases damage significantly.

- Craft Opal rings with % Fire Damage suffix.

- Amulet with crit multi/fire damage/crit strikes, optional Shaper amulet with pen.

- Better jewels

Thanks :) I'll get to work on it

You have your build links messed up a bit. The lvl 90 build link is the lvl 96 build link. The lvl 90 build link is missing.

Seeing as we run assassins mark ive found that dropping power charge on hit and putting bodyswap helps alot and also faster clearing

It also does fire damage and % of our max hp so best of both worlds if your using it for damage

Think this has been said before but really no point having charge if we already get charges from curse!

Isn't cloaked in savagery the best uber lab option? The extra leech and damage on tough times has to be good

Is it better to get close to 4.0 atk speed before or after crave the slaughter procs. Because I saw a chart today and it seems going over 4 really nerfs ur dps. It seems like crave the slaughter is a negative in this build. But zerker gets leech and every other class needs a 15ex jewel.

You want to make sure you stay under 4 APS with the proc. That's why getting CDR on belt and boots is nice.

How do the mechanics affect DPS negatively by going over 4APS? Does that lower the number of balls generated per second?

You have "dead attacks" where you attack and nothing happens. Poet's Pen has an internal cooldown of 0.25 seconds, which means that without CDR gear your maximum output is 4 triggers per second.[/quote]

But having higher than 4 APS doesn't LOWER DPS, right?

This is what I'd probably do for level 90. Grabb Throatseeker at 93 and Snowforged at 96. Maybe spec out of Quick Recovery and grab those as your last points.

The leech used to be good before changes to Vaal Pact and instant leech, so the leech does absolutely nothing for us since we cap our leech with the 1% we already get. Damage is decent, but it relies on you taking a massive amount of damage to trigger and is overall very unreliable. The increased attack speed is also going to mess us up, so if we do take a Savage hit, our DPS will go down significantly.

It does lower our DPS. Attacking when there's still for example .03s cooldown left on the Poet's Pen will result in a dead attack, we would then have to wait until the next attack until we triggered something. Dead attacks are bad. The recommended thresholds to reach would be 4 APS or 8 APS with 2 active gems in each wand.

The threshold will depend on your items, I'd recommend getting CDR on belt and boots.

Hey, why i see you say "Poet's Pen has an internal cooldown of 0.25 seconds", it's wrong, gem have 250ms internal CD, for 2 gem (one by wand) 4APS is just the best DPS, more aps = gem CD internal not up.

1aps= 1xUH 1xVD = 250 ms / 250 ms
2aps = 2xUH + 2xVD = 250+250 /250+250
4aps = 4xUH + 4xVD = 1sec / 1sec=> the most efficiency for 1 gem by wand triggered
For 2 gem triggered you need 8 aps and for 3 ( i need see that xD) it's 16 APS
GGG post a reply for say poet's have not internal CD (like Mjolner or Cospri)

are we even able to do Atziri runs, since balls are uncontrollable and reflect = insta rip?

Being at 4APS constantly is so hard since you get extra attack speed when hit. So what you're saying is 3.8APS would be better than 4.8APS? With frenzy charge, and not being hit, my APS would be about 3.8 without Faster Attacks on Frenzy. Right now I am using these pieces:



Right now, getting CDR with life and decent res are way too expensive. For mix-maxing down the road, probably worth it but right now, not really.
