Re, i obtain and try more and more stuff

Spoiler

, change tree and jewel, and now it's really fine, i have 7.81 aps with 3 frenzy charge, up too 8.33 if i take a hit, it's really fun vortex/ice nova and glaciale cascade/frostbolt, i don't play Frostbomb, no time for this (tiers 14+ need frostbomb i think)
GG for this build i like this

For calculate real dps it's all spell triggered x 1 x 1 sec? or with 8aps it's all spell x2 or x4 x 1sec?
cya
EDIT : i try logic for calculate real dps :
1aps= 1x GC 1x Vortex = 250 ms / 250 ms (one hit proc one gem/wand)
2aps = 1x GC 1x Vortex + 1xFB 1x IN = 250 /250 /250 /250 (all gem proc one time)
4aps = 2x gc 2x vortex + 2xfb 2x IN = 250x2/250x2/250x2/250x2
8 aps = 4x GC 4x Vortex + 4x FB 4x IN = 1sec/1sec/1sec/1sec (not possible more : internal cd gem achieved for 1sec)

For my current stats:
8 aps = 14630 x4 + 10495 x4 + 22126 x4 + 12452 x4 = 146 304 + 41 976 + 88 504 + 49 808 = 326 592 DPS at 8APS
Really good :)

Just keep in mind you lose damage if your Attack speed is faster than 8 because you wont proc any spell when all are on cd.

:o yes don't have this in mind, i try change tree for gain 1/2 jewel full speed atk, i try 7.90 aps no proc just with frenzy charge, it's hard xD
I try this belt but res is low :


15% atk speed and 16% cd recharge faster, with this it's possible +/- 8aps

Add Increased duration/immortal call/CWDT, but no idea how possible gain endurence charge with this build? Any idea?

What should I do if I'm having trouble getting up towards 8aps with the 4 spells? I'm barely reaching 5 aps with full frenzy stacks. Would it be advisable to drop frenzy for barrage and drop down to just using glacial cascade and frostbolt with another support gem in each wand?

Would that be better than 4 spells that aren't getting their full damage potential?

Get essence crafted gloves or craft a pair yourself 16% more attack speed helps alot.
the curse on hit set up in your belly only provides endurance charges and does nothing else.
if you realy want endurance charges use enduring cry.
get Quality faster attack and GMP for your frenzy.
replace bad jewels.
Do uber lab.
also keep in mind you get 26% attack speed when ever you get hit.

So I'm level 83 and here are my thoughts and choices I made :


1°) I decided to run without Blood magic and to take Herald Of Ice + Hatred (75% Mana reservation). The leech makes my Mana Sustain quite easy and Herald of Ice gives me a nice dammage buff.

2°) Since we had some slots left I decided to put on Helm the well known IM+CWDT, giving me a bit more survavibility.

3°)I had a last slot free so I chosed a lightning golem to give me more AS, I'm only lv 83 and my gems are only lv 18 or so for most of them, I'll probably overcap the 8APS and when it will happen I'll just swap some jewels for life + Cold (not having the money at the moment to get 4 needed stats per jewel).

4°) I run up to T15 without issues, I'm dieing a bit but that's because I'm missing a lot of Life Nodes at lv 83, will be much better at 90.

5°) As you said in the comments, that build once you have something close to my gear can kill bosses Up to 15 without a single trouble, and to be honest in a rather fast way.

6°) If I manage to get more life jewels or things like that, I'll for sure try guardians with it.


7°) Well I think that's all? Thanks for that build

For people interest, i change a little things :
- Wand = Fireball/Firestorm/GMP
- Wand = Magma orb/Flame surge/CTRl DESTr

-Chest = Devoto's with "40% Magma orb damage"
- 2 jewel awesome :
And change amulet for : or
And for finish Lag spell
And GG this is just awesome (again 8aps), i up +/- 500kdps (just flame surge deal 32k/spellx4 in sec) with this, removed VP for more regen node + fire nodes and it's really fun :)

I don't understand why you use Hatred? It's gives a bonus only for Glacial Cascade. Herald of Ice gives bonuses for 3 other skills + damage cannot be reflected + explode. Isn't Herald much better?
And one more little bonus, with herald you can remove BMS from Frenzy. And mb take whispers of doom and Projectile Weakness on Frenzy?

You asked me why i am running hatred. Thats the answer. Im using a watchers eye giving me cold pen while im running hatred.

Even if you drop blood magic you still need curse on hit + curse in the set up which does not fit.

You can also run hatred + hoi anyways, the only reason im running PoF is also because of the watchers eye.
