[3.3] The BVCopter - cast spells by Weapon swapping
" Didn't get a chance to play this on 3.3. Do you think it'll come back for 3.4? As a fan of AFK/Cows/CWDT builds I'm interested in this and similar builds... I like your note for 3.4... Is it too soon to share any details? | |
"The rate is 250ms now, so this build is 100% fucked. On the other hand, it's still fair for Heartbound Loop builds since CWDT also has a 250ms cooldown. So here's the thing: if you want to deal damage with CWDT, you need to be able to take enough damage to regularly trigger a level 20 gem - and survive it. This worked so well on this build because the damage from Heartbound Loop could literally heal you. If you want to cast 2x a second, you'll need a recovery of at least 6544 life/s. For 4x, it has to be 13088 life/s. You have to heal this damage, mitigation wouldn't trigger the gem. The only things in the game that could recover that right now are either Slayer/Ascendant leech or Maligaro's Lens with Necromantic Aegis (which requires a huge investment). In both cases, your net recovery wouldn't be very great. Zerphi's with the new instant Skills might work too, I haven't thought about that too much. So there's one other thing I had planned, but not tested enough yet. And I'm not sure if i'm going to make this a build. When you change items and your Life/ES gets updated, it will always remain at the same percentage as it was before (as long as it's not 0). In an extreme case you could change from 30 to 3000 ES by weapon swapping, which means every recovery you get while you have 30 ES gets multiplied by 100. My idea would be to have one weapon set of Insanity weapons and another one with a high ES shield. Both of these setups have Discipline/Clarity Auras socketed while using a Clarity Watcher's Eye, so you'll keep it when you swap. The Insanity weapons, however, are linked to Generosity so you won't get the effect. The next thing is something I haven't tested, but this should mean that the 3000 ES would absorb the damage from the ring(s). After that, you can swap back to the 30 ES set which would be immediately recovered by flat recovery, i.e. from a Stone Golem. Rinse and Repeat. Edit: Actually, weaponswapping will get blocked completely after some time now lol. Not bad, Chris. But remember: memes will alwayss find a way.

Now I'm sad. Here I have finally found the first meme build I actually wanted to try, then it turns out I'm literally one league too late. The weapon swap lock after only a few seconds killed this so fast.

"You'd need more minions, CWDT + skeleton is no more than 4 skeletons per second - this build was hitting 90 minions per second. Afaik the best way to get minions out now is with Soulwrest. Builds and Guides:
