[Archived] Moosseolini's Holy Relics Guardian

"Beams now hit enemies every 0.4 seconds at gem level 1, down to 0.32 seconds at gem level 20 (from 0.4 seconds at all gem levels)."

With the change to Static Strike in the 3.11 patch notes, is it going to be better to use an under-levelled Ststic Strike gem to keep the beams' speed equal to or just below the Holy Relics' cooldown after getting Geofri's Legacy?

Also, Cursed Crypt is now a Tier 2 map. Thisd is a buff for us, right?

Summon Holy Relic
Now has a base critical strike chance of 5% on its Nova skill (previously erroniously had 0%).

A buff for this build \o/

To what extent does the base crit on Holy Relic influence the tree?

I am curious in particular about our choice to get Resolute Technique, since this negates the recent crit buff to the Nova. Or does this not apply to our minions?
Also, if we don't take RT, is there any benefit in investing in scaling these crits, or would the cost outweigh the gain?
Thanks for the guide btw, never tried HR but I'm excited to get into it this league.

Looking at the possible ways to scale our damage, I think crit is not going to be one of them, though I would love to be proven wrong! Resolute Technique should only be applying to us rather than the minions, though that's not something I'm certain about.

Looking at our gem setup, perhaps replacing Controlled Destruction with Meat Shield will yield better damage than before, as we are now able to crit with the nova skill. Once PoB is updated to reflect the patch notes, I'll have a play around and see if there's any improvements to be made.

Once I get the full gem info, I'll update the guide to let everyone know what the optimal level for Static Strike is. It will vary depending on the rolls on Geofri's Legacy though.

As for the Cursed Crypt map, I don't know how much of a difference that is going to make for us.

Best Guide for Beginners!

God bless you mr.Moosseolini! :D

But I still missing something and need help from you folks to do a right calculations for Cyclone:

I'm on PS4 (seems like we're missing some detailed numbers here) and I have no idea how properly do this math.

I can put some numbers here and maybe someone can do calculations for me:

My Geofri's Legacy has 24% reduced CD recovery speed. As I understand my Nova CD now 0.3/1-0.24=0.3947

And my attack rate should be 1/0.3947=2.5335

Now question. The only numbers I have on PS4 is:

1. Attack Time ---------0.22Secs
2. Attacks per Second -4.59

Where should I look?

1/4.49=0.2178 Is it my attack rate? If so do I need to decrease it? Or what?


Thanks in Advance for anybody who will help me ;D

Your attacks per second should be a multiple of the attack rate that you calculated. So, you should increase your attacks per second from 4.59 to 5.07.

In Harvest league, you will be able to use Static Strike to trigger the nova instead, I suggest using Static Strike as you won't have to worry about your attack rate like with Cyclone. All you will have to do is get the right level on your Static Strike gem, which will be in the guide as soon as possible.

Thx for the guide, i think ill try it this league.

Do you think it might be worth considering to switch one gem from the 6 link to add Herald of Agony? Surly it would not be at its best potential since we are not hitting crazy fast but for just 1 gem it might be worth trying.

Kind regads

There are multiple reasons why this is not worth it, in my opinion.
- Agony Crawler benefits from minion attack/cast rate, meanwhile we are not picking up any of it.
- Herald of Agony requires a high amount of dexterity, which this build has almost none of.
- To make Herald of Agony deal damage, we need to poison enemies to increase Virulence. We have no ways to poison enemies in our build, and to get more, we need to add support gems (as we are too far away from chance to poison nodes).

It is much more effective to add another 6-link chest instead of Kaom's Heart and socket any minions there that you want to experiment with. We lose a lot of life, but we should gain a lot of damage.

I hadn't considered adding a second active skill gem instead of a support gem to the setup before, however. Thanks for your comment, it gave me some ideas of things I could try.

Hi, found this build, and I really want to try it out as starter for 3.11

Now that static strike has 2 sec (from 4) duration. So we need to hit enemies mmuch more often with the attack, will that slow and clunk the speed ?

and I also wonder, this helmet, is it expensive to create/buy the first couple days ?

edit: "3.11 has changed Static Strike's beam hit frequency to scale with levels instead of with its previously stacking buff. This allows us to use it to activate the nova again."

what do you mean by 'again ?

cheers

We used to use Static Strike back in Metamorph league (3.9) to trigger the nova. The cooldown of the nova skill got increased in Delirium league (3.10), making it impossible to trigger the nova with Static Strike. Due to the changes to Static Strike this league (3.11), it can be used to trigger the nova. That's what I mean by 'again'. I will go clarify the initial comment.

Back in Metamorph league, Static Strike used to last a very long time, allowing us to run around without hitting mobs for about 7.8s. This league, we will have to hit an enemy every 3.9s to keep the buff active. This is still acceptable for us.

Geofri's Legacy is often expensive near the start of the league, but quickly diminished in value to around 20c price. Be on the lookout for the prophecy used to acquire it too, 'The Bishops Legacy'.
