Physical Siphon Witch (AuxTheDriven) [Standard]
" Arh that explains, sorry guys completely forgot about the top nodes. Thanks for clearing up Aux. My builds doesn't seem that good anymore hmm. On the other hand, if I can get 400 strength - 80% increased physical projectile damage is something (Elder power cluster is 98% in comparison). Still looking for some nice/smart route so I can go to Unwavering stance (don't want to get stunned by skeletons) and pick up Vaal pact on the way. Also Aux, how on earth do you manage to get 1373% multiplier? I have the 70% cluster at the CI area, Maligaro, 67% from amulet, crit gem etc. With and including the curse a total of around 780%. To get 500% more seems practically impossible. Even if you took all the nodes in the tree. Last edited by Harmster#3342 on Aug 14, 2013, 6:01:21 AM

I have 690% on character sheet. Multiply by 1.99 for the curse since it's a 'more' multiplier = 1373%.

May i ask how does Physical Siphon deal with physical reflect? It seems this build has a large burst dmg from crit multiplier, similarly to EK crit build. But does it also suffer from reflecting itself to death, or is there a ele dmg balance that's able to keep you alive thanks to leech and vaal pact?

" Oh didn't notice the "more" on that curse, you are right. However Im not quite sure it works like that, a 1373% multiplier and you would multiply your tooltip damage by 14.7%, but since the curse says "more" I think its an incorrect way of calculating. Let me explain. As far I understood the "more damage" concept its something which is calculated post other multipliers as a stand-alone. My singletarget tooltip says 600-1427 physical damage, thats roughly 1000 on average. My crit multiplier is 680: The aux way: 1000*14.5=14500. My way of calculating: 1000*7.8=7800 -> 7800*1.99=15522. It makes a difference. And here you see why physical builds are underrated, that you can do THIS much damage which the monsters armour would surely have perished long ago. If you consider the 120% more damage from shocks the physical damage this build does is mindblowing. Last edited by Harmster#3342 on Aug 15, 2013, 7:53:53 AM

" What alot of people do is to swap out the red gem socket (normally weapon elemental damage or reduced mana) with Life leech on reflect physical maps. I hate the swapping gems around so I'm working on a permanent solution. You are right, Vaal pact is the way to deal with physical reflects. Also, extra life leech on your gear is insane, 6% amulet, 2% on both rings and optionally 2% on the gloves for an extra 12% total or 22% with quality bloodrage. How much is enough is up to you. I even suspect 20% + life leech to be able to handle elemental reflects with weapon elemental damage gem in your 6L combination. This would be absolutely outragous. Naturally since you are passing up 3 prefixes (adds x-x elemental/physical damage) to get the life leech on your jewelry. Worth it? - Perhaps. Last edited by Harmster#3342 on Aug 15, 2013, 8:18:54 AM

" I didn't calculate my damage in a dps fashion like you are. All I said is that when I crit a target, it does 1373% extra damage than a non-crit would. IGN: Aux

" Why are you using Rime Gaze? You still have the Mana cost of the built in Concentrated Effect, but it gives no effect.. |

" Hmm could be right about that, Im not exactly sure how to calculate it. We can agree that it does a BUNCH (100% more) of extra damage though :D |
