Build of the Week, Season 2 Episode 3 Build Submission Thread

1.How to make enemies shock or frozen?
a. Elemetal damage deal a critical strike.
b. Your gears, passives or skill gems offered chance to shock or chance to freeze. When you hit enemies and got a shock or freeze roll, the enemies would be shocked or frozen.

2.Chance to shock and freeze: How it roll? is it same as critical strike?

From wiki, we knew Critical Strikes are rolled on a per-action basis, not per-monster. So each time you use a skill, the Critical Strike roll is made once and only once. If you roll a Critical Strike, you will deal Critical damage to all enemies hit by the skill. But chance to shock or freeze is different. Chance to shock or freeze are rolled on "per-monster". The test video is here(http://youtu.be/zO5RBIkD0ak).
My lv93 char picked resolute technique(your hits can't be evaded/ Never deal critical strike). So if i made enemies shock or frozen, that were from chance to shock or freeze. My shock nova gem offered 30% chance to shock and cold snap offered 39% chance to freeze. The video showed chance to shock or freeze are rolled on "per-monster".

3.The chance of shock or frozen

a.Shock

The passive(static blow, chance to shock) offered 20% (10%+10%) chance to shock.
The Q20 shock nova offered 30% chance to shock.
Total chance to shock is 50%.

PS. the passive, shock near shadow also offered 5% chance to shock.

b.Frozen

The passive didn't offer chance to freeze.
The lv20 cold snap offered 44% chance to freeze.
The Q20 added cold damage skill gem offereed 10% chance to freeze.
Total chance to freeze is 54%.

PS. the passive, freeze near shadow also offered 5% chance to freeze.


c.My spell critical chance is about 23% to shock nova and cold snap.


d.Roll process

1st: roll critical strike 23%.

2nd: roll chance to shock or freeze to every enemies.

3th: shock or frozen status effects spread to other enemies by elemental proliferation skill gem.


4.How it work at one or many enemies.

a. One enemy

Shock nova

One action could drop three shock nova trap.It would roll critical strike once and chance to shock three times.
the chance of three shock status:
23% x [50%x50%x50%x3] + 77% x [50%x50%x50%] = 8.625% + 9.625% = 18.25%

the chance of two shock status :
23% x [50%x50%x50%x3] + 77% x [50%x50%x50%x3] = 8.625% + 28.875% = 37.5%

the chance of one shock status :
23% x [50%x50%x50%] + 77% x [50%x50%x50%x3] = 2.875% + 28.875% = 31.75%

the chance of zero shock status :
100% - 18.25% - 37.5% - 31.75% = 12.5%


Cold snap

It's more difficult to hit one enemy three times by cold snap because its skill area is smaller. I assumed enemy could be hit twice.

Chance of frozen status:
1 - 77% x [46%x46%] = 1 - 16.3% = 83.7%


b. more enemies

Assumed we met enemy "A" and enemy "B". When "A" got one shock status and "B" got one shock status, the result is A and B got two shock status because of elemental proliferation. The analyses are very complex, so i didn't count the real chance.
(If someone is interested, help me. :) ) When we met 3 enemies, the chance without shock effects is 0.195%.(12.5%x12.5%x12.5%) We understand why this build could make enemies 3 shcok effects or froze by dropping one trap.

First, fire pen affected only hit damage. It means burning damage was increased from the more hit damage, but the resistance of the monsters was not changed at burning stage.

Using fire pen

1.More total damage

According to 7.A, we could analyse them quickly. Assumed fire resistance(R) is 0.

With Lv20Q20 fire pen (hit damage = D x 1.85): total damage is D x 5.6906.

with Lv20 increased burning damage (B = 4.05): total damage is D x 5.145.

2.More mana cost

Mana cost multiplier: fire pen = 140% / increased burning damage = 120%
According to my char, mana cost is 34 per stage with fire pen / 29 with inc burning damage.
If cast speed is 113%, it means time per sec is 7.1 times.

Mana cost per sec with fire pen = 34 x 7.1 = 241.4

Mana cost per sec with increased burning damage = 29 x 7.1 = 205.9

3.More dangerous at reflect

Fire pen raised the hit damage, so it's the more dangerous at elemental reflect. Burning damage wasn't reflected.

Conclusion

If you want the more damage, choose fire pen. If you want the safer at reflect or less mana cost, choose increased burning damage.
