Elemental Buzzsaw & Static Strike - Solo the entire game, quickly and cheaply 1.1.0 update

looks nice. I got a a respec with my scion after the latest update and was wondering what to do with the 96 passives (level 76). I don't have much currency and my other scion is Incinerate. So, this could be a lot of fun.

Both could use an alpha's howl so the investment would carry two characters.

Would love to see some video especially of merci dominus (and minions).

Is this end game viable?

Desperately been trying to make a video but the uploads keep failing.

Yes this is an end game spec as I've mention I've solo'd all the way through every map/boss possible.

Added 1 small video in the OP. Working on adding more.

Added another video of 74 maze Vaal

Currently uploading double Dominus in Residence 74 map.

Should be up in 10-15 min.

This build reminds me of an old D2 build from waaaaayyy back. It was called 'Angel' or something and was a venger pally that actually put points into the resist auras for synergy and due to being cheap access to damage reduction. It was meant to be a very cheap/self-found way of having a very strong character that could set one up for more gear-heavy characters or whatnot.

Seems perfect for me who's just getting back in to the game and my only other good character is a summoner and that's not really a good map char.

Question, in the absence of a 5L what would be the best set of gems for ST? I have blood magic, life leech, and LMP as my 3 supports. It will most likely be a long time until I can get a 5L, but what would be the next best support for the 5th slot?

The 3 core ones are ST, Blood magic and LMP. After that given that this spec is entirely elemental, weapon elemental damage and life leech are a toss up. You can get away with 2-3 health pots and run weapon ele damage but life is alot easier on you if you just run life leech instead.

A 5L these days really is no work at all to get. On Domination I would struggle to sell a level 60 evasion 5L for more than 4-5 chaos. I imagine it's only cheaper on standard. Can't speak or hardcore or nemesis though.

what was your first reaction when you got the speed boost srine effect while using ST?

Hey, nice build, but just curious - why don't you get static blows when its right next to Purity of Flesh?

I seem to kill monsters with few enough hits that I don't think static blows will help. A 1 in 5 hit to shock just won't do enough for the 3 passive points it takes.

Acceleration shrine with ST is pretty awesome, yea. Nothing compared to echoing though imo :p

I'm playing this build right now. Just hit level 60 and am in a3 merciless. The survivability from the resistance auras combined with the fast attack and multi-hit life steal makes it fairly smooth sailing. If I had even slightly better gear I think I would have an even easier time. I've solod most of the game so far. A couple of deaths to random stuff and a shitton of deaths to desync. Right now just got Catalyze and have 2k dps for ST. I got a 5L for 5 chaos and need to get a bunch of chromatics so I can RRRGG it for ST, leech, blood mana, faster attacks, and WED.

I used LMP late normal/early cruel then switched it for faster attack. The increased width is sort of useful, but it cuts my DPS too much. Swapping LMP in over faster attack right now cuts me down to 1200 dps.

I noticed my chance to hit was 79-78% so I just picked up resolute technique. I like it when it crits but losing 20% dps to missing is way more than 5% chance to crit.
