Skyforth what wand do you run with now? The one you linked in the description looks like Yoshi's old :-)

I saw the the original crafter changed the hybrid phys/accu roll to a 72% spelldmg roll. Might be a dps increase?

About your build, nice going mate - you seem to have broken the code. Sad to see aura nodes being THAT effective though, that is simply insane.
If you can afford it, picking up the 3 "30% energy shield from equipped shield" at the Bulwark cluster might reward you greatly since you have a 500ES shield. You come right past them.

The wand was also for CoC not wanding

6% es provides much more es than a 30% node. Discipline also provides over 600 flat es

Assuming it is true that with intelligence and nodes and all that, you have 210% increased energy shield minus 46% from body and soul giving you 164%,

And that your base energy shield is 2583,

Then,

One 6% node increases your energy shield by

(264 + 6) / 264 - 1 = 2.27%

One 30% shield node, which gives your shield more base es, gives

(2583 + 155) / 2583 - 1 = 6.5%

One 30% shield node is

6.5/2.27 = 2.86 times better than a 6% node.



Overall

46 ES from body and soul vs 90% shield nodes:

(264 + 46) / 264 - 1 = 17.4%

90% increased shield ES:

(2583 + 155 * 3) / 2583 - 1 = 18%





Conclusion:

ES on shield gives 18/17.4 = 3.4% more es, and requires almost half the amount of points to take.

Nice build tho, i love aura builds.

Apparently increased energy shield from equipped shield doesn't increase base ES as i had been led to believe.

I'm too lazy to write the math again, but with that the body and soul will give you

2.55 times as much ES for less than double the point investment, and so are better points.

Yeah did the math and it made no sense, you are right. Its not flat ES provided by the 30% node.

Also in regards to elemental reflect - I never had an issue with that:

But I'm not sure the hybrid wand would be a good dps increase aswell. More likely to be the same.

I just want to say that i think this is a really great build, really well crafted.

I hope you are not angry with me, but i have used it as an example of how overpowered auras are in a feedback thread. You have not a single weapon damage node. I would do exactly like you, your build here is extremely good, but i think it is bad for the game that auras are the best even for single player.
