[1.2.0] "Forcefield" - Flameblast - EB/MoM/Block - Atziri & Endgame Viable!
" Wow, congrats on the 20 fusing 6l! That's some incredible luck! Glad you like the build :) |

Thx for this build, it's very strong. Cast when stunned is OP.
I respecced one of my witches and used random gear I found in my stash and it's so good, I can definitely recommend it to everyone! Thinking about rolling similar char in Beyond.

So did a few upgrades and this is my full gear now
Spoiler
I'm not really sure what to go for next, there aren't any fire leech anvils on HC and they cost ~10c each so trying to craft one myself would be a pain (and I'd probably end up with nothing), buying alts/jewellers/fusings is also a pain to reach 1500 for bench. I spam "trade 1" for hours each day and I'll get 2 whispers at most if I'm lucky (btw there isn't really any channel other than "trade 1", even that is almost completely empty and you automatically get put there), and from the 4 doryani's catalysts that I see on indexer 1 is not for sale,2 the player quit, and the last one is 30ex which is way out of my budget so not really sure what to upgrade unless I spend all my currency on gems. |

" Glad you liked the build! CWS is definitely underrated but you also have to build around it to make it stronger than CWDT so it's easy for people to call it a trash gem. " It's sad to hear that HC is this dead. You could always craft 1% fire leech on a rare weapon instead and once you're brave enough go do Atziri yourself for the Doryani's Catalyst ;) Even with the added Beyond packs I'm pretty sure doing this build in HC is an even harder challenge. You're basically forced to play the game self-found. Mad props to you for coming this far!
Another beyond character update

My wife is planning on playing a flameblast witch with me. I'm the marauder who will taunt and facetank, while she uses flameblast to get the kill.
Does anyone have any suggestions for how much, if any, we could/should modify this build to do that? |
|
" Having someone else run in and draw attention to all the mobs is something that would, even with no changes to the build, be great throughout the whole game. On my character in the Beyond league I was running around relying on my decoy totem up until I could buy all of the endgame uniques. So no need to change a thing! Flameblast works great solo, slightly worse with a full party but the best when you're two people playing together. |

Thanks Redoxe, we'll give it a go!

Hi,
Thinking about use this build for my 2nd character in Rampage, and I would like to ask what do you think about use 4 skill points du get Elemental Equilibrium and add an Arc Totem to trigger it ? (Maybe remove a CWS setup for it) I think this in memory of my old burning Explosive Arrow, where I used EA to ignite, and Split arrow + Flat light/cold dmg on stuff to trigger EE. |
|
" If I were to go for EE I personally wouldn't even change anything in the gems. With 78% block/75% spell block triggering tempest shield that deals lightning damage they should get the -fire resist before you fully charge your 2nd flameblast. Not like they will survive the first one unless it's a boss. |

Thanks for this build! Level 53 now, just put on Cloak of Defiance and Rainbowstrides :) One thing for everyone considering this though: You're going to spam chroms on the cloak to get the right colors (for me around 250, so that's about an exalt of value). So if you buy the cloak and can find one with the right colors for an exalt more, it's probably worth taking.
Still this build seems not too expensive for something as tanky and endgame-viable. Great job! How do you feel about the "Quickness" passive node? For 2 points you get 5% move speed and 20 dex. Would be badly invested for any other build, but maybe on this one any move speed is more valuable? And have you tried q20 Arctic Armour? Sorry if any of this was discussed before, I haven't yet read through the thread :) Last edited by Timeclasp#5603 on Sep 4, 2014, 3:18:28 AM
