Hello,i like ur build,i want to ask 2 questions.Is Lcoil works for this build?What about PCoC gem useage?

Hey, thank you. I think you can also use Lightning Coil, yes. I just prefered to get a pure Evasion chest. Also I switched the Gems around so that I have Herald of Thunder/Curse on Hit/Assassin's Mark/Reduced Mana in my Boots. That applies the Assassin's Mark automatically and I have my Power Charges up almost all the time, so you don't need a PCoC Gem.

If you have any more Questions feel free to ask here or even hit me up ingame. :)

is an optimal build, I'm doing and I'm not regretting !!

-Mtzzzz

Finally updated my Guide to the Herald of Thunder change. Enjoy :)

Looks familiar :)

Meh, he's done it, I've done it, you've done it, Iski did it, Flubby did it, Mathil did it, Dominion did it, more people than I can count have done it, the more people who do it, the better the overall tree gets.

Amen! And I openly admit that you made your guide before I did (although I wasn't aware of it at the time and I thought I was special :D haha). There is some variation within the theme, but the idea is the same. How good can it actually get? who knows :)

Fo' Sho' and I gotta say that Flubby's attempt at HC ele crit give me a lot of ideas too :P

Good work on these trees guys btw, I never really considered the bottom left pathing, my dream is next patch GGG will be friendly and nice to us and let us build ~4.5k HP with Acro and 25k+ spectral for HC league rape-age.

It *might* currently be possible to reach those numbers with non-crit Spectral Throw if you dual wield Dreamfeathers, but I need a few more levels before I can properly toy around with it.

My Dual Dreamfeather elemental Cleave build can get surprisingly high non-crit damage numbers (over 30k dps in a 5L and over 40k in a 6L, although I have some lvl 21 gems), and the defenses are pretty good. With some small tweaks it could be made into a Spectral Throw build, so here's a link in case anyone's able to test it out at high levels:

Anyway, nice build here, I just wish it had better defenses!

Most of my builds focus around Alpha's Howl and attempt to mimic the aura power aspects of non-crit Buzzsaw. With Forsaken Masters, I generally haven't found it all that profitable to head towards Sovereignty, but it looks worth it here (and I guess with most ST builds) if you don't mind giving up some defenses.

Hmm... what you said is very possible even at the moment. Check this out:



lvl 92 scion can achieve this (or even 89 if you don't get bonuses from bandits). What I took out from my original tree is the 'potency of will' cluster and the path to 'ballistic mastery'. What I lose is efficiency with EC+IC and range (+a bit of DPS from less proj dmg). But that's it! My HP pool was 4.1K at lvl 90 so at 92 it could be closer to 4.2 and on top of that with better gear 4.5 is plausible. And 25K dps with LMP is really not much to ask for since right now I am hitting for 36K with power charges (no vaal haste or Atziri flask).

Nevertheless, it would be amazing if GGG decided to make our life easier :D

Thanks for the link, and there's 4 life clusters next to your pathing which is cute, I always like to stay above 4.5k because even with Coil it's nasty lower down for pushing hardcore levels :P

I don't think I could live without Ballistic though, with the 10% it's almost like playing with Faster ^^

Build is point-heavy as always, ah well, we'll see in 1.3 :P
