[1.3][SC] Uber Viable Doryani's Strike Build /w Video (No GG Gear)

Update Info:
March 20, 2015: Finished uploading Uber video
March 19, 2015: Creation of guide



Hey guys, it's Skyion here with another build for Uber killing on comparatively cheap gear (1x 6L + 1ex items). Wanting to dive into damage double dipping with Doryani's Catalyst for extreme DPS on the cheap. Many Doryani's Catalyst guides out there but none with Uber vid, so here's mine.



Explanation of the build

2x Doryani's Catalyst gives good DPS, double global crit, double leech, and 220% elemental boost.

That mean skills like lightning strike will get good base damage AND bonus damage when converted into lightning.

Hatred and Herald of Ash also benefit 220% from Doryani's Catalyst which is amazing.

Abyssus already gives insane damage, when converted into lightning through one of the skills, you get another high increase in damage stack.


Pros and Cons

Pros:
Good DPS for 6L 170k Lightning Strike
DPS with flasks 235k
140k DPS for 5L
Tons of Shock
Multiple main skill available
Can't be Stunned
Uber Viable
Duelist/Maurader is stronger than Scion pure crit build

Cons:
Abyssus makes you squishy even with lightning coil
Melee



Mapping Gear and Gems


Lightning Coil to offset Abyssus drawback.
5L: Lightning Strike/Static Strike, WED, Multistrike, Added Fire Damage, Melee Physical Damage
6L: Faster Attacks

Alternative Setup
5L: Cyclone, Concentrated Effect/Increased AOE, Blood Magic, Phsyical to Lightning, Melee Physical
6L: Added Fire Damage



2x 290+pdps Doryani's Catalyst is the core of the build. Gives decent DPS and double dips converted elemental damage by 200%. Gives global cri x2 and elemental leech x2.
3L: Leap Slam, Faster Attacks, Reduced Mana
2L: Lvl5 Warlord's Mark, Lvl1 Cast when Damage Taken
1L: Portal/Blood Rage

Help's survival especially with reflect. Keeps Endurance charges up.


Abyssus almost doubles our damage output.
4L: Lvl7 Cast when Damage Taken, Lvl9 Enduring Cry, Lvl8 Immortal Call, Lvl20 Increased Duration


Maligaro's Virtuosity adds a tons of deeps and some DEX.
3L: Reduced Mana, Hatred, Herald of Ashe
4L: Any purity or Herald of Thunder



Rest of the gear go for life, accuracy, and resists. Damage mods are a bonus is you can afford it.
4L: Increased Duration, 3x Vaal Immortal Call (for Uber, or use any gem you wish here)




Uber Run Explaination

Use self cast Enduring Cry and Immortal Call combo.
Use Lightning Strike for trash mobs and Static Strike for bosses.
Trash Mobs will freeze and shock which kills you quickly, keep flasks up for those.



Double Vaal: Pop Taste of Hate and Atziri's Promise to kill each Vaal boss immediately. Use Topaz and Quicksilver if you didn't kill the first one fast enough.


Trio: Kill cycloner -> dualstriker -> titty bitch.
Use bleed flasks for first one, ruby flask for dual striker, and Taste of Hate + Atziri's Promise whenever you feel the need to leech quickly.


Atziri: Spam Enduring Cry as you kill single form. pop a Vaal IC on each split phase.

Interesting. However I'd only use this build for uber farming, which it does remarkably well :D

Since you stick entirely to the left side of the tree to get all those endurance charges, the biggest disadvantage is that you miss out on acro, ondar's and all that dps and crit goodness in the shadow area. You make it up somewhat with the pure phys and aps nodes, but I find consistent crits preferable.


However this seems to be the most hardcore viable dual doryani melee build I've seen, and even uber atziri seems really easy. So awesome job mate!

I've actually played the Scion version as well and this one is straight up stronger in terms of DPS and Life crit nodes or not.

Thank you for your praise.

Nice build, although I am not seeing the point of using lightning strike when:

-You melee everything.
-Melee phys and melee crit multi do not scale the projectiles.

Is this a real concern or trolling? I can't even..

The projectiles are 70% of your melee hit damage which is scaling off those gems. So it gets stronger.
Lightning Strike is also a nice choice because it acts as some sort of AOE clear without the delyaed effect of Static Strike. Leeching instantly without having to wait 0.7s against uber mobs is important.

This is not trolling, this is how the skill works.

It is a common misconception with how lightning strike works (similar thing with molten strike).

It is split into a two parts:

-A melee hit based off of your attack damage and melee bonuses.
-Multiple projectiles based off of your attack damage and projectile bonuses.

Okay, the part where melee physical doesn't scale with projectiles is true.
But what gem would you replace it with for better effect?? SS and Molten is too slow for activation. Glacial wastes a spot just for splash and reduces damage.

LS and melee phys may not scale but still seems to be best option for now; "AOE" attack in 1 skill gem.

Not having to deal with the damage delay is a good point. I have never done uber so SS delay has not been an issue for me.

Although it does not have the built in damage conversion, maybe give cyclone another go? Just with weapon ele instead of added fire. I think cyclone is not optimal without some respeccing and/or maybe a soultaker, but interested to hear your thoughts/experiences with it.

Try ground slam or cyclone. Just use a phys to lightning gem with them, it's bloody insane. The tooltip may be lower, but they are highly effective, especially cyclone for single target.
For try, for see, and for know.
