leveled with fireball & rolling flames, already had the taming and emberwake. Actually pretty good.

However, I don't like the flask using in this build. I have the rings, the 4 jewels, scold's, 3 zerphi's. I find that I kill myself too often for this to be fun. Please let me know if I'm doing it wrong or if this is just considered par for the course with this build.

Other flasks have a little icon on the top of the screen letting you know how much longer they are in effect...not so with zerphi's! So I end up dying sometimes.

I find the labyrinth shitty to do with this build due to running out of flask charges. NO charges, your fucked.

anyways, I thought this was a very original build, kudos to whoever figured out the synergies with all the items. Good job.

Let me know if there's something I'm missing or if I just need to git gud managing flasks.


your account is private so i cant see your char.

as for flask manegement , you need to get used to it, not just spam it, one every 7-8 sec is good (enough to be sure you wont die, and still long time).
how much life you got?
try to get higher lvl of blood magic gem, (for min life taken on hit, while still being able to activate cwdt every leap).

i find it very strange you struggle to keep flasks up, see my videos... no problem ever (and i spam them way too often)

well.. since you will have high life... just use and strong spell that not need any build around, and youll be fine (flame totem, fireball like the comment above you said , flameblast, etc)

Up to lab runs - if you are stun prone you will have to kill mobs once in 30 seconds and all flask will be full. Even if you press them too frequently. Otherways - moving across locations - leap slam is hillarious here. Izaro fight - Jump around like an Mario. Stun immunity is very important too.

This buiild does have one problem I can't solve until now. Running 3 Leap Slamms in second you cant understand what happens on screen. You can aswell put dirty googles on, pilot helm and press right mouse + Flask.... Kinda like here :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoSLZP0e-M4&t=0m17s
0:36 sec - Flasks are empty... Or lag happens

BTW - when you play Sarn Arena this is EXACTLY like in Waterworld clip.

Still build with alot of fun potential.

so happy i read this and then found the key items, bitterdream and scold's. gonna level one toon after work. thanks so much.

i'll find time to read through all the posts but i have a burning question now, how does whirling blades + fortify sound in this build? with the amount of regen, the damage reduction seems pretty attractive at first thought.

Both are very bad:
WB - too low mana cost to activate CWDT
Fortify - neglates self damage

You have to be phisically glass cannon. Or you will need 8 fevered Minds and kill youself on every lag :)

Actually, both are possible and viable with very good gear. It's just a real pain to get there. I ended up putting Fortify on a different link.

Anyway, here's another video of my latest experiment:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ej7fmJKsFCQ

This one's a Chaos damage version scaling only flat damage from using dual Apep's and Added Chaos Damage gem. All active skill gems are level 1 (except Shock Nova for shock chance). Wither triggers Scold's and also multiplies Chaos damage by up to 2.4. Uses low level CWDT (7 in my case), and runs Acro/Phase Acro.

As you can see, the DPS works (thankfully, I had my doubts). It would jump further if I ever manage to 6-link my armour.

Several advantages - reflect immune, low self-damage, additional evasion/dodge defence layer (no more getting overwhelmed by sudden Perandus mob lags).

Primary drawbacks - lower life pool, less life regen for RF, mobility (rooted with Wither).

just a small tip: CWDT have a cooldown of 0.25 sec, so casting more than 4 time per sec isnt gonna work,
so on the wither link, ill take out faster casting, for higher mana multi link, for higher cwdt trigger


Thanks!

Cast speed is intentional. Currently I have close to 8/sec, so it's 2 casts for each CWDT trigger. The advantages are faster Wither stacks, the character heals close to 8 times per second (very important in the middle of big packs), and allows regular Molten Shell to actually explode every 0.25s (1 time activates, next time explodes). With only 4/sec, Molten Shell never explodes because it keeps recasting. Molten Shell's 200% damage effectiveness makes it a very good choice in this build (because I depend on flat damage gem).

I can also swap in the usual VMS and get 8 hits/sec.

My intention is to keep CWDT level as low as possible, so that self-damage is lower and effective lifepool is actually "higher". Once I 6-link, I might even drop my CWDT level depending on my testing.
