[2.4] low life Mjolner supertank done right by Rico

Testing BL vs Bosses and yes it works!

No flask usage so you can see charges at top bar

Malformation Boss



Vault Boss

Maybe Dual curse it´s not needed, because as said @Evander1992 in your life Mjölner version "Boss monsters have a 0.4 multiplier to calculate curse effectiveness. If we look at a lv20 ele weakness (-39% all res), we can find that on bosses, this is reduced to -15%.".

So with those 3 nodes we can get Celestial Judgment : 32% elemental damage (+1.2K dpu) + damage penetrates 2% elem. res ALWAYS or take x3 ES Witches nodes. Also, we can put Empower lv4 + Discipline lv21 and get Discipline lv 26 (so +200 ES).

And only x1 curse: Enfeeble + Celestial Judgment + RF (really big bosses like Shaper or Uber Atziri)

Any ideas?:-)

0.4? I was sure it was 0.6 o_O


EDIT: From the wiki: "Act and map bosses have 60% less Curse Effect."

Fuuuuuuu....k! Thats a whole different story in dmg and leech calculations!


EDIT2:

setup - DPS - ES leech/s (vs 40% ele resistance Boss)


1) Current so 20/20 EW on 20/20 Blasphemy, life Leech gem: 88.7k DPS, 1774 ES leech

2) LPen + WM on 20/20 Blasphemy: 95.4k DPS, 763 ES leech

3) Celestial Punishment, life leech gem: 77.1k DPS, 1542 ES leech

4) Life leech gem + WM on 20/20 Blasphemy: 68.6k DPS, 1920 ES leech


So current setup still best, uff.

Extract from reddit:

Also it means that Enfeeble vs boss works as 12% less incoming dmg, or 12% more ES multiplier. So with your 6411 ES thats like 7180 ES vs Boss. Still better than without double curse setup but just slightly (you can reach 7k es with Alphas Howl and empowered lvl 21 Discipline and no 2x lvl 4 Enlighten required) raising now a question mark: is it 180 more ES worth some serious EX investment?

Even so, with this ammount of currency maybe a pro-level ES shield will be a better option?

And..Celestial Judgment + EW on BP Quality 23 (11% inc. effect.) + 5 charges and about 14K dpu?

111k DPS, 2200 ES leech.


edit: Calculator




File->Make a copy

Than you can edit as yours.

This calculator shows a snapshot from facetank with number of active power/endu charges. Dmg done by Arc/BL not included, Discharge only. This is basically what will be happening 90% of the time when facetanking.

Finally i´ll go with EWeakness up, so the more damage you do the faster regen you gain.

Hi there,

been following your Mjölner guides...and found this guys post:

Spoiler

http://forum.gamer.com.tw/C.php?bsn=18966&snA=99946&locked=F&page=1&gothis=395681#395681

Anyone able to decrypt what he is using / passive tree ?
Seems like some legacy items are used (leg. Vinctars), but can't figure out the rest.

Anyone here with more info about that build ?

Hello there, yes i have translated the Garena build Low Life Pathfinder and played it for the last two days. Its by far the strongest Mjolner build there is. I have written a guide based on it with Shaper and all guardian down videos check it out: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1750841

So yes, this build is the best Mjölner atm BUT, you need Lv97 for taking x2 Witch ES nodes and +1ED/+1PC

You might consider your statement if you check low life Pathfinder. As a disclaimer im not claiming to have invented it, instead im bringing it to US/Europe Forums.

Damn... you have some patience and willpower. For me its a language of bushes. Will read as well.


EDIT: Reviewed it, watched the videos. Its very nice. However theres one problem: its a flask based build, more than that its based on a single Ascendancy node in order for it to even work ("Master Surgeon", same as all current meta BV Pathfinders). This, Im 100% sure, will be nerfed, and after that build is dead. So if anyone has a spare Ranger to respec or a will to lvl up one from scratch - sure. But It wont last long.

DPS of linked build, calculated based on Minotaur fight under Enfeeble curse is around 246k. It is around 20-30k higher than this build with VoV up. However the main difference here is that linked build has almost 100% VoV flask uptime, both for DPS and crazy leech. But as I said: it wont last long. It will be the same sad story as with 2.3. Jugg.
