Awesome build, I change The Vertex to rare helmet to cap the resis now i can facetank almost every boss that life berserker can't do


Thx. Without the Vertex you'll have issues with T13 Plaza The Goddes and T16 Chimera.

As I said in the Rainbownuke thread we've built somewhat similar overall and came to the same conclusions overtime about this build. I remember building this way back when Ascendancy first came out in the original Rainbownuke thread and I did have a lot of fun playing with it and here's my take on it:


Current Gear

Spoiler



**Please note the gems in my 6L setup are like that for running in parties when someone already is cursing with WLM either CoH or Blasphemy. Otherwise there's CoH + Elemental Weakness in there.


I'll link my jewels later on, but the nice thing about this build is that you can get 7-8 jewel sockets, which offer very nice ways of upping your spell damage as well as your energy shield, and I could probably get close to 8k es if I wanted to do some point switching around on the tree. I find that I do not need Immortal Call at all in this setup, which to some might be sacrelage, but physical damage isn't the issue for me in this build, but rather elemental damage is the most dangerous, even with the higher resists. The Elreon ring makes it so I need only LGoH jewel for sustaining my attacks, which also means No Regen maps are no problem.

The biggest difference is that I run Headhunter over Auxium, and while that means I will have to be a bit more careful around cold damage, my Sapphire Flask is usually more than enough to take care of any freezing issues. Though I'll likely try to reroll it for slightly better recharge mods, and the Ruby Flask is one I could probably switch out for something else as I don't find cursing to be a huge issue on me and it obviously doesn't work on map-induced curses. Headhunter is definitely a bit pricey and most people will likely go with Auxium, but it does make getting stat requirements on gear a lot easier and it makes Temp Chains maps way more tolerable.

Everything else should be pretty self-explanatory. Though as for my passive tree...


Passive Tree



We're pretty much thinking along the same lines and I planned this one out about two weeks ago, just was too lazy to get around to posting about it. :p Was enjoying the Rainbownuke on my Mara character, and finally got around to getting everything done. Granted, right now this is only a level 91 tree and I will be trying to get to level 95 max since GGG somehow believes that level 100 is some sacred cow that shouldn't be touched. That said, at 95 I plan to grab Celestial Punishment and then switch out the one aura increase node in the Templar aura circle and then spend three points to grab the spell damage nodes and jewel socket in the Scion area. That will let me socket in some additional Spell Damage and ES, and make the build hit that much harder, which is really the only thing I think this build needs to improve upon.

As far as tankiness...I teamed up with Tackl70 last night and we did a Tier 15 Colosseum map with some increased critical strike chance mods. I ran right up to 'Daresso' and face-tanked him the entire fight, even getting frozen a few times, but nothing serious. And yes, his spinning swords were a joke to me. :p Abyss was also not hard at all, and really the only bosses that gave me issues was Rigwald and the Goddess, but those can be worked around with proper flasks. Shavronne as well, but that's just making sure I watch out for her reflect aura and lightning balls.

Also, this build CAN DO ELEMENTAL REFLECT MAPS so long as it's also not -max resist. You'll definitely want to switch out your shield for Saffel's Frame (legacy version is great if you have one) and use Molten Strike if you want to play it very safe. However, with the LL gem attached to Arc and Discharge, you'll be fine with Lightning Strike. And speaking of bosses...I do switch out LS for Culling Strike and Arc for either Conc. Effect or Controlled Destruction depending on the fight. Boss fights with high amounts of adds you can keep Arc in and it will do solid damage.

Otherwise...not totally done with the build...that won't be until 95, and if by some really crazy chance I ever went to 100...not sure where I'd put the last 5 points in my tree at. :p That said, though...yeah...very fun build variant that I'm glad I finally got around to tweaking and updating.
-----------------

Tanakeah thx for sharing. Your setup looks good aswell. I agree that getting more DPS is the only thing that build needs right now. And for that a nice shield you have there...

However I see that you dont use empowered lvl 21 puritys, you're lossing +2 to max ele resistances this way. This is why ele dmg is more dangerous to you.

Also either shield or ring should have chaos resist on it. This will stack up with The Vertex allowing easier times vs bosses such as The Goddes or Chimera.

Now last thing: I'm not sure that Innervate works with your 6l chest setup. Chance to shock is one thing, having that shock applied is another. For that you must be doing at least 5% of targets maximum life with your lightning dmg. I doubt that Lightning strike or Molten strike are able to achieve that.

EDIT: I mentioned you as the original "build idea" creator in "please read first" section.

Cool, cool, didn't see that under the please read first section, but then again, I should've opened it to see. :p

About Innervate...that is actually up quite a bit of time, believe it or not, and it's because of the "On Killing a Shocked Enemy". The support gem doesn't care about what source you use to initiate a shock on an enemy, be it Lightning Strike, Arc, Discharge, and I even think VoV will work as well. The only thing that needs to be fulfilled is that Lightning Strike must land the killing blow, and considering how much damage Arc can do and it's already decent shock rate chance on its own, Onslaught is up a decent amount of the time. However, again, this is mostly used for a party setup, and as stated those two slots are usually fitted with CoH + EW.

Even without empowered Purity auras, I don't have too many issues with elemental damage, and I prefer a 6L setup for my attacks, though I could surely switch some gems around and use MS + LS + FA + Multi S. in The Vertex. As far as Chaos Resist goes on a ring...that would be nice to have, but trying to get an Elreon ring with everything that I'd want isn't exactly easy to find, but I can certainly try and look for something on the market and see if I get lucky.
And what build until mjölnir I could use? And what kind of things??

You mean while lvling? If so go facebraker life based. Than after reaching stats requirements for Mjolner respec out of life nodes.
