[2.6/3.0] [HC, Videos in Comments] Fidelitas's Trickster Cyclone--Uber Iz down

Hey, how is your mana reserved almost 100% when u've only wrath and HoT up? Isn't it only 66% mana reserved when these on are active?

And thanks for the video!

Also blaspheming conductivity. With the charisma nodes taking all three reserves almost 100% of mana.

On the "Pics or it didn't happen theory" here is a link to the new version of the build (vaal pact+berek's grip) taking on an ele reflect Dunes map at lvl 76.

Why is Hyaons fury not considered in this builds?

Discussed in comments. Did briefly look at.and try equipping hyaon's. Found it to be inferior for these reasons:

1. Damage was in similar range to fid spike because of low attack speed of Hyaon's. (1.3 VA. 2.08)

2. Whirling blades much slower because of low attack speed (hence slower overall clear speed and less fun to play)

3. Loss of shock chance felt significant in the version of the build not using innervate. (Would be non-issue in updated variation)

4. Extra damage taken felt suicidal in HC where the build was created and tested.

Note to self, shared for your education and entertainment: Using vaal cyclone in a beyond map runs a small, but apparently very real risk of summoning Bameth while you are standing on a giant pile of corpses and temporarily unable to move. The vaal detonate dead that follows is unsurvivable. RIP one more HC char.

But the new version of the build was still very fun to play. Just don't make that tactical error. :)

Final update to build from most recent experiment: Because evasion transmuted to armor contributes much more to the solidity of the build than es, the energized armor jewel can be slotted into the jewel slot near the central life/es cluster to excellent effect. a 20% jewel will result in 70% inc armor. Which is quite significant.

I am playing the character after a year with out playing the game and i like it but i want to try some other ideas ( hyaons was the first one ).

Can we make the herald of lightnint and herald of frost cycling work in this build ( i mean like the bomberman builds). Seems like they have some sinergy with us.


Ideas please, im really lost about how to do it work :_D

Re: HOT/HOI cycling with 3 dragons mask:

I took a look at the build you referenced. This is an interesting mechanic, but I think the variations required to make it work well (mask, assassin subclass, Doryani's or substitute) really make it a different build that I have yet to experiment with. If you find a way to incorporate those elements, I would be interested to hear about it. As always, a build guide is only a jumping off point.

How much those things are necesary? I was thinking about "Call of the broterhood" ring to try to play with the freezing proc in our lightning skills.

I dont know if it will be enough to be honest.

Actually im playing the fidelitas one with a bunch of changes like:

    Bronn's Lithe, Cutthroat's Garb
    Doryani's Invitation, Heavy Belt
    Esh's Mirror, Thorium Spirit Shield
    Berek's Grip, Two-Stone Ring    
Call of the Brotherhood, Two-Stone Ring

Also testing this combination:

    The Wise Oak, Bismuth Flask    
Prismweave, Rustic Sash


im lvl 68 atm so im just trying different stuff, my only problem is ele resists coz all those uniques but im just trying things.

I will like to know your oppinion about both, the heralds build and my current uniques ( sorry i dont know how to link them)
