[2.6] Scold's Return [EA, Crit, Zerphi's, Scold's] (Shaper & Guardians down)
|
Hi,
here a short guide for experienced players: (no video, slow laptop) Pros:
Spoiler
+amazing waveclear +shotguns +unkillable except for 1 shot +Tier 1 pvp build can outregen Scorching Ray with max effect Cons:
Spoiler
-hard to set up -prone to suicides whithout Maximum Attention always -high costs ~20ex for Minimum gear Obligatory items: ->Quill Rain ->Praxis ->Kaom's Heart [7.5k+ hp] (legacy [9.2k+] prefered) or Belly of the Beast when enough life ->Scold's Bridle ->Zerphi's Last Breath My gear and links: or + (Scold's enchant for crit for flask charges in longer pvm battles) My stats lvl89:
Spoiler
life: 8670 (9200+ lvl93) life regen: 532 mana: 3200 mana regen: 522 (Atziri's Foible) / 346 (Choir of the Storm) [no Clarity] EA aps: 8 (with Ascendancy) Res: 193, 204, 210 (-30 Choir of the Storm) HO (no flasks used) passive tree lvl100: passive tree lvl93: My jewels: My flasks: (Chalice for prolonged fights, swap Quicksilver) Short explanantion:
Spoiler
Goal 1: every 0.25sec activation of lvl21 cwdt -> 8 attacks per second = must be perfect 8 -> high enough mana costs of EA -> enough mana pool + regen + dmg gained as mana to compensate and NOT die bc of too much gain Goal 2: perm flasks -> all flask passives -> flask belt -> massive crit for surgeon The math:
Spoiler
EA mana cost: 489 APS: 8 CWDT trigger: 3580 CWDT cd: 0.25sec 489*4 (scold's)= 1956dmg /ea use 8x ea uses /sec = 1956dmg /0.125sec =3912dmg /0.25sec =perfect lvl21 cwdt every 0.25sec (too much or too less aps will drastically decrease dmg) Mana consumption:
Spoiler
Your main mana source is dmg taken gained as mana. Your EA mana costs * aps is too high to regen or leech, because leech is rare and is not instant but leech helps a lot. try to get the lowest possible value of dmg taken as mana because this will reduce the dependancy on enemy attacks (important for pvp and boss fight). I have got 14% of dmg as mana with 522 mana/sec and that is enough to spam 2-3 ea/sec on low mana and lets you regen in under 6sec to full mana. ___________________________________________________________________________ FULL BLOCK VERSION: additional items: +Rainbow Strides with 2% regen enchant (needs tier 1 legacy Rumi's, swap ring+amu with previous) The Math:
Spoiler
Armour: 11227
EA cost: 658 658*4 (Scold's)= 2632 Armour prevention: ~28% =~1900 self dmg /0.125sec -> perfect lvl21 cwdt activation every 0.25sec Molten Shell:
Spoiler
tested with lvl17 Molten Shell and works but Molten Shell will only activate 2x /sec and further reduces mana gained - melee range =not worth ================================================= Guardians:
Spoiler
-Hardest- 1. Phoenix!! (only cyclone can kill me, try to avoid) 2. Hydra (can 1shot with Barrage?, just run and spam, else easy fight) 3. Minotaur (highest 1shot potential, can facetank [depends on mods], else dodge all 4. Chimera (facetank, easiest fight) Shaper:
Spoiler
just run around with Quicksilver Flask, cwdt will autoaim: # try to avoid slam and balls (depends on your life and zerphi recovery) # can stay in ground effect and laser # avoid immortal Phase with Cluster ball attack ign: fanimala Last edited by fanimala on May 1, 2017, 11:40:24 AM Last bumped on May 1, 2017, 10:44:30 AM

there are some improvements you can do i think, of course i won't tell them since you are my rival in arena. haha, good luck. open another thread in pvp discussion too.
"You have great power. You're right to be proud. It's unfortunate you have to die now, but I will honor you with 45% of my strength."

" I hope so, too. This build is made for PVM and actually quite good in pvp. Thanks for the Response! :) I could swap Praxis for a rare ring with 6% gain and amulet with 4-6% (prefer atziri's bc mana). ign: fanimala Last edited by fanimala on Apr 26, 2017, 5:20:08 PM

Viable with normal kaoms heart? or belly of the beast could be better? (6l belly for more spells damage)
|

" Absolutely viable with normal Kaom's. I get ~7.5k life with normal Kaom's but your effective life pool vs 1shots is your: max life - (EA costs* scolds) added Choir of the Storm for additional 40k DPS. PS: belly is a MASSIVE DPS INCREASE but you will have like 6.6k life ign: fanimala Last edited by fanimala on Apr 30, 2017, 8:33:00 PM
