[3.2] LL Abberath's Bomber
|
Fell in love with the new Elementalist changes - and am having a blast playing this in bestiary!
Pros & Cons
Spoiler
Fast map clear
Relatively cheap and budget friendly Shatter everything Flexible gear Lots of penetration Clears up to T14 comfortably Kinda Squishy Strength/Dexterity starved *Moderate single target damage Can't do Physical/Elemental Reflect map rolls Can't do Ailment Resist map rolls Preview

Chest: Helmet: Gloves: Boots: *I preferred Innervate over Added Lightning since it also applies to heralds **Ice bite for Frenzy charges - can Swap for Increased Area of Effect Dagger: *Can swap portal with Quality Culling Strike or Forifty - your preference Shield: *Can run any golem - Lightning is probably best Blade vortex? Yep! You can make a map boss setup on a 4L easy, and with elder/shaper helmet bases a 6L is just as possible. Links that help damage: Empower - Controlled Destruction - Concentrated Effect - Physical Damage to Lightning Links for QoL: Increased Duration Ice bite on Abberath's? Frenzy Charges! You wouldn't think it but you can sustain them through a map even while maintaining blade vortex ... and Innervate? You can choose to run Added Lightning Damage, but the Innervate buff is global - it applies to heralds, choir lightning bolt, and Abberath's Why use Arcane Surge on Blade vortex? Well, we don't really want to kill the mobs with this - it's more of a benefit for safety and buffing our other skills (Spell damage does not apply to Heralds!), the other benefits are QoL - you can substitute *Power Charge on Critical Strike if you can't get a ring with Curse on Hit! Why low life? We needed some way to scale our damage heralds which would increase their reservation (which is why they are both a 5l) while also being able to use all 3 :D that meant reserving life for Herald of Ash which wouldn't be possible being life based. The final aura was a no-brainer, Discipline - duh! *You can however omit Herald of Ash completely - which would allow you to go life based Gear

Get Abberath's at level 12, and use all 3 heralds as soon as you get
(Dual wield Axiom Perpetuum or The Screaming Eagle) Then setup a 4l or 6l blade vortex and you should be good to go until blood aquaducts Can swap over to Low life as soon as you reach 69, but would wait till 75-80 If you can't run herald of ash and discipline on life without enlighten 3, you can grab the mana reservation nodes by ranger (5 points) Normal Lab: Pendulum of Destruction Cruel Lab: Mastermind of Discord Merc Lab: Shaper of Desolation Uber Lab: Beacon of Ruin Passives

Hey I've made this build following your directions. It's a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to seeing how it works at higher levels (when I actually have gear and gem links setup properly).
