End Game Freezing Pulse RF/PA Guide-60k dps 8k es

out of interest is there any way of me using this build without having shavronnes armour? i am currently saving for it but only half way at the moment and i am looking at chaning my skill tree to this build now so i deal the extra dmg. i will look to only farm areas which dont have chaos mobs, although i guess it will make maps nearly impossible due to the unknown mob sets?

Without Shavronne, you lose pain attunement, righteous fire, and blood rage...

Aka you lose about 120% MORE spell damage, cast speed, and charges.


You can run this build without Shavronne, but then it is just a FP build and won't do the obnoxious amounts of damage.

How about the Bandits Quests?

How would you lose all those things? You could still run everything without the wrappings... but any slight amount of chaos dmg would destroy you instantly.

Also, as with every build I make.. I always kill the bandits.

Yes I am pretty screwed on the bandit rewards with this build...I went 40 HP, skill, skill...seemed like a good idea at the time.

nice stuff. I currently have a RF/PA Shavronne's spork totem witch. Instead of getting ghost reaver, those three points, get me totems.

I like the ur build, and the OP build, but i really think its beneficial to get double curses for any shavronnes rf/pa build. Its a HUGE dps gain to be able to drop mobs cold resists close to 0 (before cold penetration gem). With that gem if the mob has 0 resists u get like 35% MORE damage. it wont show up on tooltip dps, but in reality thats friggin huge. a huge gain and theres practically no tradeoff in the spec.

Heres what i would change in ur build to get double curses.



u end up losing a little crit, but essentially i just swapped a couple 10 int/10str points around, took the Power siphon pts on the shadow side (to get into the shadow tree with less wasted points).

Another thing, Im not really sure its worthwhile to start screwing around in the templar tree. It costs alot of points to get in there for not much substance imo. why get the templar elemental damage if u can get it in the witch tree (heart of ice). If you want the crit multiplier take it in the witch tree too!. If u need the ES regen, get it from the maraduer tree its 50% better and costs 2 fewer points to reach. The points you save can be used in the shadow tree (its got the most bang for the buck in the game!)

With trolls blood and vitality I can keep RF up in 25% slower regen. (and i have much less ES than you.)

double curse variation with maraduer regen.



This build overall, has more spelldamage, cast speed, 1.5% es regen (which is a big survivability boost and lets you do more map mods). lastly, the BIG dps increase via double curses, and i cant stress it enough double curses are HUGE for a RF/PA build. It sacrifices some crit/crit multiplier, and body and soul ES.

Why not just figure out a way to make Doedre or Windscream work if you want double curse, seems like a monster passive investment to go up there. I do however like Troll's Blood, I want to figure out a way to slide down there, maybe even pick up +1 endurance charge, .2regen per charge and Cruelty too.

This may not be the case for other RF/PA specs/builds, but for fireball doing 72 and under maps it's ele weak 1shot em all on crits, 2shots non-crit. Double curse for higher maps might be in order for higher maps, ele weak/flamm sounds cool.

Can you link your offhand/shield?

do you guys keep your blood magic item on all the time? or do you swap it over when activating the auras and then wear something else?

Just wondering if you can swap two items if they have the same auras on them and that will mean u dont have to wear a blood magic item when actually playing, or would this simple cancel the aura that you just put on using the blood magic item.

I run blood rage often, when I remember to hit the damn button and fly through fast enough not to lose charges... I can also gain power charges, though it's a pain since I do not run power charge on crit in my 5L.

Also, I use frostbite and cold pen in my 5L. I would never use all those nodes to grab dual curses. Would hate to drop some mana regen and reduced mana nodes... I'm really not wanting to run mana leech or change around too much of my already pricey gear. BUT my wife plays this game about half the time I do and I made had her make a 100% support build with conduit, dual curses, 6+ auras and tons of MF. :)
