Build Logic - The Why's of the Build

Doryani's Scepters


When most poeople see these scepters, they only think of the +100% elemental damage to support spells. However, I see a 300pdps weapon with +100% weapon elemental damage with 6.68 crit chance. Even better, you get to leech from that critical strike chance as well.

When using damage conversion skills, all the added effects like Herald of Ash, and Added Fire, and Taste of Hate all have their damage based on the physical BEFORE conversion. This is then multiplied by 3 for each of these gems from only the weapons, and then by another 1.5ish from the WeD gem.

There is no physical damage dealt because of 100% damage conversion effected by


DPS Calculation of Ele vs Phys Damage

This explanation will only include basic estimates of calculations with Taste of Hate, Herald of Ash, Added Fire, Weapon Elemental Damage (gem), and the ele dmg boost of 100% per scepter. Remember that all ele dmg Added As boosts that are based on physical happen before conversion as per the wiki under the ADDED AS portion.

[30% cold (hatred) + 39% fire (added fire) + 15% fire (herald of ash) + 100% fire (active skill + phys-to-light)] * 300% (scepters) * 159% (WeD gem) = 877% elemental damage compared to original phys dps

Life Leech

The new life/mana leech nodes, Vitality Void and Spirit Void, near the Duelist start are absolutely amazing and vital for this build. I currently have .4% elemental leech from weapons and 1.6% attack damage leech from the skill tree --> 2% life leeched total. Let's assume 60k damage with Taste of Hate and 6,000 health. Getting to Vitality Void also gives + 40% leech speed (or you can just use Atziri's Acuity):

80k * .02 = 1,200 hp leeched per second per enemy hit

6k * (0.2 * 1.4) = 1,680 hp possible max leech per second

IMHO, defense on belts is better than offense if you have to choose. Both is better, of course, but don't get a Doryani's Invitation over a belt with good life rolls.

Physical > Elemental for jewelry

Almost all the damage in this build starts out as physical and either is added as damage based on the physical (Hatred, Added Fire, Herald of Ash) or is damage conversion also based on physical (Molten/Wild Strike, Physical to Lightning). What this build excels at is bumping this elemental damage to ridiculous levels.

Because of this, the best offense stats on jewelry are as follows:
1) Critical strike Chance
2) Added Physical
3) Critical Damage Multiplier (amulet or Maligaro's gloves)
4-5) Accuracy
4-5) Weapon Elemental

6L Gems for Active Skills

These are the support gems I use in order of importance.
Added Fire --> Lightning/Wild Strike
Added Cold --> Molten Strike
This allows for gem swapping and keeping same colors with relatively little change in damage.


Multistrike > Physical to Lightning > Weapon Elemental Damage > Faster Attacks > Added Fire

We want to use gems that give the most out of the melee AND projectiles portion of the attack. We don't want any gems that focus only on one or the other. Examples of gems to avoid:

Melee Physical - Concentrated Effect - Greater/Lesser Multiple Projectiles - Increased AOE

Mana vs Blood Magic

No more debate with Spirit Void passive. Mana all the way!

Importance of Flasks

Here are my current flasks for armor build:



For evasion/dodge build, replace the Rumi's Concoction with:



Whenever I come up to a reflect mob, I use either Rumi's or a Jade flask since reflect from attacks can be evaded or blocked. You can even use both if on the armor version if desired.

Reflect

Reflect isn't a big deal from mobs any more, just map mods. If you don't have Atziri's Acuity, then don't do elemental reflect maps. If you have it, be careful and keep Rumi's Concoctions or Jade Flasks handy.

Point Blank & Iron Grip
This is if you're ONLY using Molten Strike.
Iron Grip = NO

The 6/7 in the projectile portion of my calculation is for my estimation of melee physical damage including strength, melee only damage nodes, and multistrike. I figured that if I removed 10 str, my damage would go a certain amount down. I used this to infer the rest of the melee only damage from the tooltip DPS since it won't be included in the projectile damage. While everyone will have a different amount of strength, I think that 6/7 is a good starting point estimate for 100% damage conversion calculations in general.

Since 6/7 = 18/21, Iron Grip will add about 1/3 of the missing damage (21-18 = 3; 1/3 * 3 = 1 --> 1/21) to the projectiles, so they would have only a debuff of 19/21. IMO, this isn't worth the extra points just to travel to it.

DPS calculations with Iron Grip:

266K theoretical MS DPS = 80k [tooltip] + 80k * (19/21) [for projectile damage] * 3 [projectiles] * .6 [projectile debuff] * (1.43125) [point blank]

266 / 256 = 1.039 = +3.9%

204k realistic DPS = 80k [tooltip] + 80k * (19/21) [for melee only damage] * 2 [projectiles] * .6 [projectile debuff] * (1.43125) [point blank]

204 / 197 = 1.035 = +3.5%

Compare this low bonus to the Point Blank bonus in the next spoiler.

Point Blank = YES

With Molten Strike projectile range = 5-20, point blank improves 6/16, or 3/8, of the balls (5-->10) by 50% and the other 5/8 (11-->20) by a linear 48% --> 30% (each unit of distance from 10 to 35 has a 2% lower increase in damage).

DPS Calulation of Point Blank multiplicative damage bonus.

3/8 * 50% [5 to 10 units] + 5/8 * (48% + 30%) / 2 [11-20 units] = 43.125%

DPS Calculations with vs without point blank (see iron grip calculations for w/ PB dmg)

203K theoretical DPS w/o PB = 80k [tooltip] + 80k * (6/7) [for projectile damage] * 3 [projectiles] * .6 [projectile debuff]

256 / 203 = 1.261 = +26%

162k realistic DPS w/o PB = 80k [tooltip] + 80k * (6/7) [for projectile damage] * 2 [projectiles] * .6 [projectile debuff]

197 / 162 = 1.216 = +22%

22% of total DPS is MUCH better than Iron Grip which only is about 3.5%

22 / 3.5 = about 6x more effective

Leveling Guide

Mainly just follow the path while getting some dmg and life nodes on the way. I don't generally like leveling with this build, but if you do, I'd suggest Resolute Technique until lvl 75 when you can use the Doryani scepters.

[TREES NOT YET UPDATED AND ARE FROM 1.3.]

Level 20

Level 40

Level 60

Level 75

[PRE-POE 1.3]


Character Stats


Tooltip = 115k (Lightning and Molten strikes are the same). Includes Hatred, Herald of Ash, Herald of Thunder, and 3 power charges. (No vaal skills or Atziri Flask.) Who else has 7k AND Acrobatics w/o Kaom's Heart?
Current Offensive Stats
1st Pic: Molten Strike
2nd Pic: Lightning Strike





Current Defensive Stats


This is a theoretical DPS if you use Maligaro's Virtuosity and Abyssus.
Theoretical Stats
233k tooltip DPS = 747k


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[PRE-POE 1.3]


DPS

Tooltip DPS = 126k

Total DPS Calculation

Theoretical Molten Strike DPS --> 404K = 126k [tooltip] + 126k * (6/7) [for melee only damage] * 3 [projectiles] * .6 [projectile debuff] * (1.43125) [point blank]

Realistic DPS --> 311K = 126k [tooltip] + 126k * (6/7) [for melee only damage] * 2 [projectiles] * .6 [projectile debuff] * (1.43125) [point blank]

Gems
NOT UPDATED since 1.3


Doryani's Catalyst 1 - Movement Setup that proliferates group freeze/burn/chill


Chest - Lightning Strike is better solo clear speed. Molten Strike is for groups and tough bosses.


Doryani's Catalyst 2 - Purity of Fire is mainly just for Uber Atziri


Helm - Herald of Lightning with Mana Leech is just amazing...especially with the higher mana cost Lightning Strike


Atziri's Acuity - cwdt Setup


Boots - Curse and Vaal Skills. Spell Totem + Enfeeble are for Atziri.

Hello!
I love your build, but I'am little "paper". I have too less armour or spellblock, block.
What Can I do?

2 options:

1) replace hatred with grace for more armour

2) use 1 or 2 rumi's concoction. it gives you so much block%.

Also, are you using duelist or another character?
