2.3 Fakener (budget fake Mjölner) build - Trickster Version

This is my setup atm, been doing t8-10 since 68. died a couple of times to double merv in necro, but otherwise it's been good. Curse immune, no regen is a huge pain though. Need to get better boots/belt.

Also thinking of getting a taste of hate to replace my ring mod, but i don't think it'd be as consistent.

I'm running ES version of the build, just started farming dried lakes in merc, and I have a few questions.

1) What stats do you value most on jewels? Presumably 8% ES is a must, then crit multi/various elemental crit multi? How good is +2-3 ES per enemies hit by your attack?

2) Let's assume I'm using a 5L with cyclone-coc-vortex-discharge-crit strike. What are the most cost-effective routes to running dual blasphemy curses + discipline? I need a way to land additional curses (damning or corrupted ammy), i need a way to reserve 3x 35% reserve auras and still have mana left over for cyclone, and I need a low enough mana cost on cyclone to be able to spam non-stop. Anybody got a cheap solution for me that doesn't gimp me too badly?

3) On my extremely thin budget, I'm wondering what is the better goal:
Maligaro's? No ES hurts badly, very expensive, but gotta love the crit stats
Voidbringer? Lots of ES and spell crit looks sexy, but increased mana cost will probably crush my dreams of affordable dual cursing
ES gloves? Similar ES to voidbringer on same budget with some resists, potentially some IAS and/or cold damage to attacks

I'm leaning toward rare ES gloves, unless I can't find a way to affordably run dual blasphemy curses.

4) Would it be easier to run second curse in CWDT setup? Would something like CWDT-spell that hits alot-CoC-AM work well? Potentially with Voidbringer gloves to boost the proc chance?

Yes, without cold or fire damage, you should avoid EE.

I got 94.96% lv88. I'll post my gear+tree later if asked, but it is the alvuimil tree. Only the gear is a bit different.

The Damage is real with this build!

I've been working on a Lowlife version.

The only required items are a 5L Shavrone Wrappings (7ex now on Talisman SC), and the +1 curse ring Doedre's Damning Paua Ring (5-10c)

Features:
Dual curse: Assasin Mark(BM) + Warlord Mark (Mana)
Clarity (BM)
Discipline (Mana)
Herald of Ice / Purity room in mana.
No need of Elreon jewelry
Spell crit and ES (800-1k more) boost by Voidbringer Gloves
Blood Rage = Frenzy charges
Righteous Fire (hard to sustain)
Damage skyrocket (35k on my old CI version to 55k on Lowlife, Full charges, no atziri flask or RF)


NOTE: Nothing is optimized







I've tried this for mapping, swapping Power Charge on Crit gem for Increased Aoe, works wonderfull for clearing.





Discharge stats with Increased critical damage instead Increased critical strikes


Righteous Fire + Atziri Flask + Conc Effect instead Increased critical strikes, and SKYFORTH

Yeah that is awesome your dmg is ridiculous. Didnt think about using Blood Rage for frenzy. That's cool. It doesnt get scarey using it together with RF? I am also using Deodre's Damning. Double Curse is sick.

A note I might add jsut kinda rrandom. Adrenaline Quicksilver flasks super underrated. Not really a lot of talk about them on here but it will immensely improve the feel of the build.

Always have it with me


I don't run RF + Blood rage, normally only Blood Rage. RF is hard to sustain even with Ruby flask

Outrageous damage! But how does that build fare in the survivability department?

Isn't it more difficult to reach maximum charges quickly without Voll's?

AFAIK Power Charge on Crit and Skyforth boots only grant one power charge per crit, regardless of pack size.

Also, where are you getting your frenzy charges from, and doesn't the cold damage defeat the effectiveness of EE?
