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?

Survability is practically the same than CI (u gain 1,5k ES more coming from shav and voidbringers), better than Hybrid (higher "life pool", still vulnerable to chaos though it degen on ur ES, that u have plenty, instead on 2k- HP)

Pcharge on crit and skyforth stacks so its 53+25=78% to gain a power charge on crit VS 100% of volls, but with blade vortex isnt much a problem, im always full of charges, even when i run only skyforth and NO Pcharge on crit in the chest i have enough charges to 1shot packs. For short, u lose 22% to gain a power charge on crit but u double ur damage.

Blood Rage, gives u 25% chance to get a Frenzy charge on kill and X% aspeed. If you run cold to spell / attack on any item ur EE will still proc against Cold damage, Frenzy charges not only gives cold damage, also boost ur attack by 4% for each charge and ur attack speed 4% each charge

I dont run RF 100% uptime either. Only for bosses usually. So as long as your focused on the boss you're safe cause the leech from Warlords tops you off each discharge. This could get tricky if you add blood rage to it though but its an extra like 60% spell dmg at lvl 20.

Try it if you have room in your armor. Great to burn down the boss. I'll pop it, go to town on the boss and in the end ill just let it fall off and ill top myself off with my seethings (care not to be standing in fire or consecrated ground).

Edit: Tried Blood Rage and it feels great. Actually a lot safer than RF. Also dont run RF and Blood Rage together lol I tried it. Blood Rage does not stop at 1 HP like RF.

Usually belt is last slot to fill up ur ress, if u got capped ress u can use it of course, i managed to cap my ress and now i use

Hi guys,
do you think it might be a good idea for my current gear to switch to CI? I know about the benefits and have been reading this thread for quite some while now, but I'm unsure regarding my gear.
Main questions are: Do I have a bigger "lifepool" afterwards? Rly more survivability if considering stuns?
Right now I'm at 5274 ES with lvl20 Discipline, 1969 Life and 55 Chaos Res.
Things I know that are not optimized and I'm working on:

Dagger (Multimod on the way, Elreon just needs a little bit more XP)
Jewels (at least some of them)
Neck (waiting for a guy to come online)
and of course the 6L (1150 Fuses so far....)
later I even might thinking about multimodding my rings - already have one with only 30dex and nothing else

Any other gear recommendations besides Voll's Devo, Skyforth and Shavs (man I wish i had them :P)?

Thank you!


Gear:



Passive Tree:

My gear so far...I'm not really satisfied using Mana Leech through Curses. Some Mobs are Curse imune and Bosses always have a reduced Curse effect. I'm able to do all the high Tier Maps, Mala @ Core Map is a bit difficult but possible. Have not tried Uber Atziri so far, which is the final goal. Since I'm CI I cant use RF though.





Next thing I'm gonna upgrade is my dagger. I want to switch it for a Skean with a bit lower APS but with more Crit. After that a lvl 21 Discharge.

I also tried to squeeze in some IIR. I'm @ 60% atm. Of course the ES suffers a little bit because it is harder to find IIR on items and some IIR rolls are Prefixes which means lesser ES. I also might swap the increased Crit gem for the IIQ gem quite soon.

I played pure phys Cyclone with Atziri Disfavour before and CoC Cyclone is much better. Whirling Blades alone boosts the Clearspeed a lot!

8250 ES
3.75 APS
90% crit Chance on Discharge
85% crit Chance on Cyclone

Springstoff can you show your passive tree with jewels please?

Sure...here you go:


The rare Jewels have:

increased global Crit
increased max ES
reduced mana cost of skills

With the reduced mana cost I get the cost for Cyclone down to 4-5 Mana. Even with Quicksilver and Cyclone-clicking right on my feet my mana does not run out.

Has anyone being able to do this build with more than 168% hp on tree? I dont seem to find a good path on the tree with more hp, I would like to play this on HC but with only 168%hp on a melee char I would surely rip. Can anybody help me out with this?

Honestly I dont think there'a HC viable life build basically because of what you said. Im playing Softcore life version Lvl 89 and its rough right now. i only have 104% HP lol. EVEN if I specced out of dmg and filled up my life wheel it only takes me to 129%, sitting at 3.94k on softcore.

My gameplay consists a lot of rerolling extra dmg maps. -max res or ele weakness is a no go. even cc/ crit multi.

Glass cannon softcore, such is life.
