Thanks!

And yeah KB is insanely good!

If you have any questions feel free to ask!

I do have some questions if you don't mind.

Regarding supports I was wondering if you tested alternatives to Crit Damage? Since ICD got nerfed so hard, gems like Added Fire and Phys Proj Damage became much more competitive.

I would appreciate hearing your thoughts on possible alternatives before I sink thousands on chroms on different combinations :P (I would also prefer to leave my PS colours intact if possible, luckily I have more than one shav I can play around with, but 4-off colours can prove to be quite annoying at times)

EDIT:
I like your use of Barrage. Are you occasionally using Barrage vs packs? Or does Herald of Thunder have enough range to curse enough stuff?
I would like to hear about your experiences keeping the charges up.

I tested out tons of different supports! I did a bunch of testing with a Tabula rasa.

Sadly I do not have any actual numbers on hand to give you but I do know for sure that ICD could not be beat by any other support, not even close, ICD gave the most hands down.

I feel ICD is a gem you 100% want in there.

Now, increased crit strike (I currently use) could be replaced with some adjustments to the tree

Pierce could be replaced IF you take the 40% pierce from the tree, I personally prefer more pierce chance as the clear speed is insane when it pierces, so I went with the gem, but I know a few people who chose the 40% from the tree and replaced the gem.


In my opinion, Crit strike and pierce are the only two gems that have some wiggle room to be replaced depending on tree and preference.

I am at work right now, but when I am at home again, I could possibly do the tests again and give some numbers, but trust me in saying that Crit Damage gem cannot be beat, even post nerf. This is assuming you have a high chance to crit, because when you have that high crit chance then no other support will be able to match the output that the crit damage multiplier can give you. But if for some reason your character had a much lower chance to crit, then maybe, just maybe, another support will outperform it

Assassins mark with herlad of thunder does a really good job of keeping my charges up most of the time, but I do keep an eye on my timer and fire off a barrage or two every once in a while to maintain it if needed. There are times when I barrage the very first pack of the map to get my charges and then never barrage again at all until the boss, just depends.

I kind of got into the habit of firing 1 barrage shot first followed by my KB on every pack, doing this is kind of overkill, most of the time I can maintain the charges with HoT-AM alone, but just for added measure I fire off a random barrage anyways to just keep the timer fresh :) I never have any issues maintaining charges at all.

I had considered removing Pcoc from the barrage and just let the herald keep the charges up for me, but when it comes to curse immune mobs/maps or a high HP boss who I only use single target on, it was a slight pain to maintain the charges, so I added it to my barrage as well and it has been great.

Thanks for the awesome response.

I figured that the ICD scaling on wands would be a little different to daggers. I was testing stuff yesterday on my Reaver and with 90% Crit Added Fire was giving me 2-3k higher tooltip dps compared to ICD.

Regarding Pierce I am about 95% confident the gem would be better for me. 6+ passives for the piece cluster is huge for a wand spec, and you really do want as much pierce as possible.

Could you include your flasks in the main post? I'd like to see what you're running with :)

dang, no wonder its 100k dps. thats top tier gear right there

Here are the flasks I am currently running with most of the time.



Didn't really spend a lot of thought min-maxing my flask setup yet, just kind threw these in there when I put this character together, just make sure you have remove bleed and freeze and then choose what flasks fit your preference. A rumi's is another solid option that I sometimes use for certain scenarios.

So far, I have not 'needed' the life flask, been sustaining the attacks with no issues with just life regen and life gain on kill, but the life flask is there as a just in case and also it happened to be the only flask I had that had Surgeons of Heat, which I needed.

Yeah this is pretty much the best in slot possible for this build, except a pure phys wand like Foe Bite might be slightly more dps, but not enough of a difference for me to warrant wanting one over my current. But yeah rest of the gear is pretty much the best possible. I am kind of showcasing the end game top tier possibility of this spec, all I really need is more levels :)

BUT ... Kinetic blast is VERY MUCH viable with budget gear. I have quite a few friends playing KB with self found gear in the new league and they are loving it.

For a budget version (life based) Check out Mathils new league budget KB wander here:

He's tearing up the new league with budget gear using KB!

Would you tweak the tree at all for HC?

If I had this same gear, or at least close to it on hardcore (sadly not possible) then I would not tweak it, I would use it just like this. With this much ES, damage, and instant leech, I feel safe with it.

But with lesser gear on hardcore I prolly would tweak it some. Depends on whether or not I was using acuity's or Mali's, how much ES I had with gear, leech, ect. Most likely i'd drop some damage for more ES.

I would prolly also figure out a way to squeeze in a CWDT setup in there too.
