[2.0] YeahPete's Hardcore Elemental Molten Striker | custom Loot Filter | Affordable

"

but keeping this same type of build. Thanks and stay safe!

Yeah I looked into the Beta skill tree. Looks like it's too many points to get to the templar tree. Looks like we'll have to go physical and use Hatred and Herald of Ash as our Auras fro a bit of extra dmg. If we do this we have much more mana at our disposal. We can go Crit as our main damage multiplier. We can drop blood magic and have plenty of leech. I really want to spec into Mind over matter to lessen the blow of a little less hp and the crit nodes we'll have to take. Of course we will have to see.

I heard there is a fortify support gem. Spec that w/ whirling blades to use on those heavy hitters. Keep enfeeble as well.

Gem setup would likely be:
Molten Strike
Critical Chance
Critical Multiplier
Power Charge on Critical
Multistrike
Faster Attacks

Definately use Blood Rage for the extra leech / Frenzy Charges.
Vaal Pact for Instant Leech.
Mind Over Matter for Extra Health Pool.
Still use enfeeble curse on weapon swap for those insane heavy hitters

What makes you think that? As far as i can tell from the passive tree, I will still be able to play the same build that i'm playing now:



Start as Scion, go to the right, get everything you need from that side of the tree (prioritizing life), take acrobatics & phase acrobatics, go down to get Point Blank (don't judge the build on its killspeed before you get this, it makes a huge difference in damage so I'd grab it around lvl 40-45). Now you can take the 3 nodes from the evasion wheel and go to the left, grabbing Berserking and the life wheel. From there on, you go to the templar tree and grab whatever you need more at that moment: damage or life. This passive tree is for a lvl ~90 char but you can pick Amplify, Retribution, Celestial Punishment and Catalyse last/not at all, if you're one of those players who usually don't go beyond lvl ~80. If, at any moment, you're lacking something, you should be able to get it from jewels, considering we have direct access to 3 jewel slots. I'd have to check if they make sense in the final build though, I'm not sure yet.

If you want to keep the same build as on the live servers, I think that this is pretty much the optimal tree (assuming you're evasion based).

YeahPete's suggestion is also a possibility. It will probably have decent endgame damage and the advantage of surgeon's flasks, but it will be more expensive to get good gear for it.

Looks like a decent tree. I'd like to calculate out the life / speed nodes to see. I like it. We have to see what the gems have to offer. Scion might be a good start because many gem slots there. We will see and we will see that the leech rate on claws is as well. I think I will wait until I am either selected for the beta or until launch of the Awakening.

Hello guys. This build gonna work in 2.0?

Hello guys. This build gonna work in 2.0?

Looks like it. Might even be able to remove blood Magic w/ the new claws w/ mana leech. OR w/ a lvl 1 molten strike, two Eloran rings will completly negate the mana cost allowing an additional gem!!

I made it to lvl 81 solo in the Flashback Hardcore. I ran out of time can't play anymore. Found out a few great things about the build as well I'll share at a later time too busy lately.

Here is what I think I'll be going if I stick w/ this build.


I heard they changed the leech on claws. I think I will spec a single claw and shield and try physical and crit. Unless I find a claw that gives +15 life on hit. Not sure if those exist right now.

BTW why do u think the Herald of Ice better than Herald of Ash on this build?

BTW why do u think the Herald of Ice better than Herald of Ash on this build?

In the current build, Herald of Ice is better because we are elemental based. Herald of Ash is based off physical damage. Tigers paws are low on physical damage, therefore will not show much of an increase from Herald of Ash. NOw if you get a really high physical damage set of claws, then Herald of Ash might be better.

just got into closed beta. i'll test this build there.

Wow my builds are always nerfed. :( They Nerfed the Heralds. Reduced Mana gem no longer works w/ Auras. We're going to have to go physical and shield.

Good New is there is a loot filter. I've been setting up my own for a bit getting all the font sizes and everything just right.
