[1.3] EXTRA DAMAGES ARE LIFE ? [reddit from Witch section]
HELLO EXILES ! I'm French so don't be mean, agressive as a "pre-alpha-player that know GGG better than Mike"
This thread was initially in witch section but moved to shadow section with a life-based character. Your Kinetic Blast looks like ![]()
MAIN IDEA
I wanted to create a character that maximize the "Extra damage" conversion. What is it ? "This modifier does not replace the original damage, instead it takes a portion of the damage and adds it to the total as a different damage type." Those bonus are often elemental damage from physical damage. The weapon that scale the most with physical/elemental/extra damage is the wand. With the passive and the core items of the build, I theoretically reach more than 170% extra elemental damage !
Passive & Explanation

What influence the DPS ?
I'll use Kinetic blast : lot of procs (ideal for generate power charge), physical damage, projectiles and "Deals 120% of Base Attack Damage" => that is awesome ! Added x damage => Hatred : 36% => Added fire damage : 39% => Physical to lightning : 30% => Herald of ash : 15% => Passive : 50% Total of 170% extra elemental damage from physical damage ! Additional damage => Gear (Wand) => Herald of Thunder => Passive => Double curse (Elemental weakness / Assassin's mark) => Critical
Idea of Gear
Wand => Physical damage => Elemental damage => Critical damage In this order ! Prism Guardian => Turn Clarity into a mana machine ! => The "blood magic" support reserved only 5% of our life. => Elemental resistances => +1 level of Clarity The rest ? => Elemental res caped with amulet, rings, belt, gloves (basically everything) => Physical damage / Elemental damage => Life leech on a ring could be good => Voll's Protector could be awesome if it's enough tanky/mana substainable
Gems choice & Explanation
6L (the dream) : Kinectic Blast - Weapon elemental damage - Physical to lightning - Added fire damage - GMP - Faster projectile
Spoiler
Physical to lightning / Added fire damage ? : EXTRA DAMAGE ! YEAH 3L (prism guardian) : Clarity - Empower - Reduced mana
Spoiler
Empower turn Clarity into the a huge mana machine. 3L : Herald of ash - Hatred - Reduced mana
Spoiler
The %extra damage auras and Herald of ash is great for the clearspeed 4L : Barrage/Power siphon - Help - Help - Help
Spoiler
I need the best single target idea, and yout help ! 4L : Herald of Thunder - Assassin's mark - Curse on hit - Elemental weakness
Spoiler
Herald of thunder and curse on hit will normally proc a lot (50% lightning damage) Elemental weakness: it is just the hugest buff of your build Assassin's mark : life/mana/power charge/more critical strike => it's a needed 4L : CWDT - Enduring cry - Immortal coil - Increase duration
Spoiler
Classic. Aura calculator : https://poe.mikelat.com/#Gwr8Yz/1FOn0h/rYWEPc/gcgQJ4wb => 62% mana reserved and 5% life reserved
Concept in game
Your Kinetic blast is a pure hybrid attack. Physical damage => The wand damage => Passive => Gear Fire damage => %elemental from the wand => Herald of Ash => Passive : 10% extra fire damage and % elemental damage => Added fire damage gem Lightning damage => %elemental from the wand => Herald of Thunder => Physical to lightning gem => Passive : 30% extra lightning damage and %elemental damage Cold damage => %elemental from the wand => Hatred => Passive : 10% extra cold damage and %elemental damage Other buff => Double curse => Critical strikes => Shock stacks Theoretically, you deal the three elements ailments with every attack of Kinetic Blast. The shocks cursed the enemies. The ignite from HoA is a good clearspeed buff. Frozen enemies can't reach you. I know, it's a theorycraft build and it may have a LOT OF BAD things in it. I need your help to build such a character in order to have fun, cause yes, normally we're here for fun ! Thanks for reading, hope i'll get some answers !
