[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

=> Physical : 240% damage, 26% attack speed

=> Crit chance / multiplier + power (+6% damage per power charge)

=> Projectile : 45% damage, 30% speed

=> Elemental damage : 64% elemental damage, 28% lightning damage

=> 50% physical damage added as elemental damage (fire/cold/lightning damage)

=> +28% effect of Auras is important to get a good buff to your damage/clearspeed

=> +1 curse is important : curses are a huge part of your build


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 !
