Build Suggestion: Sire of Shards CoC?
|
Hi guys,
Ever since I saw the Sire of Shards staff I have been wondering, what about a CoC build with it? I realize that the damage wouldn't be optimal, but what are your thoughts on this? I cannot find any guides or videos on it ^^ It seems like a very cool out of the box build... Any feedback greatly appreciated! |

It sounds really cool but sire of shards has a base crit of 6% so it would be very difficult to get consistent crit with sire

" I agree it would be hard, but with power charges, crit gear and all the crit nodes couldn't you be able to still crit enough? Not talking about doing atziri/endgame maps or anything but just a decent clear speed at lower level maps. Daggers and wands will obviously net you way, way more crit, then again they are like fucking minigun enablers so I'm curious how it would be with 6% staff. Greets |

For coc to work you need a weapon with a high base crit and a high attack speed so you proc the spells often enough (otherwise selfcasting the spells would be much more efficient). Sire of shards has neither. Compared to daggers and wands it will be subpar.
Another problem is that usually the spells are directed towards the target that triggered the spell. Sire of shards shoots the projectiles at fixed angles, so most projectiles simply will miss if you use spectral throw to trigger coc (barrage or kinetic blast can't be used for obvious reason). Why use st in the first place? Because you don't need gmp with sire of shards thereby freeing up a socket. But missing with most projectiles makes this a bad option. That leaves cyclone. If you cyclone into a pack the projectiles have a higher chance to hit something. The problem is that when you use cyclone you would be much better off using shock and frost nova. They get the whole pack you cycle into and don't need gmp either. So again sire of shards is much worse than the "traditional" option. |
