[2.1] Crit CI Block Bladefall (8.3k ES/80k DPS) "Rain of Terror"
|
This character was originally CI crit Ethereal Knives(originally built last league by HeaT1, I'll put a link to his build at the bottom) , but with 2.1 I decided to give bladefall a try. Even with EK's buff and adding chain, I prefer the clearing speed/playstyle of bladefall. I mainly went CI because I already had most of the prerequisite gear available, at some point I may try it as a hybrid or low life build, but CI has been serving me well so far. This build has great DPS, and is also pretty tanky with 8k+ ES and 75/75 block with a Rumi's Concoction up. Flasks are

6L :(Bladefall + Spell Echo + Added Fire Damage + Increased Area of Effect/Conc Effect + Life Leech + Faster Casting/Controlled Destruction) Note: I am currently using Faster Casting(20/20) because my controlled destruction is only level 15, but it's getting close to matching Faster Casting's dps, once I get it higher level I will probably swap to controlled destruction. 4L : Herald of Thunder + Curse on Hit + Assassin's Mark + Poacher's Mark/Warlord's Mark/Temporal Chains (I'm running a dual curse amulet, and I personally use Poacher's Mark as my secondary curse during mapping, I prefer the mana gained on hit + frenzy charges + flask charges over Warlord's mana/life leech. Temporal chains is usually reserved for bosses or very rough map mods.) 4L : Vaal Discipline + Vaal Discipline + Vaal Haste/Vaal Grace + Increased Duration(Since we're CI Vaal Discipline acts as our only life flask. I run two so I can have one ready at almost all times during mapping. 4L: Hatred + Summon Ice/Flame/Chaos Golem + Minion Life + Discipline (You can choose whether to run Hatred/Discipline or Ice/Chaos golem based on how tanky you want the build to be.) 3L : Lightning Warp + Faster Casting + Less Duration (Extra movement) 3L: Tempest Shield + Reckoning + ??? Gear

Required gear
Amulet: Shield: Flask: Jewel: Note: These items are the basis for making this a block build, the rest of the build would be standard gear for other ES based bladefall builds. Wand:Look for something with Spell Crit, Cast Speed, Flat Spell Dmg, Spell Dmg. A nice budget option would be Divinarius. I like using a wand with flat lightning damage on it, Bladefall has a 120% Dmg conversion which is great for flat spell damage, and this also allows to use herald of thunder for cursing at 78+ level maps. Gloves: Facebreakers are the best for DPS, maligaro's are also a legitimate option. you can also use high ES/res gloves if you're having trouble capping resistances elsewhere. Jewels: Cast Speed/Spell Damage/Physical Damage/ES% Boots: ES/Movement Speed/Resists/Intelligence Chest: ES/Resists/Intelligence Helmet: ES/Resists/Intelligence Rings/Belts: ES/Resists/Stats/Cast Speed My Gear:
Spoiler
Flasks: With Poacher's Mark active, I can keep flask up for a large majority of the maps. I still have mana issues occasionally with bosses, so I keep a mana flask of staunching in case. If I can solve the mana issues I'd probably replace with a Granite Flask of Iron Skin or another Rumi's Concoction.) Jewels: DPS(Hatred/Herald of Thunder):

Town:60,286 Charges(6 power/ 3 frenzy): 90,438 Charges + Flasks(Taste of Hate/Atziri): 136,612 Charges + Flasks + Vaal Haste: 156,702 Note: Bladefall is only lvl 17 for these calculations, once I get to level 20 it should improve even further. Also, once I get controlled destruction up to lvl 16/17 it should be better than faster casting. DPS(Discipline/Herald of Thunder):

Why do you pick "Sniper" with projectile damage\speed near shadow?

Horrible tree.
