Ascendancy nut-ball theory-craft thread.

Early on I was thinking about doing something with trickster's no cost movement skills passive and lightning warp builds.

Right now my biggest problem is if I do a trickster build and reserve almost all my mana I have no effective way to summon my golem.

On that note Low Life Ele Cyclone is also something that's a bit more viable via trickster.

What I want now is a skill gem that removes mana costs from skills but gives them a cooldown.
Because that would fix the golem problem.

Edit... I could use bloodmagic gem but I was leaning towards CI with trickster.

Hierophant EE 2x curse (blasphemy) Illuminated/Ritual build:



Searing Bond in boots (2% leech)
Orb of Storms in gloves (20% AoE)
Frost Bomb in helmet (20% ele pen) for AoE clear

Ice Trap (conc effect, new ele gems) in chest for single target.

With Abyssal Cry + Frost Bomb + Temp chains as one of your curses, mobs should be quite slow. Second curse Ele Weakness to facilitate your Elemental Equilibrium. 4 searing bond totems to help you tank and proc EE.

Has room for 5 jewels too. Could swap Skittering Runes for Ash, Frost, and Storm. Can use Fire Trap + Multi Trap until you get your third ascendency (cause I'm thinking that might be a bit difficult).

Either go Cwdt Golem or you have to deactivate an Aura to summon it.

You want nut-ball? How about this:

I call it.... ONE DASH MAN

Crit Facebreakers Shield Charge Avatar of Fire Ele Prolif

REAL men don't even need One Punch(tm) they just need to run up to a mob.... and they DIE!

ONE DASH! :O


Some rough napkin maths (I'm using Legacy Breakers, since this is Standard build, no Rigwald's Curse in Perandus sadly, this is just for fun build) shows me as having ~800k damage on Shield Charge and ~900k Ignite DPS that'd Proliferate to nearby targets...

NEARLY 1 MILLION DPS, almost 2 million on single-target... o_0

Also, he has capped crit chance (only the 5% and accuracy keep it from pure 100% crit.)


What's the secret to the build? Bronn's Lithe, because increased Game of Thrones RP has a direct correlation to increased DPS (true story.) +2 to Movement Skills and 50% damage to Movement Skills, of which Shield Charge is.

Shield charge with assasin prolif sounds like fun yo :)

Always crit on full life etc :D

Peace,

Indeed. Charge in, crit them, move on. :P

I have two.


1) Perma frozen Juggernaut. If you use Winterheart, Auxium, and at least two taste of hates, and a couple of those increased chance to be crit jewels, you can sustain being frozen indefinitely as long as you are being hit and you can keep your flasks up. That means you could easily gain 25% base life regen (which could be used to sustain heartbound loop if you so desire). Auxium means that freeze is based off of a % of your ES, but if you have less than 150 total, any hit is going to freeze you if you have increased chance to be crit.

2) Necromancer kamakazi minions. If you use minion instability, montegruel's, and the new flask affects minions belt, you can automatically trigger your minions' death by using the coruscating elixer. If you use Heartbound loop, you can also take a controlled amount of damage to cast spells with cast on damage taken. Send in your horde of zombies to explode in the enemy's face, and then use CWDT or manually summon more.

boem, I am really interested in your scion trap sparker. HC viable? would orb of storms be a good support for PCoC + CoH?

Dual ascendancy dead-eye/saboteur

Spark traps opie op. Should be interesting/entertaining.

Spark/trap/cluster trap/light pen + optional 5th and 6th empower/added lightning/more trap + mine damage

Peace,

I was thinking how a Noxious Strike Spectral Throw Assassin could be pretty great, and then they went and buffed Spectral Throw! I might try that at some stage.
