That would throw off the mana cost/scold damage/ armour and physical damage reduction by a substantial amount. Higher level Molten shell requires higher damage thresh-hold in order to detonate. Essentially you would need more fevered mind jewels, and much higher damage reduction.

My armour/phys mitigation is pretty min/maxed, so getting a lot more is not possible afaik. That leaves your only option as using some kind of cwdt immortal call setup in which immortal call is ALWAYS up.

This build looks really interesting! I love how innovative it is! So far I only played safe facerolling facetanking leechtank builds. Gonna give this a whirl! Cheers!

Is the build still viable in Harbringer?
ANy chance you could post an updated tree?

yea, build is still viable. I use it for uber labs all the time. The only difference really is that I have a mod on my shield which is legacy now (reduced damage over time taken). So it will be a little more risky while using RF.

I keep my profile public so you can always just check the skill trees there. Character name is Deep_water

Hello!
Thank you for your reply!
I've just one more question: how can you reach 700+ mana regen/sec?

@songoku

mainly the 2% boot enchant. The rest is just gearing and skill tree

Beautiful concept. I probably won't try it myself (just yet, but definitely in the next SSF week race if there is one) but out of curiosity, how does it hold up for 3.1? I imagine nothing changed?

If you dont mind playing a risky mode, you can use RF (the 20% reduced DoT mod is no longer available from leo) so your life will slowly drop, wheras mine does not.

The MoM mana nerfs arent too noticable, so they werent that bad.

The build does not clear maps quickly, but is a great lab runner.

At the end of the day, it's just a very unique little build, and if that makes you happy, you will enjoy it!

just fyi I am currently trying this build on a juggernaut and am liking it a whole lot!

I think juggernaut is the way to go while being easier to gear for!
