[2.6] LL/RF Scoching Ray CwC Frostbolt Guardian
|
Introduction:
This is the build I just finished and in the process got to 100 with. Usually I end up getting sick of builds in the 93/94, this was the first build that was so much fun to play I was able to power through to 100 and is still fun to play. Usually I end up going broke trying to run a RF build and move on because of all the map re-rolling. This is the first one that I didn't. I have way more regen and resist than needed. Doing so not only made it more survivable, but also allowed for running maps with mods that RF usually cannot do. I was able to do -9 max with no rf degen, same with 40% less regen. At -10 and 60% there is a small degen but Time of Need does allow them to be run. The only mod that had to be re-rolled was no regen. I was able to do all of the guardians with very few issues, I tried but failed at Shaper but that is probably just my bad play... Uber lab was not an issue at all T15 - did not try Rigwald or Overgrown, rest were very easy though. Gear:
Spoiler
Gear shown is much better than what was required, even with much worse gear the build works very well. Uses a Doryani's for damage and leech. Using a Legacy RotP, regular will work fine just need more res's elsewhere. Heretic's Veil for blasphemy and 12% reduced reservation. Shav's for LL, does not have to be +1 gems and starting could be Solaris Lorica. Delirium rare gloves, starting I just used regular es gloves. Rare high es boots to fill res's etc. Rare Crystal Belt for Res/ES, I like Spite crafted ones for the Int First ring is important to get an unset with +2 (lvl 21 purity of fire) or +3 (lvl 20 purity of fire) level to gems, this gets us to lvl 23 PoF and +5 max res. Second ring can be anything I used an opal but started with a two-stone. One thing that is needed on one of the rings is 50+ dex for gems. Currently have a Presence, Eye also works to start just for the stun Jewels
Spoiler
Green Nightmare (Nightmare is probably not needed dream would work but does add a nice layer of dodge) to get frenzy charges by the Marauder. Could use a damage/es jewel. Conqueror Eff & Potency, Eff is to allow more auras, potency to get 1% more max res from Purity of Fire. Energy from Within by melding I have 2 Frozen Trail jewels to get "free" GMP, in the scion jewels. During lvling I used the jewel slot by MoM to get it earlier. The last jewel can just be damage/es or Energy From Within, in the MoM jewel. Current Stats:
Spoiler
Def:  Regen with Boot enchant:  Regen with Boot enchant and Time of Need:  Frostbolt(Charges and Sulphur Flask): Note: It is avg dmg, with CwC lvl 22 it end up being just under 162k tooltip before Wise Oak or Curses  Scorching Ray (Charges and Sulphur Flask):  Est. Damage from Path of Building: Frostbolt - 400,588.2 DPS (4 stage SR) + 392,229.3 ignite Scorching Ray (4 stages) - 121,922.3 DoT RF - 173,837.6 DoT Total - ~1,088,000 max dmg (1,216,000 max dmg on crit ignite) It is possible to make the DPS much higher with Elemental Overload but I found I was killing the shaped strand bosses before it ever proc'ed most times with only 5% Crit Chance. So I opt'ed other points (at the time Ghost Reaver). With EO the est total is: ~1,643,000 max dmg Auras:
Spoiler
Purity of Fire (lvl 23 in unset) Clarity (lvl 8 is the max I could fit) Blasphemy Flammability Blasphemy Elemental Weakness Arctic Armor Discipline Vitality Gems
Spoiler
Main Damage Links 5L(6L) Body Armor are: ScorchingRay-CastWhileChanneling-Frostbolt-Cold2Fire-ContDestr(-FirePen/Empower) 6L is FirePen or Empower it is very close at lvl 3 but lvl 4 empower wins clearly. Weapon Shield Charge-FasterAttacks-Fortify Shield CwDT(max)-Flame Golem(max)|Clarity (8) Gloves RF-EleFocus-IncBurning-IncAoE(could do Conc for bosses but I never did) Boots Enlighten(3)-BloodMagic(18)-Discipline-Vitality Helm AA-Enlighten(3 would like 4)-Flammability-Elemental Weakness Ascendancy Nodes:
Spoiler
This is the order I took them: Time of Need - The 30% regen or es every 5 seconds really helps Radiant Faith - Big armor and ES Boost around the middle of Cruel Unwavering Faith - Nice regen and phy dmg reduction Last two point I took two minor nodes for extra %es/%armor but any of the 3 could work Tree:

how do you get 5 projectiles on frostbolt?
| |
|
The Frozen Trail jewels give 2 extra proj each.

So how exactly did you not go broke doing this build over others? :P
I would like to see a video of this, even if it is a quick 3 minute shaped strand or something. | |
" This was my third or forth build and pretty much had all the gear pre-bought before starting (not the +1 shavs but a 6L). Not sure why but it is a very satisfying build to play being able to use RF close and Frostbolt ranged. If you want a few prices I listed them at the end for the stuff I now what I paid. I have added a video of 3 maps. Full sextents, double beyond, and mod selection that rf sometimes has issues with like minus max and shocked ground. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/159335461 Map1 (0:26): Enfeeble, Extra Cold, Boss Life, 50% reduced flask Map2 (8:02): TempChains, -9 max, Crit, trubo, Boss Dmg and attack spd Map3 (15:47): Shocked Ground, 48% life, double boss Didn't really rush much so no speed records where even close to set. +1 Shavs - 78ex+ ~50c to color unset +3 fire - 7ex Boots - 25c + 2 divines (very early league) Gloves - 30c (took a chance on these they were 140es but the range was either top T2 or low T1 after divine was happy) Belt - 20c and 5 deafening of spite to craft Wise Oak - found Dying Sun - 5ex Opal - found crafted with dex essence Catalyst - found and divined Heretic's Veil - 40c with enchant Rise of the Phoenix - 30c Presence - Bought blessing for 300c Energy from Within - 5c (about 6hrs into league before rarity change known) Green Nightmare - 50c for dream, found blessing Gems - Pretty much all were self corrupted to 21 (including empower) there is a lot of gem exp from 90 to 100. CD was the only on in the 6L I bought after about 15 failed vaals. So ~100ex before gems are even accounted for. Been on Beta so took a bit to redownload non beta to make a video sorry it took so long. Last edited by MasterScooby on Jul 15, 2017, 11:33:45 AM
