Oro's Sacrifice

I've got a build planned out for this bad boy that'll have INSANE dps, I just need to get my hands on an Alt Art Cloak of Flame and then 6L it first... :S

OCD dictates that I cannot roll this build UNTIL I have that Alt Art.. >_<

There is just no way to get the dps up there, its pointless man, ive rerolled numerous times and failed everytime. Just cant do it, the negatives outweighs any positive.

With a Doryani Belt and 1% Fire Leech on Oro's you drop LL Gem, thus freeing up an extra Support Gem. I'd have Vaal Pact.

You also run an Alpha's with a Level 21 Anger and Wrath, potentially a Level 4 Empower if you can afford it, you DON'T grab AoF, but instead Static Blows and run a Legacy Thunder-Fist.

Using Cloak of Flame and AA for damage mitigation. AA and VP would make Ele Reflect a non-issue.

Against a fully Shockstacked mob with 0% Resists you'd potentially get 35k dps, 50k+ when Cursed, and that's without the Empower. In my build you'd be able to run an Empowered Anger/Wrath, and a normal Clarity and still have Mana left over to cast.
(To Shock a mob, the ~2.3k Lightning Damage per hit would have to deal ~0.46% of that mob's Life.)

If you can't run Thunderfist, or your Gear/EleDamage isn't enough to sufficiently Shockstack, then you can drop Static Blows and grab AoF instead, and you'd be doing about 18k dps before Curse..


The DPS isn't that bad when built for it. The only problem is the increased Damage from Phys/Fire, and the lack of AttackSpeed making your Leapslamming kind of slow/clunky. I'd probably get the Cruel Kraityn Reward, just for quality of life.. :S

My build would be something like this

Anytime you need GG gear to make something halfway viable its not meant to work.

BTW AA and Cloak, not a good idea, you want to get away from taking more fire damage, you would have to go lightning coil, because you already take 20% increased fire damage from Oros. I've tested both, you still get hit with a buttload of damage, even with 28k armor it wasnt viable, because of all the life nodes you lose. Your build doesn't even have near half that much armor.

You are calculating a perfect situation with the 0 res, most mobs have elemental res. Blues and Rares commonly have curse immune so you might get EE and use ice nova to get the -50 fire res.

The wall you will run into with your build though, is survivability, with any Oro's Sac build,

Its the 20% drawbacks, not justified for the low damage. Most mobs have elemental resists. The few that dont, well are very few and far between the ones that do.


OR.... IDK, maybe I haven't experimented enough with it. I give up on it, bro test out your build and see what happens.

I've converted to SB cuz thats just ez brainless playstyle.

Yeah LC would be better, but Cloak gives Chance to Ignite, and doesn't waste an Aura slot. And Cloak lets your AA double dip on Physical Hits, which is nice.

But yeah, the build IS really squishy. The Cloak only just BARELY mitigating Oro's increased Damage Taken. :S

AA helps, but running it without EB, is a bit tricky to manage without some amazing Rings.


And yeah, I realize that needing GG gear to make it work, does kind of defeat the purpose, but I'm just doing it for fun. Proof of concept so to speak..

When you've got crazy op and efficient builds, sometimes you wanna try something new and see how far you can push it. :P

Are there any new opinions on this weapon? I have one of the best rolls I've ever seen, yet I can't find a good use for Oro's. Any decent builds use expensive gear, and the cost of that gear could go towards way more effective builds!

I figure the best Oro's builds use either Cyclone, Spectral Throw, or Flicker Strike. What I like to do is use a corrupted pair of gloves with the "+1 to level of gems in this item" mod to run Anger, Wrath, and Haste (or Grace, if necessary) all at once. This requires a corrupted level 21 Reduced Mana gem and every reduced mana node on the left side of the skill tree. I guess you could go all defense with Vitality, Determination, and Grace (assuming IR), but your dps will suffer.

If you want decent damage, you're pretty much required to use Blood Magic in your setup (so you can spend points on fire damage nodes instead of mana nodes and use you mana for auras). Sadly, because Cyclone is such a mana hog, you're pretty much limited to a Kaom's Heart as your chest piece, and this means you need a 6L Oro's in order to excel. All that right there is freaking expensive. Throw a Devoto's Devotion on top of that for good measure and hardly anyone is going to be going this route.

Fire Penetration is a no-brainer, Life Leech is nearly required (unless you're lucky enough have some nice corrupted elemental leech items), Weapon Elemental Damage, Faster Attacks/Concentrated Effect... There's not much room for build flexibility.

Something like THIS isn't completely terrible as a high level build with Cyclone, as long as you have a Kaom's Heart.

Any other suggestions?
