(TL:DR its AoE build that focus on Nova 4L+ faster casting +added cold damage+ life leech. and Spell totem Linked with Freezing pulse + Greater Multiple Projectiles+faster casting! for extra dmg , this build have a lot(hp nodes ) and by a lot i really mean a lot of HP and ressitances , and great aoe dmg output for easy farm in most common places also this build do not require and accuracy or crit dmg what so ever it works fine without it, also 3 hp potions with remove frozen/curse and for extra armor + iron flask is MUST TO have ! )

low level hp build ( no mana reg and cold dmg ) and if u feel like u lack of ressitance, and u get killed ot much because of it and u cant find items with ressist ( this is in very very rare case's ) then u can go like this

keep in mind that this is very very defensive build with alot of hp/resist/armor so your dmg and mana may be a problem at one point till u get 3/4 auras(elec battery) and some dmg nodes ( like heart of ice) MANA BUILD (don't recommend this for people in the game ) in case u feel u have good hp/dmg and the only problem u have is mana go like this

its really importan right after u get battery to have all auras or atleast 3 immportan ( clarity/discipline/determination) and put next points u have at inner force in other words to look like this

so yea if i feel like this need a change i will update it but for now i think its enough! =) im open for any suggestions question's as well! Now let's talk more about the gem's(spells ) we will use in this build ! Ice Nova, Frostbite/molten shell/discipline/grace/determination/clarity/ glaciel hammer/shield charge/fast casting x2 /reduce mana x2 / added cold damage /life leech/Spell totem/freezing pusle/greater multiple projectiles/iron will. Now here is the explanation what to get when, and why! This spells u should try to get as soon/fast as possible Ice nova/,Frostbite/molten shell/discipline(aura ) and support gems fast casting/ added cold damage /life leech (if u are new to the game and u don't know what to get first go for 3linked socket with ice nova life leach and added cold damage or fast casting, and try to get 4linked socket as fast as possible to have them all linked! . spells u will need later on the game and are also importan are Grace/Determination/Clarity/Iron will/ reduce mana x2/faster casting x1 or 2 based on if u have enoguh to get spell totem combo. ( those 3 and discipline are auras so as soon as u pick up eldrich battery u will need to have those, so u can have 3/4 auras up, before u pick eldrich battery u will not have enough mana to use them all together, i bought them early on but i was not having enoguh mana to use them.. so u shouldn't do the same mitake :) Extra spells u may find useful, but i don't really use them. Extra info if u feel like u need extra single target dps >> For single target spell to combo with glaciel hammer early on before u get battery , u can use hatred and anger(auras) , to add extra bonus dmg ot glacial hammer keep in mind that those two dont really help ice nova, so therefore i didnt get them, but if u feel like u need more single target dps feel free to get one of them or both ) NOW THIS IS VERY IMPORTAN and u should keep it in mind, by the time u reach merceliess difficulty u will start to feel like u need more extra dmg ( single target or aoe ) or if u try to farm zombies in act2 they will be ice spells resist, so u will do very low dmg with nova, what i did then is pick this spells Spell totem Linked with Freezing pulse + Greater Multiple Projectiles+faster casting! when i got this combo i start to do such a big aoe dmg it was unreal, its so easy to farm in ledge/act 2 fellshrine ruins and act 3 in the begining, i never died ( or only 2/3 times between level 55-70 )and keep getting around 10% exp per 7min or so. How the gem's should be linked Nova 4L+ faster casting +added cold damage+ life leech. Molten shell linked with iron will. Spell totem Linked with Freezing pulse + Greater Multiple Projectiles+faster casting! All auras should be linked with redcue mana in any way possible, i use x2 items to link 2 auras to a gem like this clarity +determination + reduce mana (3L) Discipline + grade + reduce mana ( 3L) this way i can just use the gems on items i find very easy, instead of looking for 4link and 5 link and so on, later on the game tho when u ahve 5/6 link u will have enoguh experiance probably to have personal opinion on what ti link extra with your main spells :) Gear i would like to start with something people don't really think about but i belive is kinda like 30% of the build. its about the flask's mana /hp /armor/ressit potions in this build i highly recommend to grab 3 hp pot and 2/1 iron flask (this is in late game when u have battery ). Why u would ask well, because this makes you immortal, try to get extra bonuses on hp flask to be Remove frozen/ remove curse and 3th to have extra armor because when u activate extra armor hp flask + iron flask u get this http://imageshack.us/f/10/armor2v.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/842/armorni.jpg/ u get around 30k armor when u go in, just before u start spaming nova for life leech/hp back. its really immportan because shell do explode shortly after that deals tons of damage and i honestly dont take any dmg what so ever for like 4/5 sec while iron flask is up its amazing. once u get use to it u will enjoy it as much as i do. (i also have every kind of ressist flask for boss fights or such in act 3 the lighting biatch, i beat her with max LR without a problem u should try to do it as well :p its fun and she qq to much ) now lets get to what u should get as gear on low level and after that On low level's while and if this is your first character u should focus on items that give this stats >Maximum life and maximum mana or maximum energy shield (both if possible ) and any kind of ressist(+ to all elemental resistance is the best tho :P ) . by the time u hit 20/25 u should decide on what to focus more,
Spoiler
maxiumum mana/energy shield/hitpoints.
And probably by now around 20/25 u will start feel that the mana become a little bit a problem ( it will be like this till u get eldritch battery ) Weapon early on try to get atleast [15/20% Elemental Damage Implicit] and if possible +Increased Spell Damage/Elemental Damage. So i would sugguest to you to try get neck and two rings with increased mana regeneration rate, and keep it like that forever (:! or u will have mana problems, unless u are really high level and a pro ^_* TLDR before level 25 u need maxn mana/hp/energy shield and any resistance or mana reg if possible. Around level 40 try to get a good weapon with 20% Elemental Damage Implicit 30/40 or more increased spell damage and cast speed increase ( or maximum mana/int ) also try to get late game
Spoiler
(after 55+ and u have enough orbs to make a good gear u should aim for this )
Weapon should have this stats 20% Elemental Damage Implicit minimum 45 increased spell damage/elemental and if possible cast speed ( note its not atack speed it is CAST ) AND maximum mana/intelect + socket skill or +Spell Critical Chance is not bad but meh i dont like that (: Shield
Spoiler
( on low level i used Kite shield /etched shield/ they all have + to all elemental resistances)
its kinda like the chestt and belt u should balance with it , but try to aways have +to all elemental ressistances i reccomend to go for +elemental ressitance to all + to all elemental ressitances +extra resistance, +maxiumum life/ and if possible extra mana /armor etc Head
Spoiler
Maximum hp
maximum mana Resistances and if possible increased armor % / Increased item Rarity/Quantity Neck
Spoiler
+Life
+cast speed +mana regen and if possible to have any ressist or main stats or Increased Cold Damage Rings
Spoiler
( im using two prismatic rings with +to all elemental resist + mana reg + increased cast atack speed)
Maxiumum life + % to all elemental resistance +mana reg and if possible +incrased cast pseed and extra ressistances Chest
Spoiler
Well its up to personal opinion here
max mana/hp /energy shiled/ resisistance/incr cold damage high defense, basicly i belive the chest is like this, u pick a chest with the stats u need the most ,aka either mana or 2 kind of ressitance or alot of hp +armor and so on :) u get the idea, most immportan thing about chest is to have linked socket's if possible 4 or 5:) that + good stats make it a great chest! Gloves
Spoiler
Its very importan to have Increased cast speed, but as we all know its a hard stats to have on gloves :(
+life + Increased Item Quantity/Rarity/Mana +cold damage Belt
Spoiler
Its the same as the armor, u go for what ever stats u need more
max hp or max energy shield/mana or let say if u need + dex to get an aura or something at the end of the day good belt should have +Life +Resistances +Mana/energy shield and if possible +Increased Weapon Elemental Damage Boots
Spoiler
maxiumum life/maximum mana /ressistans and if possible +armor or
Movement Speed Increased Item Quantity/Rarity ---------------------------------------------------- Where should i farm with this "AoE" build and why?
Spoiler
I like to farm places with alot of enemy units, simple because this is an AoE build, with molten shell up and flask of iron skin + good ressistances from ring shield and some other parts u are unkilable in there,more units=more life back from ice nova therefore =imba
Also keep in mind that in those places units are VURNABLE TO COLD (: ( in act2 tho in merc thats nto the case with the zombies, damn mother fucking zombies indeed ) Everywhere else u can feel u can AoE farm without problem is fine too, such places as docks and so on, i personally perfer not to go there but its up to personal opinion. On those places u will get very easy exp/items orbs and scrolls very fast and easy with this build thats what i love about it Normal diff act 1 Ledge from level 6-7 to 18/20 Fellshrine ruins act 2 from 18/20 to 28/30 act 3 the begining from 30 to 40 Cruel act1 ledge from minimum ~35 to ~45 cruel act2 ruins from 42-50 cruel act 3 begining 48 to 55-60(from now on is personal opinion where to go and at what level :) Merc act 1 55-65 merc act 2/3 65+ Here is some vods on places i like to farm, i will tell you why i perfer there and why i think its a good place to exp/farm. Act 1>Ledge< act2 >fellshrine ruins act 3> the begining, i have got chains from act2 and 3 on both spots as well as alot of other gems, + the exp is great and its full of scrolls and such those are very common places to farm, but in case u dont know how link's down below. here is my run in act 1 http://www.twitch.tv/rambii/b/362485608?t=44m Here is my run in act 2 http://www.twitch.tv/rambii/b/362824879?t=57min18s here is my "run" in act 3 http://www.twitch.tv/rambii/b/362729861?t=77m40s I will try to Predict some of the questions u may ask, and will try to asnwer them now (:
Spoiler
why u dont like crit in this build? isn't crit very good? ( well since its AoE build with bunch of armor, when i go in and let say atack 14 mobs, and then 4 more come in range, if icrt and kill the first 14 in 2 hits, i will still have to cast 2 extra novas to finish the new ones that "arrive late" so what differance is it make if i had luck and crit a bit the first ones :)? )
yo rambi u so stupid and shit bro, i saw kripparian use a wand he pro and so on, so i will use a wand as well is it a problem? ( na it dosn't matter really as long as the stats is what u need, tho i dont like crit for this build , but a good wand will work no dout about that ) Well this is all cool and stuff, but if i dont have reduce mana gems, and i dont get eldrich battery fast enoguh , i will have mana problem's dont i ? ( well thats why u can rush battery if u are good enoguh to survive without hp nodes or get good hp/ressitance gear and i also reccomend rings +amulet for mana reg and good mana flak's u will be just fine ) is there any other option i can use for single target dps, because this spell totem is to expensive man and im poor :((((((((( >> yes u can aways try glaciel hammer with auras i linked above and some extra weapon elemental dmg as support sockets and what not, but i really belive if u dont have the totem, u shoudn't go for anything else jsut save some orbs and buy a totem later on ) is it a problem if i dont have molten shell or flask of iron skin ? ( well on the begining u may not have any problems, but as soon as u go on merciless difficulty i think u will have some issues. can i link ice nova with let say add lighting dmg instead of cold, beacuse i don't have cold right now? ( well i use that at low level's it was not a problem,but i cant say for sure how it works on higher level, it shouldn't be problem till level 40 or so i guess ) How do u manage not to die when u go so close to so much units, i forget to press either the iron skin or the hitpoint flask for extra armor ? ( well try get use to use the flask of iron skin, or buy 2 if that would help, also i try to aways put a molten shield up and curse before going in , and aways hit the flask if units are to close if i do that i normaly don't have any problem at all, untis are frozen all the time) This is all cool and stuff, but how do u do bosses with this build, isnt the damage to low?( well i did everything by my self till merciless difficulty, at merc i aways join party and to the bosses with them, i give them 4/5 aruas so it was really easy i aways tanked and never died with 2 flask of irons :) Why do u perfer ice nova instead of pusle or in fact ice spear? ( well i would like to think that nova range is really huge and + molten shell when it does explode if u are close to units they aways die (unless its rare ), therefore aoe farm is much more easy and faster, i also dont like the totem play, i like to be in the middle of the fight :) ) Why don't u take elemetnal damage for weapon nodes? don't u use glacier at the begining atleast ( well not really, i just use nova all the way till merc, it worked fine i only died 2 times i belive and it was on the bosses ) is it possible to go this build with the aura's they are to expensive,( well i i dont think' so auras are like the key in this build they give u the extra mana/regeneration/ressist and armor to survive :) and do help alot in party's ) First i want to say BIG THANK YOU if u have read all this till down here :) and i hope this guide have the SUCCESS that my last guide had ( on blc http://www.bloodlinechampions.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=114&t=15543 ) and reach more then 24k view's!

Not sure as to why you took Precision or swashbuckler? The majority of the build is spell damage and you are getting one hand physical damage passives? If I'm miss understanding something please no offense just curious on why you choose those. Without them you could save considerable passives.
Edit: Just realized maybe you need the dex? Last edited by rahven32#0810 on Feb 2, 2013, 11:42:10 AM

if u have support gems early on u will not have enough dex to use them, therefore this one is very needed its 30dex early one so u can use let say add cold damage support rune,this way u dont have to wear + dex items and lose a good other main stats on low levels if u look around the build u will see i have done it couple of times more.
GMP gear as well requieures around 90 dex.. so yea (: Last edited by Rambi#3732 on Feb 2, 2013, 11:56:51 AM

You have to edit this a bit because its impossible to read atm.

NO idea why you would take swashbuckler , also - is English your second language? Because this post is kind of hard to digest from a spelling/grammar stand-point.

Wow, this IS detailed!

yes english is my second language, and if some one want to help me out edit it a bit it will be lovley, how ever ty for the swashbuckler it was a missclick :( i will fix it a moment.Thank you for the help , i dont know why u put a point there, it has to do something with making build for my other char :(
Don't get me wrong guys, all i wanted to do is help players who had the same question as me on the start, like what node i go first/ hp? mana? dmg? why? how hard is in cruel? how much ress i need there? or armor. soon a friend of mine from usa will probably log in, i will ask to help me out edit this and make it better to read , sorry if its on a "borken english " now.

For the final build you may want to respec out of precision and only get it when and if you need to. That will save two points also in the upper right there is a 30 dex node you could get instead. This is for the final build mind you.
Also up by the 30 dex node you can come down one and it will open up another 24% life if you feel you need it or you could get more resists at the same spot. There's also 2 10 dex there if you absolutely need it. However, doing it that way you have a lot of options. Something like this perhaps. One thing to remember on final builds it's perfectly ok to respec parts to fine tune a build. You may of had to go a certain path while leveling just to get to a node you wanted but later that node may be connected several ways. Last edited by rahven32#0810 on Feb 2, 2013, 1:33:51 PM

rahven32 nice suggestion i like it, i actualy do have a 30 dex point there my self, but i belive it is up to personal opinion at the end when and what to get, its really based on gear, i mean i use to have a neck and ring and helm that give me a lot of dex so i didnt really need it, how ever that now change and i put a point there, but i totally agree with you.

I like the build =) I'm making a templer right now and going to try this build out. It has most the stuff I want. Right now I'm trying to see how I can get the shield passives into it and be reasonable. The far left one will be easy to get since it is on the way. Chances are I'd never hit lvl 100 so hard to say what I'd end up with.
Do you have any mana problems with the build? I'm wondering if I should get the energy shield on shield passives or go for the blocking ones. My level 100 build would be something like this. I'm sure I will find other things to change a little bit as I go. |
