Sorry if this has already been asked, but why is Faster Casting not used instead of swift affliction for LW? Is Swift Affliction faster?
|
|
" because you are not casting LW it's getting triggered, so reducing the cooldown is better |

I swapped out Winterweave for Stormfire, and I've had a lot of fun with it. :)

Hey guys. I been using this build couple days. Is there any point using frenzy instead of Barrage skill? I mean i can kill mobs with barrage too there is no difference between them + barrage much faster for me.
The other questions is if i will stop using barrage i will get 4+1 socket free. Can i use those sockets to increase my build somehow? Thanks. |

" Frenzy Charges = Good. Having/keeping Frenzy charges up make barrage stronger. " Increase is a strange word. Everyone increase something. Some increase survival, others damage, some increase movement speed, etc. Just random ideas by removing barrage: 1. Survival a) Put Orb of storm in the chest and add blind. (You still lose on life gain on hit/barrage effect <-- quite strong) b) Add a decoy totem <--- Underrated! Standing still target take lot more dmg from not moving away from your lightning balls, etc. IT used to be a thing with KB. Do small boss room, decoy near wall and wallbang it to death. 2. Toolbox a) Move your Frenzy/Herald there and keep GMP possibly add blind or something b) Replace is with Cwdt, Ball of Lightning, blind, etc.. <--- Can instead put it in Shaper gloves ?(Supported by slower projectile) and have a 6 link Orb of Storm which isnt that bad anymore. c) Add blood rage in there or somewhere as a 0 link so that you can use Soul of Arakaali when Immortal Call pop. (Recovery also affect leech) 3. Dps Options Those are a little more complicated as you really need to balance attack speed to make good use of poet pens. Too slow = not enough trigger and you lose ton of dps and too fast make you skip losing often even more dps! |

Tried to do T16 pit of chimera last night and just got my ass handed to me. Do I need to change something up to do better against endgame bosses? I still need to get my flasks up and running, but I'm lazy with flasks... aside from that what can I improve?

Which one am I suppose to follow? Guide has Inpulsa, but POB has Loreweave, like... What?
|

I have so many questions..
First of all, what do I use for single target? I see that barrage is used as the gem as single target..? Why is barrage at level 1? Why do we need 4 poet pens? |

I have just started this build so new to it but I'll try to answer the above two questions to the best of my understanding.
@Voffron Inpulsa will be your mapping chest. That's where the Inpulsa explosions will really help clearspeed. You would consider swapping to Loreweave or Kaom's when bossing if you felt too squishy - only likely needed for T16 guardians, red elder...etc. @Godaphex The barrage is just used as a way to proc the cast of the spells in our poets pens. It's damage is totally irrelevant and so having a high leveled one is fairly useless and may raise the dexterity requirements of the build. Barrage is good when combined with GMP and life gain on hit to help sustain vs some bosses. You don't strictly need 4 poet's pens, you can get away with 3. One poet's pen has our arc setup. One has our lightning warp setup. The last one has our ball lightning setup. For bossing you would switch out the lightning warp for ball lightning. However 4 is recommended. You then have two arc setups. One that is paired with lightning warp which you use for mapping. Then the other is paired with your ball lightning. Now you can just use weapon swap to swap between your boss killing setup and your mapping setup without having to swap pens in and out. It's more a quality of life thing than anything. I'm only lvl 40 ish atm with it so I haven't gotten to equip any of the actual gear yet for it (other than the poet's pens). Still, it's destroying the story mode content so far and just about to hopefully kill act 5 Kitava. |

Skilltree shows up incorrectly, or is it just me?
