[3.9] Cyclone Summoner - Heralds of Agony and Purity, Summon Holy Relic - League starter
|
Using the Gladiator version of the build on Legion HC - although the pastebin Gladiator linked in the original post is old (only shows like 50% block chance). There's a new version that shows 81% block chance, but I forget where I got it from.
Getting a -7 mana cost ring makes the build 10x easier to manage. In addition, if you use the ring, you no longer need mana on hit for your weapon. Personally, using the Gladiator max block version - I now use this instead: 3-link Herald of Purity in there, and they get Fortify for free (although that doesn't really matter much). Big thing, at least for me, is the +15% block chance - which makes it stupid easy to max block, and allows me to reallocate shield block nodes for more damage or health. IGN: RFIncBlood_1

" Fortify now has %more damage so it's a lot of damage. Keep in mind you have 75% block already with bastion of hope. It's up 40% of the time though. That claw is a good choice to get some better base block when bastion of hope is on cooldown. The extra life is great too but you are losing out in survivability from the loss of lgoh and attack speed. Edit: I didn't notice that you play gladiator so forgive me for that :) Last edited by kompaniet#2874 on Jun 22, 2019, 11:32:31 AM

" hah - for a second I was like "wtf is Bastion of Hope, have I been playing my character wrong!"... then realized it's a Templar thing :P Your second statement about loss of survivability from LGOH... what do you mean? the unique has 44 LGOH? attack speed, you're right... can always use the 4-5 passive nodes I get back from using the unique (don't have to take 4-5 shield block nodes) and invest in attack speed if needed.

An elder claw has up to 50 lgoh from blinded monsters. Scroll to the top of this page where i've linked that. Sorry i wasn't being very clear there at all :)
I like advancing fortress a lot. Have been using it in many builds. Summoner was the last one i believe. Can't really go wrong with that one. Last edited by kompaniet#2874 on Jun 22, 2019, 4:05:21 PM

This build is a blast after I tried homebrew guard summoner in 3.4 (was missing sustain)
So I went with full life leech, crafted blind and chaos res on my claw Got -mana cost on my amulet. No regen maps are now easier to play, better then mana leech setup. And rethink a bit gloves setup with crafted melee range, +1 lvl for cyclone and 100% poison on hit from poison + lesser poison (actually overcap due to 20% from herald)
Rest

I just wanted to say that I started using Fang of Arakaali and it greatly increases clear speed, and I don't really have any issues with mana sustain. I think there is some small issue with life gain, but there are a variety of ways to deal with that, and you can actually get the Attack Speed corrupt on Fang of Arakaali to get similar attack speed to claw.
I am also running Steelskin and a 3-link Holy relic, So I can fully link up my Fang of Arakaali to assist with damage. I'll try and report back more when I get further into the atlas |

" Sounds interesting, though pretty scary to run this without the LGOH from proper Claw... |
|
" Well if you do not run red maps... ripping rather hard with proper damage. |

Interesting setup Atataforthewin. I think you should switch herald of purity for holy relic in the helm. The relic is weak and often dies. It can make more use of +levels in my opinion.
Found this ring from a legion battle: It's pretty good for this build. I'm gonna replace the resistance craft with attack speed when i get better equipment. Last edited by kompaniet#2874 on Jun 23, 2019, 5:50:32 PM

" Reds are super easy with the LGOH Claw at least. :) |
