made it to wave 20/20 on the simulacrum...but final boss was a bit too much. am i doing something wrong w/ the build :\ or is it more mechanical, and i just need to learn that fight better?


Edit: would wand slinger be good for this build? Its very close to our tree

you just need to get higher level and better gear eventually. I have 8k hp, capped chaos res, good flat armor and a phys damage taken as fire/2 min endurance charges. I also try to fortify proc vs hard boss, so i am effectively 2x as tanky as you are. The wave 20 bosses can't kill me, unless Kosis slams on his ball, which deals like 20k damage or something and isn't designed to be tanked. My damage is also considerably higher, which means i have more uptime on flasks/molten shell.

The mechanics also play an important role, as i said kosis has a 1 shot attack and Omniphobia has a bleed attack. Omniphobia is best fought without you moving as he actually doesn't have a 1 shot skill, vs Kosis only move when you are near his balls/orbs.

You do 0 damage with your attacks, only spells. Don't get wand slinger.

thanks for the detailed response i've recently updated my gear, and weapon so I may be able to take on the wave 20 boss now. By the 1 shot ability kosis has you mean his giant shaper laser, and that garbage shit he puts on the ground that looks like the storm when figthing sirus?

What do you reckon I should upgrade on my gear for significant gains ? Sorry if i'm bombarding you with noob questions, just really interested in minmaxin your build out as I find it really good.

Hi. Enjoying your build mate. Can you explain what the best weapon stats are as im a tad confused. Also how are you generating endurance charges?

cheers

I think getting 100% increased spell damage, followed by like 100 flat added fire damage(either spell or wand, doesn't matter since they are 1:1 the same value added to volatile dead), and having an open suffix is more than enough for a weapon. You do need crit enchantment on boots though, later on, as you won't have 100% uptime vs bosses without it while trying to play it smart. I have 100% uptime because i have like 17% crit chance vs bosses, whereas other people have 5%. And the sooner you get it proced, the sooner you deal more damage. So it is effectively a more damage multiplier

I am not generating endurance charges, they are part as crafts for my rings.

hey, leveling this now, looks nice :) thx for the build.

question on the cluster jewel, are theese ur optimal choices? or what would the best or most important ones be?

Adds 9 Passive Skills (enchant)
Added Small Passive Skills grant: 12% increased Fire Damage (enchant)
--------
1 Added Passive Skill is Corrosive Elements
1 Added Passive Skill is Doryani's Lesson
1 Added Passive Skill is Smoking Remains
--------
i got this for leveling for example (jewel spot missing)

wouldnt corrosive elements be better than sadist?

I use wave of conviction, so i don't need Corrosive elements, and wave of conviction is used with Combustion, which gives more damage than a herald of ash, which is what you'd replace it with if you'd gotten Corrosive elements. I think my jewel is pretty good, as smoking remains itself has 35% damage and is kinda good in juiced up maps for the defense. Would only replace it for a 8 passive one with the same notables and jewel socket.

You can get a small jewel that has life and a life notable, but i personally liked the block consistency so i picked that, doesn't really matter what you'd get here.

hmm i prbly miss something, so gotta ask again sry:D

isnt sadist just some increased damage? (do we shock/freeze with this build?)
corrosive elements is also 15 increased ele ddmg and the additional -resistance, wouldnt that be still better even if we got so much -resist already?

Hey, today started building this piece by piece and finished my day with this:

Spoiler

So far character is very tanky, block doing its job, that's all good. But I feel like I'm missing some damage comparing to other VD builds. Tried Aul with Anger and it immediately improved some of it, but still need some dmg I think.

After I level Awakened Cast on Crit I will free 4 points and plan to using Medium Curse Jewel for Unnerve + 5% more dmg and I hope that will be enough :)
