[3.14] Gryph's Thirsty Archmage Cremation Necromancer
|
How badly does the Essence Glutton nerf in 3.14 hurt the build?
" | |
" Yeah........kind of a lot I think. Build will still work, but might need a more investment into Mana regen. Cloak of Defiance becomes a lot stronger too. That said, it still provides more regen than other classes. 2% mana regen is still massive. But you aren't going to be able to reach 10k mana per second like before. LOL |
|
|
Could we make up for it with a mana flask, lol?
| |
" probably not but it won't hurt to use XD Bottom line is at end game you end up with way more regen than you need anyways. |

Hi Gryphen, I played your burning witch in 3.13 and am thinking of playing this build in 3.14. Will you play/update this build yourself during 3.14?
| |
" Yeah I'll be making appropriate updates. |
|
|
Will give this a go for new league.
As i have arthritis that "trigger a socketed spell" nerf is going to be annoying though. See you in the new league. | |
" We benefit from Skill Effect Duration. So triggering each skill every 8 seconds doesn't hit us that hard. Wave of Conviction is the only thing that's a bit messy - could cast it manually (or link it with flask macro), I don't know. Durations with the Ascendancy nodes only: Bone Offering: 7,5s duration (94% uptime) Wave of Conviction: 6s duration (75% uptime) Elemental Weakness: 18.5s duration Tempest Shield: 18s Nevertheless we might have to wait 8 seconds for curse/wave if cooldowns are wasted before as a boss appears (e.g. Sirus, Conquerors). Essence Glutton nerf feels a bit bad, but nothing too severe. With Harvest nerfs Cloak of Defiance might be BIS even for Cremation's crit variant. Last edited by entweder on Apr 14, 2021, 3:17:47 AM

" does the trigger nerf also affect the trigger in kitava's thirst? | |
|
No changes for Kitava's Thirst – might even be a bit more attractive now. Some/many people use other helmets and therefore solely rely on the wand's trigger craft.
