[3.10] Sovyn's Lazy Pally - Tanky Templar with Max Block
" I could just do a Tooltip-Test cause i am using an Axe atm. But Tooltip-DPS of a Low-Lvl Reave with Bloodmagic - Conc Effect - Multistrike - Reave were higher then a Level 19 Cyclone Combo with Bloodmagic - Conc Effect - Life Leech - Cyclone. So dps-wise should Reave be possible to be equivalent for us "normal" Lazy-Pals. If you have a Soul-Taker you should go Cyclone, cause you can go for Added Fire instead of Life Leech and dont have to worry about Stuns. |

Around 4.2K hp with 10k DPS (with Hatred) using a BoR. Able to facetank Merciless Dominus (need to chug Topaz for the lightning dogs), not bad. Chaos resist still negative, but so it goes.
Using: Definitely need a better weapon still, but nothing's dropping. Using doublestrike + multistrike + melee splash + BM right now. I also wear Aurseize/ Goldwyrm and cull with IIR + IIQ, so this character can MF pretty well too. Last edited by curryflurry#5023 on Jan 13, 2014, 3:38:39 PM

" Hi ata! Yes, it may be an issue in maps. One quick note, I realize your build is completely different than mine, but unless you are using an elemental skill like infernal blow or glacial hammer or lightning strike, I think it would be better to go through and get faith and steel instead of catalyse. |

" Hello there, NutImNot! Yes, the weapon is most likely the culprit. You should probably trade for a weapon around 200 DPS at that level. Probably cost you 1 chaos. Also, a rustic sash (up to 24%) and a little physical damage on rings helps. Finally, the biggest difference is your choice of attack and support gems. See the guide for a good easy combo. |

" I have not timed it as that could be risky (taking my hands away from the keyboard/mouse while activating a stopwatch while near, say, Kole, would not be too smart), I believe Reave is a little bit slower than heavy strike if you have only one target. Reave will clear the whole area in a shorter time, obviously. Reave does kill the bosses, just not as fast as heavy strike. It's close enough though. I'd say stick with reave only in your case. |

" I tested cyclone for a third time today (with blood magic support) and as always found that, while the damage is impressive, especially with concentrated effect, life plunges very, very quickly, making it dangerous to use as the monsters desync and are not where they show on screen, so you are not leeching and can easily whirl yourself to death. On life with BM support, it uses 110 mana per whirl, or 177 with concentrated effect. 177 is especially dangerous at my attack speed. Compare to 5-link reave at only 35 mana. It's not really viable to use cyclone on mana with two auras running. Maybe a lightly supported cyclone with only one aura, but then, what's the point. In conclusion, cyclone is best used only with soul taker as already mentioned in the guide, unless one is very alert and does not mind a high risk playstyle and pounding insant life flasks constantly. I'll have some clear times for cyclone later in my 'research project.' I'm using cyclone - melee phys - faster atk - bm |

Close to heavy strike is enough i think. :-)
So i will level up reave and test it out. people make mistakes, but to get real chaos, you need a computer.

" Thanks for the update, curryflurry. Your weapon is 250 DPS, not likely to find better as a drop. Easiest to save up a few ex worth of smaller orbs and trade for something a bit better. If you want to try something with a little better DPS, replace double strike with reave, and melee splash with melee damage on full life or added fire damage. Don't forget quality too. :) |

" Yup, I'd really like to find an axe or sword, the dex requirement on the rapier made me shuffle around my jewelry quite a bit. I doubt I'll invest in buying a better weapon, as I'm interested in trying some other builds (there's a CI Facebreaker witch I'm looking at). I'll give reave a try, sounds interesting. Forgot to add, character is also lvl 80. MF is around 60IIQ/100IIR. |

I got a new Sword.
since it can still roll a Hybrid Phys Dam / Acc if im not wrong i guess it will be my last weapon till a (if i ever chance one) Soul Taker. DPS - Data
Spoiler
So Tooltip - DPS wise i can run 2 Setups !Please Note that i use a BoR, so all Setups are supported by Level 18 Melee Phys Dam + Level 18 Faster Attacks! 1. Added Fire (lvl 18) - Reave (lvl 10) - Multistrike (Level 19) - Conc Effect (level 18) That nets 21684.6 Tooltip DPS at 48 Mana Cost 2. Added Fire (lvl 18) - Cyclone (lvl 10) - Multistrike (Level 19) - Conc Effect (level 18) That nets 22007.7 Tooltip DPS at 216! Mana Cost now lets get more realistic: 1. Blood Magic (level 19) - Reave (lvl 10) - Multistrike (Level 19) - Conc Effect (level 18) That nets 17077.2 Tooltip DPS at 72 Life Cost 2. Blood Magic (level 19) - Cyclone (lvl 20) - Added Fire (level 18) - Conc Effect (level 18) That nets 14684.1 Tooltip DPS at 236 Life Cost 3. Blood Magic (level 19) - Cyclone (lvl 20) - Life Leech - Conc Effect (level 18) That nets 11562.8 Tooltip DPS at 236 Life Cost But allthough there are 5,5k Tooltip DPS Difference between Reave and Cyclone, Cyclone looks as it does more Damage. Dont know if im just plain wrong or missing anything. I hope it's ok to post these things here Sovyn. But the Intention was to give you more data. Regards Mith |
