[2.1] SuperNova - 200k+ AoE dps ! Insane clear speed - Super fun - Atziri viable | Featured by GGG!

"

@bilgin_89 - High evasion, 10% elem damage, 30 move speed and 14-16% spell block chance for such build is far from useless.

10% elem dmg from atziri step do I miss something ?

Not that it matters but shouldn't IC be lvl 5 if your CWDT can support skills up to lvl 42?
I ask because even with CWDT at level 2, you can support level 4 IC (but maybe you don't want it to proc on those smaller hits). So it makes sense that you would have CWDT at level 3 if you found that to be a sweet spot. But I can't think of any scenario in which you would have CWDT at level 3 and keep IC at level 4 instead of leveling it to 5 (unless you don't have enough strength).
Again, it matters very little though.

@dr_13 i was about to write somthing about another boots and then i removed it so i forgot to remove that 10% elem damage sentence. Ignore that.

@Unity_Absolute I didn't check wat u said but I trust you that you're right, sure go ahead level it to 5 :) as u said it really doesnt matter that much, as long as ur CWDT and IC are low level and proper level to work together.

@SauerZ - hi dude, before I answer you i'd like to see the passive tree aswell.

@GGZII - instead of being negative I can try and help you out. its up to you.

Nothing too help out, I just find the build has too little hp, sure its fun blowing a mob up but thats it, its never going to have enough hp to be a solid build imo

If you read the guide u'd see i said "the build was awesome with 45k dps".

Imagine how many points you can take off from damage in favor of more defense, and still smash maps.
You can OWN with 80k-120k dps easy. The tree is based on MY OWN thought about what is best for this specific build.

As said its up to you and I wish you good luck anyway =D

Then go ahead and play the CI version as I do. I am level 91 and with not exactly the best gear I am already at 8.2k ES. That is fairly enough for pretty much any map I run (and I was even at the highest tiers). Also my DPS would be somewhere around 50k atm (though I am playing full frost dmg version, so you have to add the bonus of cold pen to that).

Besides staying frost will allow for great defenses via freezing anything. In my honest opinion, this is one of the safest casters you can have.

thinking of doing the ci version myself, since im dying too much atm with the life based one. However how are u getting enough life leech to sustain your es? And does the decreased aoe due to lack of carcass bother u?

Life leech is exactly the same as with life version.
You just need to pick Ghost reaver talent (no worries its right next to the Shadow power charge area so you are there already). Its 2% from warlord mark, plus you might want to use LL gem when running reflect maps.

The AOE is ofc worse, but from my point of view, Carcass Jack needs nerfing to the ground and a very ahrd one. I am getting seriously bored of everyone running this item as long as you use AoE skill...
Anyway back on topic, you lose some range but for me its more or less about getting used to it, not much of a bother really.

About dying:
One thing to note here, you will lose the ability to spam insta heal flasks with ES. On the other hand you gain more defensive flasks, you have a flask for every resist plus a granite one for isntance. I also suggest you take the "Alchemist" nodes just above with start. Those nodes significatly boost flask effects making them even more awesome - 30% better effect. This means that drinking say Rubz flask will grant +13% max resist (instead of just 10%). Trust me, it makes more of a difference than it seems. Besides its hell of a fun with Quicksilver flask of adrenaline. You keep running with 100+% speed :D
Also do usu vaal discipline as your vaal skill instead of vaal grace. It certainly helps a lot :)

Hey mate, i dunno if it was asked, but did u ever tested double void batteries for this build?
Seems if you put 6l in armour chest with spell echo instead of added cold, may be result in way more damage. Void batteries are extremelly cheap atm.

Also, how do you survive in map like -max res + no regen + ele reflect + no leech (lets say tier 15)? I suppose it is with flasks and mega slow?

First of all we need 2x 5L items for the lightning warp 2x curses setup + the Ice Nova, so there goes your void battery to waste :p

You also need the Spell echo built in the PoH staff + the 100% inc mana for mega mana pool.

As for no regen maps, who cares? you dont have HP regen anyway, and u leech ur mana from the dual curses, you will barely feel any difference in play style.

-max res is never a nice thing to have for any build, but then again - the playstyle is exactly the same.

Elemental reflect - swap Cold to Fire gem with Life leech, and pop topaz+sapphire flasks. Super fast clear if u do it properly [this was answered in the guide, which is why its important to read the whole guide :p].
