[3.6] Milky's Scorching Ray Totems (updating process)
|
Elemental Focus - Supported Skills deal (30-49)% more Elemental Damage
Supported Skills cannot inflict Elemental Ailments Ignite is an elemental ailment. It's a bit complicated, but basically ignites can stack, like a poison that does fire damage over time (burning) instead of chaos damage over time. So anything linked to Elemental Focus cannot apply an ignite, and this build sockets Ele Focus to both the RF totems and the Searing Bond. However, RF and Searing Bond both apply burning. They just don't apply Burning via an ignite. If you want to switch support gems around, then it is likely the skill tree should be changed around too to allow for more ignite probability, ignite damage and ignite duration, and I have no idea whether it's worth the hassle. I am not 100 % sure about the above, but I think that's the situation. Last edited by Kastanj on Aug 27, 2017, 6:51:58 AM

I would just like to add that probably the biggest boost I got in the late game with this build, was getting a +1 curse amulet, and using vulnerability.
If I understand this correctly, vulnerability adds a '33% more damage' and is probably the single biggest dps upgrade you can get, especially if you dont have to waste skill points to get to whispers of doom. The only drawback to it is that if you use it in the Orb of Storms 4 link instead of the increased crit chance, proc-ing Elemental Overload on single targets becomes rather unreliable, so I would recommend using a Witchfire Brew for bosses. Kinda surprised Milky hasn't put emphasis on this in the guide, since I feel it gave me far more than Tukohamas shield, for only half the price | |
" Kinda surprised Milky hasn't put emphasis on this in the guide, Milky make strat build extremaly cheap as they say hi dont wont spent to many chaos on this build if y dont wont losing orb crot chance use second curse as witchfire brew potion Creates a Smoke Cloud on Use 50% increased Charges used (25-40)% increased Damage Over Time during Flask Effect Grants level 21 Vulnerability Curse Aura during Flask Effect |

" Hey bro, i died 2 times, both for bad positioning or slow dodge from big hits. | |
" a +1 curse amulet that has useful stats is quite expensive and i wanne keep the guide for those that have nothing, play on a budget or use it just as a starter. i am pretty sure i mention dualcurse (or more) and other more expensive or alternative options in the guide ;) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi-NL9JevOxF-6W3n-a7o-w

First, just wanted to say thanks for this build! After a totally failed start with a ranger build, this has gotten me to level 85 and T10 very quickly. While my damage is great, I am starting to feel a little bit squishy, especially against some map bosses. Obviously I need more life (Sitting at 5400, with two 5% life nodes coming up next), but just wondering if theres any other suggestions on where to go from here. I have about 10 ex so I can put a bit into the character. My biggest concern is scorching ray, which seems really situational and since im always avoiding damage I hardly use it. Is there a better defensive 4L I can use in its place?
My gear: | |
" 4l cwdt + immortal + molten shell + increase duration |

Is there a way to check my totem damage? It's hard to tell if scepters are an upgrade or not.

" only via path of building. besides that searing bond dmg is a way to look at, since it scales with the same stuff except area dmg and totem life. since sceptres only roll fire and burning dmg + dot mastercraft a dps increase in SB will mean a dmg increase for rft as well https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi-NL9JevOxF-6W3n-a7o-w My Youtube channel with builds, unique and mechanic discussions etc Last edited by Milkyslice on Aug 27, 2017, 2:04:30 PM
