[3.6] Milky's Scorching Ray Totems (updating process)
|
Hi Milky
I'm really grateful for this extremely detailed guide. Still something(EE) is not clear for me(God! this game is daunting.) 1. If I use 'add cold damage to spells' weapon, will it proc EE ? if that's the case i can drop my trap gem. 2. I could get 'Nycta's Lantern', it says 'socketed gems deal 63 to 94 additional fire damage'. Do you think this is practically the same menaing as 'added fire damage to spells' ? Thank you again. hope you well. Last edited by sacred_pajamas on Aug 17, 2017, 7:16:07 PM

" If you have Ancestral Bonds ("AB"), No. Since you don't do damage yourself. If you don't have AB, Yes. However, you still need a spell to apply it, which if ice/lightning, will apply EE anyways. So you effectively do a trivial increased amount of damage. " Yes: 30% increased Elemental Damage+2 to Level of Socketed Fire Gems Doesn't help build: Socketed Gems are Supported by level 10 Fire Penetration Doesn't help build: (20-30)% increased Spell Damage Doesn't help build: (150-200)% increased Physical Damage Doesn't help build: +(6-10) Life gained for each Enemy hit by Attacks Meh: 25% increased Light Radius Doesn't help build: Socketed Gems deal 63 to 94 additional Fire Damage The guilde does a good job explaining why each doesn't apply (e.g. how RF and burning damage work, AB not doing damage) Hope this helps!

Mr. Milky,
I've been playing some and have feedback and questions.
Discuss
Mind over Matter: Even with decent mana and mana regen rolls on gear, it's not that good - especially with DOTS - and certainly not better than Bloodmagic. Might be viable and fun with ideal enchantments, uniques etc.
I switched back to BM and took the 3 templar Celestial (something) elemental nodes. Still testing. Note: 2.6 I ran 5 Endurance Charges without using Immortal Call (as a Berzerker). It was strong defensively and efficient. With MoM I used zero endurance charges (used the other war cry) and it was noticeably weaker. Now I'm trying 3 charges (investing 4 passives in other things) and will try Immortal Call. I tried Scorching Ray in the 4-link damage setup. I'm not sure it's worth it. The Damage isn't impressive or anything, although it's kind of fun to kill mobs with. I expect either no links in Soul Mantle (6th slot in 5L), or a 4-link with utility (faster casting, increased duration) setup is better. Which leads me to a question: With your post-3.0 experience, do you think it's worth using SR 4 slots for the utility? Or is there a good chance that SR with no supports + beefy CwDT is better overall? I'm thinking CwDT + Immortal Call + <<non-fire spell>> + Blind. This gives Elemental Equilibrium and a nice defensive Blind. I expect /hope there's a suitable non-fire spell that would do the trick.... Thoughts on that setup with this build?

have you beaten shaper yet in 3.0? I am finding the guardians to be pretty impossible so far.

" ripped my first set because i mispositioned the vortexballs pretty badly in phase 3. I am out of, pun in tended, shape with the fight after not killing him for 2-3 month :P 1-2 more sets an i kill him again with pretty bad gear for sure. Guardians were not a big problem, except chimera because fuck cloud phase rng. Always depends on the mapmods ofc " i found utility supports for SR the most usefel, namely inc duration, Efficacy and faster casting. could be slimmed down to 3 supports for a bigger cwdt or other stuff. links in SR gives flexebility to keep the debuff up easier 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 18, 2017, 12:23:05 AM

not sure if you saw my msg or not milky going to post it agin. question that i hope u read and do the numbers on. instead of 4 linking scorching ray is it worth it to put it in the 6 link soul mantel with RF replace either increased area or efficacy during boss battles. that way you have another 4 link for a cwdt or something else. is it a dps loss on single target? please do the numbers and not just say that its a dumb idea. i am saying that u only put scorching ray in for boss battles not during the map
i would do it my self on the path of building but i dont know wht im doing on that and idk what im looking at for it. |
