[3.4] Teleports Behind You - Poet's Pen Lightning Warp & Arc, MF / Facetank t16 / Shaper / U. Elder
|
so with MoM, if I have a life total of 4881 and 400 es do I need 2.1k mana in total or 2.1k mana on top of herald of thunder reservation so in total 2.4k?
and does Energy shield factor into it at all? |

" Okay, just blew the last of my currency to get my MotC, shifted some stuff around. So the idea here is to use the Frenzy 4 link in the gloves setup for general clear, if i'm about to face a particularly tricky boss i would like to facetank, swap L. Warp 3-link out to B. Lightning 3-link? And i see some of your links conflict a little so i'm confused. Why additional accuracy in the barrage links, why not culling strike? Is the accuracy that low? Or does it actually reduce Barrage spread? What's with the random Enlighten in the MF setup? I'm assuming the bolded text is a typo and i should only be running one herald aura at a time? Which would you recommend? Does Berek's make HoI a better choice if i have it? I'm saving up for that one now. I'm not sure how i'll get a Choir since it's so expensive. Would you say my current setup is safe to push maps? Or should i swap the gloves out for Fingerless Gloves and replace the Leash with a Darkness Enthroned for some extra damage? Also, is the CDR belt not worth it? I've also been watching people work with Power Siphon + Faster Attacks as a means for rapid clear. What are your thoughts on it? Surely it removes the need for the PCoC setup. Not sure if Frenzy is worth keeping in that case if you set Barrage up to be your Single Target. I'm sorry if i'm being really dumb or something, i'm still in the process of understanding what makes/breaks builds and there's not really much explanation for a slow learner like me in some things like the links. I apologize in advance. Thanks so much for the help. Last edited by Nethicite#2012 on Jun 29, 2018, 12:32:53 PM

" Not dumb at all. Ask away. Use Barrage for general clear and bosses. Only use Frenzy if you need to generate charges on boss fights. Myself, I rarely use frenzy at all and might just pop it a few times when bossing but most of the time I forget about it. I put in additional accuracy just so I get more hits for the life gained on hit. I run culling as well cause of my 6 link. And yes, for bosses, you'll want to use the poets pen with the arc setup and the poets pen with the ball lightning setup. It's very nice to get a second set of pens so you can just press a key to swap weapon sets but that can get pricey having to double up your 21/20 arc gems and supports. Haste - It was a type in the bold part, my bad. I meant that you shouldn't be running Haste which will reserve more mana and not be good with MoM. If you've just using it for Vaal Haste then OK. With Mind of Matter, you'll want to make sure you have enough unreserved mana to make MoM work correctly. HoT will increase the lightning damage which should scale with the build and tree a bit better. EDIT: Also, as f4sak3n pointed out below, you get a good amount of increased damage because of Mastermind of Discord and the 25% lightning penetration. I haven't used the MF setup yet so I haven't really looked at the gem setup that may use Enlighten. For mapping (rapid clear) I just use Lightning Warp and Arc. It clears so fast and it doesn't matter if you're using Barrage, Frenzy, Power Siphon, etc. to proc it. I don't bother with casting Orb of Storms for the Power Charge on Crit. I save that for bosses as well. This build clears so fast that's I don't need to get either frenzy or power charges to be able to clear any faster. I actually did try power siphon at the beginning on the league but stopped when my game kept crashing every time I'd use it. I've read others have had the same issue with power siphon as well. It would be interesting to try though but I don't think it will change much as maps run so fast already. Last edited by YT_HB#0097 on Jun 29, 2018, 3:44:44 PM

If you have Mastermind of Discord then HoT of is a metric fuckton of dmg because it gets you 25% lightning pen. I really wouldn't play without it ever.
A nice little perk if you are using Inpulsa's is that 90% of your enemies get blown up and don't leave a corpse. This means that things like porcupines hurt a lot less, much like when you have the freeze/shatter effect. It's a small perk but with it's such a nice icing on the cake. |

" Great point. That's the reason I stuck with that node instead of going with Paragon of Calamity and the no ele reflect. |
|

Would anyone Mind checking out my attempt at this and tell me why I'm soo squishy, or what I can do against being squishy?
|

" Are you running both HoT and HoI? If so, don't. You need to keep your unreserved mana within the correct ratio for MoM to work correctly. Doing uber lab and getting Mastermind of Discord should help your unreserved mana a bit as well. Your mana to life ratio could be what is making you feel so squishy. " |
|
" No HoI - Resists are 72-75-75 (yeah trying to get that last 3% doesn't feel that worth around t7~ currently, just even more since I'm preparing to buy Choir). Uber Lab is pretty much a problem atm. since I do not know if I can complete it :/ What would Priority be btw. Weapon Swap Pen's or Choir or additional Jewels? |
|
|
Looking at the end game gear and MF gear, are we gonna have bad resistances due to unique items? Or are we compensating through jewels?
