[3.8] [SC] TheEmperorSlayer's Autobomber - Pushing Boundaries

Have you given any thought on using spiritual aid and using minion damage scaling for generic damage? Seems like it would make it pretty easy to find killer jewels

Hello, it is a viable choice although I am not a fan and I definitely wouldn't change the jewels. 36% elemental damage from Grand Spectrum is pretty much as good as it gets for the price. Of course you can replace all 3 with better jewels, but it's not an easy task!

You cant use this build until 62 so what is a good build to start with I don't see anything about that in the guild maybe i missed it but can you help me

So GGG pretty much killed this build for legion?

We can't shatter legion mobs and cospris got nerfed into the ground for us. I just transitioned from my flicker cause I love autobomber and saved up 7ex to start bombing but pretty sure I'm just gonna sell my gear and try to recoupe some of my loss.

The build didn't even need a nerf. It's such a huge currency investment to even clear yellow maps.

Cospri's Malice wasn't nerfed. I explained how to keep using it, too. I still don't recommend that route, specially early into a league.

Do you have any tips on the route to take with the skill tree? I only see the lvl 100 one in PoB and I am not sure what passives are priority for this build.

Thanks for sharing this build! I'm really loving it

I have made a few changes to my character. I replaced glacial cascade with ice nova, and replaced shield charge with cyclone (linked with COC and frostbolt). Do you think this setup would have better clear speed and singer target damage?

Hello, I often answer these with "if it's on the finished tree, it's good". By the time you get to 90-93, which is rather fast these days, it's easy enough to just leave out the 4-point aura nodes and the jewel socket or some other nodes.

Hello, I'm glad you enjoy the build. That's the most important thing, and as such please keep using your setup if you like it better. Due to the mechanics of Cyclone, it cannot match the clearspeed of Shield Charge, but in turn the singletarget dps with Frostbolt and Ice Nova should be much higher.

Thanks for the quick answer. I'm using that setup as I need higher dps to kill rare monsters. I will try the ripping thoughts setup if I get better gears (HH, +1 coming calamity, etc). Btw, hearld shatter combined with ice nova is really satisfying :)

Hey, decided to come back to this build after a while, and i gotta say it is refreshing having such high clearspeed after playing much more fair builds for a while.

That said, I'm finding it really hard to survive with this build at lvl 90, with a fully geared character. I have ~3.9k life and 1.2k ES, capped resists with wise oak, as well as using atziri's promise and kiara's determination for defences. Im using the traditional shield charge setup and changed to the rippling thoughts to maintain high clearspeed. I ended up even being able to get a headhunter from a different character that i was using a while ago, and it definitely makes maps crazier when i get double beyond and not too rippy mods. However, sometimes it just isnt enough. even in maps with very mediocre mods, and oftentimes double beyond scenarios, I just die to random shit all the time. something will often just instantly drain my health, or a rare/unique beyond monster will just one shot me and I cant do enough damage even with HH stacks and heralds and shield charging into him. even in maps as low as t10 I can die to basically anything even with stacks up, and t16s are a 50/50 gamble on whether ill die or not. I have somewhere close to 100 deaths so far and cant get past lvl 90 due to exp loss.

I have all the recommended gear, and followed your skill tree exactly where possible. yet, i still feel like i dont have enough damage and i just die too often. if i get HH stacks going early, and get 8k+ ES and tonnes of extra damage, i can just insta-nuke the map and it feels amazing, yet this is by far not the majority of maps. I just dont know what to do, and its really killing my enthusiasm for the game.

I was really looking forward to coming back and playing a super high clearspeed build and grinding t16s for lvl 100, and made a flicker strike char which never ended up working well (since they fucked flicker strike so it basically doesnt hit 1/3 of the time) and decided to come back to this. Yet this build feels even weaker than when i last played it in 3.5 without a HH, primarily running elder toxic sewers. Now i feel weak as hell and demotivated.

any advice would be great.
