Shadow - [3.9][HC/SC] Soulrend Trickster - Fast mapper with great defenses (League starter/All content) - Forum

I have some questions about the CI build: with the 4 auras active (clarity, discipline, grace and malevolence) I only have 133 reserved mana, meaning I only have one cast of soulrend before I'm out of mana, after which I'll have to wait a second before being able to cast it again. Is this the way the build is supposed to be played?	Posted by ImChewbacca on Apr 4, 2019, 10:13:37 AM Quote this Post
Playing since 3.0, I finally managed to kill shaper with this build. Lots of fun. And today, I killed my first uber elder (well I died 4 times but I think that's a decent first try !) My build is clearly not optimal but I'm fine with what I have, thank you for your guide! Last edited by Ulkio on Apr 4, 2019, 11:48:44 AM	Posted by Ulkio on Apr 4, 2019, 11:48:11 AM Quote this Post

You could shuffle resists onto the jewelry only and shift to double wand setup. I'm guessing if you've multicrafted one you would know the process to do a second. You can also get more DPS with a NACDOT Malevolence Watcher's Eye Ok, here we go: Helmet has Soulrend Increased Damage enchant. I most likely need to change "trigger" craft on offhand.

Nice, yeah the trigger for CWDT-IC could be a different suffix. There's a chaos damage suffix that will stack with the prefix and since you already have Arcane Surge chance on one wand and with Zealotry on the WE, you could also go for pure cast speed, but leaving that mod as is would also be fine. I'm trying to get a +1 Soulrend projectile helm but right now the ones listed have no resists.	Posted by Jolo0213 on Apr 4, 2019, 1:49:13 PM Quote this Post

I also haven't completed my last ascendancy (cant find crippling grief) What could I do to improve on my gear/DPS? Thanks guys! Use the recipe when your gems reach level 20 + 1 Gemcutter's Prism to receive a level 1 20% gem. It will increase your dps by a lot! Which gems do I quality? all of them?

So worth it to take the DPS decrease from starting back over at level 1 from a level 20 gem and re-level instead of spending 20 prisms to bring it up to 20%?

I typically level 6 of my main skill when I start a character in my weapon swap so I can flip them and have one stay high level while I level the others. Then it also gives me more chances to vaal 21/20. Either you spend the currency to get GCPs and quality all your gems manually, or you spend the time releveling gems to get back up to useable damage output. Pick your poison.

I probably should have though this through better lol. Hopefully I remember this lesson next time	Posted by shishkabob on Apr 4, 2019, 2:32:35 PM Quote this Post
