[OutDated!] 3.5 Beorn's Bosskiller [up to 72m sDPS]

If you are on mobile, I recommend putting landscape mode and then refreshing the page.


THIS BUILD IS OUTDATED, WOULD NEED MAJOR CHANGES TO WORK AGAIN!


Greetings Exile!

This Build was theorycrafted by a Lesun in 3.5. It's my privilege to share it with you.

We did loads of Chayula Pure Breachstone Run's, and were able to 1 Hit Kill her every time with this build in 6 Man.
Uber Elder or any Endgame Content was extremly easy to complete in a couple of seconds.

This Guide will teach you how to properly handle all Bosses and how to unleash the full damage potential.




? Offense: Up to 50m+ Shaper Dps (~1s Bossfights/per Phase) • even with mediocre gear big damage (~15-20m+ Shaper DPS)

? Defense: ~ 5500HP @LVL 100 • Fortify • Warlords Mark Benefit on Hit (leech Life and Mana/ Chance to gain an Endurance Charge on Kill) • Life Flask and some Life Regeneration • Perma Chill/ Freeze • Cannot Be Stunned • 40% Chance to Dodge Attacks • 30% Chance to Dodge Spells • And our best defense: Everything dies instantly!

? Weaknesses: Melee • very slow Movementspeed/ only Whirlwind is used to dodge e.g. Shaper Beam • Not the cheapest build out there (very expensive to go full bananas on max damage) • not Beginner friendly


_________________________{ HOW THE BUILD WORKS }_________________________
Spoiler

The sole purpose for this build and the goal in the theorycraft was, to kill bosses e.g. 6-man chayula as fast as possible. So huge Damage was the way.

How to get to that?

? Blade Vortex: Our basic Skill Gem. We link this to a bunch of Support Gems with at least a +2 Skin of the Loyal. As a result we will have a lvl 21 BV with + 5 LvL from Empower and the Armour. Best in Slot would be a double Corrupted Armour +2 LvL of Socketed Duration Gems and +1 LvL of Socketed Gems.


? Frost Bomb: We link this with Arcane Surge and Power Charge on Critical. It’s going to become a huge help with Power Charges and Mana Management.


? Stat-Sticks for our Blade Vortex: The Chance to deal Double Damage / while Focused is gonna prog alot. Also the Extra Gain is gonna boost the Damage enormously.



How we combine all of this: We will use our Stat-Sticks which also give us extra chaos damage. We also drop a Forst Bomb on the Enemies, so we can gain Arcane Surge. With Focus we shock the enemies, gain a huge Damage boost from our Chance to deal Double Damage. With Hyothermia we will slow them down (for defense) and decreasing their Cold Damage Resistance by -9% (Helmet mod) for our single target DPS.


Why Assassin? Assassin will help us cap our Critical Strike Chance with basically no investment and boost our damage tremendously, allowing us to invest in tankyness easier. Assassin also offers some Movement Speed, Culling Strike, Reflect protection, 100% Critical Strike Chance against Full Life Enemies which helps in clearing packs fast, and free Power Charge generation.

Why Blade Vortex? BV uses Physical Damage, it last for the minimum of 5 seconds. Also it has a 10% increased Critical Strike Chance for each Blade, it results in insane Damage. Same with the 35% more Damage for each blade. The 35% increased Hit Rate for each Blade, our Hit Rate is going to be something like 7.5. Blade Vortex itself is a little more complicated considering the Formula for our Sustained DPS:

____________________________{ GEAR & UNIQUES }____________________________
Spoiler


Most of the Gear is relatively expensive, do not be afraid to craft some of the gear by yourself!

Helmet

A rare Helmet with:

Enchant:
? +30% increased Blade Vortex Duration

Mods:
? High Life (~100+ to maximum Life) (also % increased maximum Life is realy good)
? Nearby Enemies have -9% to Cold Resistance

Can be Crafted with Fossils very easily.


Armour

Skin of the Loyal:
We will use a Skin of the Loyal with 4 Blue, 1 Green and 1 Red Socket.

BE AWARE YOU CANNOT CHANGE SOCKET COLORS!

We try to get at least a corrupted Armour with the Implicit +1 LvL of Socketed Gems; in total +2 LvL of Socketed Gems.

Better Option:
Double Corruption with the Implicits:
? +2 LvL of Socketed Duration/AOE Gems
? +1 LvL of Socketed Gems

High chance you'll have to buy one, since it will take alot currency and time to corrupt a perfect one.



Belt


We will use a Rare Stygian Vise for the Abyss Jewel Socket.

Mods:
? % increased Global Physical Damage
? % increased Elemental Damage
? ~85+ to maximum Life
? Resistances (min ~40 total Res, good is ~85+ total Res)

Boots

We will use Kaom's Roots. We Cannot be Knocked Back, our Action Speed cannot be modified to below base value. This means we can do Uber Elder without a Problem. It's realy nice to have 195+ Life on the Boots.

Enchant:
? Damage Penetrates 10% of Enemy Elemental Resistances if you haven't Killed Recently



Weapons

To Buff our Blade Vortex as best as possible we will use Stat-Sticks.

Since you wont be able to buy these on the Market, we will have to craft them ourselfes.

We will need 'Apex Rapier', Shaped Base with iLvL 85+.

Crafting Process:

? Blessed Orb: Roll the Implicit Mod to max: +35% to Global Critical Strike Multiplier

? For Style Points: Use Perfect Fossils to get 30% Quality on the Weapons

? Alteration Orb: Roll till you hit: Gain 18-20% of Physical Damage as Extra Cold Damage (T1 Shaped Mod)

? Regal Orb: Regal the Weapons.

? Orb of Annulment: Annul of the gained useless mod. We will need every Prefix/Suffix Slot for our Craft.

IF the Gain Mod is stil on the Weapon continue; IF NOT repeat Alt Spam.

? MultiMod: Craft 'Can have multiple Crafted Mods' on your Weapons.

Multimod Crafts:

? % increased Spell Damage | Gain % of Non-Chaos Damage as extra Chaos Damage

? % Chance to deal Double Damage

? % Chance to deal Double Damage while Focussed

? Gain % of Non-Chaos Damage as extra Chaos Damage

Our Weapons should look like this now:




Rings

We will use Mark of the Shaper and a rare Elder Ring.

? Mark of the Shaper

Go for almost/Go for 80% increased Spell Damage of your other Ring is an Elder Item

Increased maximum Life it's nice to have the 10%.



? Elder Ring

If you don't hit your max Resistances go for an Ruby/Fire Resistance Ring or Topaz, whatever you need.

IF you have hit you max Resistances and would like to go for even more Damage, the Choice of an Elder Opal Ring (iLvL 83+) is easy.

Look for an Elder Base with Warlords Mark on it, or Alt Spam.
Multimod for the Mods.

Mods:
? Shock nearby Enemies for 4 Seconds when you Focus
? Curse Enemies with Level 12 Warlords Mark on Hit
? ~50+ to maximum Life
? % increased Damage
? to max Mana / % of Damage taken is gained as Mana over 4 Seconds when Hit (open Prefix, you can chose what you'd like best)

Can be Crafted with Multimod.



Amulett

We will use a Shaped Amulett. If you haven't managed to get enough Attributes a Onyx Amulett is a good Option.

Important Mods:
? Gain % of Physical Damage as Extra Cold Damage
? Gain % of Non-Chaos Damage as extra Chaos Damage
? ...

Gain Mods are pretty strong, if you manage to get your hands on an Amulett with double Gain thats pretty GG!

Mods:
? increased Global Physical Damage
? % to Global Critical Strike Multiplier
? ~50+ to maximum Life
? Resistances




Jewels

We will use a Watcher's Eye, with:

? Damage Penetrates (10-15)% Cold Resistance while affected by Hatred

Thank you exiles for taking the time to read my guide, I greatly appreciate it! This is my first guide ever, so any thoughts and feedback is welcome.

I'd also like to give special thanks to ISBN, who helped get this build to max potential, also big thanks to flowny who also took part in the discussions and provided alternative ideas.

I will keep updating and improving the guide as much as possible, hopefully even for the next league if it survives the patch notes day.
