[Outdated] Ultimate EDTrickster [2M dps - UNKILLABLE]
" 60 int in range, 6*3=18% chaos multi. Actually worth it. |

" It's even better since Deep Thoughts gives 20 int so it's actually 80 int or 24%! (Unless that doesn't count but I think it does) Edit: Assuming the proposed new tree is used Last edited by JackOverlord#0536 on Mar 11, 2020, 2:38:15 PM

" Definitely at the Witch as others stated. |

" You are perfectly correct, my bad. It's 24% chaos multi, not 18%. Yeah, it's really good. Basically another watcher's eye there... Last edited by Darkxellmc#0807 on Mar 11, 2020, 3:31:01 PM

Pretty sure this will be my league starter (although there are some great shield nodes in 3.10 so maybe the max black version will give higher damage?)
Anyway. ED/con will obviously be good at mapping and hopefully the new league mechanic. Do we think the new nodes from gems in will increase its single target a decent amount too? |

" non of the shield builds can beat bow builds in terms of dps :D Last edited by Sonidox#3895 on Mar 11, 2020, 4:05:58 PM

Just a quick question:
What do you think of withering step instead of wither totems? Tarke talks about it in his league starter video: https://youtu.be/bGkAeNxQcTw?t=327 |
|
"It only puts 6 stacks out of 15, has a cooldown, and requires you to be semi close to apply it, and cancels itself when you use any other ability. It's a fun skill for movement and extra dodge, but as replacement for reliable source of wither I somehow don't see it. |

" Yep, bow > wands+shield. An argument can be made for wands to be competitive if you have a +4 corrupted chest, but I think we can all agree that you shouldn't base a build around items costing 200ex for it to even be viable. Absolutely right on this answer, the only thing that has more ED damage is a lowlife Bow variant. Also, no, singletarget won't be significantly better than in 3.9 sadly. Just ran the PoBs, we have about 10% more damage, and slightly more life. Nothing crazy changed stats wise. That said, the inclusion of elusive buff will make clearspeed significantly faster. They were already above average in 3.9 (comparable to an average non tempchains phys cyclone headhunter build), but this just turns it up to 11. There still is faster builds out there, sure, but the tankyness + clearspeed combo of this trickster is going to feel even greater. Bosses still as slow. Source for clearspeed comparison: I have a 20M dps savior headhunter cyclone slayer. Also played some Headhunter CoC assassin, it was faster. So fast in fact that most of my time was picking up loot, not very interesting. " He is absolutely right that wither totems are a heavy gem investment, requiring 3 gems (4 optimally). Aside from that, not sure about what he's talking about here, really. A bit funny that the skill rotation he gives (CA-ED-STEP) doesn't even work, your step will be on cooldown and you won't be able to apply more than 7 stacks. You'd need to use WS first, not last, to cancel it and trigger the cooldown. But then you'd loose your elusive buff. Anyways. I tried to play a bit with withering step, it doesn't feel good at all, and you absolutely can't sustain more than 7 stacks on a single target. Also, it conflicts with flame dash and will trigger inconsistent cooldowns. I don't think he actually tried it, it's really jank. Plus it doesn't really matter, totems are just a thing you precast anyways. Wither stacks from blight (spreading rot) are enough to kill most things. Lastly, don't even think about using vaal molten shell. Tarkie has literally 0 armour in this video, I have no clue why he's recommending that. Use steelskin or the new mage armor thing instead if you want a guard skill. |

I want to use this build as my league starter but I'm a bit concerned about single-target damage. I tried to recreate something that can be possible for me in the first week of the league and I sometimes even don't kill rares in T14 with random mods. Chimera took like whole 5 minutes of dodging and shooting ED. My gear is not that bad, but I don't use the watcher's eye and the legion jewel cause I don't think that I can afford them in the first week. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
Levelling was a breeze btw, can recommend, got to BA in 4 hours with ssf gear which is really good for casual player like me.
