[Outdated] Ultimate EDTrickster [2M dps - UNKILLABLE]
|
First of all, thanks a lot for this great and detailed guide!
This is only my second league and I am having a good time with this build. I am currently working on completing the atlas, currently having spawned conquerors 25-28 and having died to Sirus for my first 12 times :P All in all most T16 maps feel good to my (very slow) playstyle (when compared to what I see in streams), but sometimes I still die a few times, probably as much due to lack of any understanding what is going on as insufficient gear for present modifiers. I am nearly "done" with the first page of the upgrade flowchart, looking to get a Stygian Vise+Jewel next. Is there anything else I should definately change or upgrade? I currently have ~250c, so not much in the way of currency. My PoB: https://pastebin.com/tmK4yXZt My Profile: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/CometStrike/characters Anything you can recommend I change gear or passive wise? I'd love to get rid of the "Might" node near MoM in favor of "Blood Drinker", but currently need the Str for my boots. Might be something to get on the belt or jewel, though. Also, what is the best way to fight single target mobs? The fight annoying me most is the Drox fight, I seem to take ages (10 mins?) to kill him....

Hey guys one question:
i switched from essence drain to toxic rain because its a lot better for bossing, map clearing is mostly the same when using caustic arrow. But when i run T16 delirium maps for splinter farming it#s very stressful because the damage is slightly too low to do it very comfortably. So i decided to craft a better bow but had very hard problems to roll the right mods on it. And the few times i got it i was very unlucky annulling. This whole crafting is so much frustating and it's not fun at all wasting > 60ex. Finally i was lucky with the anullment of a pretty good ed bow so i decided to keep it because i am very tired of this farming -> fossil buying -> crafting -> failing again -.- ... so my question is, will the damage be enough to go through those t16 deliriums like butter with a +6 bow and essence drain? i sold some of the stuff that i used for essence drain and have to buy it back.. is it worth or should i rather stay toxic rain and try to sell that bow and maybe craft a new one although i very much hate crafting? Edit: i have no clue about PoB, especially damage calculations for essence drain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHePO2s4Qe0&ab_channel=hakunamatata Last edited by dynameinert#4544 on Nov 9, 2020, 11:16:16 AM

" Got a belt and jewel, which also allowed me to shift the passive points from Might to Blood drinker, massively increasing my life at the cost of some ES. Should I go for the recommended boot upgrade (from the flowchart) next? |

Got a new quiver to replace mine. Not sure if I should throw an exalt at it to try to add a nice new suffix or not.

" Have just recorded a quick & dirty T16 Beyond Delirium with a suprise visit from some syndicate members (nice exalted drop at the end too). Damage & survivability is ok ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQMDmW0IJBs " Quality your gems! You can flip them at the vendor (vendor a level 20 gem with a GCP to receive a 20% level 1 gem back). Boots are a good anc cheap place to upgrade. Aim for high life and lots of resits. Dodge to spell or attacks are a bonus. 30% MS is a must!

" Wow, thank you! Amazing, that looks really smooth! May I ask you how much essence drain dps you got? If we compare bows may I achieve that too? I can't believe you don't get any damage, how?? I even couldn't survive without hh... I switched to CI because this life build felt so squishy in the beginning, maybe i've done something terribly wrong... Hmm, now I really have to think about that since I would need at least helmet & amulet. That ex drop :D Edit: watched the video more carefully and saw the dps in the beginning, thank you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHePO2s4Qe0&ab_channel=hakunamatata Last edited by dynameinert#4544 on Nov 9, 2020, 2:36:28 PM

" At the beginning you can see me hovering over the tootip DPS without any buffs up. Tooltip DoT is 825k. With frenzy charges, infusion, flasks, berserk & arcane surge it goes up to 1.6mil. PoB DPS is higher (up to 4.5mil) with withered stacks and spider nets. Defense wise 1) Avoidance: 75/75 dodge, 55% chance to evade, wind dancer, phase acrobatics, a lot of movement speed. 2) Reduced damage taken if you do get hit: Berserk, Wind Dancer & Ascendency all give less damage taken. 3) High regen from ED if you get hit. Happens a couple of times in the video. 4) I've also tried to get some chaos res (have 46% chaos / 76% against DoT). In the video I also use Flesh and stone for blind / reduced damage taken. For bosses like Sirus or Uber Elder I swap to Aspect of Spider and also swap the green nightmare for spreading rot.

" You run spider OR flesh and stone, not both. With how gem starved we are, I'd heavily recommend spider. You only run both with the diadem setup, that's the point of the helmet. " This build needs to stack different defensive layers that synergise with each other to really shine. The hardest part is getting the EHP to survive the oneshots going through dodge. Also, at the beginning, ED's damage is so low that everything gets to hit you, which is very dangerous. With a bow like you shown, you should have no trouble reaching 1Mil ED tooltip, slightly outperforming what's in the video. That said, ED will still stay a low damage skill, and it will currently not one tap 100% delirious t19 maps like a random wander/ice shot char would. Toxic rain still has better clear in very hard maps since it has better damage, but the regen given by ED makes ED far outperform it imo. And in lower density maps, ED is on par with headhunter builds, so there's that too. If you don't like how ED plays and you'd rather one shot the game, do an assassin scaling an explo chest. Penance brand, blade vortex... The damage and clear is so absurdly high that nothing really has time to kill you, and assassin still offers a very fast playstyle (there's 30% movementspeed on the ascendancy alone). Chaos dots might not have been the best choice for juicy game oneshotting. That said, if you're a few hundread exalts deep and didn't feel the tankyness, there's probably something wrong you did, yeah. |
