[3.11] Melting Nova | 16m DPS, 6k life, acro/phase | Deathless Sirus A8

Shock on ring craft is 2c, that's the cheapest way to get shock. I used it on all content and works perfectly. Blind is only nice on paper, this build has hit chance so low, before you would get your hits in you would be doing no dmg, and have to wait for everything to start working. Would be rng fest.

Yea, tested it out, during map it was ok but on mm it can take 1-2 secs till you get a blind.

Put a CoH setup to my vortex for now and put RF into the movement setup.

Hey, Thank you for the build and detailed guide.
I'm currently doing this build, but I'm lacking a lot of dps and I get one shotted a lot, can you please help me with item choices; what to change, what to buy ?,
here's my pob: https://pastebin.com/3Hnvzswc

With the new POB link why did we take the power charge node route instead of the fire dmg node route now?

That was a little change I've been testing. I've switched Lethal Assault for an extra power charge. We then changed 5 points (from Heart of Flame) applying 4 points on Disciple of the Forbidden, using our 7 power charges to effectively increase both our spells' damage and our Cyclone crit chance (and we still have one free passive point).

If you don't go for a chest with increased critical chance for attacks like me (I went for frenzy charge generation and blind nearby enemies), increasing your critical strike chance is a good thing (check that I got to 100% crit chance for Cyclone even without chest). If you go for a crit chance chest, then these changes aren't really necessary.

I'll try to review POB tomorrow for any other possible changes. There are some other options I didn't check. :)

I'm using a really specific Glorious Vanity atm that gives Fire Leech among other things, but of course some nodes on the tree I had to switch around and have different effects. How can I best calculate my APS accurately taking this into account?

I'm contemplating between running zealotry or anger in place of blood and sand, I'm leaning towards anger since I can buy a precision crit multi with fire leech anger which can open an enchant slot on my helmet like 40% frostbolt damage, will this be a good idea?

Also, I'm accepting offers for this helmet, feel free to whisper me: @Asurassassin , I'll reply if I like the offer

Anyone here who actually reaches 7.57aps exactly and feel a diff between that and 0.02 less?
I cant seem to reach the exact number no matter what I change.

There is no way you would notice something like that, spells alone have range like fb 1k-1.6k, that damage is much bigger difference than 0.02 aps, you would have to test like 100 shaper runs and record and maybe you could notice.

LL update, while damage possible is indeed bigger problem is DW means no shield and that's big portion of ES, im currently testing 1h with shield, and lots of conversions and atziris flask no avatar of fire. 7.5 aps and 6.8k ES with garbage shield.

Hmm yeah seems fair enuff.
Cant seem to reach a higher amount of dmg, it's almost like something is missing but cant tell what.
Changed gear quite a lot since we spoke :')

Hehe nice gear, with that kind of setup i would go cold to fire gem, even tho u are cold. Simply cause every time there is any damage conversion bonus chaos damage is applied again. I would even go trickster, Harness the Void, and Swift Killer, and focus on getting Crit multi and just "increased damage" mod, and go full chaos. With that kind of gear you are obligated:)
