Dunno if wave of conviction works when the build uses elemental equilibrium... Maybe the author can say something about it but WoC is both lightning and fire... wouldn't it be better to use spell that is only lightning or cold to proc equilibrium?

You're doing nothing wrong. Wave of conviction is meant to deal a majority fire damage so it procs the exposure part of the skill (-25% res), then your attacks and totem attacks will properly proc elemental equilibrium as long as you dont have added fire damage to your attacks. You attack so fast that the time monsters are resistant to fire damage from wave of conviction is negligible.

Why are you uploading videos here that are not related to the build in the topic header? you have a completely different build

Completely different? It's almost exactly the same tree except I take life nodes instead of es.

There were posts in the thread asking about boss-killing. The OP's videos weren't that great so I was just trying to help showcase the potential more. No need to share anymore I guess.

I feel like I am pretty much min-maxed aside from a +1 arrow. I find that vaal haste is very good for burst in this build. Sitting pretty with 7.4k es.

Here's my gear:

it is impossible to pass the map Cortex Relic Chambers Map, not enough mana and damage even for one boss, spent three portals on one boss because there is not enough mana

I've done the eHP version of this build the OP has done, but recently switched over to a similar variant of your build with much more success.

I wasn't finding much value out of the ballista (probably doing something wrong) so switched to a plethora of CWDT as I figure out what's best.

I can definitely say following your build mostly my damage is significantly higher, and survivability feels much stronger. I am still pretty new to end game so I die to bosses often, but mostly because I don't know the abilities, but am learning.

Thanks to both OP and you for this exciting build!

Hey everyone,

What do you think about using a level 4 empower in this build instead of one of the other support gems? Would that be a significant DPS boost or no?

Thanks!

Any thoughts about Yoke of Suffering amulet in combination with Storm's gift gloves for this build? Would it even work with the sock and ignite?

I took a crack at it.

9,100 ES and 30k Evasion.




I've done shaper, guardians, etc.

I think I think i'm screwing up the mechanics of playing the build somehow. Sometimes i get insane ramp up on bosses and they melt, sometimes i don't.

Any other tips to ramping up in the fight?
