[3.14] Kami's Life | LL | CI CoC Ice Nova Assassin | all Content | deep Delve | max Block

Are these COC Breakpoints bogus?

My attack speed was 7.58 (and 8.4 APS with flasks active), and so I decided to get it down to 7.41 so it's under 7.57 and no longer use increased attack speed flasks... and there is literally no difference in damage. I ran multiple shapers and they feel exactly the same.

Hi,

Thank you Kami for the build and other's for suggestion's in comments. Love this build. I'm a very casual player and playing the life version of the build. I'm mapping low reds at the time and feel low damage output sometimes. Can someone have a look and give some suggestions.

Some relatively cheap things you can do:

- 14% CDR belt
- Gloves with % increased damage against chilled enemies
- Precision crit multi watcher's eye
- Replace increased crit support with awakened added cold
- Max level + quality all gems that give more damage with added qual

Also make sure your arcane surge support is low enough level for it to proc off 1 vortex cast.

Yo. Build is doing great, clearing stuff easy enough. But I keep getting 1\2shot when i don't evade\dodge stuff. What can I do to help with that as life build?

Maybe better to just endure, farm and go CI?

PS: How the f*ck do we sustain through the maven fight? The regen\life leech isn't enough.

Get a good shield and spec the block nodes.

It's night and day.

CI is not magic. You will take as much damage, but without life flasks to replenish your ES. Unless you got godly gear, stay with your life build.

Edit: and put the frostbolt BEFORE ice nova in your Cospri.

so with this we can still go tanky without CI?

Life or ES is just just a buffer. The amount of damage you can take before your character dies.
CI has inherently larger buffer, but also less mitigation, like evade/dodge/armor, so of course you'll see CI chars with 9-10k energy shield. That doesn't mean they're much tankier.

Spec into the shield nodes, get as much evade/dodge as you can, which isn't too difficult with dexterity items, and try to maintain a life "buffer" around 5-6k. You should be fine.

But then again, i noticed the biggest improvements after speccing into the shield nodes. It was really impressive.

What shield would be good as life build?

Hey, thanks for the guide. Had great time playing with it. However probably going to change to something else. Life version felt great, but low damage was noticable. Then I switched to LL - damage is GREAT even without awakened gems and bottled faith.

But I started to die pretty much every other map when I hit t14. 6.8k ES and Rumi's not helping that much. Also failed A3 Sirus fight which was a surpise - I did this fight dozen times with different builds including A8.. hehe.

Not blaming anyone of course. If there is an obvious not-so-expensive way to buff survivability - would be glad to know.

P.S. I am also using Flesh and Stone for defence since I don't have Aspect craft yet, but not helping :)

Yes, the obvious buff is speccing into shield nodes.

I might sound like a broken record, but this is your main defense source - shield nodes- , not only an equiped shield.

Glancing blows + deflection anointment + good shield = invincible.

It's in the first post, actually.

-chance to block (25%)
-chance to Block Spell Damage (shaper ilvl.75)
- Resistance / Dexterity / Intelligence
- Socketed Gems have 15% reduced Mana Reservation - optional


Just relpace ES with life.

Thanks, might try it tomorrow or day after. Sounds not too hard to try at least.

BTW, is there a way to regen ES besides expensive watcher's?
