I was tempted by lethal pride, overlooked that it gives me armor, rolled on Melee Damage - does it not concern us? Looking for something else?

I got two "5% chance to deal double damage" mods from Lethal Pride. The idea was to freeze T16 metamorphs with the double damage. But I still can't consistently freeze them, so I'm not sure if it's worth it.

Is there a big different between Gain 9% of Maximum Life as Extra Maximum Energy Shield and 10% one ? XD


For me the difference is 94 ES. It's not small, but not the end of the world, either.

I use 8% so far.

If you want me to craft the 10% mod, whisper me in game.
I tried the cyclone ball lightning build designed by you last league and thought that was the best build I have ever played.
I was wrong since you've made another masterpiece out of this game omg I love this build sooooo much!
Thank you mate!!
loving this build.
Made some changes with the thread of hope. Working good so far, just POB dont know yet how to handle it...XD

Just one question. In game, skill description shows as 3.2 Cast per second, saw all you guys saying 6 CPS. Is that right? its the reason you`ve said the animation only shows one?

Thank you.

PS.: Be carefull with the sextant map mod, "Players and monsters Take #% increased physical damage"....Forgot that this would count for the scold's damage

Have a question here, May i know if I want to self craft the chest armor, do you have any suggestion or guide? hope that does not bother since im just new to this game from last league, thanks!
Im interested in this build since Im using some same items from my Heiro self-cast Ice Nova and wondering if I could just transfer them to this build. Is it doable to use Farruls on this build? Thanks!

Its not a good Armor for this build, Lots of armor and no ES....maybe it`ll work with Doedre's Malevolence gloves....but, as N0esy said, its better to buy a 5 links "offering boost" ES based.

Are you sure you selected ice nova in the skill description? Are you checking it while casting ice nova in your hideout? You reach 6-7 casts per second after consuming a lot of corpses.

There are several options, but none of them are guaranteed methods.

Option 1.
1) Buy a 6-linked body armour with ilvl 86+ and no influence. (idealy vaal regalia)
2) Chaos spam or essence spam until you hit good mods (life, ES, resists). You need 4-mod item (2 prefixes and 2 suffixes). If the item has more than 4, use annul.
3) Block the last prefix by bench crafting (use a cheap one) and slam hunter's exalted orb. The chance of getting the offering effect by the slam is 33%.

Instead of buying 6-linked body armour, you can look for a body armour which already has good mods (most likely the incursion mod). In this case you don't have to chaos spam, but you need to 6-link it after a successful hunter slam. The armour should have ilvl 80+, otherwise it cannot roll the T1 offering mod on the slam.


Option 2.
1) Same as option 1.
2) Use hunter's exalted orb on it to give the hunter influence.
3) alt/regal until you hit the offering effect + life roll, then multimod.

Option 3.
1) Same as option 1 (armour A).
2) Make it rare with 3 prefixes and 1 or 2 suffixes.
3) Use Hunter's exalted orb. If you hit the T1 offering mod, go to No.5. Otherwise go to No.4.
4) Use orb of scouring and alt spam until you hit T1 offering effect. The armour can be magic or rare.
5) Buy a body armour with an influence other than hunter (armour B). Choose the one with a single influene-specific mod that you are interested (physical explosion from crusader, frenzy charge on hit from redeemer, spells have 1-1.5% chance to crit from shaper, etc.).
6) Use awakener's orb on armour B, followed by armour A. By doing this, the created item always have the two influenced mod (offering + the one you chose). Of course, other mods on the item are completely random, so the resulting item is, in most cases, garbage.

No, even tabula is better. The armour it gives reduces the self-damage and destroys this build.

1. Use Diamond flask, it's 30% more damage. Much better than The Wise oak etc.
2. I would also recommend Jade flask, you get a lot of evade chance from a single flask.
3. Look for a body chest with the T1 offering effect.
4. Get more chaos resist. You have almost no resists from your rings, which is why you have a low chaos resist.

Hi NOesy, thanks very much for your help and will give it a try.
1 more thing is that i've got a watchstone with life gained on hit for vitality + es gain on hit for discipline, what do you think if i give up grace and grab vitality+discipline together and just use vaal grace for save button?
plus will not go down to evation points and grab more life points, what do you think of this route? At T10 seems no problem at all but not sure is it higher tier bosses one shot everything so you get a lot of evation for that.
Thanks again!
