[3.21] Aegis Incinerate Elementalist - Tank with over 10mil Shaper DPS!
|
I hobo-ized it a bit and even without flasks and down to level 93, he still has around 6M DPS. I need to study it further later, my own is only 3.5M-ish.

" :) this is with swagger, the frenzies are not very reliably generated, few pages back I did some tests on bosses, but yeah, without flasks and frenzies it is still enough:) all this at the cost of defences, no soul of steel or curse reductions, now I'm just having fun, but it is still quite tough:) |

" If you post your hobo POB I may be able to see where the damage differences is for you. |
|
" I love it :) Have as much fun as possible. There is no one right way to play. A guy earlier posted about 8 videos of various end game fights and he was using swagger. I was actually surprised to see how often the Frenzy charges were up, as I had expected majority down time vs bosses. But it was the opposite, where he had at least 1 charge up the majority of the time. |

This is my current POB. I'm not using the thread of hope because I had resist capping problems. Now that my resists are OK, I tried to put it back in POB and I don't really gain much DPS or tankiness, so I didn't bother.
https://pastebin.com/sTSr0YCj Hmm, even if Swagger only gives 1 frenzy then it's still a 6% DPS increase for me. Maybe I should swap out my AshFrostStorm which is 6.5%... |

" I apologize as I spoke poorly. I meant for you to post the version of his POB where you saw 6m dps. If I saw that POB, I might be able to tell you what you left in that is causing the damage difference from yours. |

Still 6.95M DPS: https://pastebin.com/kfQLLKrE
Added flame dash and arcane surge level 1, removed custom modifiers. I believe this is a better way to simulate arcane surge. For example POB calculates arcane heroism as 3.7% DPS with this method, versus 1.1 with the custom modifiers. Took out unnatural instinct Unclicked all the flasks Removed essence surge (to get the level down to 94 where I am) Set frenzy charges to 1 Unclicked a curse cuz Whispers is expensive and gives me option to use another annoint @Brigtel - noticed you have unnerve on your gloves as well as the curse cluster jewel. Seems like this is where you can make up the lost chaos resist or add cast speed Edit: Searched on trade and it seems like Master of Fear is a small cluster now, sad trombone Last edited by Chubbypuppy#3011 on Nov 16, 2021, 10:43:17 AM

" right! This is what I was saying before, he is using legacy gear since he is in standard. Things like the powerful medium cluster don't exist in the league. Other things beyond the medium cluster to look for that may be different from yours that will work towards the damage difference: * He uses a +2 amulet * He uses Empower 4 * He uses a Lightning Golem (of which I am unsure what type of uptime this gets with no defenses in hard material), and that gives a bunch of cast speed * He uses a Divergent Incinerate * He uses a Circle of Anguish ring to buff HOA Last edited by AndyLovesHisBge#5265 on Nov 16, 2021, 10:53:15 AM

golem is on lvl20 cwdt, and maybe culling strike is another +10%

" Early in the league, Clay and I were theory crafting in game. He goes into his stash and pulls out a medium cluster that had BOTH Culling Strike and Unnerve on it. I thought he had just unlocked the future of the build and shortly after that, we realized the cluster jewel changes in 3.16 killed this hope quickly. :( |
