Witch - [3.16 - RETIRING BUILD] VD Brands: S-Tier Bosser, A-Tier Map! -- MURDERED BY GGG_INTERN SOMEWHERE-- - Forum

Hi, how do you propose I level a new char? arcanist brand kinda sucks early...so far I'm 50 dealing zdps (I got most of the gear setup for when I reach 70), just need to get there	Posted by tulakhord#0734 on Aug 31, 2021, 1:16:58 PM Quote this Post
OP recommends anything you’re comfortable with and then respeccing at level 90 when you have gathered the necessary gear.	Posted by IceColdPorkSoda#4143 on Aug 31, 2021, 1:22:11 PM Quote this Post
Get an arakaali fang at 53 put melee splash minion damage withering touch in it. Grab two worm flasks and that will get you to 85 in a hurry.	Posted by hipposcottamus#3083 on Aug 31, 2021, 1:23:06 PM Quote this Post

Should I risk it and try to slam life and craft more area of effect, or block life and just roll an exalt from bestiary. In my point of view, for this build, this helm does not need crit mod. (but crit mod adds such an high value on the helm if you wanna sell it for some reason) The build has so high damage and very tanky! But I didn't like map clearing with it. So slow for my taste. I am using my elehit for the clear and do the hard contents with this one. I should mention that I don't have an explody chest. I have tried it with an explody chest, it didn't improve much for me. The packs did die in nearly exactly same time. Big thanks @primaeva for sharing such a build! Holy crap, that Strength roll is INSANE D: Super high value. It definitely does not need crit mod, ahaha, not with Brittle. Ah, I think explodey chests only really make a difference once you start really juicing stuff (multiple Sextants, 100% Deli, 40% pack size etc) because then the stuff can really chain. Helps a lot in Logbooks too! :D I'm glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully we see some buffs to this 0.0% skill in 3.16 and beyond. I'll test fully juiced maps with my new explody chest (I wish it had a life roll tho)	Posted by arda820#4608 on Aug 31, 2021, 2:59:31 PM Quote this Post

Mapping is a brezze and survival in maps is goood. Map bosses are also easy but they take some time, at least more than i thought. Tried the maven invitation with the shaper guardians and i got "rolled" :^) Currently i think i could buy a explo / frenzy chest but i don't know how big a diff it will make. Any suggestions? Hey mate, does your strength equal to your Intelligence??

Would you ever consider going back to the roots of Incinerate-CWC-Infused Channelling - (other stuff) here, or is Fortify + Cheap Phasing too much to give up? I know damage isn't lacking but damn with so much cast speed Incinerate feels great. 💥💫BB Unloader 1000% AoE 70m DPS🗡️🔪🔫: view-thread/3466787 FlickerCoC Ice Nova / Spear Assassin: view-thread/3225536 🔨⚡CWC Lightning Conduit Mjolner Trickster: view-thread/3300148 VD Arcanist Brand Necro: view-thread/2911667	Posted by primaeva#0673 on Aug 31, 2021, 3:52:38 PM Quote this Post
I’ll probably test both when I get my aegis aurora setup together. If GGG takes fortify away from casters in 3.16 like Chris Wilson talked about then the decision is made for us. Can always get fortify through AG with kingmaker if you really want it. I’ll probably need the extra dps from incinerate in my aegis aurora build anyways since I’ll be dropping leadership’s price for EO.

Hello ! thanks a lot for your work , your build seems amazing and i'm a VD lover since Zerphi builds. But unfortunatly, your build is not working like inteted for me, maybe i made some mistakes, but i dont see it. i have your "12ex" build version (with duskdawn and fenumus boots) but you said that with the 5 ex version you can achieve "T16 juiced", but with the 12 ex version (with awakened spell cascade and spider aspect) killing a guardian take like 3 min. can somone check my char (BackToMyLovingVD on my profile) to check if i made a big mistake ? Next league if you re=use this char, can you make a video with your "5ex" build? i'm really curious! thank you very much!

Do you have leadership’s price with your two highest attributes equal to each other? If you don’t the damage won’t feel great.	Posted by IceColdPorkSoda#4143 on Aug 31, 2021, 5:31:35 PM Quote this Post
