[0.2] Chayula - Nebuloch - Shield Charge - Resonating Shield - POISON. T4 Pinnacle Viable

Wanted to give Acolyte of Chayula a go. Decided I wanted to hit REALLY BIG MASSIVE poisons rather than many poison stacks.

One way I figured this would work was Nebuloch with shield charge. These 2 combined with Chayula's reality rending (which can proc all 3 at once) = 1 MASSIVE POISON.

You are at the mercy of Endurance charges, as Nebuloch needs atleast 1 to crit, but when you get it it feels good to charge in :).

STATS




POB/MAXROLL

(The stats/numbers are wrong. Don't pay attention to any of the numbers on the left)

Pob/Maxroll show that I have 685 crit multi when I have 450. So just ignore the numbers for now

Maxroll





GEAR


You need to have at least:

205 strength
86 intelligence
86 dexterity
43 chaos resistance (which will be doubled to give you 86 chaos res)
95% chance to poison (from jewels)
Around 350 accuracy on at least 1 piece of gear


BELT



Ryslatha's Coil. You want a decent roll with 2 or more charms.



CHEST



Falconer's Jacket with atleast 40 spirit


GLOVES



Plaguefinder with 2 sockets



WEAPON



Nebuloch with 2 sockets. THE MODS ON NEBULOCH DO NOT MATTER as they are local. The only mod that matters is the "attacks consume...". Everything else doesn't matter as long as it has 2 sockets.



SHIELD



Shiled with at least 975 armor or higher and 40% block chance.


UNIQE_JEWELS



The only node you need is Wide Barrier. The other one is up to you. I would lean more towards another defensive node.



This jewel was surprisingly expensive. I was not expecting that. If you can't afford +3 then go for +2 or +1. If you can't afford that either then a rare jewel (below) will be better.


RARE_JEWELS



3 rare jewels with

Chance to poison
Magnitude of poison you inflict
Magnitude of damaging ailments you inflict with critical hits

The chance to poison mod needs to be high on all 3. You need minimum of 95% chance to poison



AMULET - +3 TO MELEE SKILLS

BOOTS - 35 MOVEMENT SPEED (or 30)

Fill the rest out with life and stats. STRENGHT is the most important stat.



STORY_CHOICES/ASCENDENCY

Stun threshold - Chaos resistance

1 - Reality Rending
2/3 - Chayula's Gift or Waking Dream (up to you)
4 - Lucid Dreaming



**HOW BUILD WORKS**

Nebuloch requires at least 1 endurance charge to guarantee a crit for attacks. This is a global mod so it works with attacks in general. Shield charge and Resonating shield do not use mods that are local to ur weapon. So that mod on nebuloch being global is very important.

How do we generate endurance charges? Easy. Resonating shield breaks enemy armor by default. Linking it to break endurance and corrosion will break enemy armor fast with a 40% chance to give you an endurance charge.

Shield charge is linked to Exploit weakness. Which consumes broken armour to deal 40% more dmg. You break armour with Resonating shield and once their armor is broken you go back give yourself enough space for momentum to proc and charge in.


DO NOT HOLD DOWN RESONATING SHIELD WHEN MAPPING

You want to Tap - Release - Tap - Release. The reason for this is Magma Barrier. You need to constantly Tap - Release to proc Magma Barrier. This helps generate Endurance charges when mapping for better clear.


USE RESONATING SHIELD AND SHIELD CHARGE FOR MAPPING

You need to watch your stun meter. Try not to use Resonating shield ALL the time. Shield Charging into a pack to apply poison, which will spread, is also good as well.
You'll get better and keeping ur heavy stun meter low as you play the build but it is something you have to be aware of.


DPS ENDGAME ROTATION

You need to swap out Bursting Plague for Inhibitor from Resonating shield when doing bosses. Inhibitor prevent Resonation shield from spending endurance charges as you need them for Shield Charge.

1 - Run up to boss, cast Despair, and Enduring Cry
2 - Resonating shield until armour breaks
3 - Give yourself a running start for momentum to proc on Shield Charge

Momentum has a visual que when it procs so you need to know the distance required. It's an easy rotation and I show it in my boss vids.

If you have any further questions feel free to ask. Enjoy
