Elemental Buzzsaw & Static Strike - Solo the entire game, quickly and cheaply 1.1.0 update

I purchased and found some gear and decided to make this build.



Im at lvl 80 and counting on the respec to change builds, so once the patch hits someone please give some passive skill suggestions :D

Also will the gear be enough for at least 8k DPS?
Im planning on trying out a Taming and a Saffels Frame with this build later on.

If u follow the spec with that gear u will have 10k+ dps

Alright so with the new leagues starting Scion is not a starting option. I revamped the full build from a Shadow starting point which isn't quite as ideal, overall the differences are as follows:

Loss of 20% attack speed.
Loss of 30% Block and Stun recovery.
Loss of 30% Chance to avoid being Stunned.
Loss of 1% Life regen per second.
Loss of 20% Accuracy (meaningless).
Loss of +20 Dex.
Loss of 32% Max Health
Loss of +20 Str.

Gain of 18% Attack Speed from Shadow start.
Gain of 3% Movement Speed.
Gain of 24% Projectile Damage.
Gain of +50 to Dex.
Gain of +10 to Str.
Gain of 90% Evasion Rating

NET GAINS/LOSS from starting Shadow:
Loss of 2% Attack Speed
Loss of 30% Block and Stun recovery.
Loss of 30% Chance to avoid being Stunned.
Loss of 1% Life regen per second.
Loss of 20% Accuracy.
Loss of 32% Max Health.
Loss of +10 Str.
Gain of +30 Dex.
Gain of 3% Movement Speed.
Gain of 24% Projectile Damage.
Gain of 90% Evasion Rating.

Overall you do take a large hit to Max life and Stun but gain some dps and evade. The Max Life would be your target for the remaining points. Since you can't start scion, if those precious few hours are important to you, Shadow seems like it would be a decent alternative without sacrificing the entire build. Of course with the passive tree changes this may have been a pointless pursuit...But hey, better late than never!


Here is the finished shadow passive tree if you want to check my work:

Oh, the reason for my post was because I am playing with my brother duo from the time the patch is available. While I may do a Scion build later I won't be able to START Scion with him so I was looking at alternatives. Also, practicing my theory crafting for when the skill tree is available ;)

The Ele damage has been buffed, life nerfed and got knows what else. But the scion life wheel nerf gives us more points, so what would be a betterpriority? Ondars Guille? Dtatic Blows? Phase Acrobatics?

It's up. Get to theory crafting!

With the offline passive tree...

Did I miss anything? Still looks pretty good to me.

+300 to Strength
+170 to Dexterity
+180 to Intelligence
+450 to maximum Mana
+892 to maximum Life
Evasion Rating: 293

39% increased Projectile Damage
64% increased Attack Speed
24% increased Evasion Rating and Armour
+10% to all Elemental Resistances
6% increased Cast Speed
6% increased Movement Speed
70% increased effect of Auras you Cast
210% increased maximum Life
24% increased Radius of Auras
12% increased Physical Damage
41% reduced Mana Reserved
20% increased Projectile Speed
30% Chance to Dodge Attacks. 50% less Armour and Energy Shield
30% increased Block and Stun Recovery
30% Chance to Avoid being Stunned
1% of Life Regenerated per Second

Your hits can't be Evaded
Never deal Critical Strikes

24% increased Effect of Buffs on You
40% increased Elemental Damage with Weapons

+12% to Chaos Resistance
+2% to maximum Fire Resistance
+2% to maximum Cold Resistance
+2% to maximum Lightning Resistance

20% increased Accuracy Rating
6% additional chance to Dodge Attacks
+36% Energy Shield
+60% increased Melee Physical Damage
+340 Accuracy Rating
34% increased Evasion Rating

At this stage I see no reason you can't do the exact same spec from the scion start except also going up and grabbing haste + the life nodes near shadow as well as skipping the projectile damage nodes near ranger start.

We end up with a bit less proj damage, bit more attack speed, bit less life and a bonus Vaal pact if it seems good when tested.

This is what I plan ay lvl 80

+240 to Strength
+160 to Dexterity
+150 to Intelligence
+431 to maximum Mana
+854 to maximum Life
Evasion Rating: 290

+3 Maximum Power Charge
4% Additional Elemental Resistance per Endurance Charge

(dunno if link works :P)

If you guys have any advice or recommendations then plz suggest :)
Vaal Pact worth it? Granted its one point away(:P), but after nerf how effective will it be?
Any other way to improve life? As it is will dps be more or less than the original build?

Btw this is my gear

Pretty much my thoughts, and instead of rushing the whole life wheel with my level 82 im going to go for the health above the influence cluster instead. 5 Nodes for 32% life +50 strength instead of 5 nodes for 30% life. And i'm going to drop finess and the stun recovery under heart of oak.
