Would it be bad if we could fit an Empower lvl 2 (or even better 3) inside it?

It would be a nice DPS increase, wouldn't it?


Empower 2 wouldn't be worth it, 3 or 4 - now we're talking though you'll have to shuffle some stuff around to make that work out.


What stuff should we shuffle to make it work? I guess lvl 21 Reduced mana gems are not enough, and if my maths are correct getting the 5% mana reservation node down RT neither.

Mh, am I doing anything wrong?

Started this build and skilled according to the lvl guide in the first post. Im lvl ~50 atm and wanted to switch so my ele foil (nth special, but close to 2aps and 100 ele dps) since I now can run all 3 dmg auras.

My "Problem":
My Tooltip dps crashes when Im switching over.

With Rigvalds charge + Anger + Wrath + Hatred I do about 1,4k dps
With my foild + Anger + Wrath + Haste its just ~900 dps

When does the dmg "boost" kicks in? Do I need to wait for Alphas / max lvl auras (atm lvl 12) to switch from my phys dmg setup to ele dmg?



Once your auras like level 14, foil would be better. If I were you, I'd just play with the foil, can't stand 2h phys anymore :)

To do this, I was mostly thinking of a softcore setup where using a Prism Guardian was viable. You can't really run Empowered Auras like this unless you are low-life. I'd have to take out the two purities and then turn into a fully dps aura setup however that may be v.risky vs reflect.

what do you think about Hybrid armor pieces in a Coil setup?

Do they improve survivability A LOT, or...?

In Invasion, my mate ran Grace and picked up armour from each slot - it was very effective but more a HC strategy, the standard build does well enough in Ambush imho.

Thanks :)
Will be there soon and try it again.

I do like phys st and on the plus side: I survive more. A lot.
Point being, that Im an idiot ;)
Im using a 6l chest quite some time now and with all gems linked the mana cost of ST is quite high. No Problem with BM though - except of the fact, that I kill myself if I cast it too much and a high speed foil doesnt help preventing that :D


/I reached lvl14 on my auras and you are right: Now the ele setup deals more dmg :)
Foil + 3 dmg auras = ~2,3k dmg
Terminus est + 2 dmg auras and hatred = ~2k

Thanks for your help!

Had this foil drop last night and was pretty stoked to test it out. Sadly, when I equipped it my DPS dropped by 400 :(

Still stuck with my 2.09 I picked up for 3 chaos forever ago :(

Spoiler
Can i get some suggestions on which foil, shield i should use?





thanks!

2.13 seems reasonable. Highest life roll on the 2nd shield will make up for incredibly low eva but you should look for better one asap.
