Intorduction.
Ladys and Gentermens =) I`m proud to present you aether Spellbinder, focused around CDR and immortality. This build can clear gladiator on 10x multiplier all waves with extraspawn with 19 minutes average cleartime wave 100-150.
Build explanation
Grimtools https://www.grimtools.com/calc/DV9qkWWV Fastest clearing grimtools
I`m using transmuted CT, Devastation, and Bone harvest as main source of dmg, Soul syphon provide OA reduction, sustain and additional dmg, Ravenous earth is used as AoE debuff and Fiend proc.
For defence we have Opie mirior with 11.6 second recharge ,23% DMG absorbtion from MSoP, 56% from mark of torment and 27% reduced dmg from Decay. Miror and MoT can be chaincasted with 100% uptime of one of them. So if our spellbinder isnt unvulnerable due to miror couldow she still take only ~24% of all incoming dmg, not counting resistances and armor . On top of it we have ADTCH that replenisg our lifepool in one CT cast. And Goul proc as cirquit-breacker.
Itemisation
The build require 42%CDR to work, so 4% from main hand, 7% CDR from hat and 19% CDR from offhand is mandatory.
Im using 29%conversion Reaper of the accursed as offhand. Other choises are : Codex of lies, Tome of arcane wastes, Cataclyzm eye. Make sure you have 19% CDR on offhand .
Relic slot is flexible. Mogdrogen is BiS, but Uroboruuks is aslo realy good. Impurity is somewhat better dmg-wise, but lack survivability. Agrivix malice is also a good option, but inferior to necro relics. Haunt offer extra punch, but we have too much butons to press alredy. Ethernity help with unvulnerability rotation, but i dont need it.
Gloves can be changed to Souls touch . Souls touch is better dmg wise, but lack health and resists.
Rings are PITA to farm and we need maxed rolls. Ive used Band of Ethernal haunt+ golus before, but Magelord are BiS. Good luck finding them with 30% conversion. Crete, plz, give us recipe to craft them, blue jewelry droprate is MMO level retarded
Belt can roll up to 60% Fire to aether conversion! With maxed rolls from rings, offhand and belt we can convert 96% of fire dmg to aether.
6.Crucible in 1.0.6
Well, after 1.0.6 buffs crucible is easy. Fully buffed Pre 150 is a joke, you can do it with glass setup semi-afk under 17 minutes. I don’t think that tanky setup is justified anymore - with current clear-speed, ADCtH and circuit breaker you can farm even 150-170 for greens on HC with minimum concentration.
I have an aether spellbinder in the works and noticed chaining MoT and Mirror with Aeon’s; never thought to use Star Pact purely for the CDR.
I saw the Eternity relic in Grim Tools which has a mini-Aeons on crit; would that be an alternative to ease up the CDR requirement or would it be it too unreliable?
Hi! I was looking for an aether-based caster build utilizing one of the new classes. Your build is looking exactly as i want (no AAR included), but it also looks like it cannot be leveled though normal game (basically i need to level in different build?) and require the exact (or very similar) items? Or it could?
arcanist, use OFF flash for aoe that carry you trough normal.
Usually I max OFF, and along the way CT and necro spectral.
Then rush to devastation and star pact
you then should be around L45/50.
add some points for skills u want need along the way, 1 or a couple of points.
Start with Viper, then EEl, Hawk, Giant, Widow, Manticore.
I am total Newbie.
I want to find how do you level up with this build??
What build/skills should I use before getting all the required items?
Is it easier to level up with arcanist? or Nectro?
You can start as arcanist or necro, it dosent matter that much. Arcanist is somewhat faster, whild necro is safier. For arcanist level with CT+OFF+defastation. For Necro level with ravenous earth+soul siphon.
