You are missing -30% Aether RR.
There is nothing that Arcanist gives outside of 25% crit and inquis as Deadly aim with CDR itmes.
Overall Apostate is boss for Aether DE
How to level this guy before 94?
Is it strong enough before Dreadwalkerās Grace?
I recommend a Spectral shield Asap if you want to play DE from scratch. Then move to Siphon to nuke mobs
Bingo.
/bingochars
Thanks a lot!
So Mirror, CDR, reduce energy cost and devastation donāt add anything? :eek:
Or did you not mention Devastation because of Taco Bell Earth?
You forgot cast speed, free 30% spirit and Maiven :roll: And Arcanist has better gear choise that Apostate.
Starting to smell like Hymenās Chosen up in hereā¦
Might as well make Devastation build then and drop DE. JoV already posted one. As for mirror+CDR, iād hope not to need it if all my main abilities life steal like crazy
If you want to play DE build through and through then highest Damage is apostate. Also skillpoint spread. If you focus on SS and DE fully you will have mediocre devastation with medicore DE:(
Havenāt gotten around to it but i will certainly make the apostate happen. Uroborruk helm and hex launcher have some pretty sick modifiers
Agreed on free spirit and CS but not on Maiven
Donāt get me wrong, I use it on all arcanists I just hate that skill with a passion. The only build where I donāt mind using it is on my CT Battlemage as I have it at Max Ultimate Rank. Basically Maiven is the skill I hate the most in this entire game surpassing Cadence
Didnāt mean to point at a Meteor build. You can use only one devastation and still be fine
If we overlook Devastation, Spellbinder looks better I say this as most of the gear seems to be tailored more towards Spellbinder than Apostate and as Ptirodaktill mentioned we have Maiven, Free Spirit and Cast Speed. Energy management would be much better with Spellbinder. And thereās Eternity and CDR for Spellbinder
Iām not saying itās not good utility wise. just not dmg wise. iāll get the cast speed.
30% spirit is a bit generous to say with full uroboruuk. I only care to meet requirements
and as for maiven, again, crazy life steal. and % total dmg penaly is the last thing De need. By this logic any class adds positive stuff to Aether DE really
Thats main difference between aether and vitality DE, w/o ratosh and with lesser base ADCTH its like night and day when you face some more or less serious threat like nemesis. You can compensate by using same gloves like this build is using to improve ADCTH situation a bit, but again its not even close. Situation only can be really improved by using hount relic.
Not really, I donāt think anything outside Apostate or Spellbinder would be good for Aether DE
I am not saying Apostate is bad, heck itād be pretty strong but from a QoL pov Arcanist seems like a much better secondary mastery.
Emphasis on āseems likeā as Iām arguing w/o trying stuff due to lacking gear 
And ADCtH is fine and all but Mirror +Eternity + CDR should be tankier
I wanted to get Rattosh on my transmuted DE but as it already had itās dick cut off through removal of ADCtH and lacking actual gear support I couldnāt afford to drop leviathan
Idk man for me as far as DE goes Spellbinder is poor manās apostate. Good/functional but not quite tippy top:D
@JoV. Aether Apostate doesnāt have way lesser base life steal. Gravechill has that problem.
I was assuming you are not going to use vitality based gloves (8% ADCTH, and vitality based medal 4% ADCTH), Uroburuk effigy is giving you only 5%, or Im missing something?
I think he meant w/o Rattosh life steal would be relatively weaker. Gravechill doesnāt have āless adcthā it has āno adcthā. I had to resort to using Ravagerās Amulet and Rift Gloves for ADCtH
with all the rr apostate has, wouldnāt it be enough damage turned to hp?
well anyway, we can talk tiāll end of times w/o proper testing:D
Well that setup doesnāt have significantly more aether rr than cabalist has vitality and when facing enemies with ~80-90% life leach resistance -8% means a loot.
Also there is conversion issue, you wont be able to convert all vitality to aether (at least with full set) and even if you manage to do it you are wasting a loot of vitality decay dmg.
But dont get me wrong aether spelbinder or apostate could work nicely Im just questioning its chances to finish no buffs and banners gladiator cruci. With buffs and banners it would surely be possible, but where is fun in that, even half naked builds can do that
Well, DE has undergone a lot of changes since testing phase. Weāll see. i hope they add more than just that hex gun with nice mod and conversionā¦Uroboruuk with a gunā¦:eek: Really?
Imho they should add to some weapon or uroburuk set piece vitality to aether conversion it would drastically improve situation. Also -% life leach and ADCTH in general shouldnt be reserved mostly for vitality damage based builds (not counting few items/components like hount or seal of blades here).
