[1.0.3.1]Drain essence Cabalist - or how to beat cruci with channeling spell w/o buffs and banners

Maybe something that gave spirit was nerfed? It’s been three major patches since this build was made, you know.

It could be the %spirit roll on the gloves. I have 5%.

They should be replaced with kreig gloves anyway and spec 5 spirit or so

Check how much % spirit you have on girdle of stolen dreams, iirc I had max roll on it, if your roll is lover you have to put one pt more in spirit.

Krieg? Why Krieg? :confused:

yes…it was that, thanks…ahhh just when i thought i finally gathered the gear for a crucible build i get screwed by the rolls :frowning:

I also add my voice to the question : why kreig?

Cause with krieg+ Kriegboots you get 300% extra Aetehr dmg and 4 MoT

CS is at 196% without battlecry affix proc or vanguard

Fluff this is vitality DE build. I thought they made some changes to Krieg that’s why I asked.

Lol. I think i mixed shit up at work sry:D Ill delete previous comments

I’m too lazy to create a new thread so I’m resurrecting this one to ask my questions.

Currently I’m trying to make Dreadwalker work and it’s quite decent, especially for how easy it is to obtain nowadays (just transmute random blue set items) and how easy it is to play (today I finished SR55 by standing in one place and casting… not a record-breaking achievement but kinda important milestone for a SFF). Build just doesn’t die, unless it gets one-shoted (vs Fabius or Iron Maiden screen flashed red several times but health bar was always full…).
This is my character:

I’m wondering if I even need Bat. There’s no good way to proc it anyway, especially against single bosses (it procs 2-4 times per duration of SoC or CoF). DE is the only reliable skill to proc devotions in this build and I’m using it for Rattosh. I’m thinking of replacing it with Wendigo or even getting something else entirely (maybe Ulo for cleanse?).

Aside of that, I feel like Dreadwalker is like putting all eggs in one basket. Set bonus is also kinda a joke, aside of %damage - you can get conversion on other items and % health restored (on a cooldown) is just funny on DE build which can restore its entire health bar in a fraction of a second… So I’m thinking of replacing it with Abyssal Mask, Chillwhisper Dagger, Skull of Gul’Amash and some fitting chestpiece (maybe Heart of Yugol). This change would mean a lot less raw damage but stronger SoC, more armor, extra -10% RR and a lot of crit damage for DE (and this skill is already kinda carried by its crits). I’m debating if it’s worth it. Morguul’s Mortality is another choice for a weapon with even less damage but another -10% RR and damaging proc.
