[1.0.6.1] Wrath of the Arcane - 2H Elemental Cadence Tactician, Gladiator farmer (10 minutes)

Yes, quoting myself:

with any gloves except M. Voidsteel + Discord + Deadly Momentum you deal nearly the same damage as with M. Voidsteel gauntlets. But Discord + Deadly Momentum costs 15 skill points more

Personally I can recommend the Myth. Light’s Defender Gauntlets: they have good attack speed, armor, % lightning damage and resistances.
Build will do nearly the same damage.

I did remove skill points from Fightning form, so would not cost 15 more skill points.

I think I have those gloves, thanks for the tip!

[veretragna]

Hope you’ll enjoy this build!

Yes about 6k?

The flat physical damage from DM and Cadence is about 300, which after Discord and elemental damage multipliers would be … around 6k damage too?

Oh well, I just have the non myth gloves … I guess build will still be decent anyway?

it’s around 9k but yeah if non myth should be fine. dps loss doesn’t break the build, I guess.

[veretragna]

Actually you won’t feel the damage loss. Damage should be the same but at the cost of skill points

[x1x1x1x2]

Well, yeah. I wasn’t able to read your post before I posted mine.

[malawiglenn]

I was of course originally thinking about going forcewave, but this one made me change my mind xD

[mad_lee]

I am really curious, can you feel the performance improvement from OA boost? Or is it more or less the same?

[veretragna]

I’ll test it today, leveling a fresh char now

[Dantar]

Dude, can you please say something about results of your testing?

I completely forgot to level this toon
Lvl 54 now. Maybe this weekend it will be ready to go

[veretragna]

Update.
I didn’t finish leveling of the fresh char, but I found a way to reset the highest damage dealt. So, finally I recorded a new video with fixes suggested by @mad_lee (cheers bro!)
Now this build performs in 9 minutes and is one of my fastest builds.

Yo, I am glad my suggestions actually turned out to be good

[Dantar]

Woah, thanks for the update, dude!
Looking forward to collect all necessary pieces to try it myself.
Only have chest and boots so far, but hope for the best

Thanks =)

Some questions, if you don’t mind:

1. Why you spent 2 points on Mehnir’s will?
2. Is Blitz is used for mobility only? If it is, maybe Blindside is not necessary?
3. Wold not it be better to take 1 point from Mehnir’s will and Blindside to put them to Biting Cold to make it 12/12?

Just want to know your thoughts behind that decisions, no offence =)

1. I just put remaining points into it.
2. Not just mobility, but some minor damage increase due to +5 targets. 138% WD to 8 targets is better than 3 targets.
3. I’d prefer to put some points into Menhir’s Will instead. It’s a good lifesaver. But this build is already very tight on skill points.

[Superfluff]

my I ask. Why on earth no DEadly momentum and why slightly gimp it with Voidsteel conversion?:eek: DM especially is missing out on a lot +Discord

Got it, thanks

That’s easy.
Voidsteels = 102k DPS.
Light’s Defender Gauntlets + Discord + max Deadly Momentum = 106k DPS.
As you can see, damage is the same but it costs 15 skill points more.
Didn’t test Voidsteels + Discord + Deadly Momentum because it seems inelegant to me: damage output should be better but half of Deadly Momentum will be converted to Chaos.
