Aether Albrecht’s Aether Ray Warlock

I decided to try Clairvoyant AAR Warlock and play it as a full piano and without any ADCtH on AAR… Yeah it is more of a meme build… For sustain the build uses Sigil of Consumption and Conduit that changes it to aether and also Fleshwarped Tome for more damage on AAR and damage reduction on Sigil of Consumption. Build also uses for defense Maiven’s Sphere for damage absorption and also Scales converted to aether for healing. Korvaak, Turtle and Ishtak from devos are also useful defensively. For AAR tanking is important and this build is able to do it. It also uses Mirror of Ereoctes and Nullfication when needed. Build also uses Doom Bolt converted to aether for additional damage. Even though it interrupts AAR it is a DPS boost. Total aether RR is up to -88 %. Build also uses crit damage to AAR - total is up to 106 % crit damage. Arcanist allows us to do a spirit dump and significant amount of damage comes from this. Build also has nice racial damage to undead, chtonics and aetherials. This build can clear SR 36-37 most of the time. And if you play well even SR 38.

This build is just a template. Customize it to your own liking. Crafting bonuses should be ideally to armor and stun resistance.

SR

In SR 34-35 I finished 5 out of 5 times. Don’t do anything stupid and you will be fine.

In SR 36-37 I finished 4 out of 5 times within the timer. If you die you will be on edge with the timer. You can tank bosses most of the time. Use mirror and nullification proactively.

In SR 38 I finished 3 out of 5 times within the timer. It needs more RR and damage here. Avoid nemeses in the first three chunks. Aether resistant nemeses are slower to kill.

Celestials

Callagadra can be killed without pharma very slowly if you attack her for a few seconds and then reposition. Stay away from sunder and tornadoes.

Very interesting.
I am also leveling a pure aether AAR, with doom bolt for another attack and no Sigil of Consumption. Actually got a few nice adjustments based on your build, so thanks for that.

You also listed a total -88% aether RR. -40% from Widow, -18% from Clairvoyant set on Curse of Frailty, and -10% from the Band ring, which comes to -68%. Where’s the rest of -20%?

Scales devo possibly?

while it’s mechanically not a -x% debuff the effect is still the same as minus 20/having another -20%

*quick guess/assumption since Maverick mentions scales in OP atleast, unsure if there is a missed proc somewhere

Yeah, it is Scales. The RR on this build could get some bump. Like more on CoF… And Scales are not the best for flat RR but it is the one that fits here due to the devo path… Would be good if that flat RR had some AoE. You can use Fleshwarped Tome up to SR 85 but for SR 90 you need Pulsing Shard.

I made some small changes to this build in devos resulting in more CC res and life at the cost of negligable loss in DPS and some energy regen.
