This is a Tanky Tactician that using Elemental to Physical Conversion + Internal Trauma DoTs + Crit Damage
Speaking of Elemental to Physical Conversion, in this build we’ll have Physical Light of Empyrion, Physical IT Storm Box of Elgoloth, Physical Inqusitor Seal, Physical Arcane Empowerment, Physical IT Lightning Bolt
Conversion is using Weapon / Gear
This was the first time I use Physical Light of Empyrion on a Physical Commando Build (I should have updated this Build)
When AoM released, Crate made significant change that really support this Constellation for Physical Builds (Thanks again Crate)
Internal Trauma Crit Damage is supported with High OA + DA Shred, So there’s a chance We’ll see Red Crit Numbers
High OA :
Deadly Aim will gives us around 19% OA + Crit Damage
Judicator’s Seal procs : 8% OA + Flat OA on Closed Ring
Peerless Eye of Beronath : Flat OA + Crit Damage
Beronath, Reforged : Flat OA + Crit Damage + Total Speed
Badge of Mastery (BoM) : 4% OA + Flat OA on Procs
Chausses of Barbaros : Flat OA
Platemail of Octavius : Flat OA
Thundertouch Bracers : Flat OA
Field Command : Flat OA
Fighting Spirit : Flat OA
Oleron’s Rage : 12% OA
DA Shred :
Storm Box of Elgoloth : -160 DA (25/16)
Crit Damage :
Peerless Eye of Beronath
Beronath, Reforged
Reforged Chains of Oleron
Arcane Empowerment
Deadly Aim
Rending Force
Panther
All of that will give us around 3.7K OA + 76% Crit Damage when active
We have good enough Internal Trauma DoTs from Skills and Gear :
Octavius Set gives a lot of Internal Trauma Bonus
Storm Box of Elgoloth : Lightning --> Physical, and Electrocute --> Internal Trauma
Internal Trauma (Soldier Skills) - like it’s name - also a Good Source of IT
Doom Force (Relic Skills) - One of our IT DoTs Dealer
Lightning Bolt (Gloves Procs) also has Electrocute that will be converted to IT
Also all of that will be supported with Physical RR from :
Break Morale (16/12) : 34 Flat Physical RR
Open Hand of Mercy : 10% RR
Assassin’s Mark : 32% Physical RR
This Build make use of Soldier and Devotion skills for Tankiness
All Resistances are Overcapped (Over Maximum)
We have good enough Damage Absorption, Armor, Shield Block, Health, and Health Regen --> Coffee Break with Kubacabra, --> Facetank Alexander Meteor
Our Toon can get around 3.4K DA with Procs active, and around 3K DA without Active Procs
-Lightning Tether is a stronger source of Electrocute meaning it would give you more IT damage through beronath converison
-Clean Sweep is strong, not sure how it will do with low point investment
-Boots give you an extra IT source and DA (not necessary tbh)
Hmm, nice Boots Chthon, you always have good subtitutes gear
Lightning Tether, yup it will give more IT conversion, but for only 2s
I choose maxing Storm Box for it’s DA Shred + AoE (You already know, it’s mainly for Bosses Fight)
This is why I suggested Tether to you. While DA shred indeed is very good no doubt but Tether is extremely potent against bosses.
Tether strikes three times per tick which makes it good for single target
Would it make sense to run this build with Mythical Reign of Ice and Fire, or Elemental Balance ring set?
You would have physical meteors, from Beronath conversion.
Elemental Balance: 15% weapon damage and Flat Cold and Fire dmg, converted to Physical.
Mythical Reign of Ice and Fire:
33% chance of Fire and Frostburn DoT converts to IT
Flat Cold and Fire Meteors converts to Physical dmg
Mythical Reign of Ice and Fire also only takes up one ring slot, has %OA, %Crit dmg, +2 Artifact Handling.
We don’t get 15% weapon damage though.
I was actually thinking Earth Shatters, for da, phys/pierce/bleed res, petrify res and a decent IT mini-nuke since you are relying on cd-based IT skills in your build.
