Looking for a phantasmal blades builld for b31, pretty lost in what i would do for devotion and passive allocation on one
Acid spray is now useless
Im using Dryad on PB,
Only way i manage to kill Ultimate Fabius on my self found PB frenetic thrower
(takes ton of regen consumables tho)
Use all legendaries that boost Nether edge and Heart striker (the ring and the speaker for the dead offhand). Reaching 21-22/12 nether Edge and 20+ heart striker is the only way to achieve some damage (nowhere near close as before ofc). +2 to nether edge is better than 100% cold or chaos damage easily.
Best weapon might be a rare dagger with +2 to nether edge occultist prefix, but that’s almost impossible to roll.
You also want to keep crafting your relic (slaughter or nemesis) until you get +nether edge, +PB or +heart striker completion bonus. (still using slaughter myself, had no luck with nemesis blueprint)
The Olexra’s legendary cold wand is a decent weap, as most of the dmg is cold + u get -50% cold resist from aura ( for Fabius and Iron maiden farm i swap to an empowered Lifebinder)
I play without Maiven’s sphere of protection, it was nerfed too much and I manage to kill Fabius without it.
Still not sure about which gloves to use though, since they destroyed zealot’s.
I’m having real problems with OA tho. Only 2400… thinknig of dropping crit alltogether
Hope these bits help
Spellbreaker PB has been nerfed hard. Both damage and survivability.
I’d like to try a trickster vitality and bleeding PB build now that the energy cost has been lowered a bit. It didn’t work well before. Has anyone tried one now?
More HP and potential healing from wendigo totem, but no source of OA so probably no good.
The other option is a witch hunter, occultist now has some offensive ability and some synergy with phantasmal blades.
Capping cast speed shouldn’t be too difficult without arcanist and maivens doesn’t look very attractive anymore. Arcanist might still be the best option though.
I was thinking of something along these lines as my next hardcore character:

Witch hunter focused on vitality and chaos damage.
Do you mind posting your character sheet and grimcalc. I am also running a frenetic throw spellbreaker, just finished elite.
Here’s my build: (lv 73 currently) http://grimcalc.com/build/1JbUqN
Acid spray got a huge nerf, but the damage from it is still there. What other devotions do you choose to replace?
Why is it useless, it reduces their resist by a flat amount.
it used to be -60% resist…
now it sucks
dryad better
u can only stack one -x res in all ur devotion/procs/gear
if u are smart you already have it elsewhere and you dont need a crappy devotion skill to get it.
It was only good because of that -60%
Acid spray used to lower their resists by a percent. It was better against mobs with super high resists, but the new version is better against mobs with moderate resists or lower. It’s not all that bad, though it may not be the best bet for the build, it’s not exactly crappy either.
except any build for ultimate already has an easy way to get -n% and flat redux. the only hard one to get is % reduced, only the augment gives 10% chance to redux 30%.
current acid spray is a complete waste on non poison builds for endgame
What easy ways do you have? I know of none that reduce all resistance types, which given how spread out PB is on damage types is nice, that has an AE radius that doesn’t require you to stop casting to use. Given that PB casts 5 blades several times a second, that 10% application chance is not an issue.
It’s not completely useless.
