This is my first build post so go easy on me, credit to @Nandi for providing the base build that I worked on and to @malawiglenn for explaining how damage conversion works.
Make no mistake of thinking that killing a celestial is an easy task ( well, maybe Mogroden is ) even if you’re using these set ups, it will still depend on your piloting skills and knowledge of the enemy to effectively slay them. What I am presenting you is the possibility.
If i can get something with poison and acid resistance, that would be great, also pierce resistance is a must, bleeding resistance, yes ( since the they already nerfed bloody crystal ) and most important of all the stun resistance, ( god help you if you rolled Valdaran and Iron Mainden and they go after you at the same time in higher SR).
Im sorry im not really sure how many affixes are there, but ideally i would like to have everything i mentioned above, the damage roll is also nice, but not a priority.
what you could do is to post a version with just plain stoneplate greaves and no augments in armor, then one can see better what resistances and stats needs to be covered.
But don’t you have recipe for bloodied crystals? They are BiS for rings. Also I prefer Bat vs Giant’s blood, but is your desicion. Nice option is 2 parts of Krieg set, gloves+boots.
I do have the receipe for bloodied crystal, its just that I rolled bleeding resistance from conduit so i opted for topaz, if I got piercing resistance maybe i’ll go for bloodied.
I’ve been using bat for the longest time. I changed it when i realized that i will not be using its full healing potential if Im not binding it to AAR. Binding bat to ravenous earth is not very efficient as well for healing and dps.
Giants blood provides more utility for both sustain and recovery also since I bind it to arcane will, some sort of circuit breaker.
No amount of life steal will save you from DoT if you’re trying do disengage, recover and kite while fighting a Celestial. Giant’s blood can.
I’ve been using krieg’s boots before i rolled that stoneplate greaves and was able to beat Mogroden and Ravager just fine ( although a bit harder and before the arcanist buff ), got Callagadra around 35% hp, then my pc crashed so i dont know if it really can. Haven’t tried crate pre boots and buff so i dont know either.
Yes, i’ve considered that, but fangs needed to hit the enemy first so it can heal you ( correct me if im wrong ).
With a lot of kiting and running involved , its often that celestials wont be standing in an area where fangs and ravenous earth can hit them thus wasting its healing potential.
The RR on the offhand is really nice in your build but the damage seems abit lower than Feshwarped due to the conversion (not to mention conversion on fang too).
ehehehe, what i didnt show here is how many times I died trying, especially to Callagadra and Crate ( crate was especially tricky ) t. I really enjoyed figuring out the boss pattern and countering their annoying mechanics ( I’m looking at you crate )
Since I’m using a full clairvoyant set the conversion from the tome will be useless ( or at least not as effective ), as was explained to me, you cant double dip on damage conversion.
The head gear had already converted lighting damage to vitality damage, so vitality damage can no longer be converted to any form of damage, is that correct @malawiglenn ?
Also, the skill interruption resistance is really nice plus the the mythical codex of lies got buffed last 2 patches, so yeah.
