Theory craft for a chaos AAR

  • Does disintegration crit damage apply to the whole skill? If so ~ 200% crit modifier to AAR
  • 210% casting speed
  • not very happy with devotions, they are looking a bit sad - any help?
  • affix prefix seem reasonable but resist are very hard to fill without the right roll - might be stash only (or pain)
  • I’m open to gear suggestions, its a sketch

yes

why not use black flame?
why not using tainted power/0 conversion?

Sorry tainted was supposed to be took, the main hand is to convert devastation (but it does mean I’m eating slots for fire>chaos)

4

ah, that does make a whole lot more sense then :+1: , does devas make sense tho, without onslaught? :thinking:

5

This is a fair point and I’m not sure. I don’t know how one goes about proccing devotions and I’ve kind of like stacking an ability over a channel (but that’s been since fangs I guess) :grimacing:

6

well, if it’s just for devos, you have movement rune or even cold snap since you took raven
But if devas is a major part of the build seems like perhaps boosting it with Onslaught might then also be useful concept wise atleast, (ex black scorch helmet)

*i didn’t take Devas on my own since my brain borked and forgot something crucial about AAR, so i just ended up regular black scorch Evoker, while points then feeling already strapped even before chasing conversion items or cross modifiers :sweat_smile:
But i did done do take Devas on AAR in the past, it just often felt “meh” if just converted and no added omph (big CD etc), not sure if that notion has changed tho, but in that case here it then still has no modifiers, but if nothing else AAR onslaught stacks modifier might atleast boost it a little if Devas is worth.

Evoker, Level 100 (GD 1.3.0.8) - Grim Dawn Build Calculator - this was how i ended up, and it actually made me sad, but likely not for the reason(s) most people would think :sweat_smile:

Wait is it because it splits the beam and it’s annoying to aim?

I’m on mobile so I’ll take a good look in the morning, thank you for taking the time to share and go over it with me

nope, i’m fine with 2beam AAR unlike some others, i just really didn’t want to use that offhand :sweat_smile:

*also i don’t like ritual circle/wanted to use a different aar offhand after remembering AAR don’t dw, but then i had to change even more stuff

Ah fair, ye I looked into ‘dual wield’ before I realised I couldn’t.

Is fabric of reality racial worth that much?
Cool use of WW node hadn’t even considered

aeh, can’t say for certain “number crunching wise”, i think it might be, since it acts like a multiplier on other multipliers instead of just additive dmg
/you see a lot of meta builds take a bunch of racial elsewhere too (without the benefit of regular %dmg like sanctified bone component)

Appreciate your input; looking at the ‘numbers’ devastation realistically wasn’t doing as much as I thought it might and is simply an extra button to layer a single tick of AAR (before it crits and flat damage buffs - whoops).

Copied your pants and belt, swapped to Blade of the Black flame and took aurora - will have to rely on potion for damage reduction (seen everyone’s thoughts on potion/aurora haha in OP things)
