Pretty much the title. I tested recently this mh, based on aether FoI conduit.
can’t say damage is bad (it’s just ok), problem lies in the very nature of FoI in Crucible when you play a skill with very small cone so enemies standing around you just don’t get damaged at all.
the problem, tho, was (and is) sustain and hp.
I did 5 runs, 1 successful of 4:58 and then just 4 died 4 times in a row, unable to complete even wave 160. build just got rekt instantly. death vids go below.
the second thing i wanna say about is M. Consumption of Agrivix. And yes. This offhand is UGLY. Neither have I myself built rta foi or ct or seen anyone making them and succeeding. this is even more actual now hen magical phys is removed, fire retal is still non-existent and retal is mostly severely gutted even in its best specs, not saying about rta casters.
this offhand, tho, perfectly fits for both aether Foi and fire CT so i think it can deserve some love like:
- removing all retal bonuses and replacing +1 to Soldier with +1 to Arcanist/Inq;
- adding some HP to it;
- adding 4-6% LL to FoI and adding also some cast speed as you know … CT and FoI are both spam/channeling casts that require cast speed! this will make both aether foi and fire CT better a bit, for my opinion.
also if anyone tried aether foi or this offhand, share you opinion here!
