Hello! Was hoping someone could give me some endgame gear tips for my Vit/Chaos based Phantasmal Blade-slinging Witch Hunter. Build is very straight forward, here’s a link: http://grimcalc.com/build/9IPwjz, skill/devotion tips also appreciated.
Current gear is as follows.
Wep: Fang of Ch’thon
Offhand: Tome of the Arcane Wastes
Head: Elite Legion Spellbearer
Shoulders: Wildblood Mantle
Chest: Random green garbage
Hands: Voidsteel Gauntlets
Belt: Empowered Chthonian Thread Sash
Legs: Random green garbage
Boots: Magelord’s Greaves
Amulet: Thread of Mortality
Rings: Sigil of the Depraved & Signet of the Fallen
Relic: Solael’s Decimation
Medal: Badge of Mastery
Currently I’m approaching Loghorrean on Ultimate without much difficulty really, kill speed is decent and some kiting may be required for large physical mobs. Just wondering what I could do to get stronger.
For the chest, a Devil’s Cage Hauberk could be nice as it deals chaos damage and debuffs chaos and vitality resistances. A Codex of Lies could be nice to reduce further these resistances, but honestly you would deal more damage just by taking any focus having +%casting speed. What about a Blood Orb or Ch’thon?
The weapon is a gun, but I guess you would end up never firing it, as you would be spamming PhataBlades all the way.
On a side note, I saw you maxed Solael’s witchfire and Second Rite. Is it worth it ?
I would really level up a similar char if I could find the time to do so and I eventually will, but I have always wondered if SW and SR really needed maxing. Do they provide a significant dps increase ?
The attack speed increase doesn’t apply to Phanta-Blades and the flat and percentage-based bonus to damage are anyway grealty diminished by Frentic Throw penalty to total damage.
But I don’t know, may be there’s something I’m missing that makes the skills worth being maxed.
I thought, I might just ask and have some one’s opinion who actually play-tested it.
That Blood Orb could definitely be of use, if i can manage to find one. Could even equip some elemental damage pieces along with it. Do you know what sources of elemental damage it converts? Only flat elemental? Does it convert fire/cold/lightning aswell, and % damages?
The Demonslayer set doesnt really give much to the Occultist side of my build, which i would say is more than half so im not sure if its that useful.
I would definitely say that SW&SR are worth the points. They boost my main two damage types by roughly 25% each.
Any flat elemental, guessing it doesn’t convert dots since there is no chaos dot
Does not convert % mods and no double dippin it doesn’t get buffed by ele %, converted, then buffed by chaos % too. Only your chaos % will modify the damage
