Have already changed a bit. Took Empowered Gorefeast and Light´s Defenders Gauntlets, could change a few components and changed Devotions (Only 1 Point Scales of Ulcama, Complete Hawk, 1 Point Lion): http://www.grimtools.com/calc/lV70bvZQ
It’s for poison and chaos resist. The extra chaos resist allows you to swap some of the aether/chaos augments to aether/lightning augments so you can swap relics. Not using Mogdrogden the Wolf is a pretty big DPS loss. My changes will give you a sizable DPS increase.
For DoT build you don’t need attack speed so much, unlike of flat damage, because new hits just upgrade duration, not deal damage. I’m not sure would Butcher be better or not, just suggest you to try and compare.
Empowered Gorefeast was the better choice and my DoT-Ticks do a lot more damage as before. Changed quite a few things, I will see if I can clear the content with this build.
I hope the loss of Dryad´s Blessing wouldn´t be so hard.
Edit: You have to swap weapons in Grimtools. Don´t know why it always show spare set of weapons. When going to the Rogue Dungeons, I will replace Dread Skull with Aether Soul/Black Tallow (one or both for Damage Reduce?) and one Bloody Whetstone (for more Damage against Aetherials/Cthonics?).
First of all SS %wp damage and Savagery+ execution are in conflict. They don’t stack. Get the points out of SS. Savagery+ Exectuion will deal way more than SS.
Max Shaman mastery and MAx Storm Pact. %Crit damage is king where DoT damage is concerned. Notice the 500K tick at s 18:00 sec.
Get manticore.
My build was a nit squishy but it’s fine. Was looking to maximize damage and kill before being killed.
Edit: I as looking at your first grimm tool. Aslo idk if anyone mentioned. Don’t ise Belgothian Shears with this build. Animation is slow and %weapon damage is low and as i mentioned, doesn’t really stack with anying else. Amarasta Quick cut is also useless for this build. Whirling Death for AoE and Execution for single target is all you need
Howl of Modrogen is only Level 2 at the moment but Fabius was “okay”.
I´m a little bit worried about Energymanagement. If I cast Devouring Swarm and Entangling Vines regularly it could be an issue.
Actually, Single target is Trickster was pretty strong (350-500K Dot (500 vs humans)).
But he lacks the reliablity of a Blade Arc build that will stfu an entire mob in front of him.
2h Wader actually had kinda similar results vs Fabius. It was less damage ~350-maybe 400k. But It’s instant because of BA. You don’t need a build-up like trickster where you need to hope for a good crit with Savagery+execution proc.
So overall Warder will allways be easier to play.
I made a bloody pox+Swarm bleed conjurer. Amazing vs mobs but vs single target damage is weak.
Here she is for reference, crucible setup (Switch weapons, I forgot about that, this is an old backed up save):
@Rhythar: I never found a use for Dryad in this build. As for Energy, Get an Arcane Spark . You also need it for the OA which is kinda low. You should have at least ~2650 with tehnacity of the boar up.
I also notice you use eye of the strum now. For Attack speed? If it’s for the reduced energy cost just get arcane spark and put back slaughter. That flat bleed proc on it is strong
Dryad was nice with nearly constant healing. It helped me a lot of times, when I made mistakes like hitting reflective mobs e g.
Any advice how to get more OA? I can push Tenacity a little bit but 2650…I don´t know how.
Eye of the Storm:
I use it for Attack Speed, Energy Cost Reduce, +1 Shaman and Resistance. I have no items (and the wrong allies with Kymon´s Chosen) to compensate the loss of the Resistance.
Dreeg-Sect Guardian doesn´t like me at all. If (and it´s a really big IF) it drops a pair of trousers then the best I can hope for is to get about 1000 Coins from any merchant.
Short:
I don´t have any Dreeg-Legguards. :undecided:
Arcane Spark or maybe Ectoplasm? Because, when I will try BoC and Port Valbury, I want to change minimum 1 Dread Skull for Black Tallow/ Aether Soul. With Arcane Spark I would be less flexible and Corpse Dust (Ring) would be easier to live without.
Edit:
Question:
Do I really need so much OA when Howl of Mogdrogen (Procc with reduce Enemy DA) is up?
I have max 563k crit on my Warder and 12 sec Fabius kill. This is with Oleron’s rage instead of Stormcaller pact, have to test another setup with second one.
Ok, so I’ve understood what’s the key in each case and why nearly same results:
Haha that is one lucky crit. Warders also strugle with OA a bit so that’s good.
“Do I really need so much OA when Howl of Mogdrogen (Procc with reduce Enemy DA) is up?” Yes OA has great returns up until around 3K. At 2650 + Mog you should do ok
