Elemental Dmg: +24%
Spirit: +10
Burn/Frost/Elec: +30%
-RDR: -15%
Ele Resist: +8%
Skill Energy Reduce: +5%
Iām not sure how much of the Owl stuff is actually useful in this build. The 30% burn etc doesnāt seem useful (or is it?), elemental dmg is 15% less than cold and since we only seem to get benefit fom tghe cold part, that seems a 15% loss.
Ofc the small resist is useful and the spirit = a bit more dmg, not sure how muchā¦
Overall Iām not sure which is best, or if thereās much to choose (it looks a bit closer than I thought now I wrote out the totals for each devo), but Iām still getting used to GD - but thatās why I asked
EDIT: One reason to go Owl is if levelling as PRM, when 24% Ele dmg = effectively 72% with PRM since itās cold/fire/light. Going back to re-spec later would be painful since weād have to undo all the way back to about 11 devotion points (I think).
How does your char live in tough battle?? I have similar melee build and I think cause of zero physical resistance he gets big damage and dying fast, so sadā¦
I still havenāt been able to decide what to do with my Spellbreaker. Keep trying new cold builds. Iāve got something similar to this but 2H; picked up Kraken devotion for that juicy boost and then some Amatok points because I already had all the requirements. Using Northern Wyrm right now but I did try Will of Fate to see if that pass-through perk would help.
Seems to do ok, also using Nightās Embrace for the skill it grants. With that buff up, you can even freeze most bosses. Could do with more OA and attack speed right now though.
-Nightās Embrace is too much of chore, i only use it in builds where i need it. Like the Pure Cold PB Caster, and even there i sometimes forget to use the skill and make do with Mirror and Nullification
-Northern Wyrm is not a good weapon, i tried with a Frostborn Rifle of Fury and the DPS loss felt huge to me
-While Empowered Will of Fate is a good idea i feel it works best with Fire Strike. I made an WoF Fire Strike build when i was new to the game, it works great with Brimstone.
-Cold doesnāt have a great spammable LMB skill. The strongest pure cold melee skill is called Scourge Strike which comes from a relic. They could help cold builds by making it so that ABB hits with both weapons.
-Btw, Amatok sucks
-I am great with timing my skills so i donāt die to the likes of Moosilauke, Ben, Rashalga and Fabius.
I think Iron Maiden can still kill me, i consider her to be stronger than Rashalga mainly cause you canāt kite her.
-Btw, your build looks nice. But i am guessing you die cause of your uncapped resistances rather than physical resistance.
-You donāt have Mark of Divinity for WTF moments
For aether I use consumable (moveton, but no way ), other 1-2% of resistances don`t play a role I guess.
So what can you suggest as a hat and belt, same with your char or something else??
-Clairvoyantās Hat is the only one that comes to mind
-Olexraās Flash Freeze weapon you are using can be and should be changed to Loxmereās Dagger of Shattering/Fury/Voracity.
-Shoulderguard needs to be Zantarinās for overcapping Lethal Assault, HP and resistances. The current is pretty good though, so this change isnāt mandatory
-Use Cronleyās Signet for more AS
-Spellbreaker Waistguard for more flat cold damage
EDIT:
Doesnāt DW Melee ABB only hit with one weapon?
I use Beronathās Fury, heheh, Lethal Assault still on 19/12)
Great thanks to you, man, Ive changed medal and hat and stopped dying so much. its sad that there are only a little ways to make strong build in this game, so most chars are look alike (I really didn`t want to make a clone of your one).
About other equipment:
I don`t like too many green items ^^
Blade Breaker Sash are same with Spellbreaker Waistguard(except of flad damage, ofc), but also has more OA and bleeding resistance, I`ve found it more better in my setup.
I like your builds, but I am OA whore, like JoV, not attack speed:D
-If youāre going WPS Beronath+Lethal Assault then go for more AS to make the most of WPS. Thatās what iād do, but i guess it comes down to personal choices
-Try getting more OA from constellations and augments (Devilās Crossing sells some nice augments)
-You need one more green item to compensate your bleed resistance and youāre all set
What should devotion skills that proc as āX% Chance when hitā be bound to?
I picked up Wayward Soul from the chariot thing and tbh it took me by surprise that I had to bind it at all, I thought it would just proc X% of the time when I got hit.
Choice of skills atm is:
Pneumatic Burst
Mirror of Erecteons
Maivenās Sphere of Protection
Iskandraās Ele Exchange
Maybe Maivenās since itās up all the time. But in the OPās build Maivenās isnāt taken, soā¦ what then?
Any on-hit skill in any build is always attached to an aura that stays up 24/7. While PB does stay effectively 24/7 binding things to it isnāt recommended
I donāt use Maivenās, i think i have it attached to IEE
-For instance, my main skill Amarastaās Blade Burst (ABB) has a maximum level of 16. This means that i canāt āupgradeā that skill beyond level 16 by investing anymore skill points.
-If i want to go beyond level 16 then i need items that grant me +x to Amarastaās Blade Burst. āxā here signifies a varaible number that is different for each item
-When a skill is upgraded to a level beyond its max level (16 in the case of ABB) it is called Ultimate Level. Each skill has 10 ultimate levels. So despite all the item bonuses ABBās max level is 26 (16 skill points + 10 ultimate levels)
Iāve been leveling this build up (with some deviations), and can attest that it is a lot of fun. With the new patch The Northern Wyrm gets a little upgrade, so Iām looking forward to trying it out. *I should mention that I prefer the use of ranged 2 handed (so far). Havenāt tried dual wielding pistols yet, and Iām level 74.
Legendary - The Northern Wyrm: added 10% Attack Speed, added Frostburn damage to skill proc
