Sooooo, once more I’m trying to do something completely out of meta.
This time I won’t provide a GT-link, cuz my Elementarist is only lvl. 74 right now - and she’s just a trashbin of ideas on how to make the build work in endgame.
Since stun jacks don’t get any weapon damage %, the first problem was getting some decent healing/defensive potential. For that I’m going to use Light’s Defender set and pick dryad, tree of life and behemoth on my constellation route - but I’m still not sure if it’ll be enough, even paired with overcapped resistances and passive hp-regen.
Buuut… Survivability is the least of my problems. The bigger one is how my main skill works. I must admit, that even now it hits like a truck with a totally drunk driver - hard like hell, but only if it manages to hit the right place :rolleyes:
If someone wants to see, what in the name of all gods I have created, I’ll provide a link, but right now I’d like to know, if anyone managed to make a viable stun-jacks-spam-caster or get some tips and hint on what could prove useful.
Why not just get Blast Shield and Wendigo Totems for healing and Damage reduction? here is my budget version (skeleton build) https://www.grimtools.com/calc/mN48jvyN white items means “get whatever” (and most green MI do not have pre- & suffix)
version with more Maelstrom https://www.grimtools.com/calc/62a5D4X2
if you get like 16k health and 2.8ish DA, you can just stand in Totem aura and heal
who me? Yeah I have that too. But that would be one more skill-button to keep track of (but that is up to taste how much piano one want to play I guess). One could go with a good Kymon’s badge in such set-up.
It will. Same as a Rune of Haggarad build with Inq Seal and WT can just stand still and spam the runes and negate damage and heal. Well you can’t facetank EVERYTHING but almost. Sometimes you just have to kite.
The difference is that inq seal is always “on” as long as you stand on it. Blast Shield is only on if you go sub 60% health (and has cooldown) but you can kite with it. So both inq seal and blast shield has pros and cons.
Another way of heal: Bat and a Blazeseer ring (vita > fire conversion) or Luminari medal (pierce > elemental conversion) Bat also have weapon damage component, gauntles of ignaffar (pierce > fire) Cinderplate girdle (pierce > fire), and so on.
I have complained about the fact that half of the projectiles in Stun Jacks constantly miss unless it’s an enemy like an Aetherial Hulk. It makes getting mods with extra projectiles kind of pointless because half of them are constantly missing.
Quick Jacks overall just feels like a way worse Phantasmal Blades. The latter has a much tighter spread cone, sustain and weapon damage. Not to mention each projectile is just stronger than a Stun Jacks projectile.
I am testing in GD stash Stun Jacks/Lightning Grenado/Storm Totem Light Defender Elementalist and I gotta say, it’s such a sad character. Like the damage is pretty great but how are you supposed to survive with a caster Elementalist?
I am going to finish it, but a lot of offensive sacrifices have to be made devotion wise to make it work. So far my next iteration for testing looks like this.
It’s also an awkward grand piano build, so there is that. Hope that helps.
It’s not especially counter-intuitive once you get Light’s Defender. Here’s mine, using Cataclysm set at present, but I personally like using the Invoker’s set a little more: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/xZyqyprZ
The best set for stun jacks/savagery electroduce build is the light’s defender.
Sad story u can’t make it. i tried the last month’s lots of variatians and die. Why cause u can’t heal… Cause u dont have heal skill.
U can make it if u choose the full defend route on devotion and skip all the synergys devo like ultos or tempest, widow, but that is not my style here.
If u chose to use the stromreaver or any 2 hander for it and brute force line with savagery u die again cause u can’t tank that much.
If i honest i made some lucky chars that can do it 170 cruci, but 10/7 wich is not great…
Furthermore i think SJ one of the worst skill’s why cause spreading and for efficiency u have to tank to drop all the projectile to a hulk…
For camping it will work for it. Everything works in campaing nowdays.
I think I am very close to making it a woarkable gladiator build. Sad thing is because you have to focus so much on defence being elementalist caster you lose too muchof offence.
Yeah, but the build i made it it can make it anyway. Double %RR + BWC + warpfire. Mostly burn dmg, wich u dont need to much OA.
U can make it on Light’s defender too, but u lost to much on it. BWC only fire based. Light of emprion fire based too wich not fit for lightning dmg for me. U can stil get it.
I hope u make it i will be glad to see one, beside my 3 Infernal knight gladiator, wich we had not been before.
