Regarding flame surge, I'm actually really fond of it, before they neutered CoC I used to love running the classic cyclone - coc - shock nova - ice nova - flame surge. People will definitely appreciate your interpretation of this build and I'm glad you had a good time testing it out.Ĭompletely ok with being a variation, read and enjoyed your synopsis of my version A+. I'm super glad you got back to me after your tests, I'd have replied sooner but things have been hectic this week. Your skill tree will likely appeal to more players, though. Sometimes I won't even use blood rage just because having almost 10% life regen per second makes everything so relaxed. Personally, I feel much more comfortable with ~150% increased armour and plenty of life regen. Taking those curse effect nodes might also have been a better choice. I don't know why but it feels really good to me and to be honest that's a big reason that I went with it for this build. Absolutely fair enough wanting to drop flame surge and use something more mainstream, a lot of people hate flame surge for its weird aoe shape. I didn't even consider the dex requirement on cospri's, that's a good point too. I've added a "variations" section to the guide and made yours the first, if that's alright with you. If you want to check out the character, the name is self_flagellation, my profile is unlocked so you should be able to view it. This is all just because you said let you know how it goes. Your build is fantastic, and your guide was a great source of inspiration for me. I know I can come off as long winded and arrogant sometimes, it's not my intent. Please don't think I'm in anyway bashing your build.
DOES HEX MASTER WORK WITH WITCHFIRE BREW MODS
Highest map I've ran with it so far is t13, a couple with some pretty rippy mods and it felt fine, I have no doubts it can do higher, I just haven't done it yet. It rarely takes more than 1 cast of ed to clear trash packs.Įven bosses that don't have good adds, you can drop wither totem and spam ed and they just melt. Basically just whirling blade into a pack, shout, ED, boom.
It feels MUCH better with essence drain than it did with flame surge IMO. Put on a carcass jack, life, all res, aoe, and I just happened to have a 6 link laying around.Įssence drain - faster casting - void manip - controlled destruction - rapid decay - pierceĪbyssal cry - less duration - void manip - inc aoe So I swapped the wyrmsign for winds of change, cheap, about the same life roll, and a decent damage a quality of life boost to essence drain. I figured since we're scaling all this chaos, poison, and DoT stuff, why not use a skill to actually take advantage of that. So with my tree I initially tried flame surge, in wyrmsigns, which was ok, it did work, but I felt it could be better. Since the build somewhat relies on curses for it's survivability, having massively increased range and effectiveness on them is very much worth the point investment IMO.Īlso, if you choose to run vulnerability, since that's a debuff on the mobs not a buff on your, it's effectively a more multiplier, so boosting the effectiveness of that is pretty sweet. Two of the reasons I consider my tree to be better though, I worked in hex master and skittering runes. You have more life regen in yours, but I don't value that much for this build, mine has enough to comfortably run blood rage for frenzy charges which is the only part that matters to me. You have ~70 chaos and ~70 area damage on your jewels, I have 110% chaos in the tree with another ~25 on jewels so about the same You have 213% life vs my 215%, essentially the same, unless you make it a point to get life on all your jewels which increases the cost exponentially.
So some highlights of your tree vs mine, I'm ignoring the differences between +armour, evasion, energy shield, and resistances because those are just incidental to both of our trees and a focus of neither. Per your own guide you focused mainly on life and jewel sockets, which is absolutely fine, but I just really didn't feel like trying to roll or buy a bunch of jewels for something I knew I'd only be using for a few days between leagues, so, here's the tree I made and used. I was going to use your tree but as I was specing into it I decided to look at the numbers a bit more.
I must admit I didn't go with your tree, but made my own.

My initial plan of using cospiri chest I decided against simply because I wasn't factoring in that it has a 193 dex requirement and I don't want to have to spend that many mod slots on my gear going for dex to wear it. Ok, so, after playing around with it a bit, I gotta say I'm much more impressed with abyssal cry clear speed than I thought I would be.
