I took it to 84 to equip all items and its another super fun build which feels very complete. Tips for lich noobs like me: - drain life is mostly for single target and low density trash mobs, event mobs and general clear in monos you will do using mostly death seal - you gain ward from crits from Lich passive so use Prismatic Gaze + 2% crit phantom grips early to get your dmg and defense at the same time - 40% dmg multi for 0 leach on drain life is not worth it if it will make you loose your lich form frequently because the goal is to have 100% uptime on lich form - if you are not blasting through monos you can use blood curse instead of transplant for extra damage on clear and also extra defense via 100% ranged slow appliance - having blind chance on your wand would be a great way to fix your crit dmg reduction
Bro, once you have soul maw (last column passive) drain life leech is useless, 40% more is a HUUUGE dps boost, do not confuse it with %increase(wich is very little boost), at lvl 84 you have to have enough passive point to take soul maw
It's because of the passive aggressive way he responds to questions. This is why he only has 370 subs and will never make it as a content creator. Not unless he learns that content creators will have to deal with all manners of questions, some stupid, but you grit your teeth and deal with it.
@@risenepiphany i asked a few questions and each response was snarky and passive aggressive, i deleted them, he lost my sub and i'm not contributing to his channel anymore.
I made a few changes, switching Transplant for Wandering Spirits with the non-expiring option and extra mana when they do vanish. I also got Prismatic Gaze and 2 red rings. I can now easily farm 900C but went as far as 1.1k without any issues, it was just taking too long to kill mobs. All with low LP items, I bet in merchant's guild and decent items with 3LP this can be pushed further up.
amazing build man, only thing about it is you need so much spell crit on your gear that you have a damage ceiling, but besides that it is really really strong
Question about your passive choice of Mind Over Body, giving yourself a 10% per second loss in health. Do you not find this prohibitive? I imagine it makes keeping reaper form exceptionally difficult. Like if you go even a couple seconds without damaging an enemy then youre screwed. Not a problem during the event but now without them event mobs the echos are so sparsely populated. Hard to constantly be hitting an enemy
You mention in you Drain Life skill point section that the Blood Pact node might be bugged. It seems to be working as intended, it removes all mana costs EXCEPT the Dark Shackles cost, so Drain Life should cost 60 mana from Dark Shackles AND 10% current HP from Blood Pact, mana cost is then reduced by flat reductions from equipment, and then both mana and health costs are affected by the multipliers from Thoughtsteal and Insatiable. This ends up being -14% to resource costs, final costs should be about 8% current hp and 50-55 mana per cast. which matches up with your in game costs afaik. +
May I ask you another question, wrongwarp or ladle? warp looks better in monos since you cant be on max spd stacks from rip blood + ms, but ladle looks better on bosses, cuz of shred and cast speed, can't decide what to farm with 2lp. Nvm, warp is better, had to slam t7 MS to blood of the exile, then find spidersilk belt with t7 crit void + %HP, then find good phantom grip with t5 crit avoid, then slam 3lp phantom mire gloves with some missing stats - ez pz :D abby dies 10 sec faster now ;D :D :D Still need 2 lp warp tho :D 160% MS feels gooood :D
Oof nice auto rifle build, ty! :D I guess death seal becomes a problem on high corruption?(700-1000) Or amount of DR is enough to survive big hits? Prismatic Gaze allows you to replace 1 phantom ring with something else like Flames of midnigh/Oceareon/crab ring(lul) is it worth doing? or that abby helmet is better?
Yes prismatic gaze is soooo good for the build for sure. Would not use flames of midnight because lich already get a lot of necrotic pen. I'd use oceareon or Red Ring. I don't try to push 700-1000 corruption i thik its kinda pointless but i think you can stack enough HP to be fine there.
@@wanderdota @lordmamon4566 oh ok, i will try the helmet and one ring, I guess red ring but so hard to get damn! Also, what is the main damage skill single target ? Blood rip or drain life ? If I remove transplant skill, which skill would you replace it with ? (one for farm, one for bossing)
When i evaluate a unique i assign the stats on it like an exalted. Rainbow edge has up to T7 Crit Multi, T1 added cold,fire,lightning on a falchion base. With the added bonus of shock and chill which is always welcome. It is not a great unique, I would say the best builds you can use it in is either shadow cascade, void knight warpath, or shatter strike.
Hey brother love the build but is there any way for the planner to have the skills mapped out what order to get them while leveling. I know it's probably self explanatory but I like my hand being held lol.
@@jordanedwards6773 im not sure how to do that exactly but the most important nodes are dark shackles in drain life, and then rip blood giving mana return and spell damage. Also ‘Deadlock’ in death seal!
Hello, Can you have a look at my character and let me know if I'm doing something wrong ? (unlucky on the red ring, and need to change the +40% void resistance on amulette anything else ?) I got good dps on aberoth but still getting os on random stuff
I got all of that, I can’t paste my link of my character but yeah I was thinking of maybe getting aurora glass to avoid the OS and forget about the amazing nihilis amulette nah?
@@julesfrarier5874 Aurora timeglass is really good for the cast speed and, endurance. The proc is not super useful because reaper form will be proccing it all the time but its ok. I would look for a nice exalted Bone Amulet or Oracle Amulet is a bit better than timeglass unless you get LP on it :). Nihilis is best.
This scales with mana better than Static Orb (3% per 10 mana instead of 5% per 20 mana). You might be able to put together a 1 shot build like orb with this one. I will have to try it.
If you have stygian, you can start right away at lvl 36. Might be a bit hard to manage mana, but damage is quit decent. Was able to clear everything in campaign without any issues.
Just put on your stygian coal at level 36 and use drain life. I used these skills the whole way. If you are really struggling, summons are pretty strong in early campaign.
lol Aberroth is a joke with this build, with 0 crit avoidance and 2k hp I am able to facetank him, true boss killer build with ridicolous single target dps and defences as well

Awesome, yep prismatic gaze really unlocks the damage potential.
amazing build man, only thing about it is you need so much spell crit on your gear that you have a damage ceiling, but besides that it is really really strong
Yes but even with no crits the build is doing a lot of damage, you can always use 4% prismatic gaze to get to 100% crit a lot easier
Amazing build! Im gonna try it!!
Yep just reached emp monos and its really really strong!! Comparable to my fc static orb sorc and shatterstrike spellblade!

I do not find it prohibitive at all. Solutions:
1) Movement Speed
2) Leech
3) it's Current Health, not Maximum Health.

Sorry I probably will not work on gearing this character more, he is already so strong with 'bad' gear.
What about Grasp of the Damned in Drain Life tree? It's usefull or nah?
I tested, i don't think it works sadly
Hello,
Can you have a look at my character and let me know if I'm doing something wrong ?
(unlucky on the red ring, and need to change the +40% void resistance on amulette
anything else ?)
I got good dps on aberoth but still getting os on random stuff
60% endurance, hp, resists, and armor in that order
I got all of that, I can’t paste my link of my character but yeah I was thinking of maybe getting aurora glass to avoid the OS and forget about the amazing nihilis amulette nah?

Is there a way to increase the monolith clear speed, or is that the trade off for the crazy singletarget damage.
The soul blast nodes in Drain Life help a little bit
This scales with mana better than Static Orb (3% per 10 mana instead of 5% per 20 mana). You might be able to put together a 1 shot build like orb with this one. I will have to try it.
I have no doubt that this build can kill aberroth in under 10 seconds
Whlle true but mage passives are littered with mana nodes. My sorc is at 2600 mana.
Can you use a different helmet to start? That’s really late game. Thanks, great build!
Yes I need a mid game planner or first end game .. instead aberroth items ..? Thanks

For mana gain, you can also use wandering spirits at the beginning.

What is the minion damage scaling? (Going to watch tonight)
I don't see any minion tags, but I see minion scaling gear.
I can assure you I do not have minion scaling in my build on purpose
Nice build! mostly only see DoT Stygian beams. Why no Immolator's Oblation for more flat damage+Frenzy?
They nerfed immolator oblation by 67%. It is not worth using on any build now. I did use it for a while though.
but laddle have no dammage.
rip blood give much dammage
