For those of us who don't have complete key legendary sets, how does this build perform without the BiS end-game gear? Does it hold its own in Ultimate enough to farm its own gear? How was the leveling process?
Pain in the ass lol. I'm terrible at spell caster builds just going to be honest. I leveled with 4 people in ultimate mode at the start though with lokar and exp pots. Biggest issue was not having devotion points going into level 50 and I crafted some legos. You'll struggle solo if you do it the way I did. But like I said it was on ultimate at the start which is already challenging with the reduced resistances
just want to mention something about damage conversion. It seems to me that you thought extra %chaos damage would help because of it getting converted into aether, but damage conversion happens before percentage dmg type bonuses are added, so you either get %aether, or %chaos, the conversion doesnt mean you get to apply 2 kinds of dmg type bonuses
Yeah I noticed this one day I was testing this out and asked my friend who has helped me gather and create builds. He confirmed exactly what you're telling me. Thanks for the comment though! Will be helpful for those who don't know.
You could replace your off hand with a good roll pulsing shard and the necklace could be a conduit of arcane whisper with the 24%weapon damage on aether ray, it would help your sustain a lot or you can replace it with essence of the grim dawn.
Thanks Adrian! I'll go farm the pieces and see what it looks like. This build still is one of my favorites in its current state. Maybe it will perform better with the new pieces you suggested though!
Love yr build man! Simple and effective AAR
Thanks a ton!
Just last night I was looking at Spellbinder builds... I don't want to use Ravenous Earth! Thank you Destructable! I hope that hand is healing up
You bet! This build is really insane!
