@milkod2001I must encounter resistance breakers very often because I never go in AoZ without armor/res caps/~50% all dr(tons of conditional drs) and ~23k HP, I've been one shot many times over, usually when I'm cc'd
It's worth noting that %Total armor also affects skulls in jewelry. In my case, I was getting 488 armor each for skulls for a total of 1464 armor, or about 13% physical resist in a NMD 100. Not worth it for 10% cold res to cap out
You can get Armor 13.500 with max resis with Shako, 3xskulls, 3xresis on boots, 1xtrousers, 1x chest and armor from paragon (e.g. via tricks of the trade)
The uniques that occupy any defensive slot are a bit suspect. I run a Sorc and have not found any Ubers yet but I am using Temerity. This sacrifices skill ranks on Mastery skills but provides a barrier. Given affixes that do additional damage when you have a barrier there is some advantage to using it.... I guess. When you find a good unique it is worth testing but it may fall short of regular gear with good rolls and a good aspect. Great video as usual!
@@droid5785 I use the Undying vampiric power but not Hemomancy. Additionally, I am using the Sorc passive Warmth and firebolt enchantment. Part of my reasoning for using Temerity is that despite having total armor affixes on my defensive gear including the amulet and all skulls in all the gem slots I am still below 13500 total armor so I am using disobedience anyway. Additionally, I lucked out and my Temerity rolled a maximum 80% barrier which is great! To be clear using Temerity makes me more dependent on using disobedience but I feel the barrier makes it worthwhile. I wish Blizzard would provide some indication of the relative strength of the barrier. As it is a barrier of 1 looks like a barrier of 12000...
With that resistance issue you’d only need a lighting and shadow gem + a Diamond for all resistance and boom. At least for what I saw in the first minute or so.
@wudijo doesnt the 20 % all damge reduction make up for the loss of armor. I mean all dmg reduction affix alone is harder to get than armor % affixes. Dat should be enought to make up for the loss of armor. i have all dmg reduction on my pants, chest and now shako and i feel really tanky.
melted heart of selig breaks the game for sorc. got a high defence chest, damage reduction while injured on pants and boots with other top stats, 3 out of 3 on recharging aspect for infinite mana and add reselince vampire power. take off ammy, let mobs hit u to less than 10% health put ammy back on. Immortaloty unlocked was running T10 in AOZ, and never took a lick of damage but could not clear timer would run out. Was putting up that many number game was locking up. Ball lightnings were hitt on average over 300k a hit.
For the low life Selig build, if you can't even stack the DR while injured affixes, it won't work. Just a theoretical comparison, a character with 150 max resource running a low life selig build could potentially lose 6 defensive affixes (1 from pants, 1 from boots, 4 from the amulet). The DR gained would mean the damage taken is reduced to (assuming resilience DR is 48%): 1*(1-43.3%)^2*(1-0.48) = 0.167. This in turn results in EHP fold as: 1/0.167*50% = 2.99 (only consider the EHP provided by resource, with no regen). In comparison, if you put 6 defensive affixes together, assuming each defensive affix gives you 10.7% flat DR (simplified for approximation here because you can't exactly calculate conditional DR and contribution from armor etc.), then damage taken is reduced to 1*(1-10.7%)^6 = 0.507. So the EHP fold in this situation is 1/0.507=1.97. In this case, the Selig low life build gets ~51.7% more EHP, all 4 affixes from the Selig amulet, and loses one aspect form the amulet. If the normal build uses doombringer, then EHP would be similar from the two builds, with the Selig build gaining 4 affixes from the Selig amulet, flexible weapon affix and stats choices, and losing one amulet aspect.
I have a shako and it saddens me how hard it is to put it in a build. I think most of the problem is actually tibaults will fault, its waaaay too good to drop from most builds and its a really good defensive slot
Exactly. Need shielding storm + disobedience on most Necro builds. My ball sorc was loving it and walking arsenal Barb enjoyed the points to both death blow and upheaval.
What I think it would take to make Harlequin Crest truly a pinnacle item would be for it to also boost the passives you've invested at least one point into and not just all active skills.
Separately, I hypothesize that armor breakers and resistance breakers may account for many of the "one-shot deaths" people complain about in AoZ than we realize (since we never get to see the dungeon affixes).
520 runs as of last night. Got the mount skin twice. Still no Uber. Ticket in with Blizz inquiring as to how I can get 2 mount skins as they said that was fixed back in season 0.
Your calculations are fine, but you use EHP as a measure when dealing with Selig. To make sense of that you would also need to do a calulation for effective recovery and divide the EHP by that and then compare. You can regain 30% of your energy on every hit, but you cannot regain 30% life on every hit. Since with Seling you dont lose life until you are without energy, the energy recovery is a big factor. You are either immortal with a proper build or you are unable to use this at all. And being low life can be a breakpoint in being one or the other.
@@wudijo true that, if there are one shots the energy recovery doesnt' help. But if you get to a point where you can sustain the energy loss confortably, well you are golden. That's where energy recovery constitues part of the EHP comparison. For the Sorc the cooldowns for barriers as well, mana only as a fallback. A breakpoint of activating barriers before they deplete is like having infinite energy recovery with Selig. If I recall a low life barrier ball sorc did a 20 with Selig on SC. It might be tight, but if are achieving it, a pure EHP vs EHP is like doing the comparison against the very worst case (char AFK/disconnected or unable to play the build correctly for some reason). The worst case has merit but the average case (where you regen the energy or barrier) is what you experience most of the time. But for HC I completely understand your reasoning. It is one thing to fail a tier of AoZ for misplay and a completely different one to die permanenlty while doing that.
In Diablo 2 it was a shako, elite type of helm (normal is a Cap and exceptional is War Hat), so it was the Harlequin Crest Shako, and it was just easier to call it Shako. The name has stuck through to D4 now.
Just a thought, when considering Selig amulet, have you taken into account the various ways to get energy back quickly, essentially having large amount of life steal? Like the rapid fire upgrade (improved), the shadow damage generation (consuming shadows) and the lucky hit to restore (innervation)? Especially the innervation passive with obscene amounts of lucky hit chance? There are no comparative ways to life leech the normal way for hp (with the nerf to siphoning strikes)? Also maybe Inner Sight giving you invulnerability for 4 seconds?
It's important to remember that Shako might be less valuable right now due to rogues using a bug for their source of dmg. Plus ranks of skills is important even now and when the rogue bug gets fixed after the seasons shako will jump up in value.
Pen-shot twisting blades with audarials visage is good. I got to 16 on abitar. I chose visage over shako due to high lucky hit procs an using frostburn to freeze everything with high crowd control. I then stealth into bloodseekers and freeze poison burst them.
A friend of mine said he did this too (the lucky hit with frostburns) and now I kinda want to try it, after being plain old cookie cutter TB all last season and this one.
@@thehoerscorral8565 I like it, with high crowd control and the lucky procks you shred everything and things that don’t auto die are auto frozen. You can rapid fire but I actually double down on TB since I found ways to make both work. I actually dropped xfaul for this when normally I’d run it. But TB with high poison and freeze shreds the elites in higher abitar and also the blood seeker where I was finding rapid to be more lackluster
@@Rilo888 Yeah I'm not a big fan of rapid, I'll try pen shot/tb because I have all the ubers so I can mess around with andys. I actually haven't even been using shako since getting it either, because like Wudi's I have a god tier 925 legendary helm off Duriel with max armor roll and high others.
Is it possible to reach armor cap on sorc? Highest I have achieved is 10.2k on My current setup. It can do up to Tier 10 AoZ easily then starts to fall off
@@MrXiinith Sure. But I never said you should have to. And I'm not saying any Uber unique has to categorically be bis. But if it isn't best for something or barely better. What's the point? An item like shako should be undeniably better at something for every class. At least this is my opinion. Something like Selig? No. But that's not the same as what shako is or represents.
took me a long time to find shako no way i’m not wearing it idc if i can’t push farther in a mode that gives a disappearing glyph and zero other rewards
considering your calculations would you buff shako, or other ubers by that matter, to make them more "unique" with more "flavour"? Maybe not buff them but give them more personality rather than just being a mathematically increase in damage/defenses??
Just let me add a single aspect to them. Then ppl can share what aspect they have on what unique. Issue is doing this with every slot but that's why they need set bonuses
I wondered about this since seeing the endgame builds after getting all the ubers. Even on barb it was like without the few resist rolls you DO have, you have such bad resists and need other things than armor in jewelry, but then you lose even more armor and despite having all this extra life and stats and damage reduction you have like 8-12k armor, whereas if i drop shako, tibaults and selig/banished lords, i can have well over 15k armor, but the tradeoff of damage is so much, so aside from overpower hota barb, I don't know if I can take the damage loss of only having a level 10 (now, it was literally level 3 before LOL) glyph when pushing above 10 to 15 (currently at 13 solo with hota barb, havent tried the newer hota-ww build). I really don't want to have to do any snapshotting or gear swapping mid run, and I realize and accept that means I won't ever be getting as high as the people willing to do all that, so I'm just resigned to only topping out at maybe 15-17 if I have the patience (and sigil powder..........).
Shako good on sorc, since resistance max from paragon. But yeah for rogue n barb need resistance from armor gears but barb is tanky already. Sorc selig n shako needed to offset lower armor. Rogue is not a good class this season like necro n druid for higher tiers. This is the season of HOTA and BL. Next season they gonna nerf them to the ground.
The Math is a bit off here. For example if you "loose" 18% DR you need to divide by 1.18 not simply multiply with 0.82 😉. 1/1.18 is about 0.847, not a big difference, but noticeable.
Selig for an Uber unique seems very weak and niche. Like what's the point of it being an uber now? HC seems also very weak for an uber. It's not as strong as everyone thinks it is. If it gave +points (3) to passives as well then it'll be better.
Fascinating, but it appears your opinions are flavored slightly by the fact that you play hardcore. Noting wrong with it but it does make it a bit tougher to test things without dying, LOL.
It’s from Diablo 2. Shako was the item type of a Harlequin Crest before it was identified (which you had to do to before wearing most items in every Diablo game prior to D4).
I did not see a single scenario where the Harlequin Crest is useful here, so how is it a good item? You lose stuff without gaining anything meaningful basically. At least for Rogues ANY random helm with armor out of the thousands that you will find after all these hours of gameplay will be a lot better.
your problems arise from not building around a shako from the stsrt. i agree it can ne hard to just swap it in on a whim but if you had it before you built the toon it is fairly easy to work around the weaknesses of it and 9/10 times its worth doing. i cant speak for rogue i never played one but its certainly bis for many builds.
I think the whole system of chasing these ubers is stupid. I don't want to farm 500+hours to get the items, every. single. season. again. I'm fine with farming but the ubers take way too long if you want to get them the legit way. Yes you can buy the mats for real money and be done with it, but that's pay 2 win and I refuse to support pay 2 win. So I have to farm the mats all by myself, every season again and again. The fact that I need these ubers to be somewhat competitive is just sad, without the items you're not strong enough. It feels like Blizzard removes a problem but also adds new problems with these idea's.
@@Verallzpeople buy mats by trading gold, yellow ancestral gear, or real money. I chose the latter and bought about 1000x duriel runs for about $60 bucks during Black Friday on a site. Got shako and melted heart after 800~ runs
if you have enough gold you can just buy the mats. I got 60 of each for 500 million gold. Players usually sell them for like 2 million an egg/shard@@Verallz
got tired of farming this it is pathetic .. can't even get it in a season ..uber unigues are not meant for people to have fun just to make you grind till your eyes and fingers are sore ..it's pathetic ..
@markdang3379 easily. I've done T100 using only puncture with Andariel's. However, I recently switched some aspects around to accommodate Shako and I'm even stronger now. T100 is a joke
What item or mechanic would you like for me to make a similar in-depth analysis about?
Inner calm aspect analysis if it scales with higher levels of blood of tears glyphs pls! I have a strong feeling it actually scales with that!
@@projectx9553 Just make sure to have all resistances at 70% and you don;t die instantly ever.

watch his armor video. you'll understand a lot better.

I'm fine with farming but the ubers take way too long if you want to get them the legit way. Yes you can buy the mats for real money and be done with it, but that's pay 2 win and I refuse to support pay 2 win. So I have to farm the mats all by myself, every season again and again.
The fact that I need these ubers to be somewhat competitive is just sad, without the items you're not strong enough. It feels like Blizzard removes a problem but also adds new problems with these idea's.
2700 duri runs. 0 sellig.
How have you done so many? I'm curious because I can't farm that many mats.
@@VerallzI would assume group runs to share mats and buying mats.
@@Verallzpeople buy mats by trading gold, yellow ancestral gear, or real money. I chose the latter and bought about 1000x duriel runs for about $60 bucks during Black Friday on a site. Got shako and melted heart after 800~ runs
if you have enough gold you can just buy the mats. I got 60 of each for 500 million gold. Players usually sell them for like 2 million an egg/shard@@Verallz
@@Verallzwe all know how.....
got tired of farming this it is pathetic .. can't even get it in a season ..uber unigues are not meant for people to have fun just to make you grind till your eyes and fingers are sore ..it's pathetic ..
first
ah muor
Was SOOOOO let down by shako......Andariel's is FAR better on my rogue (lucky's build)
can you do nm100 with it?
@markdang3379 easily. I've done T100 using only puncture with Andariel's. However, I recently switched some aspects around to accommodate Shako and I'm even stronger now. T100 is a joke
