Milkyslice Buildlist

Hey I posted on one of your youtube builds too but ill post here just so its seen :P . Ive been thinking about running a similar build, berserker using hidden potential with wither cwc chaos firestorm... this build seems like it would be faster though... what do you think? Im looking to 40/40 this league, never done that before and would be a huge achievement for me !

CwC chaos firestorm is safer against high tier bosses and might have slightly more singletarget dmg, not sure (havent played both so yeah..).

BV on the other side is WAY quicker since you dont have to cast for 0.3x sec to actually start casting and then wait again until the hell rains down on the ememys.

Just cast a bv from time to time and kill packs as far as you can move ;)


I am also playing cospris malice discharge and that bv char is on a similar speed level, seriously. Its obviously one tier slower in great layouts like strand, but faster on mediocre/bad layout maps.

Isn't that the point of the build? xD



Also-- I managed to near ele weakness cap my res with a few nice jewels :D



One final question before I set off on leveling this character--
Do you think having 1 life, 1 mana, and 1 quicksilver flask is a priority before involving unique flasks?
eg: I just picked up a nice rolled dying sun flask for a steal, and am going to run atziri's promise for sure. Do you think dropping any of the other flasks, or maybe even atziri's flask for something like Sin's rebirth would be a good investment?

i only use a manaflask for multistage bosses where vaal clarity might run out (or after a death). Otherwise the manaleech is enough, just for the preperation for a boss.

Lifeflask is nice for degen ground maps, traps and similar and quicksilver mandatory.

otherwise sins rebirth is worse than atziris promise if you specc flask effect, since it doesnt buff the unholy moght buff (which is then weaker than the promise buff).

Just swap around where you need it. For guardians etc dying sun is not great, would go for something else there.
Silver flask is always nice too for the extra MS and castspeed if you dont need the damage.

so life, quicksilver are set, silver, promise, dying sun, witchfire, sins rebirth, basalt and other utility flasks depend on the content.

I really like those clearspeed flasks (silver, dying sun) for up to t14-15 maps and more defensive ones for higher content.


Those jewels are excactly what you want ;)

So currently leveling my scorching ray hierophant hybrid.



lvl 60 atm with 2k life and 4k es. With lvl 78 (crystal belt) i can finally start to optimize the gear a bit.

having a blast with the build atm.

I dont know which gemsetups i will use in the future.
Maybe i add discipline over time (leveling one).
Cwdt setups in gloves, boots and helmet are probably the case to leech es via ghostreaver and keep liferegen on my life... but maybe i decide for something else...
Gloves seem to be good with cwdt vortex aoe and ball lightning to autotrigger EE with the 20% aoe effect of the hierophant.
Helmet/boots will maybe have a mix of tempest shield (or not) and hard hitting firespells like flamesurge or molten shell to leech with the 2% extraleech and 20% firepen.

the current chest and shield links are set and the weapon will use utility stuff like the stonegolem, orb of storms and something else (discipline for excample).

I have so much life/es/damage to skill its not even funny anymore :p

i hope the cwdt leech will pay off in the long run or i have to switch to es regen.

What interests me the most about this build is how much effective life i can get out of it in the 90s.

20% life converted to ES and 25% mana gained as ES actually scale with %energy shield.
As an excample 5k life get reduced to 4k life, but the 1k missing life is now energy shield.
The 1000 ES are then increased by %energy shield... which is pretty much worth a ggg mirror worthy vaal regalia.

Increased global defences from skin of the loyal work the same as %armour/%evasion/%energy shield om the skilltree/items and are additive.
If i have 200% energy shield on the skilltree, this item raises it to 300%.

Scorching ray seems to be a skill that scales the best with just increased damage, gemlinks, gemlevel, ee, eo and curses. There is not much to invest skilltree wise into damage and those which are useful are also around those hybrid life/es/mana nodes.

So i can effectively get great damage nodes for this skill and mana life/mana/es nodes without too much traveling.

The only problem of scorching ray is that it cannot leech, thats why i try this cwdt stuff.
If it doesnt work i have to rework some stuff to gain more liferegen, go for zelots oath and keep my life up via lifeflasks OR use the new shield that blocks chaos damage while not on low life.

small update:

lvl 70 now, going for merc lab at 72.
2666 life, 7724 es and 818 unreserved mana now

capped resists, all i want atm.

i will start overcapping resists and setting up the gems like i want with lvl 79 (crystal belt level). Same with gear improvement like rings, flasks, maybe helmet and so on... no reason to do it yet without beeing able to equip everything ;)

another update:

lvl 81



Skilltree

Got some serious upgrades

The Plague gyre ring for 4ex, Demon grip ring for like 10 or 20 chaos, belt for 40c, helmet selfcrafted.
The helmet can get way better with some divines

Stats:

3004 life
10568 ES
940 unreserved mana

14512 eHP

17348.7 DPS unbuffed
20222.1 dps buffed (flasks)

178F/206C/197I/60Ch resists in HO

next steps:

ele dmg jewel (2 points left)
Path of the Savant (4)
Unnatural Calm (4)
thats level 91 then which is easy to get for me.

Upgrades in the future:

Some extra chaos resist since i am heavily overcapped on other resists now. The iron ring and shield are upgradeable, other slots get really expensive ;)

Got a videoguide for BV hidden potential now.

Honestly it's not a well made guide in terms of a red line through the guide and overall quality

https://youtu.be/OTuKY9lhRDQ

i get gear faster than levels :D




new ring, shield and gloves.

next step: divine shield/helmet

weapon, amu and chest are not changeable
the rings are now too good to swap out... hard to find anything better with stats i need.
helm and shield es can raise, besides that its hard to get upgrades, too.

the gloves are luck whats aviable on the marked. I wanted fire and chaos with ele weakness. Got cold dmg on atks too, which allows me to procc ee with shieldcharge :)
Hard to find a upgrade too.

only the boots are really upgradeable (and those are already good).
I dont need cold/lightning res on that slot and could potentially cap chaos res there (18 below cap i think it was).

pretty happy with the gear so far :)

I leveled my hidden potential bv to level 96. Plan is to get 40/40, too bad I didn't take care of prophecies when I was leveling, since getting 200 of them if you don't really want to map anymore is little painful :P

Managed to get amulet with curse and life:



Obvious move is to use brew flask instead of aoe vs bosses, and you get triple curse.
But I can't figure how to take advantage of 3 curses for aoe clears. Just drop sin's rebirth or atziri? Feels bad to drop one damage flask to gain another with vulnerability, probably not worth it considering curse area of effect limitations. What would you do if you had +1 curse on your blue amulet?

I also managed to get headhunter, works pretty well, bv with 0.03s cast animation, and turbo run speed definitely helps. Or stuff like 15k extra energy shield, or 150k bv tooltip damage. Definitely fun item for mapping on this build.
