[2.6] CI HoWA ST - Uber / Shaper / Guardians Down - Budget Friendly?

How do you calcualte "increased attributes %" from talisman amulet? I've been searching on google, on forum, can't seem to find a definite answer. For one, I'm considering to upgrade to a decent talisman amulet. Just can't know for sure if it will receive same amount of intelligence as astramentis, let's say 16% increased or 30% increased intelligence.

Also, what are your opinions regarding dual curse? I've figured it out that lowering resistance doesn't help much if monster is well overcapped such as 150% xxx resistance. As lv10 elemental hit on hit provides -29% and CWDT of conductivity provides -29, so if i go dual curse I could potentially get -58% resistance against heavy bosses.

Do you guys think it's worth taking?( cost 6 passive points) for that extra lowering -29% resistance.

Uh started playing with point blank passive ... have to say is a insane boost dps vs boss and vs mobs u don't even feel it

the thing is the return of projectile will have less damage than usual if you have point-blank node, so you are sure it's getting more damage? because lightning dmg varies a lot

It's just your imagination.

However, after hitting an enemy with spectral throw, you don't get any credit for a subsequent hit until 0.3 seconds or more have elapsed.

This means that, if you stand at near maximum range for spectral throw you might not get credit for the return hit - because, 0.3 seconds might not have elapsed since the outbound hit.

To avoid problems, stand as close as you can to your target, safety permitting, especially when using slower projectiles to ensure that you do damage on the inbound, return hit.

It's possible that you were standing at range with slower projectiles and were thus cutting your damage in half, making point-blank look better.

What happend with tree nodes? I wanted to play this build, but i think final tree is broken. :o

Where can i find fixed tree?

Owner abandoned the build, there's no fixed tree. Here's the base for mine:

Offers a lot of options, going Forces of Nature next myself while speccing out of the ES nodes next to Deep Wisdom, also specced into Charisma, explained why in my last post. Alchemist or the jewel slot next to it are more options to consider.

Aside from Brute Force and Fertile Mind, what other jewels do we want for this build, exactly?

And how many other jewel slots have you folks that use this build unlocked?

The main thin you should look for is

Increased Lightning Damage
Increased Damage
Attack speed with claws
Attack speed while Dual wielding
Attack and Cast speed


Secondary i guess its

Projectile Damage
Projectile Speed
% Incresed Maximum ES



The Most you are going to use is 2 i guess, and thats at least lvl 95.

OP states:
Spectral Throw - Greater Multiple Projectiles - Weapon Elemental Damage - Elemental Focus - Lightning Penetration - Added Lightning Damage
This is in order of importance. Drop Added Lightning Damage in a 5L.

Is this still valid after taking arching blows ? That's 8% pen and vinktar's adds another 10.

Also if u are not rich res jewel are very good and cheap if you want to play with the shaper's touch.
And personnaly i prefer faster attack than added lightning
