[3.4] ARC totem hierophant. End game bosses ready
" If I can cap resist I will use Devoto's Devotion. | |
" You should try to avoid using "best" because he might read and nerf it to the ground next league (j/k hehe) | |
" It's REALLY nice to see arc have it's moment though. I've always loved the skill just hated the output. I'm very happy it's performing now. | |
" I did read it. Arc has an inherit chance to shock and with conductivity there is additional chance to shock. Wouldnt that mean we would be shocking bosses still without using EF? Because its % chance to shock its outside critical shocks. Is EF used because each arc hit is small so the % damage increase is small? Last edited by lurker14ownz on Jun 6, 2018, 10:05:46 AM

" With the shock changes and what you are saying, combined with arc doing a lot more damage this league, there is a possibility. It might possibly be argued to use crit damage/inc crit instead. I'm still in the process of finishing quality and hitting 20 on my gems, I can personally test it out at some point. It's just controlled and ele focus are MORE damage multipliers. It's very hard to beat that. A small shock wouldn't be enough to overtake it, but if we get bigger shocks it may just do that. I do have to say, I personally enjoy on crit builds using inc crit/multi gems when mapping. It just feels smoother typically. Last edited by coaa on Jun 6, 2018, 10:09:30 AM

" It's not a matter of chance to shock or critical hit (100% chance to shock), it's a matter of damage dealt. From wiki: "The base duration of shock is 2 seconds and the damage increase scales relative to the amount of Lightning damage dealt to the enemy's maximum life. [...] Hits below the minimum threshold of 1% effect are discarded, effectively requiring a hit of 0.2% enemy maximum life."
--- Some numbers ---
EF setup deal an average hit of: 226 667
Let's replace EF with Power Charge On Critical (20/20). This is the best gem after EF. Let's take Shaper's life: 20 190 261 We deal an average hit of: 188 852 (first hit) this damage is 0.94% of shaper's life and will apply a shock of 7% increased damage (considered that ARC 20/20 has a +29% effect of shock and from tree +10% = +39% effect). following hits will be: (188 852)+7% = 202 071 this damage is 1% of shaper's life and will still apply a shock of 7%. Results: EF = 226 667 PCoC + shock = 202 071 Vs "weaker" guardians (9 537 659 life) the DPS is quite the same of EF. Last edited by Gegemo on Jun 6, 2018, 11:20:35 AM

Current gear @ 91. Amazing build! Working on farming the 2x Shimmeron wands. Hoping to kill Shaper and Red Elder for my first time with this build. | |
