[3.25] Kitava's Thirst Autobomber - A Mana-Gating League Starter

"
Missing the 2% cooldown recovery (eldritch implicit on boots or on an abyss jewel) is probably the biggest issue, getting a watcher's eye with a better mana recoup roll might also help (it seems minor but getting enough mana recoup is really important for the build).


I tried to rectify the issues but unfortunately it still happens somewhat often.
current setup: https://pobb.in/EAn8Lyiq4ZYp

I've been thinking, does the atlas passive for delve which gives me max res mess with the build causing the spells to take longer to go off? Do I have to hit 22% mana recoup (clarity eye + abyss jewel)? Only other factors would be 5% cooldown recovery vs the 2% I currently have and lack of the sniper's mark 6l.

Worst case I might just swap the inc aoe to energy leech and see if that will give me better survivability lol. When the character isn't killing itself it is very fun to play.
Hi,

Started this league with this build - I think I managed to make it work roughly (the ice version) but I am struggling against bosses to start the chain going - is there no simple way to trigger the chain? Right now I am either tanking some hit or flame dashing on the boss to pray for a crit and a shock, but flamedash is only around 33% crit chance.

Here is my pob: https://pobb.in/4sp1tPbrWczy

Would love some advice.

Best,

The max res definitely could be a problem, keeping lighting res at 75% is pretty important. The only two potential remaining problems I can see would be catalyzing the rings (elemental damage) and getting more energy shield (swap boots for intelligence + strength with cooldown eldritch implicit and pick up the last 10% lightning and cold resistance from a jewel or last suffix on boots). The last 2% mana recoup would definitely help too!

Easiest way is going to be putting a high level storm brand (maybe linked with overcharge) in your weapon swap and waiting for it shock and then weapon swapping back. Long term, when you swap to the energy blade setup we'll have enough flat lightning damage on flamedash from battlemage to make it almost always shock.

I've just built it, while i am missing a belt i can't seem to see what i'm missing, i'm dying even in Blood Aqueducts (I'm probably missing a lot hahaha) could you please have a look?<3

- Also wondering, for the upgrades section, is there a PoB that shows the final build so it's easier to follow the upgrades section?

Profile isn't public so I can't tell for certain (a POB would also work), but maybe you aren't shocking enemies? Could also be that you have less than 100 mana unreserved? Hard to tell without seeing you profile or POB unfortunately.

Really sorry about that, one of the spell setups I recommend didn't account for needing lifetap and spell blade in the links once you transition to energy blade and I'm pretty sure that's causing you to be unable to trigger the spells in Kitava's Thirst. If you use Blazing Salva + Firestorm + Spellblade + Lifetap it should feel better, let me know if it doesn't though.
