[3.5] Ghostly Quad Totem HOWA. 10k ES, 77% Evade, 1.9 Mill Shaper DPS
" What about Frenzy to get charges for single target? Anyway I agree that I would be much more comfortable with an Orb of Storms for EO while I run around. I just thought I could also use Frenzy from time to time. Maybe a 4L shield charge - FA - fortify - frenzy to still get a lot of fortify uptime in maps, but for single targets I can refresh frenzy charges and fortify at the same time. |

" Frenzy could get bit too hectic for my taste ;-p But to get more boss dmg I would probaly use a vaal lightning trap... |

" I think hybrid chests will be more popular then the double ES roll Splendour for tricksters as it doesn't have that much evasion on it, it seems many of them are going hybrid and want a life roll as well. The vertex will probably be desirable for them so we shall see if thats actually enough to put a noticeable dent in the market or if the atziri runners just do more runs with their stock selling faster Ok thats fair we just have different impression of what the words were. This build doesn't get unstoppable or those sorts of things so when you hit a floor trap you are locked in place and you won't be setting speedrun records @Eärwing & 5StrokeRoll Blind has a 10% chance to occur. Crit on bladeflurry is 18% and orb of storms would be 15% so you'll probably trigger an overload before a blind in either case Checking this I would have a 0.33 second cast time on orb of storms which then as far as I could tell hits once per second. This means it takes about 10.33 seconds to apply the blind, provided they remain in range of the orb Blade flurry benefits from our attack speed and I had 7 attacks per second so it takes about 1.45 seconds to apply a blind. It has similar range to orb of storms too I did consider using frenzy instead of flurry. Frenzy has 4.4 attacks per second so it takes about 2.3 seconds to apply blind and it would increases the dps on this build a decent amount. However keeping track of charges is annoying and frenzy requires an extra second of attacking plus the extra time of you character making sure they are in direct melee range I considered using ancestral call to help as it adds a decent range to frenzy but I'd need to drop the increased crit gem which lowers the crit chance down to 7% which adds more standing still time to proc everything. Same reason why I didn't drop one of the gems to add increased aoe gem to flurry All in all I decided that flurry was the way to go. Quick hit procs everything and then you are free to shield charge around dodging anything you feel like dodging. In my experience getting that blind on right at the start and halving their chance to hit for the rest of the fight was safer then any other option |

" Thanks for the explanation. Your arguments are more than reasonable to me...so Blade Flurry it is :-) |

"no, we still get 2 additional totems (read pursuit of faith). The nerf is sanctuary of thought. That hurts. Editado por útlima vez por fELonius1#5494 en 28 feb. 2018 16:30:56

" Umm what nerf we only got buffs. They added less mana reserved which lets us make some tree changes. Do you mean the scion change? Cause that is not quoted and doesn't effect the heirophant build |

No, the originally announced (last week) sanctuary of thought with basically free skills and 30% of mana as ES. I’m at work, so I can’t play around with it to see how 10% less reserved compares, but at first glance it sounds like a big EHP loss, with a DPS boost from whatever else can be fit in now.
Edit: my mistake, the way I read the patch notes (sanctuary of thought only had 10% mana res listed) I thought they removed the other things. I see it’s still there. Awesome. Editado por útlima vez por fELonius1#5494 en 28 feb. 2018 18:26:27

I don't understand how do you have overcapped resists? Even with your passive skill tree and gear + jewels combined you only add up to like 40 (taking into consideration the endgame kitava affliction), and according to your pastebin, you have 115% resists on everything, and 100% chaos resistance? HOW?
