3.8 New Queens Escape + Baron - super fast physical skeletons + zombies
|
Recorded red elder fight with ssf version of this build, not using the blasphemy + enfeeble because curses are pretty sad vs bosses nowadays. I think the combination of purity of elements + arctic armour + aspect of crab works better.

" Any tips on getting those corpses and keeping them alive? In the crazyness of flashback I'm finding my spectres die pretty easily on huge packs. And then it's a pain to find them/target the correct corpes. Zombies don't feel as tanky as I'd like either. Hitting lower red maps and I'm concerned what will happen as I approach t15 and 16. |

" Act 2, The Old Fields -> Carnage chieftains Act 6, The Southern Forest -> Host chieftains Use Desecrate to spawn corpses Now open map with the highest tier you can, the best place some master area in t16 map, now when you use desecrate it will spawn also the monsters you own, now you can resummon carnages and hosts with the highest monster level. You can use 4l zombies in the baron helmet (+2 to zombies is huge) kind regards Editado por útlima vez por Binbiniqegabenik#4454 en 19 may. 2018 16:22:23

" Wow. Your gear is so good for SSF, I'll have to try aspect of the crab. Can I add these links to the build guide? |

Here's my version I did in flashback league https://pastebin.com/KAmPsfQK. Things I did differently is:
- I use only two chieftian (frenzy) spectres - 12 skeletons and 14 zombies - aspect of the avian - skin of the loyal with empower lvl 4 for zombies (I wanted test the avian chest that doubles the buffs of avian, however I couldn't link it so far), that means zombies are 26lvl, would be 28 if you happen to have corrupted skin of the loyal with +1 to gems. With that chest I got 7k life anyway. If you take a look at my queen's escape it has perfect rolls :) I did all content except for HOG and uber elder. Shaper was super easy, not single zobmie died.

" yeah sure, that's why I recorded :) Here is full shaper run video - https://youtu.be/j1McySo7OwE It took a little longer than expected because the second void guy was close to the wall and my skellies could not surround him, that's why one spectre died and I lost some time while trying to summon carnage again. In this video I'm using 21/20 skellies, but I did shaper without dying with 20/20 gem before. kind regards Editado por útlima vez por Binbiniqegabenik#4454 en 20 may. 2018 4:20:57

I went back to Bestiary and played a bit with my version of this build with Kitava Heralds so they apply bleed (Summisio in profile - 6,6k life, 182k dps per skeleton 40% phys reduction with zombies and Cwdt + IC). PoB version includes Skeletons lvl 21 gem and Bloodlust 20, so skelly dps is around 210k (profile one has skellies 20 and bloodlust 13 as i was only playing for an hour or so recently).
PoB: https://pastebin.com/XnVQFK8q I have invested few points into reduced mana reservation and haste with Watcher's eye phasing is awesome for this build. With better gear (especially jewels), you can easily hit one more zombie, 7000 life and 250k dps per skeleton. I am also missing 6link on sword, so spectres may be even better. I gave up on Curse on hit as it does not provide anynthing special for bosses with their reduced curse effectivness and they are melting anyway. Ball lighting is only needed for EE. I will definitely push this build for Incursion and try to optimize it even more as it is really fun to play. I will also test if Kitava Heralds spam their abilities more with Blood magic gem - if so, then putting it as 6th link might be really good, as it will allow me to turn one spectre to Carnage Chieftain for frenzy charges and it will push skelly dps to 350k with good gear). Thank you everyone for your great ideas! Editado por útlima vez por elmiq#5983 en 21 may. 2018 9:10:59

" Thanks for posting, I added it to the POB links. That certainly is a lot of damage, but there are a few tradeoffs to get there: 1) You must ramp up the damage with ball lightning, haste and hatred aura range, flesh offering, bleed must be applied. 2) I don't know what damage the kitava's heralds do, (it's probably very high), but you are giving up about 600K AOE dps from the zombies to get there. 3) Even with 80% reduction, enfeeble still provides 7% less accuracy, 6% less damage and 6% less crit multiplier. Add in the life and strength nodes going to auras and it's a decent chunk of defences you lose. 4) You sit at 10% movespeed and no movement skill. Tough to stay alive if you move slow! |

I had to chance to play OP build.
I have done every map, only maps I had problems are 3. 1) Uber Atziri, got her down to 30%. I kept being one-shotted. 2) Stupid Halls of GM. I cleared 3 rooms, but the fourth one was very stupid hard. 3) Shaper Map, where you combine the 4, level 16 maps. I didn't understand the mechanics. Over time, I should be able to do it. I got him down to the second phase. Everything else was almost too easy. My current hp is around 7.9k. I would like to have around 10k but I do not see that happening. This build will burn down bosses fast, but you need to be able to stay alive long enough to do it. I need to improve my mechanics. |
