I looked at the PoB but can you explain why is the damage so damn high?


1. Shimmeron with 5 Power Charges + Assassin's Mark. The flat crit from both sources pushes us to 100% crit in optimal situations, with a diamond flask covering the non-optimal.

2. Skitterbot aura abuse. In combination with Explosives Expert and Hypothermia, our damage output increases dramatically thanks to Chill, Shock, and Ignite providing so many bonuses (and enabling Hypothermia). We usually can't reliably chill bosses due to having afterthought cold damage. Now we can.

3. Lastly: Hypothermia being enabled by being able to chill any monster. So we've switched our helm enchant for +3 pierce, so we can drop that gem for more damage instead of increased damage.

4. Wave of Conviction giving -25% resist due to exposure. I have no idea why this skill on a CWDT isn't more popular, and it's possible I'm missing something.

You can see all this in effect if you switch off the elemental statuses in the configuration menu - the damage will drop dramatically. Same with assassin's mark and power charges.


how are you able to manage not to die with this setup? I feel like without steelskin or anything. youre more prone to taking alot of damage

I've died 68 times this league, so maybe I'm not the best at not dying. Haha.

That said, I found room to slot in a CWDT->Steelskin into my helmet, although the offcoloring was vicious. I can't tell if it's helping or not. :)

Interesting trick with hypotermia... But keep in mind: skitterbots moves with you around 10 pts area, not offscreen, sooo... you need stay close to boses and mobs for using hypothermia bons damage(when enemies chilled).

Also you did mistake in POB calculation. You forgot make a mark in Configuration paragraph "is the enemy a Boss?"
Exposure effect, from wave of conviction, works only when you got hit and cwdt proc, not permanet

Your real Shaper damage only ~166k.(for Shaper or Guardian, without exposure effect)

Also POB didn't include total % penetration. Need to indicate numerical value of penetration in " Configuration" -> For effective dps-> enemy lightning/fire/cold resistance. Especially if you have lightning penetration or ele penetration mods on your gear.
Also no reasons to use controlled destruction in main skill link, cuz skitterbots apply shock and chill for nearby enemies.

I'm also thinking about using Elemental Focus, since Skitterbots were introduced. But then you would have to find another way to ignite bosses, and couldn't freeze and shatter mobs anymore, which is a strong defensive mechanic.

But Elemental Focus would give you quite a bit more damage.

Yes: Battle Cry. That's why I have Enduring Cry slotted in, because I can cast it instantly and therefore always have 3 Endurance Charges up.

Pretty much every itemslot needs improvement. How much currency do you have lying around? So I can make better suggestions.

I won't answer soon, because I'm going to bed now and have to work tomorrow. But I'll write something up tomorrow.
