Crit Ele Split Ripper - Fastest map clearer? You decide! Up to 95 crit

So, i've done some testing on the trees and dps (definetely can be improved)



1.
full_aura_build
utilizing Conquerors efficiency (2% reserve Jewel), Alpha's howl (enlighten3 + wrath, anger, HoI) & enlighten2+HoT, 3 power charges, 3 frenzy charges

hideout dps

possible dps ~ 40-42k (even more with better gear)


pros:
+ 2 lvl22 auras for group
+ Highest dps of I got

cons:
- 2 enlightens
- highlvl needed
- relatively low crit
- sometimes not convinient to use gems (need 4b for HoT+enlighten+CoH+AsMark)
- cannot use BR (no hp regen)

2.
empowered 3aura build
utilizing Rat's nest, using (empower+enlighten+wrath+HoT), Hoi; 3 power, 4 frenzy charges

hideout dps

possible max dps ~ 38k


pros:
+higher lvl of auras
+ higher crit
+ utility of Rat's nest (atkspd, movspd)

cons:
- 1 enlighten lvl3
- cannot use BR (no hp regen)

3.
3 aura build
Rat's nest, Wrath+HoI+Hot; 3 power, 5 frenzy charges

hideout dps ~ 25k
max dps ~ 37k


pros:
+ no grindy gems (woohoo!)
+ can use BR (free atkspd + frenzycharges)
+ high crit
+ utility of Rat's nest
+ easy assasins mark cursing (HoI+HoT)

cons:
- lowest damage (may be my fault, optimization welcome)

Optimizations and discussion welcome!!

Can this build handle HC Tempest? I want to follow a good bow build that isn't going to fail somewhere down the road.


Anyone currently having success with this exact build in Tempest league?

Probably not, this is a glass cannon.

I'm still trying to find a properly optimized tree for this build, there's so many variations. :?

Ugh, can you recommend any solid bow builds I could follow for Tempest? I don't want to theorycraft myself, I just want to play someones build that is proven to work well. =)

Yes it can, I'm doing this build right now. Only adjustments you need to make are full Acrobatics, Scion life wheel and use of either Belly or Kaom's Heart to push 200%+ life.

Me doing the build last HC race dying only at level 92 to complete annihilation:

Also at optimising dude above, the area with Berserking is particularly inefficient imo and is far better pruned and replaced with jewels.

For e.g. why stretch for Berserking when you can just take 3 attack speed nodes left of Shadow nodes?

To Kharantir who linked his gear... where is your frenzy? Or do you only get the charges from blood rage?

Linked gear is for simple 3-aura build, it generates frenzy charges by Blood Rage, so no need in Frenzy (maybe just as a switch for singletarget bosses like Atziri, where you get no kills for BR).
I'll try to test some more variants (thx for ideas of optimization) - have seen 60+k dps

My Gear:


DPS in HO with 3 Auras (Anger, Wrath, HoT) (ICS gem can be replaced with ICD gem):

Spend a few skill points on Int Nods (because of Int lack :/)... Tree can be better optimised i think.

How does Split Arrow without chain or pierce performs against packs? And what about solo bosses (pre patch TShot had ~90-100+k dps against singletarget)

Tested and i think good, haven't tried with chain/pierce yet.
