Really appreciate your work bro i'm actually playing this build and the only problem that i encountered are Omnitech and stun (i am actually playing the 1st version of the build). Did you lose some dps with the new version with stun avoidance? Can you give us more feedback on this version ? Thx man you rock

I am running this and am enjoying it...

Because of all the corruption fun, I've found a temporary 5L chest to use until 75 when I can use Atziri's Splendour, which I threw another ~300 fusing at to try to 6L over the 5 I had *straightface* awesome. I know, RNG, 1500, blah blah. Went to buy another one yesterday and they jumped from 85c to 1.5ex lol.

Anyways,

Since I will likely be operating with a 5L for the foreseeable future, I think I will be spending 5 temporary points on bleed chance (down by VP) and put on Damage on Full Life instead for more damage at a temporary setback on the passive tree.

Off question: Enlighten 4 is required it appears. When I do maths (.92*1.15) I get 105.8% mana reserved with a 3. Enlighten 4 is pricy. I dropped Herald of Ash and kept with Hatred. This is the correct choice, yes?

My true question is about ascendancy choices outside of the comments above: What order did you take them? I did Weave the Arcane and Swift Killer for normal/cruel, but I will be running merc shortly and am unsure whether I should take offensive (harness the void) or defensivish (Patient Reaper).

I am thinking that Harness the Void will definitely help out, as that is a hell of a lot of hits that could potentially roll ~100% extra damage.

Thoughts?

Hi,

I'm trying to do my own version of your build, but i'd like to know what you think about the main changes I did. Something you should have in mind is that I tried to have more sustain damage, I felt like your build already clear pretty well so I could remove some spike power to gain survivability/sustain damage.

First, regarding ascendancies:

- Maybe I'm wrong but I don't value that much the instant recovery of Patient Reaper because it only works while maping and not in many boss fights. I guess the instant recovery is the main reason you took this (the increased recovery is realy nice too), because the increased dot is useless.

- I choosed to remove Swift killer. My thought here is: Ok I'll loose one frenzy one power and the increased which is fairly huge I agree. But I plan to use Intuitive leap to get both overcharged and Melding (Maybe Dreamer? but no reason to take it so far). This way I can have my charges like you have with the ascendancy. But here I loose some damage obviously, but against bosses I'm only loosing one frenzy and some increased damage because I have nothing to sustain the power charges.

- Why I am doing this ?? I'd like to use Ghost Dance and Escape Artist. Those ascendancies give more defensive stats, and help for the stun avoidance struggle, and I think this could help to survive against end game bosses/fights. I also hope I can have some DPS back with the items I'll use to benefits from the Escape Artist ES and Evasion conversion.

This leads to my gear tweaks: The goal here is to find a way to use Escape Artist at its best, and find some damage back because I loose some in the ascendancy.

- The body armour: I'd like to play Bronn's Lithe. This chest has a fairly good amount of evasion, which will give me ES, and give me some damage back. I know this chest is almost never played in Flicker builds because it almost doesn't give any defensive stats, but with Escape Artist it does, and it gives me some damage I lost on the ascendancy (and those damage are more sustainable). I also thought about fox's fortune, but I think this is not a good choice because I'll loose too much damage.

- The Helmet: Enlighten 4 is hard to get. Also, I'd like again to use Escape Artist here, and maybe have some more damage => The vertex. If I socket the aura setup in it, I can have a lvl 21/22 Discipline for more ES pool, and more damage through Hatred and HoA, and I can use a lvl 3 Enlighten.


I also done some minor tweaks in the tree but no need to compare those, it's just different choices for different QoL.


Thanks for reading, I know it's a long post, I'd like to know what you think about it and what I might missed in your build, and maybe I have just some stupid ideas, just tell me :D!

I have had the Bronn's Lithe escape artist Idea, but you will spend exalts after exalts, getting the 5 red sockets on there. Vorici calculatro https://siveran.github.io/calc.html says you need 7800 chromes on avg to get the colors, which is about 9 ex right now. And you'd have like 250 less ES on your chest compared to Splendour. If you take escape artist, I suggest getting a ev/es hybrid chest, or ev/es splendour.

If you can't get Elighten 4, you wont be able to color Bronns lol. Also, you can get a mana reservation helm enchant/ 1 tree node/ enlighten 3/corrupted jewels to figure that out. lv 4 isnt necessary.

Yerah I know it's gonna be hard to get, but at least if the only real deal it's to color bronn, I can do it. Also I already have a nice amulet with reduce mana reservation.


Overall I understand what you say, I guess it's realy treaky to go my way, I'll think again...
