You know how i said i wanted to experiment and make mistakes 2 posts up? Turns out the wiki +3 bow crafting guide is not completely foolproof :D ... Apparently phys to cold is not an "attack mod" so you can get that as a mod with shaper bows. It's not mentioned on the wiki so i was unaware untill now there was even this kind of consideration.

I'm mostly out having given away most of my currency in the guild stash.

But run a map or two every so often. Found a shaper dagger that does more dps with my arc totem build and threw another dagger with it and it does more dps but much less survivability. The wand I use is a unique I made beast crafting at like lvl 2. It blinds nearby enemies which has been really nice. Phase run into a large pack and everything gets blinded and drop totem and move on. Such a cheap wand too lol 20c at 30% quality, I think it was 2c a couple of days ago. Cleared all the tier 14 maps and no interest in doing the shapper or uber elder. Of course I only have 3,400 hps didn't realise how much the eclipse solaris helped compared to going with the daggers with more dps.

Thanks to Korrupt Korrupt I rolled a ranger and picked up some cheap leveling uniques plus a Quill Rain. Doing a Toxic Rain / Herald of Agony pathfinder build. Lot of fun so far, have like 50% move speed, lol

First build I've used phase run and so far really likeing it. Have regular self cast phase run and cast on damage taken. Little speed and run thru stacks of mobs that used to get annoying.

Anyone know if Hiltless is bugged? I'm pretty much done with the league, have been for weeks, HoWA occultist was already just a fart around character. But now I'm going full meme.

I'm building around perma IC, using Hiltless, Gluttony, and Jugg's Unflincing to generate enough endurance charges to keep it up most of the time. I just can't seem to get Hiltless to proc CWDT! I'm going around smacking zombies with heavy strike and it never goes off. WTF is going on?

Reflect is weird. The fact it's "reflected" damage is the problem. However you can use the helmet Scold's Bridle to damage yourself if you Gluttony isn't doing it for you.

Nice build, was going to ask you what you were running. Our boss killer last league used Toxic Rain as a pathfinder and before the quill rain nerf was having a heart attack with us how good and easy the skill scales for end game.

LMK if you need anything wacky, going to play one last build to finish 40/40 so ill be on a ton after this week.

Doesn't matter much, I was really dumb and forgot that you can't proc IC from physical damage taken(Gluttony or Hiltless, if it worked) while IC is up, thus guaranteeing some non-insignificant amount of time you will have practically no physical damage resistance.

Jugg, however, can easily sustain endurance charges needed for permanent IC if you put it in your weapon and get the "Cast socketed spell" veiled affix. Not sure if it is worth it. Maybe some HoWA Jugg that uses a shaper mod to scale INT -> Lightning instead of HoWA? Like, how often does phys damage get you killed?

Next up on the meme docket: HoWA occultist but with Brutus Lead Sprinkler. Potentially even viable!

I like the *idea* of HoWA occultist. I'm just a bit sick of clearing maps with Molten Strike. And it's not even Molten Strike's fault, really. Ancestral Call is just too good. I'd rather they made the support gem than not, but damn if it doesn't make a whole ton of melee skills feel samey. Your clear skill is this amorphous blob regardless of its actual name.

That said, Ancestral Call has a limit. Literally. You can't achieve the screen-wide clearing that you can with other skills like Tectonic Slam. Hence why I want to try BLS. Though, there is Wild Strike. Just requires a white socket for hot swapping. Wonder why that skill has fallen out of favor.

Molten strike looks powerful as hell and I’m really tempted to use it but I’m loathe to give up the tec slam clear even though it’s not great for single target. Molten doesn’t look bad clearing but it’s nothing like sprinting around behind a giant wall of fire. The itch is there though and I’m getting close to rolling up something that can roll a boss in seconds.

It was pretty good the last time I played. I had a witch that dropped like 3 flame totems with a horde of zombies all sperging out and those flying skull things. Basically as long as you didn't get lazy and die to the alpha strike you cleared the entire screen. It wasn't technically the best witch build, but it was super easy and super cheap. Wasn't very good for dominus or piety farming though.

That was years ago though, and totems have been completely re-worked since then. Back when you used to have a totem gem and you had to socket it to other gems to define what it did.
