Divine Blast of Radiance Slayer - Fun new skill, Ubers on 80ish div budget.

Path of Building: https://pobb.in/rvXYj4JERiVg

This was my second build of the league after abandoning my starter quickly because I didn't enjoy the play style.

The new divine blast transfigured version leaves (up to 3) lingering orbs that pulse damage at a base rate of once per second, scaling with attack speed.

Mechanically, the skill is quite nice, because it is fully ranged and almost plays like a dot, as if you need to move (which this version rarely does due to Slayer tankiness), the orbs will continue dealing damage while you are dodging.

The skill has built-in 50% fire conversion, so going full conversion with elemental scaling is the obvious choice, and Emperor's Vigilance (foulborn) is the only option for crit shield skills.

One annoyance with the skill is that it has neither projectile nor melee tags, and it has the orb tag, which means you can't use trinity with it sadly, and many other strong supports don't work, and there is no good way to get rage. With such limitations, a generic damage scaling path is the obvious choice, so frenzy stacking on Slayer felt like the right way to go.

Defenses are sorted with capped spell suppression, fortify (granted by shield charge), and 9 endurance charges from masterful form, plus of course all the usual slayer stuff.

I'm getting the rest of my conversion with gloves, using lightning conversion for shock, and then using hatred for big damage plus freeze and chill.

You can of course go harder with higher investment, like the shield crush slayer also on the front page right now, using frenzy charge rings, using other sources of conversion so you can grab frenzy charge gloves, etc., but I like to keep my builds pretty reasonable, and it's already fine for doing ubers.

Overall, the skill is somewhat hindered by bad tags and relatively low base damage, but I've had a blast playing it, and I think the nice mechanics easily make up for the downsides.
