Hi guys, today I wanted to share the Charge Stacking Penance Brand Trickster Build.
You can find a video guide featuring and extensive showcase against most of the end-game Uber content and a comprehensive explanation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gXTqGNbHBM
This build is excellent for Uber Bossing, Invitation Farming, Simulacrum Farming and nearly any other form of difficult end-game content. It features 100mil+ pinnacle boss dps (30mil+ uber boss dps)
- Offense - We convert the penance brand damage fully to lightning and focus on scaling cast speed as well as critical strike chance and multipliers. This build reaches 12 power and frenzy charges which give a massive amount of crit chance, spell damage, generic damage and cast speed.
- Defense - Defensively this build relies on a pool of 5k energy shield, 67k evasion, 100% spell suppression chance with 56% spell damage reduction, complete ailment immunity, complete chaos damage immunity through Chaos Inoculation, increased maximum elemental resistances, 5 endurance charges, over 500 ES regen per second, over 1000 ES leeched per second with Trickster overleech, ES recovery on hit and Ghost shrouds.
- Mobility and Utility - With 12 frenzy charges and other attack speed increases we utilize incredibly fast shield charge as well as over 200% bonus movement speed which comes in part from the Restless Ward chest piece. The One Step Ahead Trickster passive also makes us immune to all action speed slows, such as Delirium hands.
- The playstyle of this build is incredibly comfortable. It's a brand build that does not use the Swiftbrand Support which allows us to have a very long brand duration, lasting about 10 seconds detached and 10 seconds attached. This allows for constant damage uptime on bosses while we are free to dodge mechanics or press /dance and breakdance while the boss is melting.
At the time of writing this guide, the total cost of all gear with charms, jewels, flasks, gems etc. was approximately 1000 divines. With the affliction mechanic this league it's easier to get this currency than any other league before, but it's still an expensive build and not a league starter.
I've had a lot of fun playing this build and it's definitely one of my favorites of all time. I've never played a more well rounded bosser that was so fun to map with and do all content in the game.
