It's the part of the league where I sell all my stuff and try out weird ideas. I have the beginning of a build and I am at a wall, or crossroads more like. on how to progress and i would like to hear you guys opinion.
The core concept i wanted to try out is:
ralakesh boots with+1 endurance corruption , Arn's Anguish, x2 synth endurance rings (got downgraded to just one +1 endurance precursors and a ring of kalandra due to budget) , a +2 endurance charge staff, and charms which give % life regen rate and, most crucially, 6% inc aoe per endurance charge
Be jugg, another 6% aoe per endurance charge making it 30 (well 24 atm, build cant kill KITM)
and some more life regen rate.
?? That's it. My first idea was RF, but so many items just dont give HP or RF damage as well as the near-double hit damage from all those brutal charges is completely wasted.
As of right now I slapped some RF +fire trap and some DOT scaling on the build but it already looks bad damage-wise.
Problems: Clear speed is still under-utilised I think. With all this insane AOE scaling I assume explody is the way to go, but because of ralakesh being the core I lost Maven boots. Asenath is kinda working, since i hit everything with leap slam so they explode, but the explosion damage is low, and also no scaling other than the beginning of phys to fire+ignite chance. I think maybe an elevated explody chest can help , but I dont know how that would look defense wise. Currently I'm using a doppelgangers (really just slapped it on for defenses)
Damage. Rf is around 180k right now, and with all the items being fixed in place I dont see it getting much higher, except with investment. Also since I need the staff for +2 charges I lose the shield slot for defenses. (That staff is really not good , just a proof of concept and its missing fire DOT multi cause i filled up the suffixes with the wk orb. Some other items are just put on cause I have nothing better.
Better fittign skills (more like builds?) for the concept exist.
For example a fully charged PB of Dissipation is 9 meters radius currently, and there is nothing much dictating I should go fire daamge anyway. So a lightning hit-based build could maybe be and option, either with phys explode (asenaths+explody chest) or a regular gloves with inpulsa+shock spread.
At this point I should mention that I am running t2-3 beast essence deli until I figure out what to do. But even for these t2 white maps my damage is bad. The skill layout is bad (i dotn think purity of fire+elements is the way to go lmao)
Some other, failed ideas: blade vortex (doesnt scale with aoe wtf), any melee build (would need different weapon so no +2 charges), any other ascendancy with frenzy charges and replica BOTB (would probably fuck my defenses tbh, but it could use the affliction charge belt for DOT damage at least, although I dont know how to set up that char tbh), Ashes of the Stars (really , an amulet that literally only gives my RF base radius and has less damage then almost anything else? no thanks lol)
I want to keep the endurance charges, since they are great in large quantity against physical DOT damage (played too much pathfinder this league and getting shrekt by KITM and the agony thing that sometimes spawn in the wildwood) and the large AOE but otherwise I dont care anymore what I play , which means the build probably doesnt have to do ubers but its an upside if it can. Ideally I'd go blue altar MFing since that is what i did for most of the league but this build is VERY farm from that.
I also plan on ditching the Balbala timeless jewel that I currently only use for perma quicksilver and ruby flask, and put something better on. I think probably Xibaqua (divine flesh) is the way to go since I have good resistances on every front. but I dont know how a good flask setup would look like then.
Another possible thing is a determination sublime vision(for the 14th charge), that would require me to use Determ and nothing else, probably nuking my damage. Could get into someting like MOM though, and use determ with eternal blessing + spectre auras
Anyway, sorry for the long wall of text. that was my idea and I would like to hear you guys opinion, is it bad idea, or can it be saved? I think there is a lot of room for improvement, for example bloodnotch+progenesis (i have those), although I dont know how I will get to pathfinder levels of flask effect, probably impossible.
