Hextoad Impending Doom | Progression Guide

__________________________________________________________ Act II - Don't spec Acrimony and Quick Recovery unless you have the option to refund it later ( through Gold or Regret Orbs ) , the nodes feel great in early acts though. Act III - This is where you swap into Impending Doom ( You HAVE to do Library sadly ) and you need 1 Chance Orb for the gem. - I generally swap into Impending Doom after first Lab. Where you can either take Profane Bloom for clear or Forbidden Power for overall higher DPS, mana sustain etc. ( Forbidden Power is better in my opinion ) Act IV - The Mana Mastery at Deep Thoughts notable is crucial for sustaining your mana. And you should sustain your mana completely with occassional press of a mana flask if you get unlucky. Act VII - If you have the option to trade or get Firesong jewel through other means, use it for "free" ailment immunity. You just HAVE to have "reduced ignite duration on you" crafted on your ring/rings. You need atleast 50% so you might have to use it on 2 rings. - If you are in SSF or you don't have Firesong I recommend Purity of Elements for ailment immunity. End of Campaign - This loadout starts to spec into block, I usually start doing that early in Act VIII, starting with Safeguard notable. Vixen Swap - Don't forget that the order of your Curses in Vixen's matters. ( First socket gets overriden ) CI Swap - Most expensive part of the build ( atleast with current economy ), you need Elegant Hubris/Impossible Escape, Whispers of Infinity to solve any mana issues and high ES gear paired with Shaper ES on block shield. ( This swap was roughly 14 divines for me on league start because I crafted gear myself and everything was way cheaper ) - You also need Fortress Runegraft for free 40% Inc ES - Gemcraft Runegraft is a lot of extra damage but it's not necessary Hextoad Swap - You swap to Hextoads after you can afford Balance of Terror jewel with Both Despair and Temporal Chain mod. - This enables you to swap Withering Presence for Vile Bastion in you ascendancy - You just need to press Hextoad every 10 seconds or so. ( not needed for mapping unless you do something like Risk Breach ) My Character - Just a snapshot of my character that was able to do Ubers and practically any content in the game except for Valdos ( didn't do Ultimatum so I don't know about that one ) - It has some extra min max, like ditching Firesong and using a Jewel with Reduced ignite duration on you, clusters, etc. CRAFTING OF ALL THE IMPORTANTGEAR PIECES IS EXPLAINED IN THE VIDEO. __________________________________________________________ Imbued Supports that you can roll on Curses: Arcane Surge Trap Spell Totem Spell Cascade Swift Affliction Lifetap Increased Area of Effect Cast on Critical Strike Less Duration Faster Casting Cast On Death Inspiration Intensify More Duration Spell Echo Cast On Melee Kill Blastchain Mine Efficacy Concentrated Effect Blasphemy Cursed Ground High Impact Mine Impending Doom Cast When Channeling Spell Echo Hextouch Cast When Stunned Unleash __________________________________________________________ Viable Elegant Hubris # : 45680 ( 2 ES, Crit ) , 85540 ( 3 ES ) , 139120 ( 2 ES, Crit ) You can opt for only 1 ES ( Eternal Separation ) for more damage or block if you want to but I will not include them in this guide. __________________________________________________________ When it comes to Watcher's Eye you can use Consecrated Ground (Zealotry) + Crit (Precision) instead of double Zealotry. The Flask Charge mod on Precision can also help you sustain flasks on boss fights. ( You should crit roughly 10 times / s ) __________________________________________________________
