PartTimeExile's Notes
Cortex and his Buddies died a lot quicker than expected. The build is at around 6 Million Base DoT DPS as I recorded the Cortex Video and about 9.11 Million DoT with Punishment and Vaal Righteous Fire.
I recorded Distant Memory Bosses about 5 Days Prior to doing Cortex. Ive been on a different work schedule so I have been adjusting to it for the next couple weeks. Also, as you see in the video I changed from the Shield to another +2 Wand setup for Max DPS capability but... the main reason is is not enough Sockets for Shield Charge.
I was going to go Swift Killer and switch the Eldritch Implicits for Frenzy Charge per X Seconds but as I was mapping I came to realize One Step Ahead is too OP so I will be going away from that setup and instead will be forced to spend 20+ Chaos per Essence to hit decent DoT Multi Rings.
