ArbitraryElk's Notes
I am trying to make some kind of trickster build leveraging CI, Aegis, and Iron reflexes to stack a ton of armour, block and max res. My attempt thus far is using lightning trap for damage but I don't know that this is the right direction. I can only crack about 1 mil damage (I think it would really be at least 2 mil thanks to nimis) but I am hoping to get a bit more. I don't know how well POB calculates lightning trap damage so it could be a fair bit more. I would guess so far this build would cost about 50 div or so but it is hard to say.
My main thought is that I am not really leveraging the armour for damage so I could pivot into an attack build with replica dream feather but I don't know if I am stacking quite enough armour for that. Probably if I stick with lightning trap I should find the points to fit in some cluster jewel but I am stretched pretty thin trying to fit in everything. I have also tried a spell blade setup leveraging hyaon's fury since we stack frenzy charges but it didn't seem to do as much damage as a normal wand setup.
The blue nightmare setup at the top feels like a lot of points to be using. I could try to go for versetile combatent instead and but it seems hard to get much attack block. There is a similar build using flicker but I am not super interested in that. Ideally this would become something capable of delving fairly deep and doing ubers.
I would love any thoughts on how to get more damage out of this. Ideally without compromising too much on defense
