>Help, my character is not lvl 100
Skip jewels or any mastery that grants dps. You can also delete some life nodes if that's what you want.
>Build concept
Reap is a physical skill. We need to convert it to elemental. This time i picked Lightning and also used Doryani's Prototype(DP) body armour.
DP makes the nearby enemies' lightning resist equal to yours. Example: I have -50 lighning res, enemy also has -50 lightning res. Lowest cap is -200.
Using "Melding of the flesh" to reduce my lightning resist so i can deal more dps.You can also use thread of hope jewels, Immortal flesh belt(budget version)
We need to convert physical damage to lightning
Talent tree -> Lightning mastery 40%
Physical to lightning support gem %50
Glorious vanity-Doryani jewel -> Flesh to Lightning %10
Timeless jewels have seeds and random modifiers,hopefully POB has support now. Search for those and buy a correct number.
I used the jewel on upper left side of the talent tree, so i recommend you search for Arcane guarding, Agility, Might.
One important thing, stat passives on the tree are also random, try to avoid +x lightning res cause you lose dps. Find a good jewel to min-max your character.
Inquisitor is character that can easily achieve high regeneration. So we use permanent "Righteous Fire" that grants us huge spell damage.
Our resists are also high thanks to Melding of the flesh jewel, so sustaining RF won't be an issue.
To increase your maximum elemental resistances, you need to pick 1 elemental resist and focus on that. I picked fire and used Purity of fire gem.
If you have a lvl 23 Purity of fire, you get additional max resists. To do that;
Use corrupted lvl 21 Purity gem,
Your weapon needs to have +1 level of all spell skill gems
Your gloves or helmet need an open prefix and craft +1 level of AOE gems -> Put your Purity in that.
Reap is an AOE spell. If you use "Awakened Spell Cascade", you cast 4 reaps together, and they overlap. So the dps on the left is actually only 1 reap.
You have to multiply it with 3-4 to see your actual dps. Depending on the boss' hitbox and position, you sometimes miss some of those.
Try to position yourself a little far from the bosses, do NOT stand at point blank range, cause you miss reaps.
>Good stats for the build
Reap is a physical spell but we convert that to lightning(elemental). So all of these stats actually work. This is also a crit and self cast build.
Cast speed / Crit chance / Crit multiplier / Physical damage / Elemental damage / Lightning damage / Double damage / Physical as extra lightning damage
These are all good stats for this build. If you can find/craft a better weapon that also has double damage, you can achieve more dps than i did.
>How to be ailment immune?
Arcane sanctuary on talent tree -> 25% chance
Shield mastery in Arcane guarding wheel -> 20% chance
Boots suffix -> Essence of loathing craft goes up to 35% OR craft %25 from bench
Boots EOW implicit -> Use the correct tier of currency depending on how much more you need
Glorious vanity jewel -> If you're lucky, you can find a jewel that converts a notable to %10 Ailment avoid chance.
>Having problems with mana reserve efficiency?
If you cannot afford lvl 4 enlighten or other expensive stuff, try these methods;
Annoint Charisma
Use small clusters with mana reserve efficiency
Use Megalomaniacs with reserve efficiency for the auras we use
Skip 1 aura? Worst solution ever xD
>Gear section
I tried to use lots of rare items cause Searing exarch(SE) / Eater of worlds(EOW) implicits outperforms older influences on most cases.
If you don't know the mods, check them here ->
https://poedb.tw/us/Modifiers
Make sure you stock some eldritch currencies(red ones, blue ones and also eldritch chaos orbs/annulments/exalteds)
Finding good suffixes on gloves,helmet and boots are important, so feel free to use eldritch currencies to fix prefix on those items.
You need to use a higher tier SE currency so it is dominant compared to EOW.Then use eldritch chaos orbs/annulment/ex.This is actually cheaper on most cases.
This is a Doryani's Prototype build so avoid "All elemental resists" and "Lightning resist" on your items.
If you find a good piece with lightning resist, you can convert that to others by using Harvest craft. Get help from "The Forbidden Trove Discord"
Because we use rare items, i highly suggest you to get life regen, life regen rate and spell suppression chance to make the character tankier.
100% spell suppress isn't necessary. If you have lower budget, just aim for 70+.
Character is gonna be tanky enough but you may need to dodge spells occasionally.
-- Helmet --
Life,resist,spell suppress,life regen rate,life regen,dex(if you still need)
If your gloves don't have open prefix, your helmet MUST have it. So you put purity in that.
EOW mana reservation efficiency so you can reserve more buffs.
SE cast speed provides the best dps imo.
-- Gloves --
Life,resist,spell suppress,life regen rate,life regen,dex(if you still need)
If your helmet doesn't have open prefix, your gloves MUST have it. So you put purity in that.
EOW can be spell suppress(if you don't have 100%) or anything else. Check poedb for other mods.
SE must be "Unnerve enemies on hit" cause it is the best for dps.
-- Boots --
Life,resist,spell suppress,life regen rate,life regen,dex(if you still need)
Movement speed is number 1 stat.
Open suffix for avoid elemental ailments OR use essence of loathing to craft your boots.You can get fractured spell suppress and craft on that.Easy method <3
Implicit options;
EOW must be avoid elemental ailments.
SE can be any resist or action speed for more dps.
-- Rings --
Life,resist,dex(if you still need)
Cast speed and Critical multiplier provides huge dps. You can get fractured rings and use recombinators for double/triple fracture then use essence of scorn.
If you have trouble casting flame dash a couple of times in a row, get rings with open prefixes and craft "-x mana cost to non-channel skills"
-- Amulet --
If you still need dex, get an amulet with dex base.
+1 level of all skills
+1 level of physical skills
Crit multi / Cast speed / Life / Resists
-- Weapon --
+1 spell skill gems(super important, also boosts purity so you have higher resistances)
+1 physical gems
spell damage / cast speed / crit multi / double damage
Get at least +1 spell gems and some other stats. Cast speed and double damage is usually better compared to crit multi etc.
-- Shield --
Spell suppress / +x max res / Life / +1 physical gem / spell damage / lightning damage / Open suffix for double damage
You can actually change the max resist from harvest craft. Example; buy a good shield with +x max lightning res, get harvest craft lightning res to fire res.
If you want to craft your own shield, get 2 different shields(one with good dps / other with spell suppress) and use recombinators.
Naturally, you CANNOT craft a shield with spell dps and suppress at the same time. Cause those mods exist on different bases(DEX and INT)
You have to use recombinators to craft those type of shields, that's why they are expensive.
-- Body armour --
Doryani's prototype. If you want to invest further, get one with corruption.
Reap has "AOE" and "Duration" tags.
DPS-> +2 to level of socketed AOE/Duration gems / +1 level of socketed gems
Defense -> 50% reduced crit damage taken , +1 max res
-- Belt --
Low budget -> Rare belt(stygian vise is best) or Immortal flesh unique belt(it lowers resistances so good dps for Doryani)
You may need to skip "Melding of the flesh" cause it'll be harder to cap your resistances. Play with lower resistances but your dps will be the same.
High budget -> Mageblood(make sure it has 4 flasks, use divine orb to fix it)
>Flasks
Do NOT use Topaz flask or any flask that has +x additional elemental resistances. Lightning resist is bad for Doryani's Prototype builds.
Flask options;
Sapphire -> most end game boss fights have cold damage, this is the best defensive flask you can use
Ruby -> easier to sustain "Righteous fire" and also more defense against fire damage(Uber atziri / Searing exarch etc.)
Granite -> Armour for more physical mitigation
Diamond -> Crit build needs crit, duh!
Quicksilver -> Good for mapping/Uber maven/Uber sirus(meteor phase)
Silver -> Permanent onslaught = More dps and movement speed
?What do I recommend?
Use Sapphire, Diamond and Ruby all the time. Get the other flasks with same suffixes, swap them depending on what you are doing.
Quicksilver -> If you want more movement speed (Mapping, Uber sirus etc.)
Silver -> If you want to kill Feared and other invitations faster
Granite -> If you're against a physical damage dealing boss
Your magic flasks need to have the prefix %25 increased effect. Use enkindling orbs to craft %60-70 effect enchants on those flasks.
Good suffixes for your magic flasks;
Armour
Cast speed
Critical strike chance
3% regen (get help from TFT discord)
Movement speed
>Rare jewels
Good stats;
Cast speed while holding shield
Cast speed
Attack and cast speed
Crit multiplier for spells
Global crit multiplier
increased Max Life
Spell damage / Global physical damage / Lightning damage / Area damage
Any missing attributes or resists
>Watcher's eye
These are the auras we use; Wrath, Zealotry, Determination, Vitality, Purity of Fire
Good ones that I think (search other mods in POB if you want)
Wrath -> Physical damage as extra lightning damage
Zealotry -> Critical strike chance
Vitality -> Life recovery rate OR %x regen
Determination -> Reduced Crit damage taken OR extra physical damage reduction
