I'm thinking about trying something along the lines of the following for spectral helix - https://pastebin.com/CwUpK5df
Have a feeling I might regret this because the clear looks like it's going to be clunky (I gave up on league start reap half way through leveling last league), but here are my thoughts:
- Max block will be nice this league with all of the defensive losses from flasks. It also helps with spectral helix, since you need to jump into packs and wait for the blades to spin.
- Spectral helix has good damage scaling at 160% (vs 100% on spectral throw). It should be especially good for bosses if each projectile can hit more than once. Should be nice with a standard impale setup.
- I'm assuming fork/chain won't work with it, so you probably switch in faster proj for slower proj when you're not bossing.
- Before you have enlightens, you probably drop the maim from flesh and stone and de-level precision a bit. I'm having a hard time juggling how to fit pride in vs other auras. I think you basically need the others except herald of purity, which is the plug instead of pride. If the build goes well, then you probably want to add pride with a watcher's eye though.
- It's a good candidate to switch to Farrul's Fur and pick up frenzy charges eventually.
- You can path to crystal skin for ailment immunity (4pts) and cover the rest on gear/anointment if you want, depending what they end up changing.
I'd appreciate any tips on pathing. This is the first time I'd be playing a Glad in all my years, but I think it's finally time to make a max block character given the changes in 3.15.
