EPTI don't have too much else to say other than my friend with a thiefs torment clears faster than any other build i've ever seen bar none. Even in high maps. Its literally obscene. He carries a diamond flask for convenience coupled with PCoC. His only issue is ripping to... a lot of things lol. Phys reflect, ele reflect If my ~65% hatred is on, lightning thorns, etc. Even leapslam/chargers can give him some issues. Hatred + crit EK's has some real defensive applications though lol.

Yeah, it's more of a softcore build I think. But with Thief's torment it might be enough Lgoh for Lightning Thorns. Though his dying might also be because he has no Life / Armor? Idk his build, there are some really suicidish builds out there with CoC. I personally try to reach 200% Life with any build plus preferable taking IR. And so far I run Hatred + Grace and am almost maxed on res, only a 4 fire res missing. Though with Thief's Torment i'd need to put Hatred out and use Purity. | ||

Well, can't say I'm too sad. The char was fun to play though, but not necessarily a hardcore build unless maybe with godlike equip! But even then, they say crit builds aren't viable at all in maps. Hmm now I need to see what I'll do, first of all setting back to fullscreen of course. Haha. | ||

 ripppppThe reason crit builds aren't map viable is reflect map mods. The damage is still fine. I think you can actually go life vaal pact with that build though, considering you are at IR (Should be 7 points i think). I kinda want to play nemesis but a) I hate levelling and b) honestly theres too much bullshit in PoE. | ||

Vaal pact... maybe with a 6L so you can put in Life Leech for EK, but if you have just one EK in CoC I'd think the damage isn't that good. | ||

Regardless, ruby + PoF should be fine. You just wont be able to do -max ele reflect maps (which isn't that uncommon, I certainly can't). | ||

 I'm going with a 5L like this: Fireball, Increased Burning, Ele Prolif, Fire Pen, (fastcast or leech). Fireball at level 22 (searing touch) = 350-530 (440 average). Fire pen = 10% increased @20 qual. 85 fire damage from searing touch (5% from perf). 60 spell/fire damage from teh tree (easy to go higher depending on build but still quite a few points). 400 crit multi 440 * (2.55) * (4) = around 4500 damage. Lets say you hit 4 mobs with the explosion, thats 18000 fire damage being reflected @ 18%. 3200 fire damage coming back at you. Reduced by resists thats like 800 life lost without a ruby or purity. Not unmanageable assumint its NOT -max and you don't just pound a bunch of fireballs into them unecessarily. Now, with fire pen and flammability, you could be doing like 175% dmg so actually losing like 1400 life from a single shot. This is fairly worst-case scenario though, I think you are fine. I guess if you hit like 15 mobs or something... (those hiding crabbies come to mind). | ||

Ele weakness over flam is fine though. Qfireball is like 30% chance to ignite, and then qual IBD is another 10 (although 20qual each is rather a lot) so with prolif and crit chance its fairly safe to say you will ignite more or less every hit. Conc effect would also be very strong I think? Or would that lower the prolif radius? Dunno... | ||

Oh god fucking dammit. I just forgot about my ranger after I took waypoint to gardens. Came back just in time to see myself die. Didn't think fast enough to press my seething health flask. FUCK. edit: I would have lived if I hadn't had my alternate bow switched. My quiver gave 37 max health and I had a good amount of health nodes. I say again to you in the words of my father and my father's father: FUCK. | ||

Slower projectile speed on spectral throw means shorter travel distance, so it's still very difficult to make any use of it. | ||
