So my ruckus league plan is crit spectral throw
tree shows
acro/phase acro, EV/176% life, MoM, ondar's guile, tons of crit chance/multi, proj damage and AS. Plan on going for physical, and auras will be herald of ash + hatred
Only key item will be good daggers and lightning coil
I do worry about trying to run MoM. I will have some mana stuff on tree but it's not the typical huge mana pool for MoM. I did purposely get the 2% physical mana leech node though, and I might try to grab some other mana leech on tree. In fact mana in general will probably end up being a secondary focus on a lot of my gear.
has anyone ran a build like this? if so, opinions on hardcore viability? I am trying to force MoM into the build because I know that people are gonna need to have crazy defenses to survive in this league
my backup plans are like a blood magic/RF/tanky as shit lgoh cycloner, or a RF/tanky as shit fire discharger
Also, an important question: Is vaal pact a necessity for spectral throw crit?
My plan is RaizQT RF incinerator because i want to shogun while it's still possible and i never really did it.
I even reserved my character name : SHOTGUNNING_WHILE_I_CAN

You can post a character name here to get invited if you wish. Just be clear that you are looking for a LIVE invite not a BETA invite.
I think it may be hard to PM an officer in-game since they are mostly in beta ATM lol.
|
alright sure, i'll pm a character name on friday/saturday
im not paying for or playing half a beta so its live only :~)

I'm thinking crit ele cyclone. You only need a dagger with high crit, crit multi, weapon ele. High end would be a vagan dagger with elreon multi mod on it. You get all of your dps from aura's, heralds, and gems. So no gear requirements.

I wonder how hard it will be to only play during the crazy weekend period. Can I even beat normal ^_^

How many days will be left in the league when somebody gets elreon to level for multi mod though...

reach 18k actual dps ((dmg of each 200ms bolt*5)/cast speed) on a non-crit lvl17 ball lightning before buffs (rallyingcry/atziriflask)
using wrath and thunder herald
not bad for non-crit!

That is not an acutual dps that is a best-case or potential dps ... but yea ball lightning is the new arc.

yeah its not actual just a rough general one, its true dps is tricky to calculate as other factors other than simple damage and cast speed come into play...
and what i stated is not really the best case dps, in fact with higher aoe and/or size of enemy the dps would actually be higher! 
or how your dps would actually drop if you attack an enemy which is against the wall. pays to think more than over obsess paper dps.

The character I'm currently playing has 1033 tooltip dps!
Tooltip forever!!!

Unless Arc is severely nerfed, I think I'd probably still play it in favor of anything else. I never played any char as long as my Arcer. Auto aim just is that fun for me, it makes the repetitive mapping a lot more fun. Though Ball Lightning does seem really fun as well.

Well yea, I just hate terms like "actual dps", "true dps" etc. ^^'

Yea that's why i prefer to measure the efficency of a build by clearspeed and/or special objectives (tankiness, atziri, aura-bot etc.)

Well afaik Ball Lightning got buffed but ofc Arc will still be played. I didn't meant to say that either one is far superior, just that ball lightning seems pretty easy to build and does plenty of damage. I guess you could call it cookie-cutter ^^

Yes right now Ball Lightning seems really strong, but I heard someone say GGG will nerf it soon? Not sure how that'll look and not sure if it is true, I'm not really following reddit (which is where most infos come from).

Think I'll play crit flametotem, gotta shotgun while I still can, and the safety of using totems is probably going to be useful.

For going flametotem, is it really worth going crit? I have seen many just go "standard" flametotem.
I will for the first time go flametotem in the ruckus league  after 1100 hours of PoE..

more pertinent things to look at, like quest rewards (they actually think its ok wtf) and bugged jewels (not even bother to hotfix for some reason)

its crit chance is only 4% so you need some serious crit gear to help it be good.

On HC I wouldn't, it's strong enough without. But sure, if you want to kill bosses in a few seconds, you go crit.
EDIT: It hits fast though and with Assasin's Mark the crit is quite decent, even if you only manage like 25% crit.

Dunno whether I will play the one month at all. I will probably play some beta this month and may play the one month on full ruckus weekends.

I haven't tried FT before either, but I figured crit would be the best way to shock reliably (with Three Dragons). It also scales the damage from both your heralds and added chaos, so I'd think it's more efficient, but I haven't done the math.

I found my build for 99% damage reduction.
Think I will stick with abit more HP, and skip the crit in this league.
Best build EU
