? What make you think that, there is a lot of builds on the Main boards that have used AA imbues for years, thrown, repeaters, etc and no nerf, so you should be fine posting it.

BTW this is a brilliant build, thanks for posting.

Ah! that makes sense, well thanks for at least putting it up here. Just in case you pull it down I saved it Smiley



Not to be a dick Yojim, but for the sake of clarity you should know that it was Steelstar who developed and posted this build, not Jakeelala. Just want to be sure credit goes where it's due.

Hey you're welcome for that info about embolden and Arcane warrior that you asked for and I provided.


Oh and by the way, when Yojim posted this to you:

It was pretty clear that he thought it was you who had posted it from your previous interactions.

Don't get pissed at me for clearing the matter up, you have a reputation for trying to take credit for other people's ideas, whether that rep is deserved or not it's your fault not mine.  I can tell you that if Yojim had posted that in response to something I had posted? I would have had the decency to clear it up myself right away instead of letting it lie there like you did.

Thank you very much for the info, it was helpful.

Here's a thrower version I whipped up. I'd love suggestions/critiques

Obviously mad props to Steelstar and anyone else who helped him with this build (forest, ???).



Some quick highlights: (if OP wants this in another thread let me know and I will move it. Up to you)

Ability scores are only accurate (Column S) For Dex and Wisdom. Wisdom might come down from 76 to 74 because not sure if +2 Wisdom from Halcyonia stacks with +3 Devils set (both Quality, anyone know?).

-DC for Terror Arrows is 83 in DC, 86 in EA (Dont think I would ever run in it though).
-Very respectable 64 Dex against trash, 68 against Red Named
-Burstable 258-308'ish RP (In DC) + 10% Consecrate
-300-350'ish Proc damage per Shuriken at 200 RP, boosts higher in DC (Fey + AA Imbue, RP scaling on SA and Harbinger)
-4.5 Averaged missle fire rate = Vorpal every 4.4 seconds,
- -3 level drain on Vorpal (-6 saves)
- 25% Incorp
- 32% Dodge
- 75 PRR/50 MRR

Not too shabby. Could drop 3 DC and run in LD for a lot more DPS.

Actually it's the opposite, I demand lots of recognition by people for others' ideas. I've never once stolen or not attributed an idea to someone. Go ahead and look it up yourself, or don't cast shade on people about things you have to assume and not know.

I wish! Steel and his crew were on it weeks before me, some of us did proof of concept work for him the last few weeks after he finalized.  

Looking forward to trying yours out.

Why do you have frightened? isn't that a debuff rather than active DC? maybe put it separately.  Also why the Elemental arrows? you can't run them with Terror at the same time.

Terror arrows cause Frightened on every hit (same dc as PK) which give -2 to saves

I forgot +2 Spooky Wisdom in my cloak for another DC/2 Wisdom

Elemental is because against red names Terror is worthless. I would swap weapons and robe too for Red names

Right, right makes sense. You should probably list that Frightened as a debuff not in the active DCs. Also as a tip from someone who has been playing this a lot lately, the frighten DC is about 15 less than the actual DC for PK needs to be (turbine....).   

If you are going to run a double-role build with things like the elemental v.s. Terror you should probably list the numbers for each role separately as opposed to lumping them all together like that to avoid confusion. Let the build stand on it's merits you know?

The two fighter levs is a interesting choice, nice. What are you going to do about the feats with completionists prerequisites in progression? it's going to be tricky to fit it all in at levels with out a early caster.

Its just a summary, when the build is final it can have a full write up. DPS is irrelevant with Terror arrows, so anything damage related assume its for Red Names, and stops caring about DC for Terror. That's why I'm not sweating a Wisdom stat LGS offhand instead of ToEE; can swap for RP of ToEE on Red Names or things that can't get Terror'd

I think I can swap Wizard PL at lvl 1 for Completionist at lvl 6?

Nah, Wiz, bard, completionist they are all 3rd or above, how about you switch completionists with quickdraw? 1-3 

You could probably drop Combat archery for Arcane insight, you will only lose 1d2 damage and 2% dodge to get the +6 DC, It is crazy helpful in LE.

Good catch on Quickdraw, that will work.

Yeah i thought about dropping CA or OC for that, but isn't it just like 30 Seconds every 3 minutes? Or does it have a hidden static bonus? Seems not sure it's worth it, but I suppose on an Orange name it might be, but I would just level drain it so fast (I have a Ruby/Crippling flames Shuri on my main now and it's nonstop, constant Woo Woo level drains). It's actually what I use in LE quests for trash since the level drain DPS is good.

I hear that, I picked up Machine of madness yesterday, just blown away by how big of a difference it was making on that redname stuff DPS.

With just those 4lvs of Arty and impluse power of 298 it was still ticking over 380 more damage per sec. On top of that it only takes 2.5-3 blasts to get the bee stacks up to 20 and those spit out a average of 280 every two seconds. With full stacks that's an additional 520 damage per second on average from just the Runearm.  Much better than the Archon Runearm, and that's not counting the crits. The combination of the 30% charge rate and the BE points really does the trick. Normally I hate Runearms but now I finally see why Steel insisted.

Definitely not worth giving  OC for AI, because that multiplier. But for CA with a shuriken? [1d2] for sure. It's really really handy versus the orange and untouched legendary Elite mobs still floating that undamaged buff. Think of it this way, you get to 'pick' when it goes off instead of trying to time the debuffs, and you still have the Debuffs as well. With the EF volley it's not unusual to see a undamaged pack of mobs drop. (oh the wailing of the warlocks is delicious!)

It's an Anniversary miracle....Come on, you know if this was my baby I would be a totally diva bitch about it. It's much easier to be cool and objective about something you really 'like' than it is to be about something you made. 

Or maybe that's just me because I'm socially retarded.

Also only reason I dont have the Frightened Debuff somewhere else is besides level drain it's the only debuff I'd be rocking so I just figured it could go in there. Interesting that it's DC is lower, that's lame, but it's not a deal breaker, it should still statistically go off at least as often or more than the PK, so I'm comfortable with it in the calc.

I'm also realizing I can wear ShadowRobe with +1 Profane DC and wear goggles for +2 Insight, netting another DC.

Yeah that's good, I'll try out Arcane Insight. For a big pack of mobs I could see how it would be more useful.

Very similar to the GxB vorpal. Although kinda different as well because the vorpal as same proc as the Insta-kill, not a random floating 5% like the level drain.  I like that a lot, because on the rare occasion something still has Deathward up it put's them on their ass and I know right away to dispel them immediately.   

Are you going to have enough points to buy dispel shot and elemental? it's pretty crucial in LE.

Oh yeah TF is sweet I love the phase ability. You already had +2 insight listed.

I can make it work I think for dispel shot...I had one AP free, and I can lose 1 from KtA since I'll only use it on red names the duration is a lot less important, 2AP in it is fine. Can really afford to lose an AP anywhere else though


and while I had insight listed, I didn't have profane (it was zero'd out)

Yeah that should work very well, the KTA will still do the same Damage, just cost a bit more over time. Which wont really matter as you will have extra sp for ES, AI, and high wis. Where as Dispel is a must to deal with caster mobs.

Also with Shuriken going just 1 rank of Dispel shot makes more sense, the extra +[w] are not worth rank 2, or 3 and at the same time you should still generate 2-3 dispels per throw so your good to go there for just 2ap.  Conversely the rank 3's  +3[w] is worth it on our GxBs 12d8 and 3 dispells down.
