Yeah. I've ran the new gearsets for nukers & minmaxed DPS. This board is for memes, the actual discussion was over builds or PMs when it became degenerate. Nowadays anybody who knows anything just comments out of context occasionally.

Can do! Give me some time and I'll post my crappy gearset I mostly stole from you.

Its definitely not but here we go:

Item Sets:
*Leg. Esoteric Initiate set
**Leg. Dusk Lenses w/ Topaz of Fear Immunity
**Leg. Order's Garb w/ Golem's Heart
**Leg. Aetherband w/ Diamond of the Magi
*Leg Elder's Knowledge set
**Leg. Elder's Cap
**Leg. Elder's Focus w/ Essence of Dethek

Eminence of Winter items:
*The Prince's Gauntlet(minor artifact) w/ Embraced by Light for +1 U spellpower
**Augs:
***Glob of True Imperial Blood
***Diamond of Festive Cha +2
***Diamond of Festive Con +2
*Leg. Direbear Belt /w Sapphire of False Life +48
*Leg Cloak of Winter /w Sapphire of Greater Heroism
*Leg. Deepsnow Boots /w Topaz of Feather Falling

Misc:
*Leg Bottle of Shadows w/ Storm's Bulwark (for Profane Well Rounded)
*Leg Five Rings w/ Draconic Soul Gem (+3 Quality Cha, Void Lore 21%, Spell Pen +8, Cha +13)
*Leg. Shattered Onyx w/ Sapphire of Resistance +10

Weapon:
*Staff of the Summer Solstice(I did finally get one) w/ Ruby of Nullification 139 & Meridian Fragment
*Dragonsoul: Cha Rare
*Dragonsoul: Elec Absorb Rare
*Dragonsoul: Acid Absorb Rare
*Dragonsoul: Arcan Spell Failure Rare
*Dragonsoul: Universal Spellpower Rare

*Purity: Deathblock Rare
*Purity: Healing Amplification Rare
*Purity: Con
*Purity: Positive Spellpower

That's my shitty setup. All tolled that leaves me sitting at 803 fire SP, 51 crit chance x85 crit multiplier.

You may notice I also have some shit equipped for negative spellpower, this because Firebolt does not scale into epics and I like having a powerful ray spell. I use Necrotic Ray with 617/40/40 and it hits for good damage. Pre-nerf I could 1shot most trash with it. My next best is Light with 658/41/60 so I should probably be using Sunburst more judiciously.

Anyway that's my crappy gear setup. I'm not really willing to use "tricks" to improve the cooldown of meteror swarm because I'm lazy as fuck but if it does happen that some new gear piece can further improve my experience I'm all ears.

Exactly why MoD came back into the rotation.

Comes on an augment now.

Noam always got these comebacks.

I think the build he posted has gear advantage over flappy's, which is huge, since that guy is big

Still not perfect though. 4 piece winter is king for defense, there's augmentation optimizations, and your weapon switches are super specific on nuker especially with this meta

See you in the next calendar year

Finally got my hands on the much coveted +2 Profane Aug, which let me loose the Leg. Celestial Sapphire Ring. I ended up replacing it with a Bound Elemental Ring of Flames. Probably not the most optimal choice but I wanted 2 augment slots. I could now trade out my Staff of the Summer Solstice if something better came along, but that Titania's Warmth has been really awesome.

Spell absorb is currently broken and doesn't seem to do shit when it works(then again it may just have been broken since before I got my spell absorb items). I have an unsupressed Pale Lavender Ioun Stone(50 charges) and a legendary Mirror Cloak(20 charges), though using either fucks me up just a little(-3 CHA for the stone and -10% HP for the cloak). Situationaly they will be great when spell absorb is fixed. That should say "if".

As for the filigrees - yes I 100% am slotting them in there for the permanent neg-level immunity. For me that's more important than +1 extra points of CHA. I could probably swap the CON filigree on there for a CHA one but... meh. 6 of one, half a dozen of the other. I suppose I should loose the positive spellpower and swap both out for rares(CON and CHA). That +5 positive spellpower ain't doing shit.

I find that I am much, much, much happier having the Purity set permanently equipped than having to swap it in. That's also where I've got my deathblock item. I played a few hours last night on my alt sorc who does NOT have 4 piece Purity and racked up a record 21 negative levels. It was fun.

For weapon swaps right now all I've got are some raid bows and axes and a throwing knife. I'd love some suggestions on situation caster stick swaps.

I really wish there was 1 more caster ring in the Winter set.
