    With the new changes in Patch 2.6 Enchant finally Double Dips on Fire Mastery Damage and that gives us ~20K Enchant damage on our Demon Machine. Every time it explodes it does 20K damage to everything in its radius and can explode 5 TIMES per shot! That's 100K damage into each monster pack before you add on the -xx% Enemy Fire Resistance and Infinity's Conviction Aura. This build is wild...

    I know this video was specific to a fire bug fix but the way you broke down pierce and how it relates to enchanted skills really helped me with my frost maiden build who just hit lvl 90.
    I switched from an A2 Might to A2 Blessed Aim and my Freezing arrows have been way more effective at spreading the damage through packs (attack rating went from like 4k to almost 8k). So much so that I can do P3 as easily as I was doing P1 before. Just need a Razortail to max my pierce (SSF so it's been a nightmare) to really tear things up. Since I am doing HC, P1 feels that much safer now. THANK YOU

    So you can also make this build almost invincible too with a +9 ES Memory Staff which isne even that hard to get or find. This is hands down the best build in the game. If you get a Memory with +3 on the base you can hit lvl 38 (max) energy shield. Use an A2 Prayer merc with insight, Cure, and CoH - now you have insane mana and life regen, and it removes curses and poison for you. you're basically indestructible now due to the lvl 38 energy sheild and this. I tried this with a lower energy shield and I ripped way too many times when energy sheild is at like lvl 28 - You REALLY need the levl 38 energy sheild with memory for this thing to be not only durable, but damn near indestructible. You lose some Attack rating and of course the -resistance from conviction but it honestly to me almost makes no difference. Tested this multiple times switching between mercs and its really only noticeable past players 3 and chances are if youre in a players 8 game... its chaos or baal runs anyway and someone likely already has an infinity.
    I don't even use battle orders 1700mana/450 life. Just swap memory off after using energy sheild, switch to eshutas and spirit.. use enchant on me and merc and youre good to go for 1000 seconds aka 15 minutes.

  • @TylerSmith-hs8xw

      @ramachandra7729 10 месяцев назад

      Dragon actually isn’t as good as 20/-20 armour since the added damage from the aura is about the same as the flat dmg from 4 facets and an additional -20 fire res goes a long way to boost dmg back broken immunity mobs

    • @brianwilhelm3777
      @brianwilhelm3777 10 месяцев назад

      I started with this, maxing Hydra synergies & ended up switching up to max energy shield.
      The damage difference is surprisingly underwhelming.
      ES is a much better option.
      I actually think throwing on 2 Wisp Projectors & maxing Lightning synergies is a much stronger option.

    Does it matter what the -enemy fire res is from the facets in ormus robe and eshuta when prebuffing or is it only the fire skill +% from the rbf that matters during this phase?

    @hansmatheson5976 Год назад

    Apologies if I’m missing something but does “fire skill +%” apply/work when pre-buffing?
    Or is the Eschutas just being used for pre-buff because its +3 skills and one-handed so you can get the +2 skills from Spirit as well.
    Jw bc my Eschuta’s is only +2 and would assume an Oculus would be better to use in my case unless ofc fire skill dmg +% does carry over when swap buffing.

    • @worldf1re41
      @worldf1re41 5 месяцев назад

      I typically always run this build with a fire sunder, it just makes farming literally everywhere that much easier knowing I don't have to avoid certain enemies.
      If you're concerned about fire resist vs. skillers, make sure you have your Flickering Flame helm, because the aura gives 85-107% fire resist, depending on the aura's roll.
      If you're still low on resists, you could possibly even swap out Magefists for Laying of Hands for an extra +50%
      ALTERNATIVELY if you don't mind a bit of work, you can prebuff with the skiller GCs, or any other gear, then put your regular gear back on.
      If I'm planning to farm TZones, Chaos, or areas solo with high player counts, I typically take the effort to prebuff with a couple extra skillers and my other +skills gear, then swap back for more resists / cast speed / etc.

    I wonder how this ultimately will pan out in practise once the real patch drops in, and with the prebuffing, slower teleport casting and not firing super fast, and keeping in mind that most people won't be soloing players 8 content as well. Would like to see how this fairs in a series of timed players 8 cow runs. It's going to be a good build regardless and a good showcase from you all the same.

    • @MacroBioBoi
      @MacroBioBoi  Год назад +1

      It's weird, it's a build that strives in P8. On lower player count you'd get better efficiency out of a higher geared fireball Sorc. But for "equivalent" gear value it out performs most things other than LF.

    • @FedjasFan
      @FedjasFan Год назад +1

      @@MacroBioBoi Fireball - if build correctly - is a P8 killer, like any geared-for-it non cold sorc :) Plus the greatest thing about a sorc are the fcr frames (that's why a sorc (given a good build) solo clears most things faster than a javazon - which is much stronger once she is there). Also pre-buffing is a big nono for online play IF one cares about efficiency. Like making the run 5%-10% slower is a big deal (I didn't test this but no pre-buff might be even more efficient, of course it will, among other things, be highly dependent on the run length). There are a lot of choices which change the time to complete a run by a few % so the cumulative affect of all choices of a build is quite big (10% would be huge already if you are a grinder). Nevertheless this seems like a nice buff to a previously super niche old build which was played by very few people only.

      @asharedo Год назад

      @@dennism.5145 Was the white cow by itself? This build does MUCH more damage when enemies are stacked together, due to how pierce and the exploding arrow work. Every time it pierces you're basically just hitting multiple times, because the aoe will explode on the enemy behind, causing multiple explosions from one arrow/bolt. So if you only attack 1 enemy at a time, it'll feel much weaker (even though as he shows in the video it's still decent by the looks of it, vs 1 enemy (boss))

    I've been running this build for a bit over two months now in Non-Ladder, and I can safely say it's my favourite build for PvM.
    It kills faster than any sorc I've ever played, bar maybe a Nova Sorc holding her own Infinity.
    It's far easier to do runs and kill packs than a Hammerdin
    With a full ES package, it is VERY difficult to die randomly like sorcs can be prone to doing.
    If you're looking for easy, mass PvM clearing, key running, etc. This is the build
    Only gripe is that you don't have space for MF gear, so the good ol' 3-piece-Tals Blizz Sorc isn't redundant just yet
    I've literally taken this build for turning keys into organs (not brave enough to try uber Tristram though!) because with full buff and great gear, you kill the bosses in like, 10-15 shots, even FEWER if you get put a wall behind them for an extra explosion.

    Loved this build! Melts everything in the game, fire immune or not, on P1. Enchantress was not good before lvl 49; start as a different build and re-spec to Enchant when you get your gear. I'm looking for a fire facet to socket the bow with. I'll keep Mage Fist for pre-buffing but use Laying of Hands to get the needed IAS. 1 point in the Blaze skill is a very nice compliment to Enchant as it has the same synergy skills and allows you to lay down fire as you back away from very strong mobs like Hell Baal wave 5. Wasn't able to kill D-clone with this though (needed some prevent monster heal for that).

    Mac, theory crafting question for you--I'd love to work with an Act 1 Merc on this build, particularly since I don't regularly use one on all my others. For example, on my GF barb, I've added in the Act 5 merc (that actually contributes and survives!), which has been a blast, and I want to do something similar here.
    So--looking at the setup with your enchant merc build, it's an up'd Kuko Shakaku, treachery, and wisdom. Fires explosive arrows with 83% pierce.
    Since we're the killing machines ourselves, what about a fire Act 1 merc with mist bow (100% pierce, freezes targets, conc aura), and then giving her a flickering flame as well so she has extra fire damage? The tradeoff is she isn't constantly firing explosive, but she's an insane crowd control, should be very strong damage, and when she fires explosive arrows, they always deliver. Thoughts?
