[3.11] Melting Nova | 16m DPS, 6k life, acro/phase | Deathless Sirus A8

Anybody mind glancing at my profile to see if I'm missing some source of single target right now?

Things I know I need to get are:

0.5% Fire damage leeched as life Effigon, so I can put a support on ice nova
Bottled Faith, for Awakened Added Fire in chest links instead of inc. crits
Watcher's eye with Attack speed for Precision, and maybe a zealotry mod if I can figure out mana requirements
Enchant my boots with "Damage Penetrates 10% of Enemy Elemental Resistances if you haven't Killed Recently"

So i divined my jewel for:
Big nodes:
28% inc cold dmg
10% of phys to cold

26% inc fire
10% of phys to fire

34% inc fire
0.2% of fire leeech as life

31% inc cold
3% cold pen

1% max fire res
27% fire res

34% inc fire
pen 4% of fire

For those to get ill need 6 extra pts

and the last one (but its 5 pts waste)
33% inc fire
2% pen


small nodes also good
inc fire dmg
chance to shock cold spell dmg a few of resists

is that good or should i reroll for better ?
cuz 0.2 isnt much or its goof ?

Pretty fun build and the dps is totally nuts but the lack of sustain and being really squishy in general (at least i feel like) makes it a little hard to enjoy the build since i get oneshot way too often by metamorphs or even normal t16 bosses

poachers mark definitely improves the build tenfold.

Yes i am not sure if life leech or poachers, for poachers i might need to get +1 curse somewhere or drop frostbite for now. I mean i could annoint it, but i'd lose heart of ice then (playing the cold version)
Also working on getting higher aps and and CDR, but CDR especially is crazy expensive to get

Here are two sustain alternatives if you can't get fire leech on your effigon:

The shortest tip, mentioned multiple times already, for the people who struggle with their hp. I feel like this is not emphasized enough:

get

some

friggin

jewels!


If you're struggling with content at first, use starkonja instead of devoto, and use hp/res rares instead of dps ones. You're going to benefit much more from NOT dying to random stuff and actually gaining xp/lvls (which also further boosts your hp by the way) than get that 10% more POB dmg while sitting at ~4k hp or so. For reference, my current character (MakosMetamorph) sits at almost 6k life at lvl 95 and I feel no lack of dmg whatsoever anyway.


In short:

more hp/defences = less dying = more xp = more lvls = more nodes from the tree and more base hp


Focus on not dying first, the dmg will come itself later anyway, especially once the gems hit apropriate levels.

Copy pasting from the opening post, the stats you want from your dirt cheap jewels are:

- % increased maximum life

AND at least one of those:

- increased damage
- increased area damage
- increased fire damage
- increased cold damage
- increased spell damage
- increased spell damage while dual wielding
- global critical strike multiplier
- critical strike multiplier for spells
- critical strike multiplier with cold skills
- critical strike multiplier with elemental skills

Those who struggle with fire leech. You can drop skitterbolt and run Anger + two auras + enligthen, if you need anger has reduced mana reservation on helm (1ex helm +-), can grab also reduced mana reserve if you need on tree, and run watchers, leech 1-1.5% fire damage as life also 1ex+-

Another way, you can fossil craft your elder ring with scorched fossil or any other ring to get fire damage leeched as life (prefix)

Somebody said something about calculating onslaught, go to POB take one of your items and edit it, copy paste 20% increased attack speed it, save.

If I run flammability in my CoC setup, will WoC and Flammability share a CD? Like at 15aps, say you have 7.5 WoC casts, will it now be 3.8 for WoC and 3.8 for Flammability?

I'm using a lvl 21 23% quality vaal ice nova instead of a regular ice nova, would that affect my damage anyhow?
