    Big thanks to Eben for reading through my essay of a forum post and puting this great showcase together. This has been my most satisfying and successful homebrew jank build to date, so I'm really pleased to see it hit the big screen. Thanks for all the positive comments everyone!

      Love the commitment to building the unusual, and with new items BUT my speculation and a lot of other peoples as well was that whatever use a person can theorize for the weapon can be better done with Fulcrum, Duskdawn, or just a basic rare?

      @@brettwilliams124 In many cases that's true, but there's a perfect storm here. Hydrosphere deals base physical damage which I scale through conversion and gain-as-extra layers and has a solid effectiveness of added damage. Winds of Fate has some of the highest physical damage numbers in the game, second only to Marohi Erqi which offers no other benefits. With battlemage and a nicely rolled Winds of Fate, I'm more than doubling Hydrosphere's base damage, in a way that benefits from all of my damage scaling.
      I don't benefit from critical strike chance, and damage gained as chaos is ignored by Avatar of Fire, so Duskdawn comes out to 52% less damage than Winds of Fate. A perfectly crafted +5 staff with spell damage and crit multi can eventually surpass Winds, but only at great expense.

      great job man, I'm interested in looking into converting this build into shock rather than freeze and scaling that thru elementalists ascendancy. shock scaling is pretty awesome as well as elementalist has good access to AOE scaling.
      regardless man, great job thinking of all the interactions here, I never would have thought of the wave of conviction solution, that's for sure.

      @@kyleevans1129 Since Expedition's End spiked in price 3 weeks ago, lightning conversion might actually be more approachable on a tighter budget. If you stay as Inquisitor for battlemage with The Winds of Fate, you can use Phys to Lightning support on Wave of Conviction to avoid getting cold from the staff's random conversion. I believe the damage would be lower, and you'd lose the defensiveness of freeze, but it'd be cool to pursue as another alternative.

    I love the Cyclone tech to keep up Fanaticism charges. I'll probably steal that for a build at some point, especially since you can run it in a 4-link with cast while channeling and two utility spells.

    • @TheModdedwarfare3
      @TheModdedwarfare3 Рік тому +4

      I wouldn't do that. You have to keep channeling for a certain amount of time and it also alternates the skills so you'd have to channel for like .6 seconds to cast the two.

    • @ifnjeff
      @ifnjeff Рік тому +3

      I experimented with this when putting the build together, it was so close to being great. Cast while Channeling will rotate between the skills even if you stop channeling in between, it remembers the sequence so in theory you could automate your curse and another utility skill. Unfortunately, it doesn't fire a skill immediately when you start channeling, so you have to hold it for the 0.3 second before it'll fire. I only found the playstyle to be reasonable when I could tap the channel for a frame or two to avoid disrupting my movement and spell casts. Maybe if you could get your cyclone movespeed high enough to feel like it wasn't an interruption it would feel okay.

    you guys should bring back 'cost estimations' or 'gear difficulty estimations' like you did in the older videos, because some of these builds are simply prohibitively expensive... like the manabond hirophant from last time, costs upwards of 200divines to get to the level shown in your video, and in the old videos you guys at least warned the viewer about stuff like that but now you dont anymore

    • @williamtess3660
      @williamtess3660 10 місяців тому

      Cost estimations are way too volatile in an active economy to be anything but misleading. Especially for build videos showcasing uniques on path of exiles main channel, these items can easily quadruple in value immediately. They do also mention that some of these builds are crazy expensive.
