Did you also use Euphoria? I crafted full %spell damage jewels and am almost at -200 pierce now (fascinating crafts, hivemind, angiris star, natasha armor). Had a hard time in torajan jungle but I can see how this works great vs bossess!


No, I've never had the chance to use Euphoria on Holy Caster. Dragonknight's base movespeed is unbearably low. Besides, forgoing Rapture would mean having to worry about breakpoints. I was at exactly -170 fire pierce when I did all those runs. Getting more cold spell damage/pierce would be nice but its not really necessary. Once you have Path of Flames at end game, you can just Solar Flare every 10 seconds and walk past everything that's not fire immune.

Also, the important thing about jewelcrafting is stacking up your Energy Factor. High energy and EF was the last boost I needed to pump my Wyrm damage further up.

Yes, I noticed when watching your gear that every part had energy factor. What I did was basically just roll jewels untill I was energy factor appear and then see if they had at least 2% spell damage (hoping for extra fire dmg of course). Still gotta craft some more but I ran out of jewels and time ;)

Haven't got path of flames yet, did I miss that in your gear?

I didn't use my
Nero
for the video because PoF is not advisable vs most heroic bosses. But its very good for normal gameplay.

Thanks a lot for your support, managed to get him up and running with good gear now. Indeed, Astrogha is a breeze... Rolled a lot of jewels with -req and nrg factor and +4 fire spell dmg. Also got a Darkspite with +11 so I can prebuff really well with Nih jewels in it.

Haven't gotten an auhe yet, so I gotta figure out how to farm Toraja efficiently.

Consistently killing bossess now. Gonna try Xazax next, this build doesn't really feel like playing though, it's more on the engineering side with lots of gear tweaks and crafting/rolling jewels. As if you just build a machine that does shit for you. Which maybe is a style I like though it takes away from the actually feel of 'playing' the game.

Anyway, without all the other charms this build already performs pretty well so I guess I'm going to try the ones harder than Astrogha and Kabraxis soon. There's only about 4 or 5 more charms left for me to get and after that it will be trophy farming time.

Branch (xaz.. what.. dont like new name) 35-40sec. Athulua 15sec. Quov 15-25sec. Kabr 50sec. Astro ~1.4min
► Show Spoiler

At least for one season we got really holly
(But nephalem barb can even faster (on uldy members x3 that's for sure).

Btw Still wondering why holy pala use fire skills and have red skin and unholy use lightning.


Very cool to see, I forgot to mention I'm using
Lychnus Lyaei
in combination with a fascnating crafted shield with +5 pally skills and fire dmg and -efr. That's how I got my stats so high.

(ez mode brachy btw, or xazax ;) did die once, but still don't have all charms so it's ok)

Yeah, the way it works is that you're basically just dropping turrets and watching everything die. It is kind of clunky as they say.

I can't recall the exact numbers, but I had smaxed Dragonknight, Blessed Life, Incarnation, Dragon Wyrms and the rest of the points were distributed among Rapture, Dragonheart, Frozen Breath and prerequisites.

The only thing I wonder about is summons, did you also use OPlites?
