Achilles

The True Path to Immortality

About:
This guide is a collaboration between TgTalcon and myself. We have spent countless hours theory crafting on how to make this build the best that it can possibly be.

Be sure to check us both out on Twitch for streams and updates:

Build Explained:
This build runs on 16 second timers, it's a rhythm you will acquire if you choose to play this build.
You must continually cast Demiurge and Sacred Armor every 16 seconds, they will both keep your gear equipped and keep you alive. Vindicate and Rapture are useful to keep up as well for extra regen and increased speeds. Our only "Achilles' Heel" if you will is not being buffed.

Besides the buffs, it's very simple to play. You just run around and your vessels do all of the work. Once you have acquired an

Adds 150-300 magic damage
+(25 to 35)% to Physical/Magic Spell Damage
+(23 to 37) to Magic Missiles
30% to Energy
+1000 Defense
Physical Resist 15%

you can incorporate that into the mix for bosses just stand in range of them and spam Magic Missile when opportune to do so and they will just melt.

This build is capable of quickly farming Duncraig, Fautzinville, Bremmtown, Triune, Vizjun, Teganze, And is able to complete most uber quests with ease.

Core skills / Attributes

► Show Spoiler

Skills:
Vessel of Justice: SMAX - Your primary damage source
Sacred Armor: SMAX - Huge regen / defense / magic defense
Demiurge: SMAX - 1000+ energy/dex/vit you need this up at all times to keep some of your gear equipped Nerfed in 1.10 does not give Strength Anymore. Try to avoid using high STR Req gear.
Life and Death: SMAX - More Vessel of Justice damage
Vessel of Retribution: One point. - Still very effective even at 1 point, don't be afraid to get close to enemies!
Solstice and Equinox: One point.
Divine Apparition: One point.
Rapture: Leftover points go here. - Gotta go fast!
Blessed Life: Enough points to get 50% damage reduction with buffs.
Hoplight/Scourge : One point into either one of these is useful for some endgame Uber Quests. (optional)
Resurrect: One point is very useful for early uber quests, especially for Torajan jungles. (optional)

Current Skill Tree:




Attributes:
[Early - Mid Game Gear] Enough Strength for gear and 40% Vit and 60% Energy distribution afterwards.
[End Game Gear] Strength for gear, Energy to 425% synergy and rest in vit.



"When do I start putting more points into Vitality?"
As soon as your energy synergy is at 425%+ to Vessel of Justice with active buffs you are able to. at that point further investment into energy/EF has serious diminishing returns. With endgame gearing and charms you are able to go nearly 100% into vitality with no energy investment what so ever, at that point investing exclusively into spell % damage is much more beneficial. You can find an in depth guide on how spell damage is calculated here.

1.10 Patch Changes (Nerfs)

► Show Spoiler

DEMIURGE: no longer gives strength. Reanimate chance halved
I recommend not using Yaerius Belt or using gear with steep str requirements after this nerf.

VESSEL OF RETRIBUTION & JUSTICE: damage increased by 25% at level 1

VINDICATE: life regen rate has been halved
Rip regen.

SACRED ARMOR: life regen per skill level after 28 is now 5 per second, down from 40 (base level synergy unchanged)
About half as effective as it was in 1.0.

THE COLLECTOR:
Now gives 10 life after each kill per Great Rune, down from 20
Now gives 15 Strength/Energy Factor per Great Rune, down from 25

SPIRIT WALKER: Energy Factor is now 50-100, down from 75-150. Greatly increased rarity

BLACK MASQUERADE: all skills now rolls 1-3

ADJUDICATOR: bonus to Total Vessel Damage from passives reduced to 50%, down from 100%
I no longer recommend using this outside of super endgame as Oris' stats + ability to use Magic Missiles makes up for the extra damage gained from Adjudicator after nerf.

and adding additional to gloves/belt (if you have room for MOs) give us a ton of life and sustain, definitely worth using.

Jewel Crafting:
Craft your Jewels with Zod Rune ( Zod + Oil of Craft + ilvl99 Jewel + Arcane Shard - You should get 3 crafts out of each jewel before you need to drop it, do not craft if it's ilvl 84 or below.)
You are looking for 12-15 EF, 2-4% Phys % and 2% Energy or 1% All Attributes on each jewel you craft for endgame.

Shrine Crafting:
First of all please familiarize yourself with Shrines and Item Affixes so that you understand what can roll on each piece of gear. Your goal with shrine crafting is to land a high shrine bonus + get a natural roll (if it exists on the item type) to roll as well to "double dip" on the bonus + other rolls you are looking for. For example if I am rolling enchanted shrines and I want Phys/Magic% on gloves they can naturally roll up to 20%, Shrine adds up to 10% (20% With blessing) with some luck you could potentially land up to 40% Phys/Magic % on a glove craft. Once you get a good craft it's time to "Bless" your item, you can do so by combining it with the shrine you used to craft it + 2 Arcane crystals, it will add an additional shrine roll on top of what currently exists.

Also be sure to farm the red portal areas and cellars in Hell Act 5, Oils of Conjuration drop uncommonly from them, they have a 40% chance of adding 10% spell damage to your weapons, make sure you try and imbue them!

End Game Ubers:

► Show Spoiler

Early Uber Tips:
Sunless - Ressurect Grubbers before zone, they can tank almost the entire zone ( Keep buffed with Rapture)
Torajan Jungles - Ressurect Moon Spiders, to help kill Rakkis guardsmen, then res Rakkis. They will kill Akarat, and Jitan with you ( Keep buffed with Rapture)
Cow Level - Ressurect 3x Cow Shaman, Buff with Rapture to perma stun the cow level
If in need of extra dps, or tankiness. Rakkis Guardmen are best, they will help with Tran, and even K3K[/u]

Every 105-120 and most 125+ ubers are possible with this build with endgame gearing.

These clips are not representative of the game in 1.10, everything was recorded in 1.0 before Demiurge / Adjudicator / Sacred Armor / Vindicate were nerfed. Expect less overall damage and less regen with equivalent gear. Everything should still be doable but expect to spend more time at it.

It's definitely an option, if you can get TU4 with +4 skills it may edge it out with damage though, I would have to test. I plan to compile more options for leveling, perhaps I might experiment with a completely different spec until you can reach mid game gearing options, I was thinking holy paladin may be a bit smoother in hell and acquiring early charms.

may be an great early game item, cause it actually gives phys Spell Damage and has a little more room for MOs. I think the res problem can be solved by socketables and MOs while maintaining a higher damage output than

Nice work, hope to see more showcase stuff!

yes both are viable options, and yea I intend to do a full charm run tomorrow night and stream it, most charms 105-125 and post highlights here.
should give people a good idea of the build's capabilities, will probably mule every charm I have beforehand to make things more interesting
