I theorycrafted a build trying to take advantage of Dance with Death's "damage with critical hits is lucky". I figured the best way to do this would be to:

A) Have a very high crit rate B) Have a high damage range so that we benefit greatly from 'lucky' damage

The logical choice led me to lightning damage, and Assassin since 100% crit rate is manageable.

I use a 4L Herald of Thunder and 4L Herald of Ice, linked with crit chance. The goal here is to function like an autobomber (except we aren't building area of effect so explosions are kind of small). These also have power charge on crit for free damage and charge generation.

Main 6L skill is Discharge, which I only ever need to use on big rares/bosses. With all of the crit in my build and extra damage, Discharge has a single hit average damage of around 1 million in PoB, which one shots map bosses pretty frequently. (PoB doesn't calculate lucky but I would assume it gives us around 40-50% more damage)

Charges are regained very quickly with Herald's PCoC, Inya's boots, Assassin's Mark, and Assassin's charge generation from ascendancy. A lot of times I can discharge and immediately have full charges again (and end up running out of mana from discharge).

Heralds kill most stuff, I have Ball Lightning on a 3L to provide extra damage against tankier blue packs & also for a burst of charge generation if we need it.

For defenses, I use Brass Dome to counteract "Enemies crits against you are lucky", and a Watcher's Eye with "Gain a Flask Charge on crit" so flasks are generally always full. My eHP is lower than normal in comparison to other builds I do, but the build functions better due to Heralds deleting everything near me like a wall of death. Ranged spells and ranged attacks can hurt us though.

Overall, I intended for this to be a sort of meme build but it really works way better than I had anticipated, and I may try to min/max it a bit and showcase it here (around lv85 right now)

Best Helm enchant for Ice Spear totems?

Posted: 13 Aug 2019 06:38 PM PDT

From a pure DPS perspective, i know the +1 Proj is probably the best, but for more consistent damage how would the 'splits into second form faster" enchant be? Right now my Totems do about 2.4m in the first form and 4m DPS per totem under ideal conditions. With the +1 Proj it goes up to 2.6m in the first form and 4.5m int he second for per totem. So obviously the goal is to get the projectile to hit at it's second form. Generally when doing something like Uber Elder it's not much of a problem, because it's easy enough to set your totems at the right distance, but for everything else, wouldn't the other enchant be better? Or would i just be better off getting the +1 proj?

Viable Scion Minion Build?

Posted: 13 Aug 2019 07:41 AM PDT

Is there such a thing? All her ascendancy options are absolutely terrible for anything minion related, unless you consider totems to be minions.

I know Scion is sort of a joke class except for people who want to stack millions of attack speed nodes, but I was wondering if anyone had any idea how to actually make a minion build work with her.

Hi Friends,

Looking for feedback on my beginner guide. It is a generic RT Ground Slammer with some stun capabilities, and was written with a beginners mindset.

Would love feedback on how to improve guide or build <3

Cheers
