Frost Bomb until you are able to get Spell Echo. Do not use Overabundance I until you have echo.**Spark and Orb of Storms will be your primary way to clear packs of enemies.Frost Bomb applies exposure and will be used on Rare enemies to quickly reduce their resistances into negative values. Weapon Set 2 will be amplifying our exposure effect. Frost Bomb also provides Cold Infusions which provides Spark with cold damage. You can precast Frost Bomb at bosses to stack infusions before a fight begins if desired.Elemental Weakness and Sigil of Power are both Area ground spells that will be used primarily for bossing. Elemental Weakness will reduce the targets elemental resistances and combines with exposure from Frost Bomb which will make the target have negative resistances. This is a FANTASTIC boost to single target damage. You will need to stand inside the Sigil of Power and cast spells to receive the bonus spell damage it provides. Я хочу выразить свою благодарность за билд $-DOOM TOADS. Это безусловно лучшая и самая приятная сборка, в которую я когда-либо играл. Выживание, зачистка, сборка — всё максимально комфортно. Если бы автор ещё придумал, как сделать скиллшот аурой, которая сама активируется, это было бы уже слишком хорошо. (Обычно такое разработчики сразу банят или нерфят) Но в любом случае спасибо!
as a starter, its not that great, but it has a good potential, it disappointed me at first, ,but once i got my trinity everything changed. For those who are still suffering just stick to the guide as it is. do not change anything even if it dose not make sense to you. AND DO NOT TRUST HIDEOUT TOOLTIP SPARK DAMAGE.
if u got 40k spark with trinity and CoC commet active. u will become pretty darn strong.
I honestly don’t understand what people here are complaining about. Skill issue, guys 😂
I’m having a blast with the $-Verisium Choir Mage version of the build right now. I’m clearing T15 maps without any problems, and I got all my Ascendancy points after killing Chaos pretty easily.
And you know what’s even better? I’m not even using the two Powered by Verisium / Remnants of Kalguur skills. I actually found them, but sold them because even the low-level ones are worth a few Div.
My gear isn’t even that good. The only expensive item I have is a staff that cost me 7 Div. Everything else is pretty mediocre, and my Spark tooltip damage is only around 35k.
Now I’m slowly working toward switching to $-DOOM TOADS.
Great build overall. If you can’t make any of these versions work, I’m sorry, but that might just be a skill issue 😄
and lighting bolt skill 50K damage if some one asking
very good league starter not the best like deadeye ice shot but for me very good
So what if it is a skill issue? I mean do you really think all players are the same? You think a streamer or no-lifer playing 10 hours a day is going to have the same experience as someone logging in for 2 hours a night? It's really confusing why some just accuse others of a "skill" issue when they run into problems without considering all factors. There is also a giant chasm difference between someone with hundreds or thousands of hours experience and someone new or new-ish to the game. Then there is literal skill. Yes, some people are less skilled than others. /shrug
Not a league starter but slowly enjoying as i dump currency into it. I tried to jump from early atlas to spark comet storm since this is my second character and i underestimated the amount of currency required to get this build running. Would not recommend unless you have 200+ divs laying around. Even then I think youre going to need alot more. I did not touch the verisium choir mage so maybe thats better with less investment. But the CoC comet is going to be $$$$$$$$ should be in the title.
yeah doing the mecanics boss from late endgame will probably require some investiment but you can pretty much drop some itens until you are good to go
Its working for now, on interlude, but.. how we start with powered by verisium?! something link 20 divines
just farm expedition while you getting the atlas points , at level 90 this skills cost only 5 chaos
Not the most noob-friendly builds, I finally gave this a shot after trying and giving up on previous incarnations but its definitely a strong glass cannon.
You are pretty darn squishy starting out, thankfully most things die fairly quickly if you know how to set it up and keep the cold infusion train rolling. It was probably easier to get Powered by Verisium in 0.5.0 so that part is a pain point for me.
I would try to squeeze in Temporal Chains once you're in maps to deal with being swarmed, as your curses are pretty boosted. Early mirrors will absolutely destroy you unless your damage is already through the roof.
Again, definitely not for the faint of heart, as you have to know what you can facetank through life remnants early on, and what you can't. It is nice to see stuff melt so quickly, finding good jewels is pricey in 0.5.5 which is the sole bottleneck for this build.
Yeah I'm struggling big time. Partly, my fault because I started as something else that was even worse and respec'd to this. However, this has been only marginally better. My damage is better but surviving is another story and I'm still in the campaign. I just don't see where the defense is (and I even added infused flesh for some added life sustain). If you have the luxury of setting up orbs and frost bomb early and can get damage rolling it's fine but if you get swarmed before you can do that or god forbid you have to move (especially out of your freshly placed sigil of power) it's rough because you stop casting you stop doing damage and you stop keeping your health topped off. I am overleveled and the interludes are kinda of rough. Couldn't even defeat the ritual version of the spirit boss despite being 4 levels higher than the zone. I came into this mini-league with the intent to try and level faster and it turned out to be my slowest leveling experience ever.
Once I transitioned to Doom Toads its excellent.
Disgusting builds.
Watch out for this guys fan(fem)boys. They're doing everything they can to defend his builds.
i’m not here to defend him or anything, and yeah, maybe his builds are completely useless for some people, but for me they’ve actually worked really well. i started this league with one of his starter builds, and it actually got me into the beginning of endgame. now i’m already playing his second version of DOOM TOADS.
you don’t have to trust him, just go watch his live gameplay and see for yourself, or just F off :)
is someone’s currency-selling business in danger?
If you spend 150 Div on ANY build it will blast. I think its safe to say you may be the problem. I don't watch this dudes stream, I don't know the drama. This is bog standard blood mage build, and they are pretty clear that you need some investment. 30-40 div will carry you to Juiced maps to farm ANYTHING in the game. If you waste your money that's kinda a skill issue no?
Where is the defense exactly for this? I'm like level 50 and just sort of transitioned to this because my other build wasn't working. This is working ok but I'm very squishy. It's ok when I'm dealing damage but if I get swarmed before I can get damage going or have to move it's very dicey. My resists are nearly capped.
which build are u doing? im doing reap garden and mobs are easy to deal with with the reap staff
Where's the rage responders defending this builds garbage mid game experience lol
