0.4 Introduced a change to
Mirage Archer to let it scale it with Cooldown reduction and skill effect duration. This allows you to have an automated detonator setup on bosses just by hitting you dodge roll.
Stormblast Bolts is a skill that fire projectiles into the air and they land as bolts on the ground. They do no damage until you hit it with a detonator skill. This skill is basically balanced around you having to switch to detonator and it has very strong numbers because of this fact. When you have an automated detonator skill you pretty much double the effective DPS of this skill. At level 20
Stormblast Boltsfires 3 projectiles and they explode for 470% damage leech making it effectively a 1410 skill + the damage the original projectiles do when they land. 0.4 also introduced a new buff called
Eternal Rage this costs 100 spirit which is huge but constantly regenerates your rage. This combined with
Berserk and 4 nodes for max rage on your tree gives you a massive 74% more damage that you did not have access to before this league. On top of that a level 20
Trinity gives you 55% more damage at the cost of another 100 Spirit.
Trinity requires you to do equal damage which is easily solved by
Painter's Servant. This boosts the damage of the normally weak
Galvanic Shards and
Herald of Thunder combination to the DPS threshold to be able to blast maps very early. There is also a downside of
Berserk where you lose life and you need both Vitality I and Vitality II to offset it. Thats a total of 30 + 100 + 100 + 30 + 40 + 20 spirit just for the build to work. Luckily going tactician gives you the node
A Solid Plan which says 50% less reservation costs for persistent buffs which allows us to stack 200 ish spirit and fit everything we want into the build.

Changes
EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT IN THE ENDGAME POB READ THIS PART TO THE LINE. THIS IS HOW YOU FIX YOUR DEFENSES IN THE GAME.
This is a crit version of the build that does more damage than you'll ever need in this game. Since
Olroth's Resolve has been nerfed without GGG saying anything Ive redone the defensive layers on the build and made it crit for damage. This is full breakdown of every slot and how to make all the gear.
First thing is
Morior Invictus This armour with the life roll gives you gives you 650 life which is probably the only way you are going to survive as a life build this league. The mods you want on your armour are Spirit, life, elemental resistance, Chaos resistance, attributes in that order of importance.
There is new anoint called Grace of the Ancestors and its Melancholy Envy and fear which will give you 10% attack speed and 50% evasion. We will be specing more points into the tree for evasion to help defenses. I havent died in a long time so its pretty much fine. You want to get to about 3.3k life with 400 ES and damage to kill everything.
_____________________________________________________________________
In order to swap to crit you need the following. A crossbow with at least t2 crit chance. You need a Garukhans. Level 96 Character .
Crossbow. You can have 2 endgame crossbows but I am currently using one because its kind of overkill. Clearing Crossbow
You want to fracture any T1 elemental flat damage on crossbow and then annul down to 2 mods. You need an ilevel 81 Crossbow. You can get the mod by using perfect augments and annuls. Then chaos orb until you hit any other T1 flat damage or T1 increased damage with elemental attacks. Then perfect exalt with sinistral omen to try to hit the 3rd t1 mod. You want increased damage with elemental attacks because in the crit version it has really low increase so this prefix is actually better than other flat modifiers and it has highest weighting so its easier to make. Then you wan to triple slam your suffixes and use
Astrid's Creativity to allow you to get 2 crafted mods. Then cycle between Perfect essence of battle, perfect essence of haste and desecrate to get all 3. Then you will need to use omen of light and ancient jawbones over and over til t2 crit(takes alot of money)
Ring:
Get a base with any t1 flat damage and high resistance (try to get at least t2 this matters for whittling) essence rarity. Use life catalyst to 20% Use Catalyst omen, Sinistral exalt and perfect exalt to try to hit t1 life. If you miss you might want to start over. Then use any elemental catalyst to 20% and use catalyst omen and dextral exalt omen to attempt to slam elemental resistance. If you fail you might want to consider using Omen of dextral erasure to chaos the bad mod into a resistance(this can get very expensive)Then use ancient collarbone and omen of light to get last prefix.
If you want to do make another one with double flat. You can get a flat damage base with high res and essence rarity. Then use any elemental catalyst to 20% then use Sinistral exalt omen with catalyst exalt omen and perfect exalt for a chance at double flat. (This is hell) I would suggest probably buying one but this is how you do it from scratch. Then you want to use life catalyst , sinistral exalt , omen of catalyst and attempt to slam life. At this point if you miss you might consider using omen of whittling with sinistral erasure to save your ring. Then desecrate with blackblood omen for hybrid resistance.
Amulet. Start with Gold amulet with +3 projectiles. Fracture it. Annul down to 1 mod and chaos orb til t1 crit damage. Then use any elemental catalyst to 20% and use omen of dextral exalt , catalyst omen and perfect exalt any resistance. Then use life catalyst to 20% and then use catalyst omen and greater exalt omen and perfect exalt to try to slam life and hybrid life. I got lucky and hit spirit so mine looks a little different. You will have to desecrate spirit. remember spirit is a low level mod so you don't wan to use ancient collarbones.
If you get spirit on amulet you can Get Spirit and damage on
Against the Darkness and you can now remove
Alpha's Howl and use a rare helm, this will give you a crit and crit damage roll and big life and evasion. This league also made
Raven-Touched Shard which lets you anoint a notable on your helm. The legacy of greymake gives you 50 to all attributes which is literally crazy. Both of these options are crazy expensive so make sure you have a good helm
Helm crafting. Get an ilevel 82
Freebooter Cap with 2 sockets. Make it 1 mod rare and chaos orb til crit chance. Fracture the crit chance. Then spam chaos orbs til t1 evasion % or t1 life and then use sinistral exalt omen and greater exalt omen with a perfect exalt to try to hit any mods that are not MANA. The good mods are t1 life, evasion, flat evasion, rarity, hybrid evasion and life. Then use a perfect exalt to try to blind slam resistance. If you fail you can use dextral erasure to continue spamming perfect chaos til you get resistance. Then use preserved ribs and omen of abyssal echoes to try to hit crit damage.
Boots: Get any high evasion boot base with 2 sockets. Use perfect augments and annuls til t1 life or 35 movement speed and attempt to fracture one of those mods. Then chaos orb til the other one. Then use sinistral omen with perfect exalt to try to hit either high % evasion or any good mod. Then attempt to Slam resistance with perfect exalts with omen of dextral erasure over and over again til you want to cry. Desecrate the last mod.
Jewels You can 5 mod jewels with suffix effect to get huge jewels this league. You want to start with 1 mod fracture for crit chance to attacks 16% or Critical damage to attacks 20%. Be very careful buying the fracture from trade because cucks will use the crafted mod to fracture and cost you multiple divines.
Annul down to 2 mods and spam chaos orbs til the other crit mod. IE if you have 16% critical hit chance fracture you want to chaos to critical damage. Now the jewel is crit chance crit damage and 1 random prefix. Now you have to use a potent liquid of contempt. I think its just a straight 50/50 on the roll cuz i wasted 100 divines testing this. IF you have 2 prefixes logically i was thinking that you might have a 66% chance of knocking off a prefix but its more just 50/50. This is pretty much a 50/50 on hittting +1 suffix.
Once you have +1 suffix on your jewel , you want to use omen of dextral necromancy and desecrate your 3rd suffix. Use omen of light and echoes here until you get the mod that you want.
Then use a omen of sinistral annulment to annul the +1 suffix off your jewel. Then exalt the jewel twice. Then use chaos orbs here. Because the game has 3 suffix and i cannot add another suffix because +1 mod is gone it will say you cant do this sometimes but just continue clicking. At this point all 3 of your suffixes are protected and cannot change except via divine orbs. So all you need to do is get 1 prefix that you want ie attack damage. Then use potent liquid ferocity to 50/50 the mod if you miss you can just chaos again. After you are done you need to divine the jewel for breakpoints if you have 4 attack speed on the bottom the biggest suffix % breakpoint is 55% Then spend 30divs on catalysts and cry.
