Build Overview

Shattering Concoction End Game Build

This is a build that you can do in a budget to reach not just end game but also +4 difficulty in every end game content.

This build gives high survivability and it's easy to play after all 90% of the time you just need 1 skill.

As the name says this is a build based in Shattering Concoction and thanks to both heralds the clear speed on every map is amazing! Besides this we are using a couple of tricks that I will talk about and explain everything in this Guide.

Build Variants

This build is all about Shattering Concoction most of your damage will came from this skill and we will use a couple of tricks to increase this damage and create an amazing snowball effect with Herald of Ice and Herald of Thunder to clear all maps really fast.

To create a similar build you need at least 196 spirit that you can get from amulet and chest but you can do this build with less than this.

Another requirement is Widowhail the together with a good quiver will increase our damage by a lot!

The last piece of item you really want is Hand of Wisdom and Actionthat will increase your damage a lot.

A good mana flask and belt is also really important to make this build work in every situation.

Bellow I will explain everything in detail that you need to know.

SKILL GEMS

Most of the time you only need to use Shattering Concoction .
This is the main skill for this build and you need most of the time, this support gems will increase our damage. Scattershot will show as it decreased your dps but in reality will be much higher since we are shooting 2 additional projectiles the damage you see is multiplied by 3.

Just throw that Shattering Concoction and you will see that beautiful explosions activating Herald of Ice and Herald of Thunder.

Hypothermia will be a skill only for bosses to reduce their resistances to cold damage.

Eye of Winter will be the same thing only against bosses to increase our chance to critical hit and also will apply Cold Exposure thanks to this support gem and our high critical chance build. Besides this Unleash will make your Eye of Winter cast twice and with this the effects from this skill will be even faster and higher to apply.

Herald of Ice and Herald of Thunder will create that massive explosions while clearing maps and you will only need this buffs while clearing maps when you fight a boss you will turn this buffs off. Hopefully with the new patch with don't need to this anymore since will be possible to lock the same weapon to both sets.

Grim Feast will provide tons of energy shield while killing the enemies giving you 2x your maximum energy shield.

When you face a boss deactivate both heralds and Grim Feast and activate Alchemist's Boon for extra flasks, Wind Dancer for extra evasion and Ghost Dance for extra energy shield.

Cast on Critical while be active all the time pinnacle boss and map clearing. On this one we are using Frost Wall and not Eye of Winter because this skill just depletes all your mana without a good mana regeneration without providing that much damage. This way we use Eye of Winter as an active spell to get the extra critical chance and then we allocate Frost Wall to Cast on Critical with Spell Echo every time you trigger this buff it will summon two big walls that will do massive damage when destroyed giving you the ability to almost one shot those bosses.

The aim of this build is to scale our cold damage from Shattering Concoction with lots of critical strike and critical damage bonus.

Thanks to Widowhail and using a good bow, I recommend the Visceral Quiver which gives critical hit chance from the implicit this build will be crazy good doing tons of damage and one shotting everything.

Master Fletching will help to increase even more the bonuses from our quiver.

Subterfuge Mask will help to increase our evasion rating using a helmet full of energy shield while Spectral Ward will give us more energy shield if using a body armour full of evasion rating.

This build we are also using Chaos Inoculation and this way we are immune to chaos damage and Eternal Youth as well, this way we can recover energy shield with flasks.

As you can see we are looking for a lot of critical strike and critical damage bonus since these can scale much more our damage.

We can find a few cold damage and penetration of cold resistance to increase our damage from Shattering Concoction

To get all of this nodes you will need a Controlled Metamorphosis with a medium-large ring this way you can slot 7 nodes that will improve this build a lot without having to connect them and this way we can spend this passive points somewhere else.

How it Plays

Map Clearing: Spam that Shattering Concoction and watch those massive explosives thanks to both heralds.

Boss: Turn Off Heralds and activate Ghost Dance, Alchemist's Boon and Wind Dancer before start your fight.
Cast Hypothermia, Eye of Winter and spam Shattering Concoction. When the debuffs from Hypothermia and Eye of Winter disappear cast them again and spam Shattering Concoction.

How it Works

Map clearing: When you cast Shattering Concoction it will activate Herald of Ice and this one will shock the closest enemies activating Herald of Thunder which will activate Herald of Ice and keep replicating the same effect until every close enemy will be dead.

Boss: Cast Hypothermia to reduce cold resistances and Eye of Winter to increase critical hit chance since it applies critical weakness and Cold Exposure thanks to this support gem. Then cast Shattering Concoction that will activate Cast on Critical and trigger Frozen wall twice thanks to Spell Echo while you spamming Shattering Concoction this Frost Wall will spawn and explode at the same time causing tons of damage.
