Path of Building Code

Build Overview

The build revolves around being crit capped, having the right attack speed, and the right amount of cooldown recovery rate. Once those are solved, we can focus and scaling damage and survivability, so let's dive into these.

What is COC or Cast on Crit? It's when you're using an attack, to proc a spell, and for that to happen, that attack must be a critical strike, hence the name, cast on crit.

Getting crit capped

  • Power Charges
  • High base crit weapon
  • Diamond Flask
  • Pressure Points
  • Quick Getaway

Break Points

Attack Speed

  • For the 52% breakpoint, we need 52% cooldown recovery rate, and a maximum of 10.10 attacks per second
  • Crafted attack speed on glove, shield, ring can help you reach that breakpoint
  • Tailwind also helps
  • High APS weapon
  • Unholy Grace Quick Getaway -> good sources of APS

Cooldown Recovery Rate

  • Elevated Shaper/Crusader mod on boots goes up to 20%
  • Awakened Cast On Critical Strike Support level 6 & the Critical Mastery that gives +3 levels to all critical support gems will get you to 52%
  • Other sources are the corrupted Graft implicit that gives 2% CDR per green gem you have equipped
  • Bound by Destiny unique jewel, with 2 shaper items gives you 20% CDR
  • Abyss Jewels call roll up to 3% CDR mods

Once all the boxes are ticked, your build will pop off like a rocket. If your build feels bad, something is wrong and you should check each criteria and make sure you're set up correctly.

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • very strong single target
  • very good clear
  • spin to win
  • extremely tanky
  • cyclone is no the fastest skill
  • can get expensive
  • needs some knowledge about COC

Weapon - Imperial Skean is your BIS. Get a fractured base with either fractured crit multi, crit chance or attack speed. Spam essences until you hit good suffixes, you want T1 crit chance, T1 crit multi and T1 attack speed. Then lock suffixes, and reforge chaos for +1 to all chaos spell skill gems, lock suffixes again, veiled exalt and hope to remove the crafted mod, if it does remove the crafted mod, bench craft any source of penetration, and unveil. Hope to hit either chaos damage mod, or spell damage mod. GG, craft hits can't be evaded and you're done. For the enchant, just enchant whatever you're missing, either crit, or attack speed.

Helmet - Lich's Circlet with high energy shield, int and resistances. Either fracture a base, or buy it fractured, the best fractures are % energy shield, INT, then you can spam Essences of Woe for flat energy shield, until you hit T1 % ES or T1 hybrid. Finish the suffixes off with eldritch currency.

Shield - Titanium Spirit Shield is your BIS, try to get high ES and high block chance, bases with already crafted prefixes at the time of writing this, go for around 10 divines, in my opinion it's well worth buying them, than trying to craft it. Once you got your base, use a Shaper's Exalted Orb and hope it hits ES recovery on block, if it doesn't, lock prefixes and reforge defense at the harvest bench. If it does hit ES on block, lock prefixes, and Veiled Exalt slam it, in hopes it removes the crafted mod and unveil either double damage, double damage while focused. You can skip this step if it's too expensive, and just craft attack speed.

Amulet - Whispers of Infinity is the best here, because you will never have to worry about mana, because it converts your mana cost into energy shield cost. Anoint it with Tranquility and if your budget allows it, get a +1 max res corruption. Discipline aura effect also is worth taking.

Gloves - Warlock Gloves with high energy shield, int and resistances. Because the build needs a source of DEX, I've opted to put it here. I bough the fractured DEX base, threw some Dense Fossils at it until I hit the prefixes, then Eldritch Currency the suffixes. You can also use Essences of Woe to hit the prefixes, whatever is cheapest.

Boots - Warlock Boots with shaper and hunter influence for Tailwind and CDR. You want 1 base with the elevated tailwind mod, and 1 base with the elevated CDR mod. Use an Awakener's Orb, and hope for the best. The best 3rd suffix would be either a high resistance, or INT. For the prefixes I've done the following: Step 1 - Lock suffixes

Step 2 - Veiled Chaos Orb

Step 3 - Unveil movement speed

Step 4 - Craft mana

Step 5 - Exalt Slam in hopes to get ES. If you hit T1 % or T1 flat ES, you're good, just bench craft the other ES mod

Step 6 - If you don't slam a good ES mod, go back to step 1, repeat.

Belt - Mageblood no description needed. It fixes everything, resistances, good attributes too, etc.

Rings - Kalandra's Touch

- The expensive version is a +1 max power charge synth ring. If you have this, I've crafted it in the following way:

  1. Use essence of scorn until good 2nd suffix, preferably INT
  2. Suffixes cannot be changed
  3. Veiled Chaos
  4. Unveil a good mod, either double attributes or something that complements your setup
  5. If the veiled chaos missed and you got a prefix, back to Step 1
  6. If the veiled chaos didn't miss, and you got a good suffix, craft mana, exalt slam for high ES
  7. If you slammed twice and no ES, lock suffixes, scour
  8. Craft mana, slam again. Repeat

- If the +1 max power charge ring is too expensive, use the same crafting process on a normal ring, or a % increased spell damage per power charge synth ring.

Body Armor - Twilight Regalia with high ES, and INT, resistances, and I went with a fractured essence mod giving me onslaught when i get hit, Forbidden Rite of Soul Sacrifice hits you every time it procs, so have permanent onslaught, thus freeing a flasks lot. Crafting it goes the same, once you got the fractured base, just spam essences of woe until good prefixes, then finish the suffixes with eldritch currency.

Grafts - Squalling Tulgraft with a corrupted implicit that gives you crit chance per power charge. Try to get one with % increased spell damage or crit multi

- Based on your budget, your 2nd graft can be the exact same. I have a CDR one, but it does NOTHING for the build. I just had it and used it.

Our survival comes from high energy shield numbers, high chance to block, ES on block, 90% max res and the jewels help us do so.

  • Melding of the Flesh combined with Purity of Lightning and +3 max lightning res implicit on the chest alongside the +1 max res corruption on the amulet, will get us to 90%
  • Stormshroud combined with a flask that gives us chance to avoid being shocked makes us ailment immune
  • Militant Faith (Dominus Inner Conviction) turns a keystone into Inner Conviction, grating us 3% MORE spell damage per power charge, we have 9, so 9x3 = 27% MORE spell damage.
  • Watchers Eye with crit multi Precision and Discipline chance to block spell damage will be huge for both damage and survivability
  • Impossible Escape - Blood Magic, will allow us to spend 4 points to get an insane amount of block chance, increased max block, and permanent Endurance charges, thanks to Inexorable, As The Mountain. Inexorable works the same way the onslaught mod on the chest piece works. Forbidden Rite of Soul Sacrifice hits you every time it procs, granting you onslaught from the chest, and endurance charges from Inexorable
  • Foulborn Blue Dream socketed next to Mind Over Matter will make it so all nodes grating lightning resistance will give max energy shield at 100% of their value. We take 6 travel nodes there, making sure to tattoo lightning res on them, giving us a total 36% increased maximum energy shield. VERY GOOD in my opinion.
  • Forbidden Flesh and Flame combo for Withering Presence will allow us to take all the ascendancy points we need for the build, especially Unholy Authority giving us an additional curse.
  • I'm using 2 8 passive large clusters jewel with the following mods: Touch of Cruelty for hinder, making enemies take 10% increased damage, Unholy Grace for attack speed and chaos damage, a 2nd Touch of Cruelty and Unspeakable Gifts for a source of explode, albeit very unreliable, but satisfying when it does proc.
  • I'm also using 1 medium cluster for crit with Quick Getaway and Pressure Points

When it comes down to Rune grafts, I'm using 1 rune graft of the fortress for more global defenses and 1 runegraft of gemcraft for +1 to level of non-exception support gems, giving another level to Awakened Cast On Critical Strike Support and your supports.

Awakened Greater Multiple Projectiles Support is fantastic for clear and single target damage, but if it's out of your budget, just use normal Greater Multiple Projectiles Support or Greater Volley Support.

Use a level 1 Precision, strictly for the watchers eye mod.

Assassin's Mark and Despair will be your curses

How it Plays

Zone into the map, hold down Cyclone and spin to win, sending out projectiles from Forbidden Rite of Soul Sacrifice in every direction. Use Despair on bosses.
