Equipment



















In this update almost of the gear has been changed or upgraded with additions of many uniques to the build.
First is the combination of
Ralakesh's Impatience (Endurance) and
Arn's Anguish. These two work perfectly in sync with each other as
Arn's Anguish converts all endurance charges into brutal charges giving us triple damage meanwhile
Ralakesh's Impatience (Endurance) retains the original benefits of endurance charges even when we dont have them.
Then we have swapped out our rare rings for
Circle of Regret (Lightning Damage) with +1 maximum endurance charge implicit on both of them. These provide us pretty much everything we need as they give flat lightning damage, intelligence and even resistance. A much cheaper substitute for these are
Kaom's Sign rings but if you use them you will miss out on lots of damage and will be intelligence starved forcing you to invest somewhere else manage your attributes. If you are forced to use them atleast use corrupted ones with either elemental resistance or wrath aura effect.
Lastly we are using
Voice of the Storm as our amulet as it provides lucky damage with non critical lightning hits and since this is
Resolute Technique build we never deal crits so every hit is lucky. You can even use
Astramentis if you dont care about lucky damage and just want to manage your attributes. Just make sure to anoint whatever amulet you use with
Clever Thief.
For Weapon i m now using a rare
Colossus Mallet , but
Brain Rattler is also a great choice till you can craft or afford a decent rare mace like this one. Preferred mace bases are
Coronal Maul,
Piledriver and
Colossus Mallet.
Passive Tree
In this update i have heavily optimized and revamped the skill tree. By adding a 8 Passive
Large Cluster Jewel , a
Medium Cluster Jewel and a Megalomaniac to the build.
Large Cluster Jewel provides us with
Overshock,
Prismatic Heart and
Widespread Destruction. We allocate
Overshock and
Prismatic Heart and skip
Widespread Destruction to save 3 points. You will need these exact three nodes if you want to skip for extra points. If you get any other node other then
Widespread Destruction you wont be able to skip as other nodes change there position with
Prismatic Heart.
For
Medium Cluster Jewel we use one which provides
Heraldry for lightning exposure and
Agent of Destruction for extra shock chance and damage. Make sure to use either a 4 or 5 passive only.
Lastly on megalomaniac we get
Overlord and
Electric Presence. Both of these nodes are quite important so if you are not able to find these together, then use a megalomaniac with
Overlord and any good nodes. And get
Electric Presence from a
Small Cluster Jewel for reservation. Just use a
Small Cluster Jewel with 2 passives.
Also use a Watcher's Eye which converts atleast 35% of physical damage to lightning as you can get the rest of conversion from glove implicit.
Lastly you can use a
The Light of Meaning (Lightning Damage) near
Stamina to get quite a bit of damage boost.
For the Fourth and Final Ascendancy point we will take
Unstoppable for now.
Skills






























In this update there have been several changes to gems in our build. Starting with changes to our main skill
Holy Sweep, it is no longer supported with
Physical to Lightning Support. Instead
Elemental Damage with Attacks Support,
Multistrike Support and
Volatility Support have been added to it, keep in mind only use
Volatility Support if you have
Voice of the Storm equipped otherwise use
Melee Physical Damage Support
Next i have removed
Frostblink from the build and replaced it with
Leap Slam as that felt much better to use with our massive aoe and since we now have much more attack speed in our build then before. You can still keep using
Frostblink if you prefer some extra movement but use it with
Leap Slam.
i have also added a
Cast when Damage Taken Support setup to the build with
Molten Shell as we now have over 15k armor.
Lastly i have replaced
Intimidating Cry with
Enduring Cry as it makes no sense to use it once we have over 1 sec attack speed and
Enduring Cry also allows us to quickly gain our charges while fighting bosses. We have even added
Wrath to the build for alot more extra damage and its interaction with damage conversion with Watcher's Eye.
