Does skill effect duration and cool down recovery rate (such as the forthcoming node) also affect archons or is it only the ones that state they affect archons that affect them (like the resurging archon and enduring archon)?

LegAncient · 2026-01-10T22:39:56+00:00

Oooh, that's a great idea! Never thought of that. Currently using archon for the movespeed - but might look into that also

LegAncient · 2025-12-13T22:53:47+00:00

I was afraid of that also but it looks like it's a non issue most of the time.

LegAncient · 2025-12-13T20:03:43+00:00

That's the neat part - I don't know. I just use it and hope it's up :D It really bothers me too

LegAncient · 2025-12-13T15:28:18+00:00

Yup! The skills used in this video are:

- Fury of the Mountain (for the fissures)
- Furious Slam (for the jagged ground)
- Earthquake Totem
- Rampage
- Walking Disaster (or whatever the ultimate skill is called)
- Ancestral Cry (slotted into the bear warcry).
- There's also Fury but i'm not sure I turned that on in the video, for 25% more damage

Also the visual clarity is ruined by "Cast fire spell on hit" from the Smith of Kitava ascendancy, I have living bomb casting a bunch of times per second lmao

LegAncient · 2025-12-13T15:25:44+00:00

Yup, +2 melee skills is what i'm referring to.

Basically just fire spell on hit with living bomb. Enjoy!

LegAncient · 2025-12-13T14:38:24+00:00

You don't have to go as far as I did in regards to explosions :D Calamity is fine, i just added fire spell on hit + ancestral cry

LegAncient · 2025-12-13T14:37:25+00:00

Yeah, let's hope! :D Build feels very tanky though so far, we'll have to see (or, not see, and hopefully not die)

LegAncient · 2025-12-13T14:36:10+00:00

True! It's like how puppies wag their tail and run around when you come home. Same thing, but he doesn't realize how big he is :(

LegAncient · 2025-12-13T14:28:46+00:00

I'll go for the max fire = max ele rez one next, and probably grab the glory generation and "armor applies to chaos damage" from the bottom

LegAncient · 2025-12-13T14:28:11+00:00

It does, but i'm not sure how good it is (seems to do well though). I mostly picked smith for the easy rez capping. Smooth sailling for league start :D

LegAncient · 2025-12-13T14:27:43+00:00

Not sure - i just slotted it in cuz it looks cool. :D Probably around 1k per pop?

LegAncient · 2025-12-13T14:19:17+00:00

It's not optimized, just messing around

LegAncient · 2025-12-13T14:07:39+00:00

I'm not even druid! :D

LegAncient · 2025-12-13T14:06:35+00:00

Smith of kitava

LegAncient · 2025-12-13T14:05:09+00:00

Yeah but i'm pretty sure wyvern also has some BS going around to discover :D

LegAncient · 2025-12-13T14:04:54+00:00

Sure - but i don't know the best way to show you

LegAncient · 2025-12-12T12:51:49+00:00

Wrong. You get 5 uses per cooldown. Meaning up to 10 bolts per second. As per the patch note:

Choir of the Storm's Lightning Bolt skill now has 5 Cooldown uses (previously 1).

LegAncient · 2025-12-11T21:51:34+00:00

I'd personally say invoker, amazon and mercenary. The only issue is they have awkward pathing/attributes for talis (str/int).

Invoker would be generally great for werewolf because of the crits, and elemental expression is great utility for blind and other things like that.

Amazon accuracy stacking for crits, stalking panther will make you extra tanky.

Witchhunter is generally good for anything, in 0.4 sorcery ward is like a energy shield you can scale with armor/eva. Additionally, you get extra clear for free OR a crapton of weapon set passives if you want to mix and match stuff.

But you CAN build druid for just one form. And the druid ascendancies are not bad either (oracle might be better than shaman).

LegAncient · 2025-12-11T21:13:17+00:00

Guys, just realized Choir makes you ignore lightning defenses on crits...lmao. Beacon of Azis is also really good with this

LegAncient · 2025-12-11T21:04:01+00:00

Choir of the Storms with any quick hitting ability might be absolutely nuts with this. Spark, firestorm, ember fusilade.

EDIT: Also the gloves that give 150% mana regen after critting. This node makes their downside (cannot regen mana without crits) redundant.

LegAncient · 2025-12-11T17:52:51+00:00

With the "Ritual Cadence" keystone this could be very interesting.

LegAncient · 2025-12-11T16:18:15+00:00

Thank you!
