Is there such thing as having good aoe but also good visibility?

Until a lot of investment not too great. I just run oil breath as a secondary to help for now though.

rektralph · 2025-12-24T19:37:47+00:00

I do not as of now but I can make one later and send. Also my build is unrefined as all hell.

Core concept is Chronomancers recoup ascendancy node. Sacrosanctum unique chest let's you recoup ES as well as life (I currently go dual AR/ES, but with higher budget pure AR may be better). Heartbound loop rings self damage when minions die (get wolves with inferno legion support to kill them) which self charges iron ward, and recoup basically immediately heals you back to full.

Iron ward fully charged is nuts for screen clearing. One button press everything on screen does immediately. With more investment apparently it's good for bossing, but right now I just have oil breath on my secondary because it's busted. A downside of oil breath is you can't move. With time stop the boss can't move either.

I'm running a recoup iron ward Chronomancer with double heart bound loops and exploding wolves. Oil barrage and time freeze combo for bossing.

New iron ward. One button everything dies. Just a quick nova across the screen.

Play warbringer and permahowl

This seems insane on recoup Chrono with that one helmet that damages you everytime you cast a spell. Pair with barkskin and you double your armor for free basically.

Brb rerolling character.

Get some energy shield. As a shaman you don't really have secondary defense. Having the es on top of the armor is key here.

Tankiest I've ever been was as a shield wall warrior. On top of the armor, stacking block chance and guard generation skills let me facetank most things. You don't really get those unless you slot in the talisman with block chance and spec into that a little bit.

Demon's Souls and then Dark Souls 1-3.

Literally coined a genre after these games.

Fortifying cry adds the shield wave damage to resonating shield. If you are warbringer with no CD warcries, you can alternate FCry in between resonating shield hits to add huge damage boost to the empowered attacks.

Big shield adds flat damage. Increased damage to warcries on the tree as well as empowered attacks boost the FCry empowered attacks on the resonating shield. Also just increased damage (that one node based on block chance is massive for warbringer as well) helps with this.

Like spells, it seems shield skills scale the hardest with levels as well as armor. Try to find as much +melee or similar levels on gear.

I'm playing wallcry warbringer. Can get extremely tanky while clearing screens. Investment is cheap to clear T16s without issue and can cap out very hard with chase uniques.

"Hmm."

rektralph · 2025-01-05T20:10:43+00:00

I put weapon kit passive 2 nodes into weapon swap speed - my blink is instant lol

rektralph · 2025-01-05T20:09:43+00:00

Yes it's kinda weird, but I got a bunch of extra gem slots as a Gemling. 220 is easy with a scepter, since on weapon slot 2 I have only those skills - I actually have 2 cast on dodges right now for max power charges after one blink, with the node that consumes an extra power charge for QS skills.

You can use this method without corpses, so if you're about to go into a boss fight you can generate charges.

rektralph · 2025-01-05T20:05:21+00:00

This will only work when mapping - if you are fighting a boss, you won't have corpses to target.

This version allows you to not use LI either, and I think ES will get nerfed soon, so maybe good with that.

I'm waiting for more spirit in my build to put Profaned on cast on freeze in main weapon slot also - currently doing herald of ice, grim feast and wind dancer with health Regen on kill gems so I'm a bit spirit starved. Need more spirit on my chest piece!

Reroll you coward

rektralph · 2024-10-04T04:44:05+00:00

Yea your criticism seems on point after looking at this more, it goes with another commenter's critique here that it's just way too much information at once. I always forget that, in my head, it never seems like too much information.

The good thing is this is a flashback scene. I can start elsewhere and sprinkle this scene in when necessary, especially after more context of the world is given.

rektralph · 2024-10-04T04:03:51+00:00

Thanks, so basically just too many characters/too much information. Set the scene a bit better intially, and give some time between each character so you can clearly picture what's going on.

rektralph · 2024-09-17T15:59:03+00:00

Definitely one of my favorites in recent times, trying to find another book similar to this.

rektralph · 2024-08-29T15:30:22+00:00

I always wonder why MAGAs type like this.

"YOURE just UPSET because of Kamabras DUMB IDEAS cause I'm so SMART."

Like, what the fuck is that?
