Also, not sure if you’re familiar with FrozenSentinel, but he’s produced some amazing spreadsheets for the community
Main ones I use are COF and the crit calculator. It can be hard to figure out exactly how much crit you have because the character sheet doesn’t take into account some things. He’s got guides on YouTube how to use the spreadsheets. Hope you find it useful.
Hey just wanted to share an update you may find helpful/interesting.
Last few days I went more of a ZHP build because I wanted to test it on Aby and farm Julra (got Aby down in ~3 seconds), but at ~850 corruption, running monos was a bit frustrating, plenty of damage but just too many random 1 shots. So, I’m trying to find something that will be a lot more comfortable for monos and still has good boss killing potential with just some simple gear swaps, and without having to change passives & skills. Plenty of room for improvement still on the gear but it’s looking promising. And I think it’s more effective than pure HP.
With this setup I have 1953 stable ward which effectively gives me ~ 3.8k HP and an extra 15% DR from Ravenous Void. Ancestral Crown base gives me plenty of endurance and threshold and Warcry cleanses Mimic Hunger. Still have plenty of damage and was very comfortably farming ~850 corruption with no deaths. Nemesis and Exiled mages are no issue. Will be pushing more this week. Will be looking to slam health regen & minion damage/attunement on gear. I did an even more defensive setup initially but with not enough damage, the storm totem dies too quickly, so you need the right balance and a small investment on minion health helps a lot.
For bosses I swap out some gear (body, gloves, belt, relic) and it still melts them (no issues with Orobys/Harbingers at this corruption yet). Can swap more gear likes boots (Storm tide) and idols but not needed yet and don’t wana have to swap too much.
Can also do a setup with Cleaver Solution and Ferebors set for extra ward, but that means dual wielding (9% DT). Would probably run tempest totems for Gladiator of Lagon. But I’m happy with my setup for now, may test that another time.
Or simply Cleaver Solution (with flat damage slams) with the shield. Not as strong as Arek’s Bones or Tempest Maw but would still get a good chuck of ward so better survivability. Then swap it out for bosses.
With more optimised gear I’m sure this will very comfortably farm past 1k corruption.
edit: I initially said ZDPS instead of ZHP build LOL.
Merci pour les infos et les conseils ! Je vais regarder ça bientôt.
J’ai actuellement moins de temps pour jouer et continuer mon projet shaman mais je vais m’y remettre bientôt. Je participe à un concours de poésie/slam et ça prends tout mon temps libre. Le stress est pas mal élevé, j’ai l’impression d’être de retour sur les bancs d’école.
Edit : Wait, wtf. My brain didnt switch to english for some reason lol. I was saying : thanks for the tips and infos. I will look at it soon but for now, I don’t have a lot of time to play and continue this shaman project. (I’m participating to a poetry event and that takes all my free time. I’m quite stressed :P)
