Way too much investment in shred, and too little investment in throwing speed. T5 shred on gloves is enough to almost cap out your shred. Throwing speed should be top priority on rings. Taking 3 pts zeal in hammer throw is far stronger than the shred points. You might not be able to fit more speed because you have such high hammer mana cost without maxed reduction in tree and only 1 mana affix on ring. Itās also a very easy mod to seal on rings with despair since you can seal it at t1 (guaranteed). I have no clue why you arenāt taking more points in smite base crit on tree since you only have like 60% crit chance. Testament is OK, especially since if you want to use culnivars itās hard to get shock without losing damage in opportunity cost. But itās very hard to get +smite on it because it usually drops with 1LP if any, and is quite difficult to get 2LP on (even then itās only 50% chance to hit your +smite levels).
The penetration and flat on it donāt do as much as you think it does because you already reduce >100% of enemy res between tree, devotion, ele shred and shock, so itās half value. And you have like 230 flat on the build, so 6 flat is a fairly small amount of damage. The mana and shock are very nice to have, but losing smite affix (especially exalted) hurts. Having to get frailty on blessing also costs you either the 25% endurance (capping you out with devotion) or 320 armor from blessing. Culnivarās does have a lot of stats though.
Alot of things here and I could be wrong about anyone of them so feel free to correct me.
But to my understanding:
It feels you think armor shred caps at 100%? The 70% Max roll on t5 gloves is in no way anywhere close to maxing the potential of armor shred on enemies.
250% armor shred would apply 2 stacks with a 50% chance for a 3rd stack on Everyhit you do. There is no limit to armour shred stacks you can place on an enemy and the more there armor goes down the MORE damage you apply. You only have 4 seconds to apply as much as possible before the stacks start falling off.
The crit chance on the build used in game has 57.5% Crit Chance.
Yes You could swap 2 points around and max the node āConvictionā and then have 78% Crit Chance. You would lose 2 points for 50% Crit multi or have 40% More of the life sacrificed or have to get Tier 5+ on Relic for smite levels. Your choice and you can.
If you do manage to get 20 Stacks of shred/shock on an enemy then yes your at -100% res the Penetration still adds to that and it goes beyound the -100% (The nicest thing about PEN though is it requires 0 stacks and is applied on the first hit allowing for big hits right off the bat) I could be wrong about how negative res can go but other than 20 Stacks of shred i believe there is no limit
If you find a nice relic with Plus levels to smite especially exalted feel free to use it. If you find a testament with LP and get lucky enough for smite again yes, Use it. Not everyone has it and the build doesnt NEED it to just crush content.
Farming Blessings is a time consuming thing. You can definitely change it up.
Iāll leave with 2 last notes.
This isnt my build so im replying in where I believe Greekgeek was going
I doubt this build is min maxed to be PERFECT which is great as it allows players like yourself to make it even better and I think you have
on hammerdin I get over 300 stacks of armor shred on small target like dummy/shade with 150% shred. Dropping to 100% shred on t5 gloves with 200 shred stacks is still 59% dmg amp for non-phys, capped out. Even if you shred only 100 stacks, you are still getting like 55-56% damage amp. More shred only makes a difference on trash, which you instantly kill anyways.
Losing 50% crit multi from having like 500% (10% less dmg on crits) for 36% more critical strikes (78/57.5) is a no-brainer. You get triple the damage efficiency on the base crit nodes as you do multi. The goal of both is damage and inc crit also provides more consistency. This is as much of a āchoiceā as choosing not to max out the +250% more damage node in smite.
Again for pen, doesnt really matter except on trash, which instantly dies. Yes, -40% shred from shock, and -40% shred from ele shred. 16% pen on tree, 15% pen on devotion.
Llama, simple node changes like changing armor shred to crit/dmg and changing crit multi nodes on smite to base crit increase the damage of this build by over 60%. Adding life on idols will increase the ehp another 25%, or more if you have block idols, vs blocked hits. I said nothing about better gear, just analagous alternatives on gear like rare t5 smite idol vs stonecarved, or throwing speed rings instead of damage. Changing one ring will increase damage another 10%. I believe stonecarved is not so trivial to farm as to be considered a ācommonā item for someone getting into empowered echos, so I feel it is comparable to a t5 smite idol.
I donāt think heās so sensitive to discussion and feedback so not really sure what youāre trying to āstand up for.ā The skill tree changes are objectively better. In regards to āmirror gear,ā I am not suggesting any gear remotely as difficult to get as the LP3 aurelis with multi/spell crit in a āhigh end version.ā
