How to avoid elemental reflection on full elemental DPS?
|
Hello guys.
I am full shadow coc build and im using and on coc+gmp combo, when i meet a small elemental reflection no matter what lvl, 60 or 79 i get 1 shotted by my own damage and can't find the way to avoid that... when i played before on my old Tornado ranger and meet a Physical reflection i could Avoid the instant self reflection death with CWDT+EC+IC+ID and could even do phys reflection map. but as a coc full elemental shadow i always scour elemental reflection maps and dieing really often by a really low elemental pack monsters, when i can easily do 77-78 maps without this mod.. Some full elemental build can suggest me, how to avoid the instant death on elemental reflection ?

What are your auras? What are your flasks?
Since you have Tabula Rasa it's really easy to change what spells you cast. You could have a chaos damage set up for your gems if you really wanted to do elemental reflect maps. Your dps would surely go down but at least you could do them. For example, EK, added chaos could be put in instead of fireball and arc. Then knowing that the only element you have to watch out for is cold, you can bring sapphire flasks and run purity of ice. Or you could leave fireball or arc in and choose the appropriate flasks and auras. That's what I would do. As currently I run high physical melee, and if I want to do a physical reflect map I just take out melee physical and replace it with physical to lightning and then pop a topaz flask when I jump in. |

" The biggest issue is not the maps, i just avoiding them. the issue is elemental reflection pack in middle of any other map/zone that i just rush like any other pack and dieing without even realize that i just attacked a elemental reflection, its like instant death..., and sometime i just shoot forward and dieing as well.. this is the problematic situations, Phys reflection can simply avoid that by always using CWDT+EC+IC+ID gems, but what gems i can always use to survive this kind of surprises IGN: MENT

I was playing the same gem setup
I had to pay attention and was using barrage+coc+pierce+Ethereal knives against reflect you know, you are supposed to pay attention. btw is your hp too low? I was playing evasion spec and had 4k life which was enough IGN: Eric_Lindros CET: Timezone Dernière édition par Ludvator#6587, le 7 mars 2015 à 04:40:40

Arctic Armour for fire spells
Spell block (may be hard to achieve) Purities and flasks (flask nodes are really good in this regard) Having all 3 elements is a problem imho. It's easier to focus on purities with 2 elements. Ranger builds list: /917964

If the witches watching watches watch the same watch while you watch which witch watches which watch, they switch watches; then, the watch switching witches watch which watch you watch.

" You can not avoid it but you can mitigrate that damage by going high resist (way higher than 75). German saying: Schönheit und Funktionalität in Sekundenschnelle zu ruinieren, ist dem wahren Dilettanten keine Herausforderung!

Replace one of the gems with life leech and go vaal pact.
Make sure your resistances are at 75%. Use resistance flasks. "Fixing the endgame was hard - No matter how hard we buffed red maps, people would keep spamming Gorges. So we turned Gorge into a red map" Dernière édition par qwertz#1626, le 7 mars 2015 à 13:50:48

VAAL PACT
It is necessary for nearly every AoE elemental or half-elemental skill (molten strike/static strike). Exceptions that come to my mind are fire skills. Reflect can be easily mitigated through the use of RotP or AA or both. There's another solution for CoC though, 46% spell dodge from PA and Atziri's Step, and the usage of surgeon's elemental flasks. It is, however, more complicated. | |

If going Vaalpact you need a high % of lifeleech dont forget that.
A lifeleech gem isnt enough if you have huge elemental damage. something like 10% or more is required. Dernière édition par Mateo_swe#4388, le 7 mars 2015 à 15:22:19
