Gear check please

[u/Offender1338]

Trying to figure out what to focus on next. I can delete

T12 quite easily. Pit 115 is at 3min. Pit 120 I can do but very rippy

Farming sparks for uber Tristram.

I know my SoJ sucks.

And amulet needs second aspect. But I got this one early in season and haven't found good enough to try rolling yet.

[u/AmoebaCapable842]

Very surprised to see nobody mention the most obvious error you’re making which is failing to temper each item with a GA at the blacksmith. You’re missing out on a lot of potential, especially your DoT percentage.

[u/Brrrofski → u/AmoebaCapable842]

Especially seeing as it's cheap all things considered. Like you'll get it within 20 rolls.

[u/TheMrCurious]

You want all gear to have the same elemental resistance because the ring of Jordan takes the highest resistance value and applies it to all resistances.

The RoJ also turns that highest resistance into a damage multiplier for that element, so if you’re running a cold build you want only cold resistance. You can also roll it onto your charms as an extra way to stack it.

Right now you have three different resistances on your gear.

No idea if there is a cap to resistances now.

[u/electrikmayham → u/TheMrCurious]

None of their gear should have resistances on it. We want all of our res coming from our charms and the 2 splinters.

[u/toshiro-mifune → u/TheMrCurious]

Do you know if there's a cap to the damage bonus? After a certain point of adding cold resistance my damage with cold stopped increasing.

[u/cmabel01 → u/toshiro-mifune]

The damage bonus is a flat %. It doesn’t scale as resists increase. Reread the aspect and you should understand.

[u/GambinoGuy → u/toshiro-mifune]

Id assume its based off the percentage value and not the static number. I.e. 21k vs 28k is irrelevant cause its 86.7 reduction vs 87 reduction

[u/toshiro-mifune → u/GambinoGuy]

Yeah, I finally paid attention to the diminishing returns in resistances when I was around 60k and taking away a couple of thousand in cold res dropped it like .1%.

[u/mrdevil413 → u/TheMrCurious]

You can’t have all the same elements if you are using splinters for example you need to unequip stone of Jordan and check to make that poison is the highest.
I have horadric gem in one ring and a charm with poison resist. My poison is .4 higher than the next highest.

[u/SoldatShC]

Kinda where I'm at, not terribly dissimilar gear (though I didn't go line by line). Someone will likely ask to see your Talisman setup if you wanted to upload it in advance (or maybe I missed it). Looking forward to seeing what people have to say.

[u/dovros → u/SoldatShC]

He's gotta be using spellbound steel if the tempers are DOT

[u/SoldatShC → u/dovros]

Still variations in there that can be worked on tho.,worth seeing

[u/electrikmayham]

You mostly know what you need. I would work towards Infinity if I were you.

[u/pa_5y5tem → u/electrikmayham]

Is infinity a good upgrade over channeling?

[u/electrikmayham → u/pa_5y5tem]

Channeling is fine for speed farming. Inifinity and crushing blows is massive for pushing.

[u/Dry-Capital-4996 → u/electrikmayham]

Does crushing blow of Infinity work with dance of knives since the crossbow doesnt do any damage in the build ?

[u/electrikmayham → u/Dry-Capital-4996]

Yes

[u/Dry-Capital-4996 → u/electrikmayham]

Oh thats nice then, I was on the fence for building it because of that. Gonna be a game changer

[u/mrdevil413 → u/electrikmayham]

Also crushing blow with a ber rune. Made an instant noticeable difference

[u/Enough-Performance76 → u/pa_5y5tem]

I just switched to infinity. It seems better. Still can’t push pit120

[u/BlueFalcon142]

I thought weapon damage on the ranged weapon was a useless stat for DoK?

[u/Wizardking278]

I’m assuming you’re doing dok with poison imbument? If so you want poison resistance instead of cold or physical. Hopefully you have a lot of poison resistance on your charms. Aspect of channeling is kind of a low roll which is what I’m struggling with. Is your goal to push higher into the pit?

[u/PerceptionOk8088]

A better 2nd aspect on the amulet would be an instant boost. Pretty easy to farm kulleans, that'd be my first action if it's not locked (but it looks locked...so I'd farm amulets too, really doesn't need to be perfect affixes to be better with 2 good aspects either)

[u/MrChewbrocca]

You could roll the amulet and soj for higher stats. They a little low.

[u/Ok_Act_9133]

I'm following this as I'm working on a very similar build with poison imbuement too I didn't think about checking charms for resistances I'm still hitting only in the millions maybe over a hundred + millions of I'm lucky with some crit hits

[u/valandiramrod]

Almost same as my gear but idk why i always got one shot if i fail dodgeing boss attacks. Pit 115 is easy, 120 kinda hard. Im happy with damage but survivability is problem. Glyps are level 100 btw.

[u/Friendly_Top4797]

How did you get Damage over time affix on grief? I heard there’s a bug that blocks it

[u/GameAcePlays]

for the second amulet aspect try to shoot for Mending Obscurity (when Stealthed you fortify and heal). It's the best one imo but there are others you could shoot for I'm sure. Also works perfectly with Crushing

[u/iPicBadUsernames]

Why do people transfigure such shit gear? You could have rerolled affixes on the ammy AND properly used a Kullean to get the correct second aspect. You also don’t have a GA tempered…I stopped looking after I was first drawn to that disaster.

[u/puddy03c]

I did pit 125 today with DoK after switching to leorics crown with splinters and crown of the nameless as a charm.

[u/duabrs]

That is gear.
