Demons/Thermal build revision, please

[Lyrium]

Let me know what you think. I'm happy with the resists, but I would like to increase defenses. Also, I have no idea how to check pet stats 😞

Hey @Erhnam

 

Took a look at your build, here's my thoughts -

1. You can split up 2 of your Superior Mark of Supremacies to trade a little resist for 10% recharge.

2. You can put damage procs into pets, they are a noticeable difference.

3. You should slot KB to KD in bonfire, if nothing else.

4. You have Fireblast, Fireball, and Lash. I would pick one, you really don't need all 3. 

5. You can slot Tactics with Gussians chance for build up.

6. You can slot a pet with Soulbound chance for build up. When it pops it is very noticeable, i would suggest either your t2 or t3 pets, depending on preference.

7. If you dropped one of your personal attacks, you could pick up Weave, which will be more Defense.

8. I would add 1 more slot to Hell on Earth if you can, and slot it with a plain Recharge Reduction.

9 If you swapped the set in Lash to Blistering Cold that's another 5% defense.

 

Here's what I put together for you. I might be able to do better but I am on my way out for work, this is a rush job on the suggested fixes, but has a good bit higher defense -

 

PS - I forgot to change the slot in Bonfire from KB to KD. Hehe sorry for that one, was rushed!

Hey @Neiska !!

 

Thanks a lot for your time and your input! You managed to get some big improvement on the defenses, and probably on the pet's damage as well, so I guess the resistance loss is a worthy trade-off

 

Something I noticed: In Weave you can remove the LotG recharge and add the last Reactive Defenses enhancement. The 6-piece bonus is 8'75%, 1% higher thanl LotG (unless I'm missing something!)

[Neiska]

I don't have access right now to confirm (at work right now) but its possible! Worth checking out. And the Def vs Res isn't so clear cut with MMs, with heals, bodyguard mode and whatnot, as a lot of that also depends on your pets values which we don't have access too. But either way I am confident in saying this build will perform just fine at +4/8. 

[hellona100]

Hello Erhnam & Neiska,

I recommend not placing a Ghost Widow's Embrace:  Chance of Damage in Demon Prince.  The proc would only trigger when the Prince uses his Block of Ice power.   Admittedly, the Prince uses this power quite a bit - I believe he opens with it.   But your Prince would proc significantly more by slotting slow procs(aka -Speed) into him.

 

 

 Summon Demon Prince

Summons forth a foul Demon Prince from the deepest reaches of the Abyss. The Demon Prince is mighty among its kind and is a master of cold powers. It serves the conjuror only so that it may wreak havoc upon the material plane. The Demon has some defense versus lethal, smashing, fire and cold attacks. You may only have 1 Demon Prince under your control at any given time. If you attempt to summon another Demon Prince the power will fail.

Recharge	Very Long
Minimum Level	26 (Mastermind)
Effects	Summon Demon Prince
Basic Powers	Ice Blast (Moderate Damage, -Recharge, -Speed)
	Shiver (Cone -Recharge, -Speed)
Equip Powers	Chilling Embrace {Area -Recharge, -Speed)
	Ice Sword (Moderate Damage, -Recharge, -Speed)
	Block of Ice (Moderate Damage, Hold, -Recharge, -Speed)
Upgrade Powers	Ice Slash (High Damage, -Recharge, -Speed)
	Frozen Aura (Area Moderate Damage, Sleep)
Enhancements	Enhance Accuracy
	Enhance Damage
	Reduce Endurance Cost
	Enhance Hold Duration
	Enhance Sleep Duration
	Enhance Slow
Set Categories	Pet Damage
	Holds
	Sleep
	Slow Movement

 

 

Since Neiska was kind enough to post a build, I put something together.   Not to take advantage of +Def set bonuses, but to take advantage of +Recharge.  I can safely say that any /Thermal MM would like more +Recharge.

Oh, one other thing, the Soulbound Allegiance:  Chance for Build Up works fantastic in Summon Demons.  Its ok in the Prince power, but really shines in Summon Demons.

[Lyrium]

Good catch about Ghost Widow proc! I will change it to Slow proc

 

I will check your build when I fix Mids (it has stopped working for some reason 😕 ) But you seem to have posted a /Poison build, not a /Thermal one 🙂

 

EDIT: Nevermind, I see your intention 🙂 I'll study it!

Question about this! Isn't the Overwhelming Force KB to KD enough for this? Or is it not global? Sorry for so many questions, I just came back after a looong vacation from the City 🙂

No, you can use the sudden acceleration KB to KD proc.

 

Also @hellona100, while you are correct the prince opens with that attack, it is also a higher rate of added damage. But you really cant go wrong with any proc, all of them I have tried are noticeable in damage. It varies by pet type, as beasts seem to be the best at Procs, followed by Robots. But Demons do pretty well with them too.
