The build basically has 100% chance of casting specials twice which in this case are Smokebombs & Whirlingblades, every cast doubles it, that’s a lot of Smokebombs & Whirlingblades casts.
Key factors for the build are :
25% Specialist on 4 Items to get 100%.
Mirror Image Proc. or Trickster Set (or both), the build will be using Whirlingblades, Mirror Image can cast Whirlingblades, more Mirror Image means more blades, paired with Deception (30) Talent that adds extra survivability or Blindside (30) Talent for Whirlingblades damage, the talent choice depends on you.
Elements Set for more chances of double casting spells.
70% Reduced CD to spam Smokebombs (1.5 sec CD).
Elemental Crits (Immolate) & Elemental Damage (Blistering) for bleed to sync with Ruptured Mythic Skill (Chest).
Bombardier (30) Talent, that’s a lot of Smokebombs.
Gameplay at Floor 3400+ M3 :
Since there’s a downtime window when you cast Whirlingblades and wait for it to return, spam your Smokebombs while the blades are still spinning. Just stand in the middle of everything and spam both spells. Stealth Proc. with Stealth (30) + Deception (30) with Mirror Images + Insta Dodge per Smokebombs is enough for you to survive (although you can still die based on RNG alone, but very rarely as you can see on the video). The build has 75% Dodge by the way.
PS : If you don’t want the 30% Elemental Critical along with 100% Blistering Legend affix and want to swap it out with something else, be sure to choose the Razored Talent (Amulet) instead of Darkness Talent for Bleed purposes for Ruptured Mythic Skill (Chest).
I’m using SmokeScreen on one of my Rogue builds. it isn’t maximized like I’d like it to be, but I like how it can reach some of the ranged enemies that are always sniping me.
@Golem I kinda don’t like how the Smokescreen set works with my build, it’s pretty random, but I think it’s pretty awesome with Taunt Proc or Cyclone Mythic Skill (unfortunately I don’t have a slot for it).
this build gave me an idea for +100% Mirrorcast Wand Barrage build. about 118 Bolts a second.
I’m thinking of what else to put in the build before I start working on it. plus, I need to look at what Items I need for the build for the best synergy. can’t roll Mirrorcast with Ruby .
Bow from Hunger Set (Rogue), Chakram & Mirror from Periphery Set (Rogue), Ring from Arcanist Set & Mythitech Set (Wizard), that brings to 75% Mirrorcast, but if you’re jaspering Bow or Chakram it’ll be a Blast or Comet for Wizard, is there a Flintlock (Rogue) or Lance (Warrior) that has mirrorcast affix to make this idea possible? @Golem
PS : I can’t find the 4th item to make the 100% Mirrorcast, there’s few items but all of it are on the same slots (MH, OH & Ring). I can’t find the last Mirrorcast affix on either Chest, Head & Amulet or maybe I just missed it.
looks like +50% Mirrorcast is the best I can do for my Wand Barrage build idea. the only way to make it up is with Double Strike and/or Elements Set.
the thing that makes it really hard is that I was really wanting to have Orb OH for Teleport. stuck with Bracer for OH (Mirror Jaspers to Bracer) and Ring for +50% Mirrorcast Wand build .
already part of the build idea. can’t have a crazy Barrage build without Angelic Set.
I have found a workaround for 100% Mirrorcast @Golem
Eternals, the items with mirrorcast affix mentioned above can have 50% Mirrorcast Affix each, so you just need two, but this still involves heavy RNG as crafting eternals doesn’t guarantee a 50% Mirrorcast affix (can’t reroll).
If by any chance you’ll get lucky and got two 50% Mirrorcast Affix on those eternals, the worst part is you’d still be force to play with Bracer (if you choose to go Wand MH since you’ll be choosing Ring & Bracer Eternals for the 100% Mirrorcast).
There’s a Bracer on the Aetherial Drain Set (Wizard) with Mirrorcast Affix.
This is such a complicated & hard route, involves rng & tons of dust to craft. I don’t recommend this unless you have tons of dust & willing to spend it.
I tend to stay away from Eternal Items for my builds. but if I found one with great stats that fits a build, that would be a different matter for sure.
thanks for the info on the Aetherial Drain Bracer.
