Love this w/t
Nice job on nigma man

Thanks, that item really switched up the gameplay :thumbsup:

Scary, aura procced the curse and then the entire pack was about to charge from behind a pillar. Lucky s/e :blink:

Res with Conviction is... Not too bad I guess? Happy I won't be farming Chaos/Baal after I get my Token :blush:

Once Life Tap procs, me and Ilzan's survivability skyrockets. Really glad I found my Cat's Eye, the 20 ias keeps me at the fastest breakpoint without needing the 20 ias gloves

Runs are dangerous, take forever and only give me garbage. Token soon please :baby:

This might be part of why. I'm assuming this % is an estimate, and doesn't factor in Conviction Aura. Can anyone clarify?

Triple bosspack outside of Throne Room. Had initially skipped them, but needed to clear them in preparation for wave 5

Since I felt comfortable, and pretty certain this setup was an upgrade over the previous, I decided to go ahead and use my last respec to make the runs faster/safer. I did a bit of theorycrafting at work, and compared the loss of kick damage from Fortitude to an Enigma spec.

I always get incredibly anxious that I'll mess up when respeccing. Don't mess up. Don't. Mess. Up.

I messed up.

Lucky break though, had this sitting in stash. Replaced a plain 11fr M-skin, and we're back in business :thumbsup:

New stats in action:

Shadow Disciplines:

Traps:

Martial Arts:

Skill-wise the only real change is in Martial Arts. Since I don't need Dragon Flight (so long, 23 frame tele animation) I'm saving 3 skill points. I put 2 extra points in Dragon Talon, allowing me to reach 5 kicks with Enigma, Arach and BC from CTA. The last saved skill point went into LS synergy.

My kick damage took a hit. I messed up a screenshot of old kick stats, but according to the formula in this thread (https://www.diabloii.net/forums/threads/kicking-basics.127905/) they should be:

Old=1032-1671
New=820-1274

At the same time, going from 4 to 5 kicks, I'm increasing my kick speed from 6.25 to 6.57 kicks per second. This carries my magic damage and Frozen Orb procs, narrowing the damage gap a little bit.

It's all napkin math, and tomorrow or the day after I'll do a better comparison/presentation of the numbers :thumbsup:

In summary though, here is a short Pros/Cons list of my new Enigma build:

Pros:

+106% MF
+3 all skills
+~10% overall run speed
+~300 LS damage
+~300 life
+~5% kick speed
TELEPORT :banana:

Cons:

-7% DR
-30@
-~300 average kick damage

That's all for tonight folks, remember the bets are still open, guess when I get my token for some ez fg

Cheers

Heheh, good job you that that SC huh

And I'm pretty certain the -def from Conviction won't show on your character's chance-to-hit screen!

Run #10: Tal's mask > this

Jewel would've been pretty cool if I was shooting for Andariel's (and had a socket Q to spare)

Run #11: Finally Gface #2! I believe this > Andariel and Gaze big time, especially since he gets leech from Life Tap :banana:

Run #12: 1:542400 @144mf. Don't think I've ever found one, so that's something

That orange text had me excited for a hot second :fume:

Baal just keeps on dropping joke after joke

Run #17: Ding, 93! I'm not sure my old Frenzy Barb hit 93 or if he died @92. Either way, I'm soon higher level than I've ever been in SP :thumbsup:

While the XP is good, the experience isn't. I hate Baal runs, and I hope my Essence drops soon-ish
