Well, ur missing out on 253% ed...

Well ST can max give you 120+36+56
465 - 212 = 253


400 + ((22+70)/2) + ((41+44)/2) = 488 base damage.
488 * 5,65 = 2760
488 * 3,12 = 1522

Pheonix ST = 50 life
Magic ST = 60 life

If u want to use shako instead of coa, ur damage will be further nerfed by using BER runes in ur ST.
Only advantage i can see is that u can ChamBer ur coa with a magic ST and using a Ber in shield instead.
That will also give you more life/stats via a fcr ring instead of an raven.
Shako builds will ofc also have an fhr issue which can only be fixed by loosing life's elsewhere, unless ur putting fhr jewels in magic shield. (30ed/7fhr/9str or dex/30lr)

So lets compare two builds for SVS:
Magic ST:
Grief Ba 400
Sacred targe: 8%DR/165% ED/15ias/60lr/18fhr/18dex
Gloves: 20ias/10cb/15str/15dex/20life/30lr
Belt: Dungo
Boots: Waterwalks
Armor: Enigma
Ring 1: Wisp
Ring 2: 10fcr/25str/15dex/20life/30lr
Amulet: 2pala/20fcr/20dex/60life
= 4752 life + 50%DR + 58fhr + 30fcr tel:+ 7803-8536+ 7803-8536[/URL] damage

Pheonix ST
Grief PB
Phoenix 465
Gloves: 20ias/10cb/15str/15dex/20life/30lr
Belt: Dungo
Boots: Waterwalks
Armor: Enigma
Ring 1: Wisp
Ring 2: Raven
Amulet: 2pala/20fcr/30str/60life
= 4639 life + 50%DR + 40fhr + 20fcr tel:+ 9459-10347+ 9459-10347[/URL] damage


Your ideas are good but you’re not balancing damage and life correctly. Diminishing returns exist.

Looking at this gear:

CoA Ber Ber
Shako Ber
Enigma
Grief PB
Grief BA (needed? Or just BA)
FoH stick/CTA with JSToD (or just spirit off hand?)
Spirit ST 45 all res
Phoenix ST 45 all res
2/20 amulet
Raven/Wisp/BK/10 FCR Ring
Trang Gloves
Verdungo
Waterwalk

PCombs, torch, Anni, res/life sc

Questions:

Grief BA will be situational with PB generally better?

Phoenix is generally best now that the animation is fixed? Spirit to hit 75 FCR.

JSToD with facets for FoH worth it or just stick with an easy spirit?

Any gear missing from the core build other than situational gear swap?

You can have a foh stick/foh cta + jstod 20/-20 at swap sometimes.
But 3hs cta + spirit is very Nice.

On d2lod i used 2foh/3hs cta + 20/-20 st 45@ on swap, then used my mainhand sop just while boing if tryhard.

But foh is now much better, and phoenix is now much better as well.

So either:
Coa BerCham+ spirit(75fcr setup) / pheonix 48fcr setup + wisp + 10fcr ring
Or
20fcr/berbercham or griiffon+ 10fcr ring + wisp + pheonix
Other gear:
Dungo
Enigma
Waterwalks
Trang ouls
2/20/adds ammu

Never take off wisp/nature peace unless dueling 1v1 ele dru or firesorc or blizz.


You can also have a BerBer coa if u want that 50% slow 30fcr dr setup


this but imo dancers > waterwalk

hit 48 fhr easily, save 10 dex for all vita setups, gain 10 frw

and when you wanna use 2x 5 fhr 5@ scs to hit that 48 with waterwalk, you even have more life with 2x 20-5 + dancers too
