t3 is ... lets say ok, t4 doable but i die little too much and dps is too low.
1. Is CotA worth of using in t4,5,6 ?? ofc in fire build to get as much dmg as i can.
2. I want to make EQ (fire) or WW (lightning) or...CotA if will be enought for t4+. Thinking also ofThe Legacy of Raekor mixed with some green/orange items (i have some +fire% gear, few weapons + fire% and one with +26% against elites)). I have Sun Keeper with +26% against elites +fire dmg -but it dont have strg:( , and some axe with +20% fire dmg.
I know that i need change RoRG asap. Make some rerolls in stats (crit dmg to crit chance e.g.), but is that have any sense, if im in the spot where i NEED to change gear, or with this build and with good rerolls and little upgrade i can go for t4+ ?
And yet I am humming along in T6 just fine with WW.
Listen, the long and short of it is call of the ancients damage isn't really great in T5 or T6. However, the utility they bring is useful. 50% damage reduction and fury generation. But for pure damage, its just not going to cut it. You can use WW. I clear T6 just fine with fire and lightning WW, but I would not rely on COTA for damage.
I really don't think WW lightning is that great of a move in t5-t6. The damage of the move just isnt woth a button on the ui. At this point I think Hot or S'S would be great fury spenders. I run CotA lightning rune And like people say the utility is fantastic. However if u have the 2h for the set then it isn't worth it.
CoTA snapshot with IK 4-set is absolutely insane. Key is to maintain 4pc bonus, stack as much main hand APS as humanly possible, pop WoTB, and then pop Ancients.
COTA is perfectly useable in T6--don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
I did a T6 clear with COTA last night using a Rend build as fast or faster than I could with an optimized Leapquake build. Same is true for HOTA or Seismic.
Not once did the Ancients die and they crit in the 10's of millions per hit (I've seen 22 million hits without any significant snapshot with Insanity up).
Rend had hotfix. My CotA die sometimes in T3, when there is a lot of mobs (i mean A LOT). I have Sun Keeper and some wea pon with +19%fire and i own t3. Blue packs die without berserker fast.
Now i have 600k sheet dmg but a lot +fire and elemental so i will try to stay on t4
They will die for me with tough packs in T5, and they generally will alive super long in T4. However I've found that generally I will die long before my ancients do, so I'm reluctant to try T6 yet with my barb. This is with using the fire rune.
If you find your ancients dying, try to hunt for health globes more actively.
