Thx for the reply. Sadly i havent found the belt or ammy yet so im doing alot of running about. Do you have a link to a proper first of heavens temps build?
Thx
Don
I've put on gear and some basic skills for a 2h maximus build that you might try using, considering the gears that you have on right now.
Firestarter, consecration and heaven tempest are a must for elite melting while the others are changable. Indestructible passive is good as when it activates, most of the elite will be half or less hp. I usually just pony and run around at elites while the demon chain kills them off. Pretty much fills the hp back up as long as you kill a few mobs when Indestructible is active.
I just got 6p (5p + RoRG) Akkhan and will most likely play Firestarter, Holy Shotgun and Lord Commander. Try them all.
Any advice would be great! Thanks!
It would be nice to roll off All Res for CDR. Personally, I'd roll All Res into Vit as seeing you have 377k hp. Need a higher hp pool to soak the damage in higher torment and make better use of the passives.
I have just got geared for the shotgun build and I do not 'feel' it yet. I have akkhan set bonus, 41-42% CDR and I feel I run out of wrath too often hence cannot maintain dmg for higher torments (t3 is mostly pretty easy).
What do you recommend? Is there a trick?
I was planning captain's set once I get the helm and ofc the SOJ is missing. Where shall I roll cdr? Other than that I know my gear is not perfect but not oo bad either (at least for the time I have:)
Easy: Craft a pair of Reaper's Wraps with + elemental damage, STR, VIT & Crit damage. You may also try changing the rune of AC to Embodiment of Power. Problem solved.
Also, I think playing Shotgun is a matter of technique. Always try to hit the mobs with all three beems. Don't waist it on a single trashmob and so on. I play Shotgun to since yesterday and have a lot to learn.
Regarding CDR: You need it on both rings to get to perma-AC. I'd reroll the RoRG.

That is actually an excellent idea! At first I didn't think that, but now when I've been thinking about it... More life = more healing. And extra holy damage from + HF skill is even more healing i figure? AR --> CDR is what I'm leaning towards. Also, I could just change a gem in my pants to get extra AR if needed. I'll just get another pair of shoulders for other builds. Thank you jameslimah!
So my current build is based on lightning hammerdin since the only viable weapon I have been blessed with by the RNG gods is a Schaefer's. My total lightning damage in-game is about 775k. I'm using the Cain's 3pc for the magic find because there are still tons of pieces I need. I do wish my dmg was higher, so could use advice on getting my damage up. I play T2 when solo just fine, and when grouped I play T3-4, but don't feel like I contribute as much as I would like to.
Worth noting, in my stash I do have a Stone of Jordan (with cold dmg which would need to be rerolled to the appropriate ele, and the other primary stats are weak, so not even sure if it's worth using) and a nicely rolled Cindercoat, so the only thing preventing me from going a fire spec is my lack of a viable weapon.
I received a Fate of the Fell from Kadala the other day after having a long dry spell, and now I feel like I'm starting from scratch. I was running a somewhat successful lightning build able to do T4 solo but had some trouble online with him at times. After receiving the Fate, I've been moving equipment around and trying to find a good build with this item to maybe move up to T5. I have equipped an Eberli Charo, but also have a fairly decent Hellskull. I feel like I need the Charo because of very low cooldown. I could switch crit dmg to cooldown, but I think that'd hamper my 1/10 ratio quite a bit. I may have some other equipment to help optimize him in my stash, but get a little overwhelmed trying to figure out what to look for and equip. Looking for any suggestions you might have!
Look into getting Maximus, Akks pieces, and a Royal Ring of Grand. The Latter will free up several pieces for you and allow you to mix in some other gear. Also try to roll a socket on your helm it will help considerably.
I have been told by a friend that I am rocking to much crit, I known I need fire dmg on the neck but the arcane is too good to pass up (annoyance factor)
Should I be replacing crit, crit dmg, and other things for cool down reduction? I feel like Ill do much less dmg for 2-6 seconds of non akks but I know firestarter is a major dps increase.

Well I think the obvious option with a FoTF is to do a holy shotgun build, and although FoTF is the must have weapon for the build it also requires Holy els stacking and a 6set Akkhan (or 5 set with RoRG) because of the reduced resource cost and the wrath regen bump required to spam HF. If the FoTF doesn't have CDR you would need to reroll it to have it because in my experience getting AC to have 100% uptime requires you to have CDR on pretty close to every piece of gear that can possible have it.
That being said I am unaware of any lightning builds that take advantage of FoTF.
Thank you for replying - I was wondering if that was going to be my option going forward. I'll do some more looking on the Holy Shotgun build and hopefully will build up to that as I continue my search for Akkhan pieces.
My Crusader hit 70 the night before last. I understand that my SoJ is certainly sub optimal but I'd like to know if it's still worth running if only because the rolls even with the int. I haven't really found a definitive fire build so this is what i'm using and I haven't bothered to reroll my pants because I'm starting to run low on souls again. My harringtons dropped right before bed Last night as well as my AK chest. I won't bother running my chest till I get shoulders as my last piece.
I'd love to know if my SoJ is fine till I find another. I don't know the weight of STR. My neck... has been shitty and I haven't found a good one yet. My shield had int on it so I rerolled it for the time being till I find something better. Please let me know what you think. My lack of crit is killing me just waiting on a good leg or yellow neck to drop haha.
Hey guys,
I finally managed to get Darklight and thus started to roll my gear into it. Would you have any suggestions? I know I dont have even a single Akkrat piece yet What to reroll suggestions are welcome as well. Here is my profile http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/estreiher-2799/hero/39121830
I finally managed to get full Akkhans and use the holy shotgun build but I'm not good enough for T6 yet, other than a few pieces I need to upgrade to better versions of themselves, what else should I do to make it to T6? I feel mostly right now my problem is that I don't have enough CDR to make Akarat's champion more or less permanent and was wondering what I can do to fix that without sacrificing too much damage. I recently found a Royal Ring but haven't found anything worth replacing a piece of Akkhans with, I'd use crimson belt/legs but I think my Harringtons is too good to replace.
I can to T4 pretty easily, T5 is a little slow. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Urazhil-1267/hero/46057960
Trying to get a FoF & Hell shield to go holy shotgun, looking for any suggestion on improvements, I can solo T5 easily enough and T6 if i'm careful (I wouldn't say T6 is efficient by any means)
Hi!
I'd like some reroll advice about my shoulders. The rolled STR, % life, AR and + Heaven's Fury. I need CDR and don't know what to reroll.

T3 is going pretty easy, but i have issues with dmg taken on T4 and above.
Any suggestions please?
