Hey guys, today I give you my conclusions on the Archon build coming in 2.3 after a decent amount of testing. It's going to be a very strong build but it's definitely not a lazy playstyle. There's a lot of rotation babysitting - Chantodo stacks, Archon stacks/double stacks, what packs to engage for maximum AP on crit & cooldown reset, fitting in Convention of Elements rotation so it's not wasted (if you're not going double Unity), and more. I discuss all of this, the general gearing strategy, and playstyle.
Please note this was recorded right before the first PTR reset where the belt and 4 piece Vyr's got swapped. Nothing changes though - the belt is still mandatory (50% armor, resists, and attack speed at all times in a single slot). This marks the conclusion of my Archon exploration on the PTR - I'm very excited about rolling this as one of my classes/specs in Season 4, as it's a lot of fun for those who enjoy engaging playstyles. Enjoy & discuss!
Still, one thing: do you think that a build using Broken Promise + changing all ChC into IAS to build up stacks is worth trying? (in the other thread I've been dscouraged to try it).
Well... We will see in the rest of the PTR if the set stays as it is now or get some other change before going live.
Sure, give it a shot. Just in general no one seems to be using Broken Promises right now. Last PTR it was pretty busted but then got nerfed to the point where it's 'meh' now at best. I'm sure I'll give it a go for kicks, but probably not until S4.
It's one of those things that if it was super strong, someone would have mentioned it already (or you would have seen it on leaderboards).
