Sorry, video got flagged for copyright so it took off my music/voice-comms. I guess next time I shouldn't listen to music. It's in the process of being edited, so I can cut the clip down to just that clear instead of including the other few attempts I had recorded.
Anyways, pretty excited. First time reaching top 10 U.S (only been playing season(s) since the end of season 3). Going to try and push for 1st
Going to try and get a group for 69-70 so I can start attempting 70 solo's for rank 1 slot U.S.
I could have cut down the timer by an additional 2-5 minutes.
~Had the first floor not been terrible, had to end up skipping to the next causing me to lose 2-3 minutes.
~Had I not gotten greedy going back for the 2-3 rares with conduit. Had I killed the low rare, and then pushed forward and cleared the entire next area - I could have had the rift guardian with ~6-8 minutes remaining.
~Had he not spawned far away, I would of had a lot of archon stacks going into him which allows me to continuously get 100+ stacks and snowball. But since I had to start from 0 it took awhile to ramp up.
~You drop zodiac out of cube and replace with unity. Because of this you have too get CDR in every available slot (70%+). I'm at 70.8% with gogok's and I have perfect CDR roles on every piece.
~Use serpent sparker over fulminator for two mammoth's.
My thoughts/opinions on this build:
~I believe this has a higher grift potential than the others, simply because it's strength is based around the density of the rift. As you can see in the video, the times I was able to get 200+ archon stacks, and 200+ flameblades - I had my mammoth's over 5.0 APS dealing 500m-1bill per hit. On top of the initial burst damage of archon with the flameblades and CoE (fire) would nearly one shot large (good progression) mobs that normally have 100b+ health.
This does sound rather interesting. I will have to give this a try
This is currently me: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Doowie-2784/hero/64583062 only 854 ranked in EU at the moment, but will see how many ranks I can climb with giving your build a shot. Of course will need to get the necklace, but everything else cube wise I already have.
Have you tried Explosive Blast with Woh? It's a decent variant... doesn't do as much damage as Hydra but I've seen crits for 400-500m during the convention window and high stacks. As you are already stacking so much CDR, you get to the crazy levels of overlapping EBs. This also builds Chantodo stacks super fast.
It's a fun variant, by no means meant for top tier progression, but works well in group play.
Note that if EBs overlap you actively lose Woh procs. There's a thread on it over at the US Wiz forums. Also, the big boost of that build is how fast the hydras shoot. EB is fun but is ultimately an enormous DPS loss for the build over Hydra.
are u back to "standard" build? i dont see hydra in your profile
Yes. The hydra build while does more damage than standard, the lack of teleport using Aethers out of Archon makes it so you have to fish even more for ideal rifts. So I just got rid of mammoth's for arcane torrent and dropped CDR.
Very intresting variation of the Archon! I'm currently trying to pass my 68 with it, and the results so far are not bad at all!
Still, I really think that the use of the Enchant+Deflection and AW is the best combo, but by mixing the Classic Archon and the Fire ideas you bring here, you get an super nice result!
I got rid of deflection for flame-blades. I like it more. The deflection at 71+ solo's didn't help at all.

How is Fire Vyrs Build different from the others?

Cleared a 68 US 6th. If I had an easier boss, probably got US 4th.
