[quote=MeatHeadMikhail;/members/110670-meatheadmikhail]IIRC a lot of elite affixes are also considered melee so it does reduce damage from those as well
The most dangerous affixes for Reakor barb - Electrified and Fire Chains - are both ranged. Looks like I need to hope for a good Etlich then! As for BK ring, I'm considering it, but not sure if dropping SoJ will be worth it. For those debating, it is 0.4% up to 2000% weapon damage of CURRENT hp, so less effective the longer it lasts and of course you have to be in melee range. Also heals for 1% hp/s when it does damage. I was not aware that it could tick twice, source?
Ugh ... the more I think about it the more I would LOVE Etlich + SoE combo and just drop IP (I have a GG SoE already).
And thank you for the ranged/melee spreadsheet, I was not aware! I was watching some videos while learning this spec, i wanna say i saw it was in chainers video, it may have been ptr though.
I still like string of ears, gbosses melee hard.
Grats on a 49 sirio, I think thats the highest ive seen since patch. If you would of gotten raziel would you fight him or just quit? He wrecks me when he gets around 30% hp, even on 42
Did it change in 2.12 or was the video i watched wrong? Thanks for the info.
First run of the day i cleared a 43 with 5mins left (stoneslinger). Im getting better at leaving almost dead packs and yellow bosses. Seems to be part of the learning curve.
I really didnt like the cassius belt (good rolls but only 4sec ip), i kept dying. Cassius = ip, ears = warcry, swap the skill based on your belt choice. Just felt like a lot less damage with the ears and didnt have to manage the cd since its always up.
Im at the point now where i can can always clear a 42 (no matter the rg) and can probably do a 44 if i get a poison boss at the end. Failed on a few 43's by a few secs but getting like Rime and other teleporters who stand in their own mess. Its all rng now, shrines next to the boss or an easy boss. D3hud would really help as well to locate shrines instead of randomly running around at 99% looking for one (costing time because i never find one).
Frenzy is still out best choice for rift guardians, maybe drop your soj and get a bk ring. it does .4% of the rg's hp twice a sec. it caps out at 3000% wep damage (takes the lower number 3000 or .4%) But you get like 30mil ticks twice a sec.
I prefer string of ears + warcry over cassius pride. I have no probs with raka (highest ive faced him is 41). You can also use your charge to interupt his cast when he does the hands thing.
