Build Guide

Percent damage increase break down:

100% Overall Damage increase from Deathwish

100% Overall Damage Increase from Endless Walk 2pc Jewelry Set

100% Damage increase on Energy Twister for each Energy Twister out (I averaged 6-7 twisters. 700%)

25% Overall Damage Increase from Mantel of Channeling

200% Fire Damage increase from Convention of the Elements

40% Overall damage increase from Passives

TOTAL: 1165% Damage Increase on Energy Twister.

This does not include the extra percent damage bonus given by the Firebirds set.

How the build works:

This build is very straight forward. All you have to do is cast Disintegrate and your energy twisters will melt everything in sight.

With Ransolor's Folly equipped, mobs are tightly packed off and away from you. Which is important because high level GRIFT mobs hurt!

This build does require decent density.

Elites will be vaporized.

Reflects Damage Hurts.

Frost Nova vs Cold Affix's = low visibility.

Question about the "1165%" damage increase; are all of those sources additive like that? Seems like %elemental from CoE should be multiplicative with the %skill damage from Twisted Sword, should be (maybe?) multiplicative with the sum of the other overall %damage increases?

So, I think it would look more like this (and anyone please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here, or if anything I've added should actually multiply:
(100% Base + 100% Deathwish + 100% Endless Walk + 25% Mantle + 35% Passives) * (100% Base + 200% CoE) * (100% Base + 6-700% Twisted) = 7560 - 8640% total damage increase

This is of course depending on how many concurrent twisters you have going, WHILE CoE is up, and assuming no other sources of %ele or %skill damage from items. This also doesn't account for legendary gem multipliers, I'm not quite sure where those get added/multiplied.

(edit: Math is hard)

I'll be honest with you here. I have no idea which %damage increases are multiplicative and which are additive. I do know that this build hits some insanely high numbers so you may be correct. The highest numbers I have seen have been between 50-60bil. I'll have to do some more research on how the items interact.

I can tell you that the magic weapon, audacity, unwavering will, CoE, Mantle of Channeling, and Endless Walk are all Multiplicative. My guess is that the twisted sword is only additive, but don't quote me on that, because i have no clue. most things that are low in number, like 10-30%, are most of the time Multiplicative, as if they were additive, they would give squat damage. Most higher end things, like the 200+ stuff is Additive, as that starts getting ridiculous if it was multiplicative. thats why CoE and Endless Walk are so good, as CoE triples your damage, and endless walk doubles it on top of that. together,they provide 6 times your normal damage. with how the patch is going, and the fact that there are a increase amount of 100+% Multiplicative items popping up, the Deathwish is also a Multiplicative item.
