Good pointQuote from Iguanaonastick»
Im sorry, but how exactly does it free a ring slot? Both LoN and F+R require 2 ring slots.
I disagree with the other thing though. New items may outclass sets, you cant know what future builds will be. Plus the new channelling builds will be using this

I thought CHD was a range, there you go. I guess then the only variation is from my actual damage. Also good to know how non-crit skills actually interact with CHC and CHD.
Damage is good with BP if you can get that uptime because you can stack extra mainstat (especially on amulet). I'm not sure if stacking min-max damage, attack speed or mainstat would be best but I just use mainstat for the extra defense.
My Monk can crit on average for 5b with Deadly Reach (2pc Raiment, DD, Shenlongs) which decimates enemies around GR60 when numbers are yellow. But when there's too many mobs BP just will not proc and I end up having to run away to space out enemies, which is terribly counter productive.
Sweeping Wind helps me get some uptime but it takes up a skill slot which is rough. I've tried replacing the spender and not using F&R but the damage was noticably lower. My next attempt will be something that can run without CDR as that frees up more stats on gear and a skill slot in place of Epiphany. Though not using Epiphany is very hard, being at GR60+ without Unity is already scary enough as it is.
Enough about my build though, im hoping that after 2.4 we'll be able to try out a few more builds with BP. I'm already planning a Sleet Storm wizard and that rune seems to play friendly enough with BP, so it may be worth investigating. The new Sweeping Wind monk seems like it could work with it too seeing how SW procs BP quite well. Anyone tried BP with Whirlwind Barb yet??

yep. 2.4 Jade Harvest hopefully.

Did some WD tests.
Corpse Spiders:Insane uptime on BP ring. After a lot of jar throwing it can interrupt the "no-crit" streak though. Probably still the best skill I've found for it though as 1 jar can trigger 100chc
Grin reaper: clones can proc bp. This I think is an important find, as especially for pet builds you can dodge and let your clones proc the ring. Mine were using corpse spiders, so much yellow numbers.
Firebats-Hungry Bats : this works well because it's 1 bat per enemy with no aoe. That said its a bad skill because of those facts but seems like a very efficient BP enabler, this + corpse spiders + grin reaper gave me a nice uptime on BP ring
Trying to put together a proper build to test so I've left out a lot of spells. I'll get around to trying some different builds when I'm not getting 1-hitted

I think a firebird's set may be in order. Then i can use snapshotted hydra and F&R

I like the idea of arachyr because you can stack life and 4pc gives %life healing. My wiz is at 1mil life which is bad in a long fight, 40k lph + 40k lps and it still takes ages to heal. Iv cleared gr50 so far, with almost all ancient gear i feel im losing dps with bp. Might have to test a diferent build, but 8 attleast found a decent non Bp build lol. I should mention im on console with like 10k of each mat so its quite easy to test these setups. Which is all i do considering im not farming. My HC account is what i use for real play

More cdr? Lol. So what do you do, punch a mob til you see yellow and tap SSS? You should try turning off damage numbers altogether and just playing the build, see if it improves your time. My build may work differently but keeping track of bp only slows me down

Its weird though, I imagined spiders giving instantaneous proc since there's so many little hits. I've found that while some skills are great for bp, as soon as you try to add another spell into the mix it can wreck the process. I guess it about finding the balance or running a "freaky" build.
On that note I've had some more success with dal rasha setup. Piercing Orb seems to work well and im now using Familiar - Cannoneer which seems to proc twice as fast as I guess its an additional hit. It also gives me a reliable source of arcane damage so I don't have to teleport - calamity into packs and its just generally better for added COE damage. I tried triumvirate with frozen orb which again was nice when it worked but it wasn't very often. I'm now using blizzard - FS which procs quite well alongside Bubble and adds more cc which I sorely needed. That leaves bubble as fire damage which I must say is very useful with a molten impact meteor in the middle of it.
I'm getting the feeling that bubble snapshots my CHC but it may just be BP and COE rotating, its hard to keep track of all the stacks and buffs on this one. Need to do some controlled testing without COE.
I still want to try a pure Delsere build because I'm keen to run Focus & Restraint with BP in cube. I may create a WD though to test, I'm very curious about his interactions, and if you could find a way to give a reliable uptime on BP you could get some insane pet damage, that is assuming that pets don't reset the no-crit stack

Ive read mixed answers when it comes to Fetishes proccing bp, that would probably be the most important one I could think of.
I've started playing a Dal Rasha BP and its a bit underwhelming. Meteor shower ± living lightning + time bubble gets a fairly decent crit ratio but it's too unpredictable for meteor drops if they don't crit. I think pure delsere’s would be better especially after 2.4

And I'll probably still get this patch before Magic Origins gets released on PS4

"My LoN build can't 1 shot everything anymore, my butt hurts" should have been the post topic

Ban wave to all the paragon 10,000s on console? That'd be nice

Blizzard should hire me I'm just saying
