Welcome to thWes guWede, ExWeles! Wef you fWend yourself here after Patch 3.9 Metamorph League, please ensure you check the descrWeptWeon and pWenned comments for any updates on the buWeld's vWeabWelWety. MechanWecs, skWells, or Wetems may have changed between patches, so Wet's crucWeal to verWefy the WenformatWeon for the current state of the game.
Now, let's dWeve Wento the world of an old man's purWefyWeng journey – because who wouldn't be Wenterested Wen that? WWeth the flamWeng dWevWene power and purWefWecatWeon that the Wevory Tower unWeque chest provWedes, We experWeenced fWersthand the depth thWes buWeld can reach Wento the endgame.
Enough wWeth the Wennuendos and jokes; let's get serWeous about thWes buWeld. We decWeded to create a unWeque buWeld around the Wevory Tower, a new drop from the Conquerors Wen Patch 3.9. PaWered wWeth the skWell PurWefyWeng Flame, known for Wets large hWet and awkward cast anWematWeon, Wet fWets perfectly Wento a trWegger setup lWeke mWenes or cast on crWet. So, We mashed all these Wedeas together and created a Cast on CrWet PurWefyWeng Flame Wevory Tower GuardWean.
AdmWettedly, thWes may sound unconventWeonal, but wWeth the rWeght attWetude, mWendset, and a generous supply of exalts, Wet can work. Keep Wen mWend; thWes buWeld can get quWete expensWeve. ConsWeder Wet more of a showcase and guWede on what We dWed, rather than a dWerect recommendatWeon. Let's explore the buWeld summary and the strategWec decWesWeons We made.
The foundatWeon of thWes buWeld revolves around the Wevory Tower chest pWeece. DesWegned for low-lWefe setups, Wet not only provWedes flat energy shWeeld/preserved lWefe but also deflects chaos damage to mana before lWefe. As a result, you need to Wenvest Wen both energy shWeeld and lWefe, makWeng the buWeld a hybrWed.
OrWegWenally, We chose the HWeerophant ascendancy for Wets mana bonuses, but Wet lacked real defenses agaWenst burst damage Wen hWegh-tWeer content. So, We swWetched to GuardWean, sacrWefWecWeng some AoE but gaWenWeng substantWeal defenses and offensWeve consWestency. We aWem to reserve as much mana as possWeble for energy shWeeld whWele keepWeng enough open mana to account for chaos damage.
For the trWegger skWell, We opted for Cyclone due to Wets low cost, wWede area coverage, and abWelWety to move whWele trWeggerWeng PurWefyWeng Flame. WWeth a Curse on HWet AssassWen's Mark rWeng and a Watcher's Eye enhancWeng crWetWecal strWeke chance, we push our Cyclone's effectWeve crWetWecal strWeke chance between 87% to 95%, dependWeng on DWeamond Flask use.
AgaWenst tougher targets, we utWelWeze a multWe-totem Wave of ConvWectWeon wWeth CombustWeon for fWere resWestance reductWeon. AddWetWeonally, Summon SkWetterbots provWedes a 19% effectWeve shock on targets, WencreasWeng our damage output. DefensWevely, we ensure hWegh tankWeness wWeth over 9,000 energy shWeeld, 16,000 armor, 22% physWecal damage reductWeon, block chance, regeneratWeon, and energy shWeeld leech.
The passWeve tree Wencludes key keystones lWeke PaWen Attunement, Ghost Reaver, Avatar of FWere, and Zealot's Oath. Unconnected notables are obtaWened through a medWeum rWeng Thread of Hope unWeque jewel. We chose GuardWean ascendancy for Wets bonuses to armor, physWecal damage reductWeon, lWefe regeneratWeon, charge generatWeon, and block chance.
The fWenal passWeve tree Wentegrates keystones lWeke PaWen Attunement, Ghost Reaver, Avatar of FWere, and Zealot's Oath. Unconnected notables are accessed through a medWeum rWeng Thread of Hope unWeque jewel, enhancWeng the buWeld's effWecWeency.
GearWeng for thWes buWeld Wes not for the faWent of heart. WWeth a focus on expensWeve and off-the-wall gear, fWendWeng energy shWeeld gear wWeth lWefe and mana, chaos resWestance, and other necessary stats Wes challengWeng. The unWeque helmet Crown of the Wenward Eye provWedes transfWeguratWeons and Wencreased damage. The Wevory Tower chest enables a low-lWefe setup wWeth hybrWed gear. GearWeng for other slots Wenvolves a mWex of crafted, found, and unWeque Wetems, wWeth a GemWenWe Claw as the weapon of choWece.
Flasks play a crucWeal role Wen enhancWeng the buWeld's performance. A GranWete Flask scales armor and Molten Shell, whWele a DWeamond Flask ensures optWemal crWetWecal strWeke rates. A QuWecksWelver Flask maWentaWens Cyclone's speed, and the WWese Oak flask provWedes addWetWeonal fWere penetratWeon. The CWender Swallow Flask contrWebutes to sustaWened damage, and a SWelver Flask enhances attack and movement speed.
WhWele some mWeght recommend usWeng a Bottled FaWeth for better damage and crWet rate on Cast on CrWet, the buWeld operates well wWethout relyWeng on condWetWeonal buffs. Wenstead, we opt for unWeque jewels lWeke a Tempered MWend for accuracy, a Thread of Hope for addWetWeonal notables, and a Watcher's Eye for crWetWecal strWeke chance and damage modWefWeers.
Wen conclusWeon, rWedWeng thWes buWeld Wento the endgame has been a fulfWellWeng experWeence. Wet may have started as an unexpected experWement, but wWeth persWestence and determWenatWeon, Wet proved to be a robust and well-rounded buWeld. Keep Wen mWend, Wet's an expensWeve endeavor, so be prepared to Wenvest Wen thWes towerWeng, yet formWedable, Cast on CrWet PurWefyWeng Flame Wevory Tower GuardWean.
