1.05 HoX builds here

[hr][/hr]

Did a nice SH run on TL today with this build

[Gert]

Matches what I'd expect - more DPS than Conflag Demo but less burst...

Biggest crit was:

Your Hellfire Breath (Rank 5) crits Crocodile Retinue for 1847 fire damage.

[Lyss]

Thanks for the screenie, what hotkey did you use to take it? I can't remember

[Gert]

Open and Parse log in latest Conan Stats beta, Alt-Print screen to grab just that app window, copy out the overall stats in Paint.Net and paste to new image, save and upload to the Gallery

Think about this raid/pvp build

[Lyss]

Sigh, having a really hard time making up my mind about what's the best build now As you're going for hybrid raid/pvp I think that's a good build Taf. Next Kylikki raid we should both run our HoXes with different builds so we can compare

[Alb]

That is actually a good idea ... hopefully that minimizes testing (aka spending money resetting the feats)

[Tafale]

Lyss, I think this will be my Sunday build

[Lyss]

Looks very interesting. I'll be running my old build to compare my performance to 1.04.

My current build

[Sath]

i finally gave up upon my long time demon illusion and fire lance and respec'ed to pure posession: Sath@71.
It's all built up around damage for Hellfire Breath. The fire damage increasers work good for me so far. i like the bang for the money.
About this is my current target for level 80: Sath@80. Depends on what the raids will bring .
Or is Avatar better than Possesion for raiding?

[Gert]

I know the build Tafale uses regularly tops or is 2nd on the raids...so what he uses seems to work nicely for raids

So a high Hellfire Breath can't compensate the lack of DoTs? ok. Well, at least for levling my build's burst damage is very nice.
On raids, do HoXes run out of mana or out of stamina? Or just out of health?

[Sath]

Tome of Eric looked better as it is. Seems it adds to base dmg only and is not taking + dmg modifiers into account.
Doing this a.t.m.. For long boss fights Demonic Supplication (Long time demon illusion) + Fire Lance looks better to me than Inferno or Chains of Anguish.
Doing Villa melee mobs with this setup works usually like this: Pull with Flame Lash, start HellStrikes Combo, cast HellfireBreath, finish Combo: dead. If there is a 2nd mob, most times another HellfireBreath and a melee hit does it. If not, then I Eat your Heart + maybe another Hellfire Breath finishes them.
On solo bosses or larger groups of mobs i start with my long timers: Molten Steel, Toungue, Demon, Pillar and FireLance (incl. HellfireBreath whenever it's up).
Will be interesting to see if on long time fights the improved fire based casts can make up the missing Searing Curse / Flame Cleave on melee attacks.
Gearwise i am at +659 Fire dmg without any gems in the Nemedian Cursecaller armor yet (can't decide ). Destiny i went for +attack.
Still i don't have experience on long time raid encounters, especially running oom/oos, recast timers, need of Purge / Fear Resistance / Protection, but hopefully that will come soon.

Current Build (giving me 830 magic damage)

Really good dps when going full burn and has gotten me two compliments from Destiny members.

[Alb]
