Consecrated Strikes Leveling Build | Project Ascension - Area 52 | PVP, PVE, and Manastorm

[@RobertMartin-c1v]

Nice set up.. Very smooth. Been in game with you a few times. Always a pleasure to see the new builds.

[@Buildspiration]

Thanks, man, it means a lot! Here's to playing together more in the future!

[@rj-yo2ki]

Banger thanks. I'll be trying this tomorrow! Needed something to smash some prestiges and a reason to buy the valor set with my leftover marks :)

[@Buildspiration]

I tend to run valor set on most things. If you search for MilkTheBull under leveling builds and see strength as a preset, I most likely had valor gear on while using it. I look forward to running into you!

[@rwandrew077]

Woot!!!

[@Buildspiration]

Woot woot! Now we just gotta get your linux thing figured out so we can play together!

[@Amaaros]

Great video! Can't wait to try out the build for myself!

[@Buildspiration]

If you need help getting the mystic enchants together, send me a letter in-game! :)

i used something very similar, but i took also combination of Slice and Dice + Improved Slice and Dice 2/2 + Honor Among Thieves 3/3 which further increase melee attack speed and melee crit. Deep Wounds 3/3 + Blood Frenzy 2/2 also increase Physical damage done and Melee attack speed

[@Buildspiration]

That's actually how I tend to run it at 70! I had to make some concessions, since it's a leveling build designed to be simple to use. For example, taking two different types of judgement, because you don't get JoJ until 28, and there's no way to tell the build to remove JOW. Also, with wanting it to be easy for everyone to run, it's one less mechanic for them to worry about. Do you tend to go mace spec as well?

[@siedzihector9938]

​@@Buildspiration Yes. I had more PvE focused build with Sword spec, but then i noticed, that armor penetration from mace spec is more valuable. At first i thought, that axe spec with more crit will be better, but physical damage builds struggle when they lack of armor penetration. Earlier i focused more on melee speed and physical damage done, but then i moved more into raw power, increased damage done, improved armor penetration and increased crit chance, because after it my rotation was more simplified and better coeff with abilities. I also took some +hit talents, that additionally increase AP or Crit, so i need less hit from gear. I have also Ferocity pet (Cat) for extra buffs. Now it's more slow weapon speed hard hitter About mana issues... Shamanistic Rage is good solution, but takes 2 rare slots, that could be used for good buff. Instead you can take Judgement of the Wise 3/3, that synergy with Exorcist's Slash and can be used with any Judgement to replenish mana. I also use combo of Windfury + Mana Spring totem under Call of the Elements. Sadly i can't share build, because YT delete comments with link :D My next goal is to create melee demon tamer

[@Buildspiration]

@ join the discord in the description and share it to me there :D

[@damiencastro14]

Music is 10/10!

[@Buildspiration]

I can't convey how happy I was when I realized I could use Army of Angels. It's been one of my favorite songs for years! Thanks for leaving a comment!

[@VegtamTheWonderer]

Great video! I'm curious if you have ever tried Purification By Light as a primary mystic enchant? It's what I run for PvP leveling and I find it's a lot more flexible for builds than Consecrated Strikes. Though I guess if a Ret Paladin feel is what you're focused on, I guess Consecrated Strikes is kinda already giving you everything you want.

[@Buildspiration]

I haven't tried that one, yet, but I'll have to add it to my list! How do you tend to build it, more caster-like, I would imagine. At least without peeking at other builds, my gut is telling me I'd build it like a shockadin mixed with a holy dps priest. Thank you for your comment, by the way!

[@VegtamTheWonderer]

@@Buildspiration To be honest, I never build all that much spellpower for it. It has a comically high proc rate that with instant damage tick provided by Improved Consecration, it does a surprising amount of damage. And it seems like it can proc on anything (including itself, near as I can tell), so in PvP you can really get a massive amount of Consecration coverage.

[@faithgiant_Ps91]

I noticed you were talking about level 60 cap? Is this for season 9 level 70 stuff as well?

[@Buildspiration]

This build is on area 52. There's a phenomenon amongst prestigers to save up level 60 epics to level from 60 to 70 with, as twinks. It's a lot of fun, actually, especially when you catch level 70s unaware, like in the first minute or two of the video where I'm trying to escape darnassus. (Clicked the wrong portal during a world boss raid) Level 60 prestige boxes give 60 tier gear and tokens, plus you can buy blood forged versions of it on the AH.

[@faithgiant_Ps91]

@ Right on. I'm still really new to project Ascension, so that all sounds like a different language to me, currently, but I will figure it out. Thanks for the heads up, and tips!

[@collodat]

hey man so i just made a hero with OWTL to lvl and its my first char on asecnsion, ive been liking it alot is that just as viable as this?

[@Buildspiration]

I've not played one with the light, myself. That being said, I hear it's quite good, especially in spell power and intelligence gear. One of these days, I'll take a crack at it!
