[2.1 Video Guide] Crit Magma Orb Guide - Dropping Bombs! [SC Build & Atziri Viable]

"

Have been following this one. Normal was a little slow, the skill is not the greatest for low level, perhaps Flameblast or Firetrap is a better idea. The fact I'm in a crappy hotel on a crappy laptop with either a crappy wifi or a crappy 3g connection didn't help.

Now in Cruel, with Magma Orb + Spell Echo + Fire Penetration in a +1 all skills wand and the Curse on Hit 4-Link I'm practically face-rolling through the game.

I can't wait to see how it fares in Merciless. :)

Why are you avoiding ALL jewel spots? Jewels bring insane stats which outperform many nodes, it is not that hard to find the right ones & even blue ones can bring something like +16% Fire Damage & +16% Spell Damage (which is obviously much more damage than most nodes offer!).

For example - let's have a view at the final build. It uses 4 points to get to "Arcane Potency" in the upper left. Those 4 points are sinking into: +10 Int, +30% Crit Multi, +50% Crit Chance.
If you would spend those 4 points differntly, you could get 2 jewel spots and +20 Int. A perfectly rolled rare gem (if you would choose to take crit - which is inferior to the spell damage possibilities!) the maximum you could get are per gem 28% Spellcrit Chance & 22% Crit Multiplier. Because you can have two gems in this scenario, you would get in the end +20 Int (instead of 10), 44% Crit M. (instead of 30%) and 56% Crit Chance. If you would go for Spell Damage instead, your damage increase would be even higher (even if the jewel is not perfectly rolled), because as op stated, crit is not your first priority - furthermore there are also some pretty epic uniques.


I do believe that this build works, but it is not optimized from my point of view, it lacks in usage of the new awakening-game-mechanics.
