Arc Discharge has been a standard combination even before this implementation by Rico. It's working fine, and as intended by him. I'm discharging with 10+ charges at a time now.

I'd give it a whorl.


Edit :

@ RICO

Where should I place my last two points under Juggernaut?

Unyleding which give u 30% more dmg. while discharge - 35% and u have + 30% so u just lose 5% dmg.

how do you leap slam with no mana! im running the updated build and i'm loving it!

If you want to squize Leap Slam into it you need to rearange gems a bit:

CWDT - Immortal Call - Increased Duration put in shield (drop Enfeeble)

Now unlink 4l boots to have 2 x 2link and put there:

Blasphemy - Curse of your choice

Leap Slam - Blood Magic

Unyeilding for even more dmg and tankiness.

If I understood the changes of how Mjolner works, for every trigger event you will trigger one skill gem. So Its either Arc or Discharge that will proc, and I really think discharge with any amount and combination of charges will be better.

Not really. I've tested Discharge - CD - Elemental Focus, was decent but with Arc its better.

Now why is that? Simply because cooldown timer is not per Mjolner but per each spell socketed in it. So you will still cast Discharge 10 times /s and Arc 10 times /s (each having their own 100ms cooldown) the only difference is that they will not trigger at the same time. In ideal scenario with 100% chance to hit 100% chance to cast on hit and 10 hits per secound you will squize max out of it, both spells will cast 10 times / s just one 100ms after another.

This build has 93% chance to hit (monsters that are at lvl 92, so capped 95% chance really) 100% chance to cast, just above 5 aps to generate at minimum 10 hits /s with Molten Strike (one from initial hit + at least 1 from balls). So we are sure we're getting max out of 100ms cooldown with Molten Strike and we're casting Discharge and Arc both at 10 times per secound frequency.


I'm still experimenting on which gem order in Mjolner is better but I think Discharge - Arc rather than Arc - Discharge.


All right guys give me some feedback on how its going as theres a CI CoC (B)itch waiting in line for 2.4 optimisation :)

Testing crazy mods and with vulnerability, better swap EW for Enfeeble, because you can die by 1 hit (lots of mobs, crit. multiplier...).

"Cast a Socketed Lightning Spell on Hit" means one and only one spell per trigger event, and therefore you need 20 hits per second to cast Discharge 10 times /s and Arc 10 times /s. I tested this myself but you can do the same: use normal attacks and socket Mjolner with ball lightning and shock nova.

Two questions , it´s better 7EC/4PC, or 6EC/5PC ?

And what about to put BR (up to 20% AS) where you put Enfeeble? (because we lost 16% AS from Devoto´s Devotion)

There's no way that the setup in your video is doing 200k average dps. I have a CoC video from before 2.4 where someone worked out my average dps to be around 400k with all flasks up and I kill those bosses almost instantly.

So at most you will cast 2 spells (Discharge and Arc once as per your setup) per volley of projectiles or 6 spells per Multistrike.

Yeah but one of those guys with physical link walked out of Discharge range in my video, others were immune to dmg during this time so it looks longer than it should. Also I think you were doing WAY more than 400k dps in that video...

So now lets bring out some numbers...

After nerf build is doing 15.2k per Discharge on average (with 3/4 charges being that average).
Build is triggering 10 Discharge casts/s.
10 * 15.2 = 152k.
Build has 41% elemental penetration (39% from EW curse +2% from tree).
So vs 0% resistance targed it dishes out 152k * 1.41 = 214k DPS on average (not counting shock status from Arc, not counting Arc dmg itself).
Vs 40% resistance target (most of Bosses) it does 114k dps on average (counting 60% curse effectiveness, not counting shock status from Arc, not counting Arc dmg itself).

The only way it might do less than stated is when there's actually less than 10 Discharges per secound (which has to be proved).

But this is exactly all that we need. One trigger per initial hit + one from balls. With 5+ aps 2 hits each, this generate 10+ triggers / s. So its working with the 100ms cooldown this way.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not alpha & omega after all.

Thinking about to remove 2 nodes from tree (5% life and 4% life) and put Intuitive Leap and swap my jewel (14% spell dmg / 7% max. life) and get +1 EC and +1PC, so total is 8EC/5PC , it´s worth?
