[2.5] Belton's Mjolner Discharge Lowlife Berserker - 90% max res- 10k es- 6-8 more multipliers

Build Overview and Concept


Mjolner in 2.5? DansGame

Spoiler
I play alot of Discharge. I love Mjolner. When I first started playing PoE it struck me, along with Shavs and Kaoms, as the quintessential PoE Unique, and still to this day I see them as being the most iconic. I've largely played CoC variants over the years, however due to the massive backlash about Mjolner post patch 2.5, and the laughable cost of Mjolner (5c at time of writing)- I wanted to try the build out for myself and see how it fared in comparison. I was pleasantly surprised, and decided to share here in case anyone else was having thoughts about giving it a go.

I have been streaming the process of gearing and leveling this character for the past couple of days. It is very fresh still. VODs of this can be found at https://www.twitch.tv/jamesbelton/videos/all. In the future, if people are interested, I can record videos specifically to benchmark build per requests.

Gear Options:

Helm: Hubris- As much ES as possible ideally with Int, Accuracy, and an open suffix to craft Strength. Prioritize open suffix for strength roll. Enchants: 40% discharge damage, 30% chance for discharge not to consume charges, shield charge attack speed, cyclone attack speed, aura reservation enchants

Chest: Shavs- 5L needed, 6 link optional, not mandatory.

Weapon: Mjolner- Corrupt for lightning leech, fire leech, or wep range. Quality and rolls do not matter.

Shield: As much ES as possible (Spell damage, es% and flat es is better than es, es%, hybrid if spell damage roll is ~30-40+). For suffixes, aim for Int, res, and an open suffix to craft strength.

Amulet: Volls Devotion- +1 max res, +1 curse, Clean (24 strength+int), IAS, Lightning or Fire Leech are best options for corruption.

Ring 1: Romira's- Get a corrupted one with +mana gained on hit (2 preferred)

Belt: Crystal Belt- Strength, res, ES, Movespeed, Armor, Flask rolls. Lightning Doryani's is also good. Headhunter very good as well.

Gloves: Voidbringer (Only if corrupted for +1 gems). If no +1 voids, then use Repentance. Try to get Ele Weakness on hit Corruption.
