[3.2] "Classical" Mjolner by Rico

A little update. Level 85 now. 5998 life. Still using the shield i posted and I bought a new ring that lets me cap res with more life.

Also, Rico, what's the benefit of lightning strike? I may have missed it but you have that socketed. I'm curious as to why, doesn't molten strike take care of everything you need with this build? Or is lightning strike for mobs and molten strike for bosses?

Also i'm going to try out the red trail later tonight to see how I feel about that.

Another question. Is it worth it buying a 0% quality 21 lvl Discharge or is trying to make a lvl 21 , 20% quality better? Also what quality should one prioritize on other gems?


Well it is as it gains increased AoE. However vs 21/0 and 20/20 I would pick 21/0.

Regarding quality:

all Faster Attacks
supports for Discharge
GMP

Lightning Strike + Arc in mjolner is excelent for packs clearing. You have +1 to Chain from Mjolner to both of them. Lots of triggers and its ranged, so you can stand far away and shift-hold-the-ground to clear whole screen.

So I did all guardians/elder and that was all that I really wanted to accomplish with the build. I am moving away from the build due to I want to spam maps for currency so i'm going back to EK Nova.

This build, tested at level 85, tweaked for 6.2k life, accomplished many things in the game including minotaur, chimera, phoenix, hydra, shaper, all elder guardians and red elder, and you basically walk around feeling immortal.

All of these runs were solo and deathless.

I recommend using double strike over molten strike though. Rico try it out in the main link, with chance to bleed. Stick fortify on lightning strike if it's in your main link for now. Replace gmp in main link with double strike.

So on bosses that don't move around too much, like minotaur, I noticed that you discharge, for some reason, A LOT faster than molten strike. But using this skill requires you little error compared to molten strike.

Also this build can not 100% run lab consistently. So if you are hoping to run lab on a 100% basis, don't think that if you are unlucky on a trap. Traps don't trigger consecrate, and they can and will kill you.

Izaro is a piece of cake, aswell as argus, although.

The build with inya's looks like it's a tad less dps than the red trail, but in game that difference feels MASSIVE.

Just my TLDR, Rico thank you for the guide, all of my items are up for sale if you or any of your friends want to try the build out.

I rate this guide a perfect 10/10 because with little error on your part, you will steam roll this game, it may not be fast, but you will kill whatever you try to kill. This build leaves a lot of room for error and you can recover from it.

Thx for this positive and detailed review! I will check that double strike in main link as you suggested. Maybe with current dischage cooldowns it will be enough. Need to test it.

Hi, I have a question about the Red Trail version. Is it worth going for 15 charges, getting one more endurance and power from the tree and frenzy from corrupt?

Frenzy with red trails yes allways as they grant frenzy charge on every single hit, single molten strike ball etc. Pcs and Ecs not really as without inyas 4/4 is more than enough.

Hi! Thanks for the wonderful build. I was wondering about the Watcher's Eye jewel and it's been days that I've been trying to find the jewel that has both % evade and the % pys dmg--purity lightning and no results. I was wondering what would be beneficial or acceptable to buy.. seeing that the jewel is expensive? I do find many jewels with the purity dmg mod thingy but there's other weird mods mixed in along with it and I'm just not sure what to get. Thanks bud for any advice.

P.s for the "more dps setup" section, is there a leveling tree for that? I've been improvising where to go as I level.

Any watchers eye that have x of phys dmg taken as an element is good as long as you run coresponding purity. BiS is double purity but single one is good enough. It doesnt have to be dodge as this build dont run grace.

As far as lvling goes I lvled as crit spell caster but I dont recommend it so theres no lvling trees :p
