I having a lot of fun with this build, adn i have some questions.

Can I change the Lycosidae for another shield?

Is Choir of the Storm Viable?

Nice guide! <3

np man, english isnt my native language too ;)

dropping the lycosidae could be a problem because you get all the accuracy you need from this shield, so you would have to find another way to get it if u want change it

and choir of the storm should be a viable option if you have problems with getting a high crit chance

Does using the abyss set cause any drastic difference? (hp / dmg)

Thank you very much.

Wouldnt bloodseeker claw be better? Also saves you a SP from vaal pact

bloodseeker only gives you physical leec. And instant leech is not vaal pact. A gemini claw gives you life and mana on hit wich is a nice qoL boost (and can also reach way more dmg)

nothing changed with 3.4 build works fine

Are we able to start league properly with this build?
And the other question is, why we don't use any pierce chance?

i used pierce as helmet enchantment, if you dont have it. you can pick it in the tree ofc

and it should be fine as starter. i did is last league as atarter

I just tried this build and leveling it until 46 was pure hell. I couldnt afford the rings (they cost a metric shitton in hc) but I had Tabula and kept uprgading weapons, bought jewels, yet it was a painful experience. After 46 when you get Ornament of the east its a blast though, suddenly it kicks off and you get extreme amounts of damage. Long story short I m not trying to bash on the build, but I think you should recommend another way of leveling until then in the guide.

berek's pass rings are way cheaper and give alot of dmg ;) i will put them into the lvling guide :)

edit: done :)

Hey gugg,

Loving the sound of this build as I've been looking to play a lightning-based high damage build recently. I have a couple questions related to using this as a league start for the upcoming Betrayal league (hype).


Obviously this build includes a ton of uniques, which will most likely be tough to get in early league play. Does this build still perform well without some of the crucial uniques? I'd like to league start with it and am hoping to get some advice on carrying this build to late game without the rare/expensive uniques. (lycos, taming rings, etc.)

I also noticed in a lot of the videos that although the damage is incredibly high, the survivability seems someone lacking. Would you have any suggestions to slightly tweak this build to increase tackiness, even if we cut back a bit on the damage?

What about switching assassin ascendancy to Jugg? That may also remove the requirement for Lyco and allow us to use a stat-stick to up our damager further, as well as open up the boot slot to an alternative to Kaom's Roots.... would love to theory craft around this further, so let me know what you think!

Thanks so much! really appreciate the build and thoroughness.

ive done this one time as a league starter, so its a viable choice. you should focus on get a lycosidae asap first. the rest of the gear isnt that expensive except the tamings wich are around 3ex at early league. so just buy the rest of the uniques you need than for some c wich shouldnt be such a problem to get and try to save up some money for the Tamings

you cant wear a statstick because for Dual wielding: attacks with Lightning Strike will alternate the weapon being swung. for a usefull Statstick the skill itself need a weapon wich cant be use with the skill itself...and lightning strike has no melee weapon restriction. you would also loose the juicy shield charge ;)

(so we would need a shielstick to work but i think this will never happen :D)

and for the âscendancy, i use raider not assassin. and you get not much tankyness from the juggernaut scionwheel. the most tank stats for juggernaut comes from the endurance charge things, wich the scionwheel dont provide.
imho offence is the best defense wich means dead things cant kill you ;) so all u need to do is master your dodge skills wich is, ofc, alot harder than just play a facetank build ^^


BUT: you can ofc do it and post your feedback :)

greetings
