[3.3] CI Occultist Mjölner Arc Ghost Reaver & Video

Any suggestions are welcome.




INTRODUCTION


**First of all this is my first build. If someone else has a similar or identical build I have no idea. A few people I will mention is people I have played their builds in old leagues and most of my knowledge and ideas is thanks to them and their amazing builds and creativity. In no specific order:

OVERVIEW

Pros:

+ Fast clear up to the boss
+ 6 link not necessary
+ Lots of ES
+ Can clear most map mod combinations if not all
+ Just one unique needed and thats Mjolner

Cons:

- Not a fast boss killer
- Since boss fights at t8+ will take some time learning boss mechanics is paramount to avoid getting killed. I play on hardcore only so dying = me deleting character usually so I try to avoid dying.
- Might get expensive for some, come true endgame gearing.
- Reflect Maps are do-able but not advised to attempt. I ripped just now in a reflect map, cleared it all and ripped at boss because I got cocky and thought I could up my dps a bit.

SKILL TREE EXPLANATION

This will be a moderate wall of text. Open if you wanna read.
Spoiler
With this league featuring a lot of chaos damage I thought CI(Chaos Inoculation) would be a fun and useful talent. I was looking at GR(Ghost Reaver) as well. I love Mjolner and Arc, I always have. Now I couldn't find any build with what I was looking for exactly so I decided to make my own from scratch and with prior knowledge of previously played builds from others that I actually enjoyed.

This build does not revolve around any other uniques other than mjolner and its not a super complex build. Its a straight forward build with tree. Lightning damage nodes and ES as mucha s you can. Most of strength can come from gear.

Use of three curses currently, warlords mark, elemental weakness, and conductivity.




JEWELS

So far I just use abyss jewels with flat ES, global crit chance for elemental overload upkeep, then choose stats based on what you lack or added spell damage preferably lightning.
Looking to incorporate Energy from Within jewel and possibly a Watchers Eye with two discipline aura benefits.


DEFENSE




GEAR

Look at Vajra_Storm and the gear.

GEAR EXPLANATION
For gear we are looking for high ES, resistances , and strength. Once you start mapping t5+ you definitely want to get gloves with support accuracy and faster attacks to support cyclone. Otherwise you wont be hitting as much.


LINKS AND GEMS
Gems I use are as follows.
Weapon: Vaal Arc, Controlled destruction and lightning pen (save the vaal arc for boss and tanky enemies.
Shield: CwDT lv1, Immortal call lv3, and increasd duration as high as you can. Since we use warlords mark for leech already, you will generally always have endurance charges. Helpful.
Gloves: Vaal Cyclone as high level as you can, fortify, curse on hit, conductivity, initially was warlords mark but now that I got boots with %damage leached as life if youve killed recently I see no need for the spot to be taken by warlords mark. Gloves have supported gem accuracy and faster attacks. Supported by poison is just there as coincidence.
Boots: Your choice, I like faster casting and flame dash.
Body: Orb of Storm, increased area of effect, curse on hit, warlords mark, elemental weakness. ( I pop this every once in a while and always for boss or tanky rares/ enemeies with difficult mods like ele reflect etc.
Helm: Wrath, Discipline, CwDT, Ice golem or Golem/spell of choice.
