Opinions on Molten Strike set up

I like Molten strike so I'm centering around that but don't know if my set up works?

i was only able to get a 5L chest plate (I have recently learned how to craft and add and charge mods, so i'll try that in the new league) so my set up is:

Molten Strike
Ancestral Call- i like the extra peeps for mobs
Life gain- for life gain
endurance charge on Melee stun - like endurance charges/ i think i need something that creates melee stun though
Multistrike- ??? / could be overkill

Update... I'm trying Duelist with Dual Strike before next league starts. SO far so good. any suggestions on support for it????
Molten Strike has been nerf-hammered into the ground.
There are better skills.
~ Please separate the PoE1 and PoE2 forums.
It does still work but it way more clunky than it used to be.

This is a very interesting take on it:

Thank you for the tidbit but what were you referring to… molten strike or double strike??? What skills were you referring to that are better for a melee set up???

Thanks Orbaal, that video was intense but renewed my interest in Molten Juggernaut.

Being a noob I didn’t get everything he was talking about but some I got with your suggestions. I’m going to keep trying to get the path of building to work. Can’t import others builds. NOOB as my son calls me.
There are different PoB-Versions available.
The initial creator war hired by GGG and discontinued his project. Now the community has taken over and is working on the community fork, which is the version you should be using:

Thanks again. I was able to use the code portion of PoB import. It truly is an awesome feature. I watched the video you supposed again and with PoB I have a pretty good plan for Scorge. The only weird thing was how much accuracy he focused on on the tree. I’ll give it a try. It worked well for him in Labyrinth and maps.

Any thoughts on what you will be running on League Start?

Not until we got the patch notes, which usually happens about 48 hrs prior to launch.
After that I´ll be busy adjusting a few of my starter candidates to figure out what might work out well enough and hopefully get it done it time :)


With regards to the Jugger MS build:

He is stacking accuracy because this scales attack speed ("Undeniable" asendancy perk). The more often he hits, the more projectiles he is going to spawn and thats the basic idea of the build.
Downside is obviously the mana costs and he solves it by using a claw providing him with life and mana on hit, so he cant run out of mana as long as he is attacking and also heals at the same time. The claw also allows him to utilize the Nightblade support gem, granting him Elusive on crit which is just another source for attack and spell dodge and stacks nicely with Acrobatics and Phase Acrobatics keystone.
The idea here is to dodge most of the incoming hits regardless whether its attacks or spells and heal back instantly in case he does get hit thanks to the claws life gain on hit implicit and a massive amount of projectiles hitting everything nearby.

The rest is pretty straight forward I think.
Looks like a decent enough starter to me and should also be somewhat cheap because very few people are actually playing claw builds, let alone Molten Strike.
Why are the notes so important for a build decision? I know everyone is different but what does it reveal that you can’t prep way before? Has it been like this sense you started playing?

So true on the claw and ms. I see more about gladiator than jugg and not much on the claw too. Honestly I was thrown off by the claw too but that might be interesting considering it’s mods. Thank you for breaking down for me about the claw. Gives me more hope in trying it. I’m just used to swords and axes dealing damage and just learning about having things working for me in the background.
