[1.0.0 UPDATED] Lightning arrow with crit as a life-based (Not using Voltaxic)

just about everything I fight at my level has either elemental or lightning resist... so LA does less damage than half leveled up rain of arrows. I just run around them in a wide circle shooting the poison cloud arrow making them stay inside it til they die. I tried spamming LA and did so til I was completely out of mana and they stand there with only 1/5 of their health gone yet doing the same thing with rain of arrows I can get them to 1/3 health left.

I don't think LA is a very useful attack even if it hits more enemies it does so little damage that its actually more efficient to use rain of arrows to kill them all. I tried using the points in my passive same as described in the OP too. granted I don't have all the same gear or half the gems but for my level the mobs should reflect the builds effectiveness but it does just the opposite.

LA is more about shock stack and the massive number of hits. you'll need some shock chance or crit chance for it to shine

relax man, may be you can share your linking on LA.
LA destroys everything since i use thief's torment for mana issue from lv31(was using tabula rasa robe for 6L LA), in your case, seems you are: lack of mana and regen, and lack in dmg
LA-chain-lmp-wed-LGoH does tons of dmg and requires a lot of mana, that's why ppl often go blood magic keystone or link it with blood magic when 6l

Updated for 1.0.0, build is now harder to use :( 5L is pretty much required to do decently, they're a bit easier to get , but yeah it's annoying

If you guys have suggestion for the tree lemme know, I just drafted it quickly after waking up heh, should be good though

Two questions.

1: Do you get all the required skill gems from missions or do you have to trade for some. In case of trading what skill gems are most important?

2: What skill gems do you get from what missions?

Guide looks nice otherwise. Think I am going to try it(depends on how many skill gems you need to trade for.
This game looks awesome!!

And sorry for bad spelling my first language is not English :)

do think ur build will work for this set up any help would be greatly appreciated

Of course , it'll work more than fine ;p That gear is pretty GG You should have no problem

Although you don't really need to be full evasion since voltaxic makes reflect a non issue

Pretty sure the only gem you don't get is reduced mana as far as I remember

How i can run Purity? This build has got low Intelligence. And second question. I think its better to use Added Cold Damage with frenzy instead added fire damage because of hatred aura
