I tip my hat to you Sir, you just made me want to go play softcore...

thank you, exactly this is why I like to play softcore, hardcore feels like work instead of pure fun

Nice to see whats possible with some insane gear!

I started on domination and currently i play a similar build for effective grinding.

My first idea was to use power+frenzy charges crit build with Voll's Protector and Frenzy with Cast on Crit and Discharge+LL. But it couldn't get the gear to get a high attackspeed to trigger it. To much gear required.

So i took the leveled witch and made a Cast when Stunned Discharger.

Even as CI with some Blockchance the clearspeed was insane.
But there was also to much RNG and i had to tank to much (rly silly deaths possible).

My next step and what im right now is Cast when Damage Taken.
The clearspeed is slower, but the rng is gone.
But there are also new Problems!
The 30%dmg effectiveness hurts the part of the Frenzy Charges which i get through kills with bloodrage. So all kills turn into just 30% effective kills.
Next Problem is my Crit Chance, its to low to have always all Powercharges up.
So my Powercharge generation is also just 30% effective.

I did some math and a lvl 6 Gem is still 94% effectiveness of the lvl 1. But the trigger is delayed and the charges become 50% effective while the charge generation is almost the same.
(The discharge creates charges to, less discharge = less charges, but most charges come from other sources like kills(fix) and lvl 1 proc skills and Shocknova)

The level 7 Gem is at 90% dmg effectiveness and this is getting worse with each level. Will try the lvl 6 one and maybe i can improve my clearspeed.

My stats are:
3k ES
1 HP :>
Critmulti 276 = 414%dmg
CritChance 316 (+300 with 6PC) = 33,3% (57,3%)

My build:
FrenzyPowerDischarger

Gear:


Most Procskills change cause i try different out. Run out if chromatics :(

But anyway. What you see is this concept can be done in a new league to with average gear.

do you level with this kind of stuff or do you level as another skillset?

Also to add, what do you guys do as far as Bandits goes? Also, at what point do you take CI?

this is a new build, to 87 I used regular crit discharge, but I believe this to be viable leveling spec
bandits: norm - passive, cruel - passive, merciless - power charge

CI: debatable, when you have enough gear for viable ES

So i tried the lvl 6 Cast when Damage taken Gem and it was worth it.

Exactly what my build needed to clear faster.
After that i also got more critchance in the tree and on gear and it improved even more.

The synergies are just awesome!

Stats are now:
3,9k ES
1 HP :>
414% crit damage
50% critchance (74% with 6 Powercharges)

Passive:
FrenzyPowerDischarge

Gear:

nope, tried to level the witch with es based(no CI) and it was just horrible.
If i would level again then with firetrap/discharge and a +gemlevel weapon for firetrap. HP based as long as possible. Until lvl 72 City of Sarn. After that Lunaris 3.

Bandits: skill-skill-powercharge

My build doesn't need any castspeed. Its pure on spelldmg, critchance, critmulti.

Singletarget sucks, thats what im going for next, improve singletarget to a decent dps.

awesome, thanks for the reply's guys! Currently 18 atm on my witch

So i tried Firestorm with LL+ML+FC and i can kill piety now. And rly fast 2. Just tank her in all forms Oo and firestorm spam her.

I think increased duration is better for firestorm, mana and life wise. But thats less crits overall(counts only as 1 crit per cast)

Firestorm is rly sick!

Always wanted a Firestormer and now i have one :D

And its super fast grinder! \o/

LOL are you kidding me!!!???

Icespear with GMP gives 5 (FIVE) Powercharges per critical on singletargets.

I'm at 45% CC for Icespear and the trigger dmg is just 440dmg. So its 2.5 Powercharges on average. Discharge goes off at 780dmg.

I tried 3 Enduring Crys with Cast when Damage taken to get more charges for single target fights and this was just to weak. Just fail for singletarget.

Firestorm is also gone. Died 2 out of 10 Piety fights because the leech was not enough to tank her ice form. Or my Discharge went off out of leech range.

With my ST Scion i just right click her (doublesrike) and watch her die. I want the same for this build.

So i think i will try the Frenzy now. Together with the Icespear i should get way more charges and leech even on singletarget high enough.

Btw, i went for Dominus and the fight vs his mini bosses was sooooooo easy. Just stay between them and they die. Dominus was easy to. Died 2 times because of wrong positioning and low singletarget leech.

If i just get this single target leech done i can grind dominus 2. The area befor him is also a quick free kill with this build. But AoE dmg was never a problem :D

Frenzy here i come!
