yes you can see it regening

Looking at the build his CwS linked ice spears aren't leveled, he probably just forgot, but you can get more damage out of the build.

So I was using a fire discharge build before swapping to this one and its a lot of fun to walk into big groups, but I am having some issues with single targets. I don't know if it is just that I don't have max level gems but any single target yelllows, piety etc I take more damage than I leech and dont do steady enough damage vs anything with regen.

I have been messing with Lightning Storm in helm have bit of mana issues it is kinda working but still cant take out any regen monsters




So the big question... do I just need to stick it out until I get the gem levels + higher tier gear or does anyone have tips?

It's all about the crit. No crits means no discharges, which is your real source of life regen. You should also always try to fight unique with a large pack so you can keep up your charges. I easily two or three shot bosses at the end of maps as long as I'm able to discharge with roughly full charges.

With lots of smaller hit's it's obviously easier to get lots of charges, but some guys hitting for 2k+ just takes all your energy shield, and miss a round of crits from your 2 cwdt procs and you can easily die.

I'm using a manual discharge (because I don't have the 6 link voll's) so there's no waiting for cwdt or cws to make sure I regen.

Also high level discharge is essentially required.

It is indeed possible to level these gems but reflect can be a problem then.

Single target damage is often a problem for discharge builds. I tried to compensate by adding more charge generators and getting crit chance as high as possible.

Patch 1.0.3 is out. Looks like no changes are needed this time, only updated topic title.
