Hey,
Great guide! I'm currently leveling a toon in ambush to play this.
What are your thoughts on bandits? point/CS/PC? I'm not really experienced with power charges, so not sure if it's the reward is worth it.

Thanks

Thanks!
Get the skill points. :)
Only get Power Charges if you wanna go all out on them and not dual curse.

Ah, I follow now on PC. Is your build up to date under "SKILL TREE FOR STORM CALL build @ lvl 88"? It seems to be power charge and not dual curse.

EDIT: Are you running the build under "tree without power charge"? The bottom part of the guide is kind of hard to read. Not sure if the builds are still from Arc or if they are new builds. Also, listing your current gear/gems would be cool.

Well, for a PC build you really need all 3 +1 PC nodes. I only have 1 there.
Now that you mention it, you can switch the 2 PC related nodes used to get me to Ancestral Bond to the 2 +10intel nodes from above. Some mana and ES wont hurt at all.
Think I'll do just that since i'm not using PC at all currently.


Regarding the last part of your post, I added the Storm Call modification, at the beginning, to be more visible. The tree that i'm referring in the last part of the post are actually at point 3 on the Arc part of the post. Expand point 3 and there they are :) .

Right, that's what I did in regards to PC. Just going through the int nodes to get to bond, instead.
I was also asking about your build because the Storm Call build doesn't seem to have dual curses picked up, so I assumed it was out of date.

There are 2 ways of getting dual curse: Whispers of doom node or Doedre's Damning Ring.
I chose the ring. :)
Each choice has + and -.

Derp, sorry about that. I was still going by the gear in the OP, so I wasn't thinking about Doedre's.

Hi dude, awesome build. I have been playing this build a few weeks and its very fun. I have a question about it, are the crit chance/multiplier nodes worth for a non PC build? Arc is a 4% crit skill and I dunno if them are worth. Im just focusing on spell dmg and FC nodes.

Im doing this build atm :


And there are my current gear and links:


My current stats are 5.1k ES, 75% all res, 1511 mana (900 of mana pool with Disci) and 2100 dmg per Totem.I find Perandus a nice cheap option for the all stats, block&stun and flask bonus, but im going to get the Doryani´s.
The minions at the Moonsorrow aplies the Blind bonus when they hit ( useful for more minion and totem survival ) and im going to link Empower at 4th link for Lightning Warp for faster teleport speed. Im using Arctic Armour for playing with more ppl running Clarity, so my mana regenerates slower and I can play more quiet without spamming totems/curses so my flask effect stays active( and the movement speed of q20 is really nice ).

Sorry for my english, im spanish heheh. Dunno if switching the spell dmg/fc nodes for the crit chance/multiplier and the Added Chaos/Lightning dmg gems for Increased Critical dmg will be more efficient

;)

Glad you are enjoying it.
For arc, you can go with flat dmg because arc has a high shock chance anyways.
Haven't tried it but it should be ok in theory.
But if you go with Storm Call you will need crit chance for sure, at least to get you above 10%.
Nice gear! :)

dcided to try this build 6 link in first fusing :D

Wish I had one of those :D
Crit Chance is ok as extra. You can also try culling strike if your dex hold up.

So... Arc got a damage boost and got a change to the chaining.

UPDATED 21/04/2014
New Arc is awesome. I've upgraded my gear and got about 2k more dps per totem


With Voidbringer, crit nodes and switching added lightning/and chaos dmg for increased critical dmg and reduced mana my totems cost 100 less mana than before lol.
My stats are 6.3k ES, 75% all res, 1400 mana and 5.6k dmg per totem atm with the non Power Charge build version.
With Doryani's ur totems heal dealing lightning dmg and u can skip Static Blows, that belt is a must.
The granite flask with the increased armor nodes will save u lots of times at high level maps, I get 10k of armor with it (50% dmg reduction aprox).

(Old) Flat dmg build:


(New) Crit build, with Voidbringer Gloves (Dont get Voidb if u havent a 6l! u need Reduced Mana!):

Edit: ive updated my gear, gems and pasive tree for the crit build, my char its pure destruction atm.I only skip maps with Blood Magic, Ele Reflect+ 1/2 regen or no regen.
