[1.1.4] Windz's Mjolner Build (Atziri and end game viable) SC/HC
|
Hello, fellow exiles
I would like to share my build that I have been playing on Ambush and it has been a blast. When I first made this guy, I had planned to make a cyclone discharge variant using Romiras (this variant really became popular shortly after) utilizing IR and lightning coil. However, after many respecs and testing, I have come the build I am currently using. I do recommend anyone interested in this build to start out as a witch or even Templar to fully optimize the skill points. Passives

Normal - Oak Cruel - Kraiten Merci - Kill all If you feel the attack speed isn't needed, Oak Kill Kill Leveling
Spoiler
I leveled using 2h ground slam as my main attack and just grabbing all the life nodes. With the addition of molten strike now, I believe it is another great way to level. Once you can use mjolner, you will level very fast at docks. Gears
Spoiler
Flasks Swap gear for atziri (just needed hp pots for more heals so the mods arent optimal) Gems

Mjolner links: Arc - Arc - Lightning Pen/Iron Will/Life leech Main Attack: 5 link Lightning Strike - GMP - LGoH - Multistrike - Faster Attack 6 link Lightning Strike - GMP - LGoH - Multistrike - Faster Attack - Chain (you can swap out LS with molten strike and chain for LMP for single target fights without switching colours) Single Target: Cyclone - Faster Attack - LGoH - Multistrike (if desynch doesn't bother you much :P) pair it with a /oos macro to counter the desynch. You can find a guide at http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/473902/page/1 or 4L Molten Strike - LGoH - Multistrike - GMP/Faster attacks or Double strike - Faster Attack - LGoH - Multistrike Support gems: CWDT - Immortal Call - Enduring Cry - Increased Duration (remove CWDT and use higher lvl versions for manual casting) Auras: Reduced Mana - Purity of Lightning - Clarity - Discipline Shield: Reduced Mana - Tempest Shield - Conductivity Arctic armor is a great addition if you can afford to run it.

Spoiler
Having high spell block + purity of lightning + MoM helps mitigate most of the reflect damage. But you also have LGoH linked to your lightning strike and this pretty much ensures your health stays topped off.
I also have a topaz flask that I pop if the situation looks risky such as reflect pack in reflect mod map. How do you deal with corrupting blood?
Spoiler
I have 2 flasks that have the mod staunching (removes bleeding) and I pop it once the stacks get high. The trick with them is to attack in bursts. Attack, stop, pop flask and repeat. Keep track of how many uses you have on these flasks as bleed will do significant damage due to low armor. How do you deal with single target like bosses?
Spoiler
Using lightning pen + conductivity on rares or bosses that have lightning/elemental resistance help tremendously. I personally like to use cyclone as my single target skill, but some people don't like the desynch they get. Double strike + Multistrike is an alternative setup you can run, but it will not be faster than cyclone. Which one is better? Atziri's Foible or Astramentis?
Spoiler
Both amulets have their pros and cons Atziri's Foible Pro -Insane mana and mana regen boost - great for MoM Con -Provides less int (300*0.25 = 75int deduction) compared to 100+ on a high rolled astramentis -Need some dex on gears or dex nodes in passive to use high level faster attacks Astramentis Pro - Raw 100+ all stats gives 50+ life, 20%+ spell damage if you use iron will, and allow you to use dex gems without any dex in gears or passive Con - Mana regen and mana pool is less Is lightning penetration better than iron will?
Spoiler
Lightning pen is definitely better when facing bosses or mobs with resistance. Iron will provides over 100% spell damage so it will deal more damage to mobs without resistance. Usually it is the rares and bosses that give mjolner builds trouble, so in my opinion, lightning pen is better. (note that my current mjolner has a red socket because I needed life leech for the split phase for atziri) If you have any questions or comments, feel free to post here or shoot me a pm.

Nice build, first Mjolner build that actually has some thoughts about survivability behind it.

Why do you use 2 socket for ARC. is it better to replace 1 arc with Discharge and use with Banquet ring?
| |
" That was the build i used when i first made this guy. However I liked the rangr clear of ls and arcs because i dont have to run to each mob. The dps however is great and the variant is viable. Also rip graphics :P Last edited by windz on May 4, 2014, 1:25:30 AM

Replace LS and chain with lmp + molten strike for single target mobs
| |
" i tested molten strike when it first came out, but i wasnt able to get more than 2 procs from 1 attack. it wouldnt shotgun it. i will give it a try again though | |
|
Progress lvl and gem please
| |
"oh it shotguns alright. Melted dom's second form a second with conc effect on ( conc effect reduces the spread) | |
" well i can confirm now that it does proc more than twice for sure with lmp + gmp (tested without conc effect due to colours) ty for clarifying it. i will be adding it to my single target skills. sadly it requires a lot of support | |
|
playing a different build, but will go for yours since i lack surviveability. But i tested Lighning Strike and Moltena nd have to say for large Mobs Lightning Strike is better, but for Uniques and Single Target, Molten Strike procs way more often :)
