Has anyone tried BL/Knockback/Inc Aoe/Light Pen with Slower Projectiles? According to wiki, "Slower Projectiles increases the amount of time the enemy spends within the ball's area of effect, resulting in a higher potential number of lightning strikes per cast." If my Carcass Jack were 5L I'd test it.

thats without increased aoe or slower projectiles

I'm not going for maximum Knockback, but do use a Q20 KB with a BL/Inc Aoe/Light Pen/Added Light Dmg 5L. I was asking about Slower Projectiles in a similar linkage.

What did you take for the merc bandit quests? Power charge or passive?

Is there a cap to cast speed?

Liking the build so far. I die mostly to desync or reflect(when I stop paying attention :P).

Don't know what OP (Sid) took, but I killed all 3 for the points, however I think the +40 Life from Oak would have been better. Depends ofc on what you can get on gear.

So far, I took +HP and +cast speed. Trying to decide between power charges and the point. This is my first character so I'm not experienced enough to really decide.

Thanks for your reply though!

Hi

I took 40HP/passive/ENDURANCE charge

that last one was a mistake (dont ask..) but TBH.. i like it so far, Immortal Call lasts longer and that is always a plus

will redesign this build for herald of thunder/COH but currently im having a blast with my Infractem Lightning Arrow build - never though i can clear any map with lvl 53 bow..

Maybe the cast speed was a bad move for me.

I'm not completely sure about how all the charges work. I mean, I have a general idea: They can be built on certain spells (ones I don't use) or by curses. I am not running Assassin's Mark yet so I don't seem to get any charges? I never see orbs around me.

I do like the crits though with herald of ice, it's a beautiful thing. I'll have to look at the tree to see if I can spend the point better, but I doubt it since I've already grabbed as many crit nodes as possible and since this is a crit build...maybe I just answered my own question :)
