2.3 Fakener (budget fake Mjölner) build - Trickster Version

what jewels do you use?

OK, i can clear atziri, i just didn't have enough skill. Now after couple of run i know which skills and when i need to use. Build is awesome. Here is my gear, i need to change boots for better ES.

You got a 6L Voll's and the Amulet but you dont even have quality on your chest and flasks...
Also get max implicit roll on those diamond rings and get a better dagger. Skeans are the best base type and multimod that.

Would it be detrimental in any way to have cold damage to attacks on say your ring, as well as having cold damage to spells on your dagger? I'm not entirely clear on the interaction would work.

I understand that each successive hits will reset EE and overwrite each other, so I suppose as long as BV is going at a reasonable pace, having cyclone and BV both available to trigger fire/lightning EE would be beneficial. Discharge cannot be cast without first being triggered by a crit from cyclone first, and with BV stacks also applying EE to mobs at a quick pace, this could only be beneficial as you would constantly have EE up, weakening mobs to fire/lightning res for big deeps on discharge. Am I correct in my assumptions or am I missing something glaringly obvious?

Here are the two versions i've been playing the whole Talisman League, after many optimizations they've come to a FINAL stage.

I would suggest everyone that want to play this kind of CoC Discharge builds to play a CI version. I didn't tried Uber with this yet, but got some ppl that done it already.

The LowLife version was just an experiment (too expensive, got a mirror of kalandra droped some weeks ago so had some EXish to throw at it), ended up being my Uber farmer xD

NOTE: if you want the build works as they do for me you have to follow the links aswell

Is it a good idea to put energy from within under melding with this build?

hi there,

i want to try this build out, but the guide says "shadow" and the tree is not a shadow tree.

any shadow tree available ?

i suppose i should start the tree like that, but i'm not sure :

thanks for your hints

Here's my tree as shadow @lvl 84 in talisman: Link

Just take the ele dmg nodes.

Hi, I'm running a version of this in Talisman SC, fancied a new character, and had just 6l'd a Voll's
Levelling was a bit tricky, I was stubborn and insisted on trying to level with CoC when I could, and as a hybrid! Got a huge survivability boost around lvl 66/67 when I could start wearing decent ES gear though.

CI may well be the way to go, but I've bought a few bits of chaos res gear, and am going to stick with it for now.

My Gear



Few notes on gear

- Vertex is a pretty good choice late in the league when it's cheap. No life and no other resists, but high ES and chaos for it's price. Also lets you run a boosted discipline and purity, so in reality it gives you about 340es - en equivalent rare is more expensive. Might eventually replace, but would have to be a pretty good helm.

- The dagger I had in the stash, not sure if worth a multimod. Would give me attack speed and let me craft damage for EE, freeing up a slot on jewellery. Might see if I can find a better one though.

-Shield, I bought it with the flat and a crafted ES roll fairly cheap. It was worth a gamble, taking of the crafted ES and exalting, a life, hybrid or high ES roll would have made it GG. Hit thorns, so just put the mastercraft back. Still solid, but will look for an upgrade.

- Boots, I like these - pretty much ideal (30% move speed better ofc) and even came with the right colours which saved me a load of chromes.

- Jewellery - Not crafted on the first one as want to try and swap in at least one diamond, but getting the cold resist I need will be tricky. Might have to wait until I have upgraded a couple of other pieces.

- Amulet, Bought this dirt cheap. For some reason exalted the dex onto it - we need dex, but I now have too much! Lets me easily take off the ring and mali's if I want though.

- Belt - Was cheap, does the job, plenty of chaos res. Maybe will look out for a good heavy belt, can lose a strength node on tree then.

I don't have much life on gear, but I do have a bit more chaos res than average, so hopefully will work out. I'm not running clarity either, a single 2 mana on hit jewel seems to be keeping me sustained just fine, so that gives a chunk of life back too.

Got a few ok jewels in the tree, plus one GG one that I exalted (Really was not the best use of currency at my characters current level!) - 8%es, 22% crit multi for discharge + 12 area damage.


Will update once I get properly into maps, and into the 80's - will have taken my ES nodes then so should have a much better idea about the viability of hybrid with a low life pool

thank you very much mate !
is there any advantage in choosing a shadow over a scion ?
