is Static Strike strong? [build inside] [20k DPS milestone reached]

Except Melee Physical will boost the initial hit, hatred, herald of ash and the explosion more than WED or Added Fire.

Try it out and see for yourself.

hmm I stand corrected :)
and that goes to FullBlownDaddy as well.

swapping Added Fire for Melee Phys was hardly noticeable at first, and it was indeed being mitigated against monsters' armor...
... but then I turned on Hatred and Herald Of Ash.
around 2k extra DPS, most of it elemental just the way I like it, is indeed a beautiful thing.

Added Fire can rest on the counter for now. literally :)


with Meginord's Girdle - I now reached around 21k tooltip DPS with auras up.

OP updated + new title.

this build is now officially live!

reached Act 3 Merciless, after absolutely decimating Vaal Oversoul.

went to my Hideout, and popped a level 66 white Dried Lake into the map device.
cleared it. character level 61 (leveled to 62 in the map).
utterly insane.

died once though. Elemental Reflect pack.
I can see this is going to be a problem.

My full self found DW duelist have 23+k dps

All items self Found :)
Nice dps and clear speed in 70-74 maps ( havent found 75 yet)

Very good gem not OP but strong for melee ( aoe part niccceee)


ps dont have Multistike ^_^ damn very rare gem

If you go pure lightning you definitely want to add in Lightning Penetration somewhere. Probably in place of Faster Attacks or Melee Physical. Your tooltip DPS will go down (oh boo hoo) and you'll do slightly less damage against 0% resist enemies, but when you run into a boss, bringing them to 40% resist instead of 75% is a godsend.

bump.

level 64 now. been mapping since level 61 for now, instead of doing Act 3 Merciless.
changed skill tree a bit to fit the auras better, as they grant a big DPS boost.

the build is pretty much done at this point. just need to get more life nodes, because even Glass Cannons have their limits :)
