Static Strike Lightning Dominator

I have seen and read some builds on static strike and I used it very briefly at the beginning of this league but decided to sit this league out to take a break from the game. I saw someone briefly mention the gimmicky use of CoMK.

That was the very first thing I thought to use it as. I was looking through the skills in the game trying to find an AoE way to use CoMK that synergized with the spell damage you were doing.

Gem Setup
Spoiler
Static Strike>CoMK>LP>CE>Storm Call>RD.

There is a whole swath of gems you can swap out LP or Reduced Duration for. IAoE/Chaos Damage/MultiStrike/MeleeSplash. Pick your poison. I specifically chose reduced duration as this scales well with both Static Strike and Storm Call. Making both happen near immediately.

Auras
Spoiler
Purity Of Lightning, Wrath, Herald of Thunder

Build


The skill tree can be shaped around some based on your own thoughts. Like dropping a few life nodes for the increased block if your going one handed. Or dropping static blows to go down through the assassin tree. I personally went for shock chance instead of crit because it's hard to crit focus both melee attacks and spells together without wasting points. I also don't like spike damage when dealing with maps. I may offscreen kill myself to reflect while a Topaz Flask is down.

I will highlight some of the key uniques that were thought of in this build. This isn't a typical elemental sword wielder or something. This is pure lightning.

If your lucky you could use a Bereks Respite

As an added note to those who decide to follow the one handed path.
(Most HC users will want to take this option to give it some added survivability.)

You can add this in to help run an aura if your mana pool is too small


Let me know what you guys think.
