My gear - Infernal blow or static strike?

I do not trust the toolbar-dmg. Also iam unsure about my tests, when doing maps.

I feel that static strike has a higher dmg output when doing bosses, but the average clear speed/dmg is much lower comparing to infernal blow.

what you think about it (base on your experience).

I use legendary st, bor and aegis

Static strike, I got videos of killing lots of things.


Your links are all fucked up, I suggest you read my guide too.

sry but no. i expect few explanations and not a poor guide & ty.

multistrike with static strike.. is.. for people that do not want to do it right (you get what you describe - good dmg vs bosses and poor/awkward vs everything else)

IB (currently) has a solid problem - the explosion it deals CANNOT be blocked/dodged when reflected - it HAS to be tanked. it can get really rough in -max, reflect, curse maps.



id suggest molten strike instead of these 2


and for the static strike and similar phys/ele attacks consider (that is - take) Celestial Punishment and all possible sources of flat 'chance to status element'.

I prefer Static Strike. SS/WED/AddedFire/AoE in your BoR. Quality SS and AoE with AoE nodes on tree. Clear speed is really decent. I skip Multi**** (censored) in my builds.
Also on Beta I will be trying Hypothermia gem instead of Added Fire, should work well with Hatred. With your Soultaker it should be even better.

Infernal blow is better than static strike on CB when stacking pure physical I've tested both, between the two go with that.

Of course since you have a soul taker I would say go cyclone.

I'm by no means an expert on this game but based on my experience, I would suggest Static Strike (SS) over Infernal Blow (IB).

SS can pull off some serious numbers and with proper skill tree and gems, it has huge AOE that allows you to clear rooms in few hits. SS with 20% quality is best investment you can make for that skill.

I'm using following 5L setup: SS+WED+MPD+Multi+Faster Attacks. Some people suggested that Multistrike feels awkward and I must say it took me some time to adjust to it. However, I'm using Leap Slam (+End. charges on melee stun+Faster Attacks (20%)+Stun) as a main movement skill. It works very well with SS. Just jump into pack, SS few times and jump to another group. Delayed SS charges often blow right as I land in middle of next pack, SS next target and jump to next pack.

Another benefit with that setup is that you dont need single-target skill. SS with Multi is wrecking faces just fine.
