looking for alternative to multistrike
|
greetings,
the title says it all. are there any alternatives for it? i personally dislike multistrike since it makes it impossible to use any skill while hitting enemies. (maybe with more attackspeed, but i still dont like it) i dont need the biggest dps possible, just something second rated should be fine. im not that experienced in that game yet, sorry for that question^^ |

If you want to be mobile, Faster Attacks is your best bet.
If you attack with your Lightning Strike from range, "Physical Projectile Attack Damage" is also very good. Both of these require dexterity though. Unfortunately, Lightning Strike itself is changing to a dexterity gem with the patch tomorrow. Maybe you'll be better off using a strength based melee attack, like Static Strike, or something with Melee Splash. You can use Melee Physical Damage as a strength support with these, to make gearing easier. | |

If you're using a 4-link there are many skills that don't need multistrike as one of the 4. If you're using a 5-link, there's still a few skills that don't need MS. There aren't many skills that can justifiably not use MS at 6 links but it's possible.
I'm not going to use Multistrike in Talisman. For reference, my planned six-link is: Infernal Blow Melee Splash Melee Physical Damage Weapon Elemental Damage Fire Penetration Fortify (with Avatar of Fire for 100% fire damage) IGN: Ikimashouka, Tsukiyattekudasai, DontCallMeMrFroyo

Physical builds can usually swap it for added fire or hypothermia, maybe bloodlust if you're willing to base your play on it.
Elemental builds can usually stick in some added damage gem, not really the optimal choice but better than nothing. Crit builds can use inc crit strikes or inc crit damage. Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs.

I struggle a bit with MultiStrike myself. In theory it's a big damage multiplier, but because it spreads damage between targets, it's not good vs bosses if there are other enemies about. Even if the first hit was always on your primary target, it would help a bit, but it seems to be completely random.
It's great if you can get the boss on his own though, his health just melts away. Visually, I don't like it much. I use WoE + Dual Strike + Faster Attacks + Multistrike + Added Fire Damage, and it's too fast to see & animate properly, just buzzing randomly around. I think it's doing about 6 attacks per second. I'll probably remove it after the respec, not sure what I will replace it with though. Fortify is a bit weak, but likely to be my best option, as I keep forgetting to use my secondary attack that does have Fortify. |
