[2.3]~Paper's Shield (Dis)charge Trickster~

This is my variant of the traditional CoC Cyclone Discharge

This thread is a work in progress and will be updated periodically.

*In no way do I claim this build as 100% original - Shoutout to Grocery's CoC Cyclone Discharge Build as a major template for this build!

About
Spoiler
- I made this build on standard after playing a long time as a generic CoC Cyclone Discharge. The clear speed of shield charge + discharge is amazing as we get to move and attack at the same time. With the changes to shield charge, discharge will proc on each enemy hit while shield charging through a pack.
- Furthermore, the buff of discharge now being able to hit up to 30 monsters at once, makes this variant even more powerful as we do not have to worry about having to double back for stragglers as often
- Again this thread is a work in progress as well as the build itself. Will be tweaking the passive tree a bit and need to test out dropping EE to utilize frenzy charges. Also my gear+links are not fully optimized atm.


Pros/Cons

I will be updating this thread very soon with the release of AoW expansion.

In short this build is still very viable imo. Discharge got a 35% damage reduction, however, Cast on Critical Strikes now grants 39% spell damage and casts discharge 100% of the time you crit.
