Current Blurb on the build
Spoiler

After getting Merc lab finished I have decided that this build is garbage.. Just kidding it is feeling pretty damn amazing. I am about to hit level 80 and have a level 79 tree for you to look at below. If you have any thoughts or questions feel free to ask by replying to the post! I also Acquired a Vinktar's Flask and added a Flask Section below!


Initial Thoughts
Spoiler
I've been tossing around the idea of Pathfinder Mjolner Discharge since Perandus league. This league I have been bouncing between a bunch of other people's guides but decided I wanted to make something of my own once again. You may recall my Scion Voltaxic Low life sparker from Perandus (Now kind of a pale shell of its former glory).

Anyway Pathfinder has been proven absurdly good using Blade Vortex this league and it facetanking things that shouldn't be (AWESOME?!). So due to the expensive of conversion Vinktar's and wanting to do something slightly more hipster, we are left with my current self made baby of a build. I have spent a good 20+ hours the past 3-4 days working on this along with past Mjolner experience so I am hoping that it will continue to perform so well into higher tier maps.

This is work in progress and we shall call it beta testing because despite it being decent at 75, Mjolner builds are either make or break at higher levels. I have already changed the tree a bunch of times and blew through a lot of regrets doing so.


Leveling Suggestions
Spoiler

This build isn't the easiest or fastest to level but its not bad. I chose to level with the Whispering Ice staff after I could equip it. You can use Bladefall at level 28, or Firestorm from level 12. I don't suggest switching to try Mjolner at 60. Resist the urge and save some currency. Switching that early means you need life based Mjolner gear then ES based at roughly 75. Its much better to keep leveling as whatever you chose until you are at least 70 but 75 would be more ideal.

Sorry if you wanted a step by step leveling guide :( this isn't really for that.


Suggested Switch at level 75 from leveling setup
Spoiler

Tree at 75


Gear at 75 (Far from optimal)
Spoiler


I can suggest one of the following for budget chestpiece that is easy to chrome:


Use an inertia jewel near Ranger to convert Dex to Str.
I also use an Inspired learning jewel above witch in that socket with 4 notables learned.

Auras I was running at this point:
Blasphemy - Warlord's Mark (For leech as I don't have life leech socketed in mjolner or Vinktar at this point)
Herald of Ice/Herald of Thunder
Discipline

Stats at 75 with my gear:
Str: 438
Int: 400
Dex: 158
Energy sheild: 6213 with Discipline
Discharge Crit: 51.74%
Crit Multi: 278%
Molten Strike APS: 3.76
Lightning Strike APS: 3.73



Flasks I use
Spoiler




Level 79 Tree (Gear is pretty much the same)


Thanks for reading!
