Why don't you use static electricity jewels ?

It should skyrocket your DPS

well, because It's mediocre, , even simple 12% melee damage, +14% lightning damage jewel will be two times better

To clarify what the guy before me wrote. Using Static Electricity is only good if we have a socket in the skill tree with a lot of dexterity around it. The early stages of the build had a Static electricity jewel, but since i remade the tree, we simply dont get enough dexterity at a single point for it to be worth it. compared to a good rare jewel we get a minor dps increased but lose out on 5-7% life, it is simply not worth it :)

I must say - all this new stuff is insanity !!!

Is Increased AoE support not needed for this build?

What about node Arrow Dancing?

I'm lvl 77 in BHC currently and I have the same question... I'm really thinking 20% melee dodge is worth trading for 40% projectile dodge... Great build btw

You get Arctic Armor and Phase Acrobatics for free.

I don't think you understand "reduced." 100% reduction to AA mana reservation means 12.5% reserved (down 100% from 25%), not 0%.

I think PT is right about this one. Comparing it to a CI Assassin, it does less than half the base damage, and this isn't even factoring in crits with a multi of about 450% and a crit chance of 90% at full tilt. Even with FCs and EO pulling in decent numbers, the damage is very very poor. I was struggling to kill rares on DL. I can optimize harder, but when you struggle to clear 68 level maps with a level 92 hero...

Life is good, I managed to eek out 7.5k with Belly and 7k with Kintsugi but again that pales in comparison to 9k ES.

Accuracy is an issue, supplemented by Hinekora’s Sight, but that is an expensive slot.

The biggest drawback however is the lack of AoE. With the nerfs to BF in 2.5, clear speeds have suffered greatly. Immensely actually. Running BF without iAoE is an absolute no-go. In fact, running BF without Amplify or Blast Radius means spending eons clearing a map, even if you have iAoE socketed (comparison made from inception to 2.5). Tthe nerf to AoE is so big that running CE means basically standing right on top of a monster. I guess BF is now a "true" melee skill.

The problem is BF now plays better as a single target skill. Unfortunately the skill can only be used with one handed weapons, which means we only have one 6L available. And you'd be hard pressed to find a 4L skill that can clear maps at high tiers.

Even with the OPness of the Raider class, I can't see this build running end-game, especially breaches that are so overtuned it's scary.

Just found this sword...is it a good one?

Trying this build out as my first build in Breach.

So far lvl75 with mediocre gear.

DPS is really an issue, it clears low maps fine but I can see it having problems with higher maps. Just IMHO Don't think it can do guardians or shapers, maybe with GG gear.

I went with different direction though maybe thats why Im squishy, using Hyaon at the moment with focus on lightning only. sheet dps is only 3.5k with 5l(increased AOE as 5th link) Edit: 3.5k is with BUFFS, 8charge and EO no flask

Thanks for the build though it will not be a meta build but it is fun. Keen to hear other's experience as well!

Switch out Hyaon's fury for a claw and shield for catalyst, get better rings and amulet all with WED and elreon lightning damage craft. drop faster attacks for Elemental focus. drop heart of the oak and elemental focus nodes in the skill tree and pick up forces of nature instead. Also jewels make up for a large portion of damage. get them as soon as you can :)

because you are playing in standard league, drop enfeeble for elemental weakness
