Updates:
- Added a small video to show the build in action (I only use 5-link Shock Nova setup without AoE): T11 Shaped Strand Run - Yesterday I was lucky to get 6-link Pledge of Hands, so soon will be able to test which skill gem to use as the sixth link. |

" Hi! Thanks for the good questions. Unfortunately, I did not pay attention to these jewels - The Blue Dream and The Blue Nightmare. I'll have to try them to compare their performance with Power Charge on Crit skill gem. In patch 2.6 staff nodes was really improved so they can really be used in this build. I think we can throw away Celestial Punishment nodes and take Serpent Stance and Counterweight nodes to get a good bonus to our crit chance and multiplier. In this case, our final skill tree will look like this: Lvl 100 Skill Tree |

I didnt even think about the staff nodes left of the templar area i just meant the ones you went right past but i guess they are pretty good. Also i was thinking about getting Lightning walker and storm weaver. What do you think ?

" If you evaluate these nodes in terms of dps gain to spented skill points, you get a ranking (from highest to lowest): - Serpent Stance (3 SP) - Lightning Walker (2 SP) - Throatseeker (4 SP) - Heart Of Thunder (5 SP) - Counterweight (8 SP) - Storm Weawer (5 SP) In these calculations I have taken into account data from Path of Building. Based on this, I will assume that the final skill tree will be like this: LVL 100 Skill Tree Last edited by MEDVED_RUS on Mar 31, 2017, 7:07:16 AM

" Yesterday I had the opportunity to test how does The Blue Dream jewel and I can say that it works pretty damn good! If you place it in the socket next to Faith and Steel node on Skill Tree, it gives us 48% chance to get Power Charge on Kill! Because of this, we can replace Power Charge On Crit gem with Controlled Destruction or Added Lightning Damage gems.  Last edited by MEDVED_RUS on Mar 31, 2017, 7:35:23 AM

Hi. I don't know how works "ES Leech(Life Leech)". Can you explain?
How I have to recharge ES when I'm fighting with monsters? | |

Are you sure that you dont have to allocate the points to get the effect of blue dream i thought that because we get faith and steel and the other elemental resistance point we have a 20% chance which would be worth enough. Also do you not have any problems with mana if you cast a lot of stormcalls and what head enchants would you suggest. Right now im planning to use reduced stormcall duration but im open for suggestions. Also how much lightning resistance do you have is choir of storm really worth it right now ?
