The impulsive - high DPS, high clear speed, good defenses - Very fun to play and not too pricey



  • I created the chest I'm using in this build (and it's super fun!).
  • I tried to get to insane clear speed with the molten strike single target power, so I found a good use for lightning strike.

Pros and Cons
[+] High DPS
[+] Good Defenses
[+] Amazing Clear Speed
[+] Can do reflect maps for clearing
[+] Fun to Play
[-] Build is not too cheap, about 5ex budget for 5L
[-] Can't do no leech maps


Build Mechanics
This build is a none crit attacker that do shock almost all the time,
while using this chest:

And proliferation gem on the clearing attack.
This way, all the mobs that get attacked are shocked.
When they die they explode, dealing over 100% of their life as damage. You get to over 100%
if you get a lot of lightning damage, elemental damage and area damage, also, frenzy charges and elemental overload apply to the explosion damage and all global increased damage.


My gear + Explanations


Quick Text:
  • Rare helmet with molten strike enchantment
  • 2 X Doryani's catalist with high rolls on DPS, elemental damage and crit
  • 2 X rare rings
  • Rare Elder gloves with accuracy
  • Atziri's step
  • Rare Amulet with life, damage and resists if you need
  • Rare Belt (prefered the new abyss ones)
  • Impulsa's broken heart chest (build maker)

Gear Explained


The main item as explained above under "Build Mechanics"

-


Best in slot, the damage, the elemental damage for the explosions, the leech (that apply to the explosions as well), also, if you don't have an elder gloves put your lightning strike on this item, for elemental proliferation is one of your links anyways.
-


Best for defense, this is an accobatics build.

-


The best rare belt, nothing to add.

-


The gloves need accuracy, and if you can get ones with additional accuracy socket is a good cheap choce.

-


Rings with life, resists and damage.

-


Amulet with life, resists and damage

-


Here you need the molten strike enchantment, life and resists


After 8 days in the league, this is my gear, almost total end game:

Spoiler


Flasks



1st to 3rdFlask: Instant life flask of unti freez, Wise oak - You better balance all resists for attack and defence, Stibnite flask of unti curse
  • I consider these flasks mandatory.


4th Flask: Jade flask for high evasion
  • Great for defence boost


5th Flask: The overflowing chalice
  • The last flask does NOT have to be this: it can be either for pure defense (basalt etc.), or damage (like Atziri's promise or Dying sun if you got the currency for this).
  • Swap this slot for a LIFE FLASK if you go into the lab. You will need it.


Jewels


The two Wild fire are a must, and the Watcher's eye (elder new jewel) is a huge boost for damage and clear speed, you don't need the Physical to lightning gem and you can use the Chain for the Lightning strike and the Lightning penetration for the Moltes strike. Rare jewels need to have life, some resists if you need or you just balance for the Wise oak, also I suggest lightning damage and chance to shock if you can get some of these with increased life


Gem Links

6L: Molten strike, Multistrike, Elemental damage with attack skills, Added lightning, concentrated effect, Lightning penetration (or physical to lightning if you don't have the elder lightning conversion jewel)

4L: Lightning strike, Elemental prolifiration, Chain (or physical to lightning if you don't have the elder lightning conversion jewel), Multistrike, Elemental damage with attack skills

4L: Leap slam, Faster attacks, Fortify, Wrath

4L: Heral of thunder, Curse on hit, Elemental weakness, Projectile weakness

3L: Cast when damage taken, Immortal call, Blood rage

3L: Summon lightning golem, Ancestral protector, vaal breach


Bandits

Recommended: Eramir/Kill All (+2 Passives)


Pantheons

Major: Soul of ARAKAALI with the soul of ARACHNOXIA (When your CWDT is being acctivated, you get 50% increased recovery for your leech)
Recommended Minor: Soul of RYSLATHA (I do many labs so it's very helpful with vaal pack builds).


Passives
the required minimum level to start using Doryani's is 75, I strongly suggest that you start this build as a Sunder + molten strike till then, they switch to Lightning strike

The passives are as follows:

Path of Building Paste Bin
https://pastebin.com/suvK9Wrj - Note that the multistrike gem calculation is bugged and that the chest gives me another 50% increased damage. Also, the damage is before shock, and with the right use of vaal breach you can shock bosses for 50%, so my shaper DPS is effectively about 2M (with the culling of 20% from the slayer)

Well, it's 4L for clearing, prol + chain are very good for this build
