Hi mate,

I'm just having a blast! Thanks for that lovely build! :-)

2 questions though (sorry if you've answered them already):

why no Golem?
why no Wrath?
what's the Flame Dash Setup for?

Keep it up!



No more gem sockets for golem.

Wrath has a huge mana reservation cost which lowers the effective life pool (the build uses Mind over Matter). You can use an Essence Worm ring but I've found it's not worth the lost life/mana/resists from a normal ring.

Flame Dash is for dodging boss attacks when you swap to ball lightning/shock nova.

This is based on current Bestiary Softcore prices:
Inpulsa's Broken Heart: 1 chaos
Poet's Pen x4: 80-100 chaos
Mind of the Council: 3 chaos
Other gear with high life / mana / resistances: 10-15 chaos
Jewels with 2 damage affixes: ~1 chaos x 7 jewels
Total: Approx 120 chaos

Other items to strive for:
Berek's Grip: 30 chaos (If you can't afford this, you can speedrun Cruel Lab a few times to get boot enchantment with %damage leeched as life/mana)
Choir of the Storms: 45 chaos (Can be substituted for an amulet with life / mana / resist / crit multi if you can't afford it yet)

Hey,

You seem to have a pretty good pool of life + mana. I think your defense is suffering because of two things: not enough cold resist, and not enough shock.

If you have 75% cold resist, you only take 25% of all incoming cold damage. If you have 47% cold resist, you take 53% of incoming cold damage. That means that you are taking 53 / 25 = 2.12 times more cold damage! Get max cold resist, that is the highest priority.

Next, I recommended that you get Beacon of Ruin ascendancy before you get the Mastermind of Discord ascendancy. Without Beacon of Ruin, your Ball Lightning will not be able to shock big enemies. This reduces the effect of Mind of the Council. Furthermore, Beacon of Ruin makes it easier to shock and explode groups of enemies the moment you teleport into them. They can't hurt you so much when they die instantly!

One option is to respec Mastermind of Discord and the Elemental Damage/attack/cast speed node before it. This will cost you 10 respec points. Your other option is to complete the Uber labyrinth and just pick up Beacon of Ruin, without using any respec points. If you need help acquiring trials for the Uber labyrinth, go to in-game chat channel /global 820, people there will help you get the trials.

Once you get Beacon of Ruin, your killing speed and damage will increase considerably. Finally, keep leveling up Arc, and try to get level 20 or 21 arc if possible.

thanks, i go to labyrinth eternal
Lovin' this build.

I haven't done uber lab yet so I got the ascendancy to get the extra spell dmg leech and elemental reflect immunity instead (I hate having to re-roll maps!)

I also am using a lightning doryani's invitation and a shaper ring with the lgoh for spells (with a berek's for the other ring).

I'm using a 5L inpulsa's with barrage, FA, add accuracy, gmp, and lgoh.

This means I'm leeching a total of 1.7% (1.9 if I popped atziri's promise) lightning dmg as life and getting a lot more life gained on spell dmg hit with the shaper's ring, too. I'm actually contemplating dropping the berek's entirely for an essence worm so I can have the extra mana from wrath unreserved.. or just another shaper's ring with some great dmg mods and more life gain on spell hits... curious if anyone's tried going sans-berek's yet.

I also like how doryani's increases our chance to shock by yet another 10% - I'm sitting at a pretty 65% even before the rotating buffs come through - it sure seems like an underrated belt and the price sure is nice ;)

Absolutely love this build so far. I much prefer the lightning theme over the more traditional VD builds.

I am about to do Uber Lab, and was wondering just how good Mastermind of Discord is. Against trash, it really doesn't do anything, but against end-game bosses I can imagine that an extra 25% pen gives a lot more damage for stronger shocks. I'm wondering just how noticeable it will be.

The alternative would be to go Paragon of Calamity, for ele leech and reflect immunity. I tried running a reflect map, using Yugul, and I could leech no problem, but my mana disappeared instantly. Also, Liege of the Primordial would be much better than Pendulum of Destruction. Having two golems out means you get perma 40% increased damage, instead of 75% damage half the time. If you use flame golem, then the damage would be the same, but it doesn't rotate to increased aoe. You also get a second golem for whatever you would like.

Basically, Paragon of Calamity and Liege of the Primordial would be better for map clear, but Mastermind of Discord is better for bossing. I'm just not sure how noticeable the extra pen would be.
why are we using barrage instead of frenzy on chest?
more healing?
4 mod jewels and enchants are killing me man!

if possible could you tell me my dps?
or even teach me to calculate through the path of building


I gave an improvement, check it out dariidar, I'm making maps 12 now without problem, I'm advancing the measure of the experience in the game ...
