Well, it's not really the same build as my LT Trickster :D

Have you tried to use Doryani's fist with Fist of War support for instance ?

To really get started, you should find a Elementalist build that really fits your idea.

After T16 Baran, I have tried to fight Sirus A8.

The fight felt hard. I was able to do the first phases smoothly, but got blasted several times in the last phase. I felt I was still missing DPS.
I know Lighting Tendrils can be very clunky, and Lightning Warp too. I know I'm running a race with a handicap (or even two !)
So I'm searching a way to improve the speed and DPS.

I have theorycrafted an experimental variant with Doryani's Prototype : "Nearby Enemies have Lightning Resistance equal to yours". The idea is then to reduce your lightning res to the max.
But you need to invest a lot into other defenses to compensate, so even with -125% lightning res, I don't deal much more DPS against Sirus.

I'm also testing a variant where I remove Frost Shield and put Sigil of Power instead. It gives flat lightning dmg (and it looks cool AF !) but you need to fuel it with mana. So I can't keep my current MoM + EB + Corrupted Soul setup. I'd need an Aul's Uprising with "Zealotry reserves no mana". And I need to invest into mana reservation and regeneration. But the good thing with spending mana and not ES is that you can fully use Arcane Surge, for more cast speed and spell dmg.

For the moment, I have put a Medium Thread of Hope jewel into the Templar socket :



I can allocate several good notables :
- Singular Focus + Divine Judgment for DPS
- Sanctum of Thought for extra defenses against curses and crits.
- A small shield node for +6% elem res
- Arcane Capacitor for inc effect of Arcane Surge.

Good luck and have fun, Exiles :)

Hi Exiles,

Here are some improvements for the build :

* I'm now using the Algor Mortis gloves :


Enemies in your chilling area take % inc lightning damage. And how do we get a chilling aura ? That can be with the Volatile Anomaly from the Shaper ring. But it's mostly with the one given by Frost Shield. The chance to sap is also very good to diminish the dmg dealt by enemies even more.

* I have given up the idea of Sigil of Power. Sustaining mana becomes too much of an issue. It's easier to use EB+MoM + Corrupted Soul.

* I have added Unwavering Stance, because the interruptions from stuns while channelling LT makes you lose too much DPS.

* I have tested several Lightning Tendrils + CwC setups.
- For farming, Arc is the most famous, but I actually prefer Spark. As it's persistent, it gives a kind of DoT + leech over time (I'm leeching 0.4% lightning dmg as life).
- For bossing, Shock Nova was a bit disappointing, while Ball Lightning is very efficient.

Hi Exiles,

here is a new video :
#6 : The Phoenix

Boss has 50% more life, so it was a tough and long fight, but I managed to do it deathless :)

Next video will be the Shaper fight.

Good luck, have fun and happy new year :)

3.13 updates

Trinity

I am now using the new Trinity support : when you deal a hit with a majority of one element, you gain up to 50 Resonances with the other elements. So a lightning hit will grant you cold and fire.
For the support to work, you must have all 3 Resonances at the same time. Then you gain up to 50% more elem dmg and 20% penetration !
This is totally insane !

Much better than Controlled Destruction, which was my 6th link beforehand.

But how do you get all three resonances ?

On the official video announcement by GGG, the guy was using two different skills, one lightning and one fire IIRC.
But my build has lot of flat added lightning damage to spells, which makes it very hard to reliably get a spell hit with a majority of another element.

After some tests, I've found a way to get all 3 Resonances only with Lightning Tendrils.
By equipping a Call of the Brotherhood with 20% elem quality, I convert 48% of lightning damage to cold.


Then, some of LT hits will deal a majority of lightning, some other will deal a majority of cold dmg.

And that's how I get all Resonances together !

Here is a demo in a Synthesis map :

#1 : Trinity.

Hope you like it :)

Next videos will feature fights witnessed by Maven, including the Elder and Pure Uul-Netol.

Good luck and have fun, Exiles :)

A fellow player asked me advice about levelling with this build.

Here are some suggestions for weapons and shield.

Sceptres, Daggers and Wands

/!\ You can't equip a wand and a non-wand weapon at the same time.

https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/List_of_unique_sceptres

https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/List_of_unique_wands

* At level 10 : Axiom Perpetuum sceptre : elem dmg, crit chance, cast speed

* Level 12 : Storm Prison wand

* Level 32 : the infamous Bitterdream sceptre, which gives you 6 small supports, allowing you to have a pseudo 9-link spell.

* Level 50 : Heartbreaker dagger. Your spells have Culling strike (they kill enemies under 10% life).

* Level 62 : the Singularity, which will drive you a long way into the Atlas. Up to tier 11-12 maps at least.


Another option would be the Shimmeron wand. But : it's not a lot better than Singularity, and it deals you a lot of lightning dmg each time you crit. So that's dangerous.

After that, to finish the Atlas, you will have to invest in a good rare Sceptre or Wand.

The one I have is expensive (at least 20 exalted) and is legacy :


*

Shields

https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/List_of_unique_shields

Level 60 : Mistwall is an excellent defensive shield, giving you elem resistances, block and phasing.

The best one for us is available from level 28 :


30c in league, 50 in standard.
Gives you more dmg the more block chance you have. Reach 38% and then get Glancing Blows to reach 75%.

More budget :
Level 53 : Esh's Mirror

Level 62 : Perepiteia. But lots of mods have variable, so good ones are expensive.

*

I'll search other levelling items for jewellery and armours.

Hey,

Lightning tendrils is my favourite skill but it always needs a big advengtage in order to feel (very) good. Followed your guide here and it feels amazing + it can take a good hit wich is good for me because I tend to run always right in the middle of a pack hahaha. Just wanted to say great job on the build man.
