Wild Strike + Trinity Support sounds good

In theory it would give 50% more damage and 20% elemental pen.

That is if you can hit with at least one of the 3 different elements every 2 seconds.

The elements on wild strikes are chosen at random so something like 4 attacks per seconds should guarantee the full bonus.

Sounds pretty darn good to me.

Im thinking maybe a Zerker or Raider (big attack speed boosts)

Ideally all supports should buff the initial hit + the secondary effect of wild strike (that one has the attack tag).

6 link :

Wild Strike

Trinity
Elemental damage with attacks
Elemental Focus
Fortify (only affects melee portion of the attack but having fortify on a movement skill is a pain in the ass)

Ancestral Call? (Or is ancestral cry enough now?)
Elemental Penetration ?
Inspiration ?
Multistrike ?

What do you guys think?

Christ, I always forget about Wild Strike.
Did it once on a Raider, was ok.
with trinity though, it is food for thought.

Otoh, I will probably go Necro to build up some $$ in SSF and then roll a Glad.

I played Wild Strike Zerker leecher using Bloodseeker claws for insta-leech back in 3.7/3.8 days https://pastebin.com/6PB6V57p Drop the combat focus jewels as it was lightning only WS.


It was a tank and very fast with super fast clear. Bossing in maps and end games got sluggish though. Good news, DPS just jumped when I upgraded tree from 3.7 to 3.13. Tree was pre-cluster jewels so you can take a lot of points from shadow area and use claw attacks cluster jewel with notables like Fuel the Fight, Martial Prowess, Calamitous, and Drive the Destruction. Some of the megalomaniac jewel combos would work well too. Could probably get accuracy too to drop Lycosidae and dual wield for more DPS.

Thinking would this work with double Rebuke of the Vaal or Voltaxic? HoWA?

Multistrike is usually the right answer. If you're raider with trinity support you shouldn't need any more pen.

What is enough strikes to feel good is up to you. I'd try it with one from the tree and one from Hunter influence gloves b/c I hate gem swapping.

Streamer mbxTreme had a more current and more powerful version from 3.11. Here's PoB converted to 3.13 https://pastebin.com/xLLuk9cg

Drop combat focus (lightning centric)( and change where needed from lighting to tri-element. Trinity Support not in PoB yet. I threw in Rebuke of the Vaal and DPS was decent and way cheaper than custom crafted multi-EX jeweled foils in the PoB. The Tempestuous Steel did a lot more damage even though just fire/light buff with no cold, the 30% elemental resistance penetration makes it strong.

I was thinking about going Zerker crit (90% attacks speed + 40% more attack speed) with a Staff. That amount of attack speed bonus would easily net 5-6 attacks per seconds which means easily sustainable Trinity bonus.

Voltaxic no because wild strike isn't a bow skill. Howa yes definitely.

Claws and swords are over 9 aps. I think some sceptres may be up there too. Plus they have the ele bonuses. With fire/light/cold all having different effects in a natural spread (like Greater Multiple Projectiles) it is pretty cool looking at that high of an attack speed. Crit one hand better than staff.

I just threw in Blood Thorn which has high attack speed for a staff (1.4 aps). Net attack rate dropped from 9.19 with dual Tempestuous Steel (1.5 aps) to 6.68 attack rate. Significant drop in DPS.

Speed is everything for Wild Strike. With high attack rate the 50-60% crit chance is still good enough to proc chill/shock/ignite nearly simultaneously.
