[3.13] [SSF] Lightning Strike Raider | League Starter
" You wanna use a mana flask until you get soul Raker, right now I'm using life - jade - diamond - quartz - quicksilver. You can swap one of the defensive flasks for a Sulphur, but so far damage is not being a issue. If you are on trade league Wise oak - Atziri's Promise are good options bottled faith (if you have the currency for it) is also very good Probably tomorrow I will update including flasks, pantheon and Anointments options. Edit: I forgot to mention about the mana flask :) Last edited by RedHoodOmega on Jan 17, 2021, 10:35:53 PM

I am trying out this build, so far I like it, mostly for the speed.
But I must be doing something extremely wrong, cause my damage feels horrible. I don't have all the links or gems yet, only level 32 and just did normal lab but it really takes ages for things to die, especially yellow mobs. EDIT: Nvm, I'm stupid, ignore this post. There are two kinds of people, hunters and their prey. Let me assure you, I am one of the hunters! Last edited by Maurodax on Jan 19, 2021, 8:51:21 AM

" haha, not gonna lie I took a good laugh with your edit. But Yeah tbh takes a while for the damage to pop off, try to remember to upgrade your claws, since its a melee damage this is very important Curse bosses and keep frenzy and acenstral protector up is also important in order to increase damage. Hope you have a good time bro. |

Hey been looking for a fun melee build and I remembered playing LS some years ago with Bringer of Rain and decided to see how is this build now.
So, my main requirement for a new char is to be insane boss killer given the league that we have, how is this build handling bosses? Last edited by xmassacre on Jan 21, 2021, 6:16:08 AM

" Hi, I didn't had enough time to play until the true end games bosses yet, I've been doing around T10 maps in SSF, so far the build is dealing really well against bosses. I've defeated 2 sets of conquerors so far, all before they change phases, something about 8-12 seconds of a fight. On top of that, this build is optimize to be cheap, so you can scale better in trade league with some currency. But tbh I don't know if the LS is the best boss killer in the game, its possible to have trouble against A8 or maven, I believe the true strength of the skill lies in clear speed. If you are looking for insane boss killing potential maybe you wanna go with Blade flurry, BF+BB, DD, vortex or something like that. The build is very fun though. Run around like a madman, entire screen lightning strikes. Also you should ware sunglasses while playing this. |

Bump for a lovely build.
Wanted to run a LS build after the chages to the projectiles this league and this set me on my way. Didn't even know about the Silent Steps on the tree, love the blind mechanic. Was a little concerned about the low hp on the PoB but with Silent step, the dodge and evasion (I'm still using a Tabula), you barely get hit for it to be a worry. Though I can see the one shot con listed coming into play. The leveling was a little rough on stats, so be aware of that, you're going to need plenty of int and str from gear. I did change out the ascedancies, went for avatar of slaughter as apposed to avatar of chase. Wanted more of a passive playstyle with regards to frenzy charges, and it seems to be working fine. Boss damage seems fine, not a boom and dead, but it handles itself. Solo self found so I imagine this will get better with more found gear. Cheers again, much needed buff to LS this league, always enjoyed it. Last edited by Karix86 on Jan 23, 2021, 7:44:04 PM

" Glad to hear that you having fun, and I'm also happy that the guide was helpful :) I also made some changes trying to fine tunning and boost the boss damage a bit. LS is such a fun skill, it deserve some love. Have a good one! Cheers! |

Just wanted to pop in and say that the Wasp Nest unique claw is really good for this build and cheap. I got it from a ritual and it was better than my claw at the time and I kept it all the way until tier 12 maps and just finally bought a replacement for like 100 times the price lol.

I'm enjoying the build so far - still leveling, and I'm not particularly fast so it will be a while before I hit maps. I'm not a brand-new player, but I don't usually play melee builds so this is somewhat new for me. I have a couple of questions, though.
That said, you mention Tribal Fury a couple of times in the main description, but it looks like the skill tree doesn't go near it. What am I missing? " If you have any suggestions for leveling gear, it would be appreciated. I play SSF so no plans to purchase or trade for items. Thanks! | |
" Hi, we anoint tribal fury (blight oils or talisman) or craft hunter gloves with +1 target, I got mine doing heist contracts. Until that keep ancestral call on your links :) About leveling gear, if you have tabula plus goldrim helps a lot (If its your first character in the league, you might wanna farm blood aqueducts), someone point it out that wasp nest are really good in early maps as well. In late game you can get more dps investing in crit claws, but you can stick with a physical one for a while, try get a good roll with crit chance, crit mult lightning damage. |
