[CI EK Discharge Build] One Shot Merrciless Kole (Youtube Gameplay)

My IGN is Nili_Exile, feel free to contact with me in game.


First of all, gameplay,
I am now level 80, discahrge gem is level 17,
4 endurence , 7 frenzy , 4 power ( will be 5 at lv81).
about 70k dps one shot merciless Kole ( this version ,the curse has been nerfed)

"


Gameplay Lv68 map , Kill double spider bosses in 0.5 sec
"




The main Idea is using Blood Rage to keep frenzy. Crit EK to gain power . Double endurence cry.

Passives
"


CI,Ghost Revear,Vaal pact,conduit, inner force, Iron felexes,Unwavering Instance.
Bandit Reward: Passive, Passive, Frenzy.
(I would suggest that you pick Endurance because Endurance is hard to get for a witch and it is most useful in a boss fight, but its all depends on your preference.)

In most conditions , when you dealing AOE damage to mobs, frenzy is the most reliable charge. It is almost impossible to lose your frenzy unless you can't find any mob for a long time. At the same time, power charge is the most troublesome thing. You have to re-collect it after every time you discharge.
But when you fight against single tough boss, power charge is the most reliable Mechanism than others.Frenzy is almost useless if no mobs around boss.
Endurence works well in any situation.


Q & A

Q1: Pros and Cons compared with traditional EK build?
Answer:
Pros:
1.Lots Lots of Fun.
2.Discharge is Probably the hightest AOE DPS in game.
3.No fear neither pysical nor ele reflection at all.No need to worry about
Lightning thorn.Easy to deal with flicker.Skeleton Summoning magic monster is
nothing to you.
4.Discharge can make you fully healthy anytime. Also, reliable life leech from EK.
5.You can kill most of lv 66 67 68 bosses one shot..
6.Conduit.

Cons:
1.Gear dependent,not suitable for new player(some uniques binding also).
2.Need to practice for a while so that you can keep the charges properly and
manage your own mana well.
3.Mana thirsty.
4.High MF is hard.

Q2: Curse, Link and gears.
Now I got 32% crit chance for EK. 51% crit chance for Discharge without any gem, debuff and charge.
Choose gear with Energy shield, Spell damage(cast speed if possible), Crital chance.
Using Critical Curse for huge critical damage improving
Current Gear
Spoiler



Q3: Can you still inprove your dps?
Answer:Yes, cuz the discharge is just lv17. and Ill get 5th power in my lv81.
Futhermore, Quality Critical damage qem could be useful.

Q4: Why do you pick unwavering instance(and Iron Reflexes) rather than using a Eye of Chayula.
Answer:It is because I really need to pick the Endurance and Frenzy in Duelist zone and its good for me being free to choose my Amulet.

Q5: Is 6L necessary?
Answer: Not really . If you have a 5L chest, link Ek,faster projectile,Mana Leech,Gain P.C. on crit,Life Leech(no fast casting). and dont pick up Unwavering Instance (using unique to immune stun),using the passives for all the casting speed around Witch zone. Maybe pick cast speed in Cruel bandit. Dont worry , you still got 7 frenzy charges even if without faster casting.

Please give any feedback or advice for improving the build , thank you.

Hey can you explain how you leveled in the low levels?

1. Did you use EK to level throughout the whole time? When did you start using Discharge?

2. Can you explain which of the Main passives did you get first?( like CI > Ghost Reaver> etc.)

3. How did you survive cruel without hp nodes early on? Did you have CI even before going into Cruel or something?

Thanks in Advance.
Thank you for reply.
1. You can use any skill before you get CI, you can use melee weapon or fire ball(with unique long staff) or even a bow, but you have to make sure bring EK discharge on you level up (mana leech if possible)

2.I strongly suggest you go passive tree just the point right before CI ghost reaver and vaal pact ,then get them at the same time

3.once you this 3 points, change into EK would be safe ,at the same time you can use discharge( if sockets is ok for you and you don't face a mana problem)

Ok, did you have CI at around level 30-40? Because i don't think you'd be able to progress with just 300hp since you're not really getting hp nodes at all.

YES, you got it.
I got CI ( and Ghost Revear, Vaalpact ) as soon as possible.
Ek works very well with them.

Hey,

I respecct my shadow to nearly this build and i must say it's pretty badass and it makes fun aswell, and i guess with the right gear its much more fun :P

Currently having ~3,5k ES with discipline and leveling my discharge gem, but with full stacks + crit its one hitting rares on merci docks, pretty sweet!

Died 2 times, but first time desync (forgot to /oos) and second because archers interrupted my discharge D:

My current gear:

Spoiler




Not the best gear, but at least i can solo leveling/farming docks with it if i pay attention :)

My passives:



Still need some regrets but atm i need some str nodes because the gear :/

Well, i love EK and now i love discharge too, and now i have a build i can use both :)

I love it, thanks for sharing it!
there is this new unique prophecy want that provides spell dmg per power charge, your thoughts on this one in the build?

I would like to make my shadow into this build as well. Can someone who is better at doing skill trees than myself figure out how to do it with all the passives toxintoxin picked up?
