[New Video Added] Reizoko's Power Siphon Cast on Critical Strike Build

Not sure if you are still running the Concentrated Effect, but you are unnecessarily increasing the cost of the original Power Siphon by 160%.

Imho, you could simply add an additional Fireball to increase the damage by 50%, which is what I assume you want.

I've done a similar style build. It is one of those builds that gets stronger each level after 50. Just need to get there first.

I don't run Concentrated Effect anymore (nor do I run Fireball anymore), but it doesn't increase Power Siphons cost because Power Sihon is not an AoE spell, hence won't be affected by Concentrated Effect.

So what is the best combination?

I'm running Daggers + Lightning Strike + CoCS + Chain + Arc + PCoC.

I haven't worked out an efficient passive way to get power charges beyond an expensive and flimsy 5L Voll's.
Any ideas?

I theory crafted a setup like: power siphon + gmp/lmp + cast on crit + frost wall + fireball + pierce

The idea is that you can hit enemies many times per fireball if you pierce them multiple times then explode somewhere among the mobs/frost walls. With the added benefit of locking them into the frost walls.

I'd love to see a video of someone well geared trying it.

I'm playing a similar build at lvl 74 atm, i still wear a 5L, however im kind of having problems with soloing for example Lunaris or low maps due to my single target is completely wank. Dont you have the same problem?

Must add that its a really fun build and its easy to change the spells whenever ur tired of one :))

I also changed the build abit, for more group potential and IR for less squishyness (playing on Nemesis)

Looks something like this now:

The next few levels ill go for the life nodes i skipped on the way.

The whole reason why I use Power Siphon is because it's a convinient way to get Power Charges and because of the high base crit of Wands. No idea how to reliably get Power Charges without Power Siphon.
Also, why use Arc when you can shock with Lightning Strike? I would also drop Chain, I don't think it helps a lot for your buid. Rather get Elemental Equilibrium and some non-lightning spell(s).

That sounds like fun. I will try it later and make a video if it's actually somewhat viable.

Yes, single target is kind of the weakness of this build. The key is to not rely on Cast on Crit for single target. My Wand has about 170 pysical dps, which makes it decent for single target.

I'm excited to see the frost wall potential. Another option I thought of was frost wall + firestorm + inc duration (or another firestorm) and getting the skill duration nodes

Cast on crit makes for some interesting combinations!

I gave Frostwall a shot, but unfortunately it is completely unreliable. It casts in weird positions, sometimes even right where I am, blocking myself.

RIP frost wall :(

Unfortunately, yes. It was a nice idea though!
