hello, is this build good choice for start or too expensive?

Too expensive to begin with

Just wanted to say this build feels as good/better than before on 3.6. Pretty much done with my gearing on standard, planning on hitting 100 with him then going on to synth league. +to aoe gems is pretty under rated, lets us push another +1 max res if you put in a 21 purity



Gonna sell off some old legacy gear to get the vaals to link up this bad boy as well

Are you using the same tree as last league?

yea

might go double curse since i just got my ele weakness gloves

Awesome, thanks. Was dinking around with another build but I'm going to finish this one to 100 in std. At lvl 99 11%.

PoB got finally updated with new gem info. This way I was able to run some numbers regarding Arc + Discharge at 5.8 Cyclone APS (no CDR) vs Discharge with 2x support @ 3.73 Cyclone APS (with 14%+ CDR). And as expected - Discharge with 2x support and 14%+ CDR delivers better DPS now.


Here's 3.6 PoB pastebin with build @lvl 94:

https://pastebin.com/i3c0Y6nv


Up to 130k per Discharge with 7.5 Discharges per sec RFed or up to 90k per Discharge without RF. So either up to 975k (585k on average) RFed or up to 675k (405k average) DPS. Thats vs Shaper of course.

Seems legit. Gonna test in-game soon.


EDIT: In-game testing done. Everything looks good.

T15 Double Core Malachai kill vid:

T16 Maze of the Mino:

Note on DPS: 27 sec kill time on Mino with CD + EF (well 25 sec kill time if we substrack 2 sec of my poor Cyclone aim...) so around 500k average, sustained Shaper DPS. Conc Effect might be used insted of CD for even more. Its not the Cospri's CoC Ice Nova level but its not bad for all the tankiness provided.

Gear used in the vids:



Remember people - we need 14%+ CDR and no more than 3.74 Cyclone APS (with everything up) in order to have ~7.5 Discharges per sec (with 2x Support in Mjolner, no Arc). Use Discharge + Elemental Focus and than Inc AoE support for mapping and Conc Eff for bosses.

Thanks Riko, checking out your pastebin right now.

You're a good man, Rico.

Thanks for keeping the faith alive.

@Rico you might want to look at the new skill Wave of Conviction for more dmg. So far from my testing its equal or better then arc.

I haven't played this build frequently in a while, but with this patch arc no longer feels the same to me. Doesn't seem to give the clear speed advantage as before.

I was just comparing to using concentrated effect all the time and the latter seems better in every way. Certainly better on bosses.

Wave of Conviction shows as having the same damage as Arc in PoB, but it will be some time before leveled ones are available to test.
