Arc
" Interestingly, if you're going for spark for single target, LMP is better than GMP. Both LMP and GMP give the same damage coefficient for spark: 5/3 * 0.7 = 1.1(6) for LMP and 7/3 * 0.5 = 1.1(6) for GMP, but it's easyer to hit with all the sparks with LMP than with GMP. |

" Argh! I forgot about the extra projectiles Spark already has (you can tell I haven't touched the lightning spells in a long time!). LMP/GMP aren't amazing supports for Spark in that case, but Barrage|GMP|CoCS is still amazing. GMP beats LMP for CoCS proccing, but you are right that it is more difficult to hit with the Sparks themselves with GMP - best to be right-up-close for shotgunning then. Interestingly, Wand Barrage|GMP|CoCS|Arc|Empower|Something would work very well for both aoe and single-target I feel, while being able to keep some distance.

Well, as some builds have realized, nothing really beats Arc (21)/Lightning Penetration/Faster Casting/Empower(4) in a 4L item with +1 gems.
Except a 6L Chest with +1 Gems, and then you add Life Leech and eventually Echo? :D [3.22] 💀The Grim Reaper💀 - Hexblast Poison Mines Assassin

Or a 6L staff with +1 to all and +2 to Lightning Gems :P
Depending on your build Elemental Proliferation or Critical Damage are also nice alternatives ;) |
|

Yeah, I'm surprised that more people aren't talking about Arc+Elemental Proliferation because the combo is amazing. With a 19% gem I'm pretty much insta-shocking everything, which ramps up the damage considerably because things are shocked before they get the first hit.

" False. I came up with 4l better combo. Deerstalker with Arc+MT+LP+EMP and you have 21 unit hit reflect free spell thats independent on cast speed and gear. Beat this! Last edited by kavinux#2534 on Apr 13, 2014, 10:27:52 AM

Now all I want is that they finally make Arc a "projectile" so I can go Arc+GMP "Palpatine style".

arc buffed, coming back for the game :)

""EMP"=? upd. Got it, empower ) And worst change is putting almost all bosses in new version of maps into fucking small areas, where you can't kite well or dodge stuff. What a terrible idiot invented that I want say to him: dude flick you, seriously flick you very much. Last edited by silumit#4080 on Apr 15, 2014, 5:22:19 AM
